“Adobe announced at the GSMA Mobile World Con­gress here Mon­day that Flash Player 10, which is the full ver­sion of Flash that runs on PCs, will be avail­able on smart­phones run­ning Win­dows Mobile, Google’s Android, Nokia S60/Symbian, and the new Palm oper­at­ing sys­tems. Devices with Flash Player 10 are expected to hit the mar­ket start­ing in early 2010.” Awe­some, the Palm Pre sounds more and more interesting.

Ok this was pretty funny.

Ummm, nope. This one works really well and bal­ances a host of things. Any such thing cre­ated any other way which it would have to, would never have the scal­a­bil­ity or the pri­vacy and a host of other fea­tures that are very good about the Internet.

“NO NOT TEST MY PATIENCE!!” Giggle.

Awe­some news: “One of the first attempts to use gene ther­apy to treat HIV has pro­duced promis­ing results in clin­i­cal trials.”

Very inter­est­ing: “As of Decem­ber 2008, 11% of online Amer­i­can adults said they used a ser­vice like Twit­ter or another ser­vice that allowed them to share updates about them­selves or to see the updates of oth­ers. Twit­ter and sim­i­lar ser­vices have been most avidly embraced by young adults. Nearly one in five (19%) online adults ages 18 and 24 have ever used Twit­ter and its ilk, as have 20% of online adults 25 to 34. Use of these ser­vices drops off steadily after age 35 with 10% of 35 to 44 year olds and 5% of 45 to 54 year olds using Twit­ter. The decline is even more stark among older inter­net users; 4% of 55–64 year olds and 2% of those 65 and older use Twitter.”

Yeah this is one prob­lem I have with com­pa­nies only car­ing about their profit mar­gins, it forces other com­pa­nies to cre­ate vir­tual slav­ery posi­tions to achieve such great margins.

At what point are patents just bad for innovation?

I espe­cially enjoy that for moral author­ity he is ranked 35^th out of 42.

That’s hor­ri­ble news, it was such an awe­some idea.

Awe­some.

“An F.B.I. agent who worked on the inves­ti­ga­tion of Sen­a­tor Ted Stevens of Alaska, who was con­victed on ethics charges, has said in a stun­ning for­mal com­plaint that a fel­low agent and pros­e­cu­tors con­trived to improp­erly con­ceal evi­dence from the court and the defense.” Seriously?

Good to hear from the Pope.

This is going to be an awe­some trial. The Pirate Bay always knows just what but­tons to push.

Nice to know Google actu­ally pun­ishes itself.

“The new chief exec­u­tive of phar­ma­ceu­ti­cal giant Glax­o­SmithK­line had said the com­pany will cut prices for its drugs in the devel­op­ing world.” Awe­some news for the med­ical care for 50 of the world’s poor­est countries.

Good job, stu­pid music industry.

“We head off down Panchsheel Marg, one of New Delhi’s main streets. The ladies want to show me some­thing. The U.S. Embassy and the Chi­nese Embassy are both located on Panchsheel, directly across from each other. They asked me to check out the rooftops of each embassy. What do I notice? Let’s see … The U.S. Embassy’s roof is loaded with anten­nae and lis­ten­ing gear. The Chi­nese Embassy’s roof is loaded with … new Chinese-made solar hot-water heaters.” That’s interesting.

Good to hear they had the fair and bal­anced thing going on.

I find it funny that more Catholics accept evo­lu­tion than the gen­eral pub­lic as a percentage.

“Traf­fic pol­lu­tion causes genetic changes in the womb which increase a child’s risk of devel­op­ing asthma, research suggests.”

It’s look­ing more and more like the plane lost it’s abil­ity to fly due to ice.

You will now be able to down­load YouTube videos offi­cially, paid and free, and licensed includ­ing Cre­ative Com­mons licenses.

Pretty sweet necklace.

I’ve been hear­ing about these for years, and not much hap­pens. Peo­ple don’t have the money or at least aren’t will­ing to pay $10,000 just to save some money in the long term or help the environment.

“Venezue­lans are vot­ing on a pro­posal that would remove lim­its on how often politi­cians, includ­ing Pres­i­dent Hugo Chavez, can run for office.” I find that a scary idea no mat­ter how good a politi­cian has been to a country.

“The United States army is to accept immi­grants with tem­po­rary US visas, for the first time since the Viet­nam war, accord­ing to the New York Times.” Good idea to increase recruit­ment num­bers and pos­si­bly bring in peo­ple local to an area.

“WYMed­i­tor is a web-based WYSIWYM (What You See Is What You Mean) XHTML edi­tor.” Neat idea that doesn’t allow your end users to break your stan­dards based design through com­ments or input fields.

The sim­pler you make stuff, the eas­ier it is for users to start using your product.

“At least 235 marine species are liv­ing in both polar regions, despite being 12,000km apart, a cen­sus has found.” That’s pretty cool.

“A Com­mu­nity of Nontheists! ”

Because that makes every­thing better.

How the heck did his bike get stolen and what would you do with it?

It would feel odd dis­cussing a host of top­ics with a cru­ci­fix in the room. That being said Boston Col­lege is a pri­vate insti­tu­tion and can do what­ever they want.

Good answer to this prob­lem. Essen­tially ask for some more time.

I 100% agree with this espe­cially after now work­ing with cor­po­rate websites.

175 mil­lion peo­ple on Face­book, that’s some crazy numbers.

Corsets, yes please.

I’m still not sure about this.

Duh, and no it’s not ille­gal or wrong. Skype should keep it’s secu­rity closed off. Gov­ern­ments do not have the right to just ran­domly tap peo­ple just for what­ever. Plus if Skype was to open up and pub­lish it’s encryp­tion scheme, they would just move to some­thing else.

Why the heck would you send death threats to a mother, even in this case. There are some sick peo­ple out there.

Agreeded, why pay for music when you can get it for free and it’s eas­ier and you can cus­tomize the music.

From the abstract: “Our focus was on the Web browsers Fire­fox and Opera. We found that the patch level achieved is mainly deter­mined by the ergonom­ics and default set­tings of built-in auto-update mech­a­nisms. Fire­fox’ auto-update is very effec­tive: most users installed a new ver­sion within three days. How­ever, the max­i­mum share of the lat­est, most secure ver­sion never exceeded 80% for Fire­fox users and 46% for Opera users at any day in 2007. This makes about 50 mil­lion Fire­fox users with out­dated browsers an easy tar­get for attacks. Our study is the result of the first global scale mea­sure­ment of the patch dynam­ics of a pop­u­lar browser. ”

Money quote: “So here’s a final word from Precinct Com­man­der Evans — if ever the British were mad enough to legalise guns US-style, they’d die to regret it.” What is it like to be in charge of the NYC police force for a few hours?

Heat HTML tags, most use­ful one is <abbr> which lets you dis­play a tooltip describ­ing an abbreviation.
