until the quality of life over age 60 is as good as at age 30 it's completely irrelevant how long over 100 we live.

... I happen to have one of those tablets from HP here in the office (due to development contracts that we had with HP) and would like to be able to make use of it again. However, I'm not willing to bank on it. I mean javascript on the desktop. ouch.

Apple has seen the light. They know that sales will drop now that SJ is gone and people are starting to see that Apple is actually just a the best marketing company ever and so are starting to by products from real innovators. They have also noticed that the people that are able to pay the premium price for Apple marketing (or should that be products?) have also reached it's peak.
Now they have finally found a way to get money from those that 1. Don't want their marketing/product and/or 2. Can't afford it. They now have a way to get money from the unemployed without even having to give them anything in return. Best business model ever.

Australian Govt Holding Secretive Anti-Piracy Talks 218
daria42 writes "Looks like Australia's Government prefers to keep its ongoing anti-piracy discussions behind closed doors. It held an initial meeting in September last year to try to get the content and ISP industries to thrash out an agreement on how to handle Internet piracy. Consumer representative groups were explicitly blocked from attending the meeting, and attendees are not allowed to reveal what was discussed behind closed doors. Now a second meeting has been held, and again, no information has been revealed about what's being discussed. Quelle conspiracy?"

Submission + - Apple launches new legal attack on Samsung (reuters.com) 1
walterbyrd writes: "Apple Inc has asked a federal court in California to block Samsung Electronics Co Ltd from selling its new Galaxy Nexus smartphones, alleging patent violations. In a suit filed last week in San Jose, Apple said the Galaxy Nexus infringes on patents underlying features customers expect from its products. Those include the ability to unlock phones by sliding an image and to search for information by voice."
Submission + - Encrypted P2P Voip 3
shaitand writes: I've been combing the web and have yet to find what I think is pretty much a basic operation for secure digital voice. Communication must be encrypted from end to end not decrypted and recrypted at the server. This also should be supported by major phone platforms such as android, blackberry, and iphone. Or at least android. Does anyone know of such a beast? A search for android security apps gives no gpg, no secure im, no secure voip, no tor, no truecrypt like plausible deniability whole os encryption, no stenography, just lists of anti-virus and password vaults. Where is the real mobile security?

Actually no. the shit in their own backyard. Which according to my father, when I was going up, you just don't do if you have a brain larger than a BB.
Speaking of BBs'. If you shoved the collective brains of all the Canonical Execs up a gnats ass they would look like a BB in a boxcar.
Seriously. I laughed my ass off when they made the Unity joke, alienated 80 - 90 percent of the Gnome users and sent them packing while the KDE users laughed themselves senseless. Well, who's laughing now? LOL. All the Mint users (or users that saw what was coming and bailed on *buntu) because now Canonical just pissed in the cereal bowl of all the KDE users as well.
To be honest. I'm starting to get the feeling somebody at Canonical is wanting to get into Politics. I have ever only seen Politicians make such idiotic and incompetent decisions. Thank god I abandoned ship when I heard about the Unity move.
