Comment Re:So it listens all the time... (Score 1) 151

More like "in the cloud LIKE GOOGLE." Google had voice search long before Apple ever did but Apple marketed it better and expanded it to do other things, Google Now expands the existing Android voice search to do other useful things like Siri does such as adding reminders/alarms. It is mostly cloud based voice recognition but you can use it to call people without a data connection though the local voice recognition is much worse and often wants to call the wrong person.

The video only shows it doing hands free voice search when you're already in Google Now which is already possible with any Android 4.2 rom (probably anything >4.0). The voice search only activates when you say the "google" keyword which she says "okay google now..."

The specs look pretty lackluster so I'm confused why they are calling it a "superphone."

Comment SPDY (Score 1) 566

Isn't the HTTP 2.0 spec based on Google's SPDY protocol? It is basically just HTTP 1.1 but with header compression and the ability to either send or hint that extra files will be needed.

Comment Leave it connected to a separate secure network. (Score 1) 284

Either use managed switches to separate the LAN's and lock down the ports to only allow certain mac addresses on the PCS VLAN, or create another LAN with dumb switches. Add a VPN box that is connected to both networks, make it the only allowed method of connecting remotely to the PCS LAN, give the vendor a VPN account, and only enable the account temporarily when it has been approved.

Comment Kill the link (Score 5, Informative) 250

It is very irresponsible to link to a dev branch of firefox without even including instructions on how to set up a separate profile for it. There is a good chance that it will mangle your profile in ways that will be incompatible with the final release or the current release should you choose to go back.
