Certificate is not a single public key but 'chain of trust'. If you get one certificate from a known CA, you should be able to sign more self generated certificates with that.

HTML5 youtube does not work as good as flash(at least on my 1Mbps connection). It stops for buffering for so many times whereas flash runs smoothly.

How can you install a new released version of android on old phone? Android uses different kernel(read device drivers) for each release.
Cupcake: 2.6.27
Donut: 2.6.29
éclair: 2.6.31
Froyo:2.6.32
Google does not write device drivers or port kernel. Google get involved only in reference platform which is required to develop android user space. For rest of devices, kernel porting is mostly driven by OEM(for a particular hardware) and it is done by hardware partners. What is the incentive for OEM to port a new kernel for old hardware which is already in market?

I like the way P4Win GUI works. When user does something, it prints the actual CLI command it is running in lower half of window.

Embedded System on Chip= ARM cores + Peripheral(SDIO, USB, I2C..) Controllers + Video/Audio Decoder + Interrupt Controller + Power Manager Unit Controller + RTC + ...
Most of the SoCs are designed to have different power rails to all ( or few combinations) of these modules. I am not aware of any SoC which keeps ARM core running while playing music when screen is OFF. To serve an interrupt, you don't need to keep ARM running. You can always wakeup ARM core through some custom circuitry and save power.

Indian Police Using Facebook to Catch Scofflaw Drivers 130
New Delhi police have a new weapon in the battle against bad drivers, Facebook. Two months ago the police created a Facebook page that allowed people to inform on others breaking traffic laws, and upload pictures of the violations. The page has more than 17,000 fans, and 3,000 pictures currently. From the article: "The online rap sheet was impressive. There are photos of people on motorcycles without helmets, cars stopped in crosswalks, drivers on cellphones, drivers in the middle of illegal turns and improperly parked vehicles.
Using the pictures, the Delhi Traffic Police have issued 665 tickets, using the license plate numbers shown in the photos to track vehicle owners, said the city’s joint commissioner of traffic, Satyendra Garg."

Why to develop unreliable complex AI? Why not just put a camera and get it remotely driven by a human i.e. driver outsourcing.
