Indeed, many evil companies are doing similar. For instance, as a GNU/Linux fan, I can see "the pressure" done on some "under the spot" forums related to open source. Moreover there were naughty rumors (in France) about some companies (or their well-known proxies) hiring students on internship-level pay to lobby on those forums. Personnally, I do believe that the reality is way uglier.

That war between google and China is non-sense... it does too much favor a company that sells locked-closed sources operating systems. Fishy. Are they behind all this?

... hundreds of bot nets were created... but they got 1, they are happy.

How much for this regional router? :) I bet diffserv/IPv6 label, then traffic classes, are properly supported. At last death for the POTS? Now: I have roughtly 1Mb/s upload link... with FTTH I will have 50 Mb/s then 200 Mb/s (like in Japan). That means 50 times and then 200 times... :D Who said personal cloud?

If those infos are matched on the "workers" database, ok, if not... 400 millions people data is nothing for a custom made database with modern technologies (i.e. do *not* use an SQL engine).

nvidia is evil since they don't publish their hardware programming manual like AMD(ATI)/Intel. Buy AMD(ATI) or Intel. Avoid like hell nvidia till they release their manuals.

... for instance, those who code systems, or supervise the developement, of all the naugthy and dangerous systems for internet control...

Hu... more than busybox... we want optimal Linux driver code

This not about what people are interested in, it's the fact that *any* hardware device distributed to people should be hackable without having to crack it. It is a matter of digital freedom. The feature should be there by default.

Finally, it's coming through! In the context of replacing totally the services provided by classic telephony, we must set up neutral IP traffic classes (VoIP over mobile radio link do *NOT* work reliably, and won't be after broad adoption of the FTTH). Indeed, the idea is to give priority to voice traffic on client initiative. The *only* allowed exception to this rule would be emergency calls, because that has to be done at the ISP initiative. We can even think of a video stream for emergency calls! With enough good video quality... imagine the amount of people we could additionnally save thanks to the video!!! We already have the terminals able to do so! We need to set up that next gen Internet ASAP!

We should be able to hack the hardware we bought. Locking away users like that is way overboard. I would like to enjoy mario, zelda AND SPACE INVADERS EXTREME 2 on the same device I hack GNU/Linux on without having to crack it.

well... that's unfortunately the way to go...

... some need a very specific context to be able to express their brilliance... it is not enough to just let them "outside". They should check if the context those people are in is proper to maximize their brilliance output. For instance, rights on the code they write is *very* important for ope source software. The Linux community is very strong because coders keep and don't share ligthtly their rigths on the code. It has drawbacks (unable to go to (A)GPLv3 limited by userspace), but it is a very strong protection. If a company could distribute a closed and proprietary version of Linux, they would do it for sure (cf opensolaris/solaris case and darwin/macos case).

Some communities have their own DNS. Indeed, emails can nicely be done only with DNS MX records. Hope google will stick to the current DNS protocol. If they want to extend the protocol... it has to be extremely simple to implement and go throught classic normalization processes.

... oh wait... hackers do install GNU/Linux on their DS!
