don't connect to the playstation network and you won't get the firmware upgrades. they patch a flaw for security reasons and they tell you this if you connect to psn. keep a standalone ps3 and you can mod to your hearts content. this is why i owned 2 xbox 360s

how do you relay sms messages to/from the handset? do you have to setup a gateway with an existing SMS provider?

uh no. dc resident here. you can see the lincoln memorial from the FDR memorial. while this google thing is odd, yes, if you can't find the lincoln memorial while you are standing around confused at the FDR memorial.. you have bigger problems to worry about.

Yes. In fact, if you watched the worldcup on ESPN online you were watching the stream coming from a local server hosted by your ISP.

Although, to be pedantic, not all CDNs host in every ISP's datacenter... only the really rich ones do. Everyone else just uses anycast to reduce latency. A good write up about anycast is here

"Hi I represent Universal, Sony, Virgin, and EMI. We would like all content pulled from iTunes. Thanks"

Don't forget Apple corned the PLAYER market but not the DISTRIBUTION market. Amazon et. al could easily have offerend larger returns compared to Apple for going with MP3 only downloads. Apple decided to get rid of DRM and thus look like a good guy to the rest of the world. Don't get it twisted, Apple did not want to get rid of DRM but they had no choice.

yea but there's only one with your name that looks like you. facial recognition is a BITCH.

uh the rootkit also enables you to break out of the vm. but the problem here is the application inside the vm didn't break out. it has no way of interfacing with the system until the vm creates an interface. so again, you cannot break out of the vm as a developer. there are no magic holes in davlikvm. if you re-read the thread it all started with people saying "omg can we just click and exploit?!" and the answer is no you cannot. you may be able to attack specific devices (again, see sdx-developers).

i do want to thank you for reaffirming my statement. we need to provide the security ourselves and protect our phones.

You're welcome.

Ok as an android developer, you can't break out of the VM. period. that's the whole point of it. this exploit they are talking about is a kernel driver which you would include in a custom rom that you download from, say, sdx-developers (shoutout!). Now once you have a kernel rootkit, well you know the hell that can cause. But let's face it folks, mobile computing is here to stay. This is no different than having a rootkit on your windows box and tethering it through your phone. All the phone company sees are packets. It's also time to realize that our phones are full fledged computers. You gotta protect them.

TIL, don't sign non-competes. Did that once, never again...

They get indicted.

and now you understand why the government bailed out GM.

Could this have anything to do with it?

you're missing the point. i'm saying we're willing to go to cheap labor to make an extra $1.20 per ipad. to answer the OP's question, we're obviously after profit otherwise we'd make electronics here in the states to boost our economy without needing to resort to ACTA

Considering it took deaths at Apple's iPhone manufacturing plant to get a 20% pay raise that caused a 0.7% increase in cost of making the iPad, I would have to answer your question: profits.
