Regardless of the rape charges, This would be a big violation of international law regardless of what the national law might be. They can't just storm an embassy. They might close it, but as have been said they have to give enough time for staff to leave. Although he really should answer and defend himself. Storming an embassy is the last thing needed here, it would set an horrible precedent. I am sure Ecuador could perhaps work out someway to have him in equador after the interrogation if no charges pressed or having him there after sentence is carried.

If you pay for Google apps they do offer phone support. However you would need to have the support pins which you can only get by logging in your account. There is no way to access support without those pins at all.

No clippy, no thanks.

Hotmail's default isn't SSL as far i know, and their chat service isn't ssl or encrypted or even able to run encrypted ( unlike google's chat/XMPP). So it isn't exactly safe, not long ago someone was trying an dictionary attack of some sort for days on my MSN messenger account as it prevented me from logging in due to "too many password attempts" . ( when i had not been the one doing those attempts.)

I don't think that is weird at all in Slashdot

As far i know ( i live in Portugal ) other than this being old news, it was rejected by all other parties other than the one attempting to get this passed and was rather laughed about because of it here.

Is it just me, but it doesn't include private messages? or is it because there were none?

There is no good antivirus for android, maybe you could mod a linux one. But still it would take long way until it could be used. Big Problem here is the android Market being open, it should at the very least search in applications for malware patterns on the applications uploaded and put them to manual review or something.
