In general I have to say that flash on android is no better than flash on windows or 32bit linux. The same problems exist on all platforms that I have used with 10.1. I do however wish that adobe would see these issues and identify some bugs and fix them.. constantly they get a bad rap and do nothing about it.. For that reason alone I am a big fan of banning flash despite believing that the concept could be good..

It all comes down to Greed and apple is supreme at being greedy. The next product they release will be call the iBrainWash which will be a ipad for the brain rather than Fanboi irrationality. The brainwash will come with a supreme leader who will be called Mao ZeJobs who will force everyone to wear their loyal iSuits while using their iBrainwash and thinking everything is good as the money evaporates from their pockets and their liberties are taken away if they don't suit the overlords 'bigger picture'...

Apple knows that they can't compete or provide a good enough advertising platform in the mobile space so they make sure nobody else can compete.. if here is no competition they MUST be best right?

It sounds to me like people just want to get some more money... however the only people who will win this lawsuit are the lawyers..

Firefox has its principal selling point of extensions/addons. The key here is that the browser should be light and fast... want more features add extensions.. It's simple that way people can have the features they want and hopefully there should be competition between extension creators etc to provide alternatives to what features people want. The key negative points that I would like to raise with Firefox.
- Instability.. In the early 1.x days I rarely ever had a crash with Firefox. Now on 3.x I am regularly having crashes.. Fix the stability. Often the browser doesn't crash it just hangs spinning CPU which means there is no crash dump to send in when I kill it.
- Instability.. Ohh I may have mentioned that.
- Performance.. More needs to be done in this area. Startup times need to be cut in half and rendering/javascript performance needs to be heavily improved.
- Move features out of the core product and into extensions, with an easy option to install them.

So basically what they are saying is that you will get a more accurate view of history and science from Foxnews?

I hope that apple will lose this battle if only to force them to pay license fee's for tech. They so often expect to walk over people due to their size and the little guys tend to loose thanks to a heavily bias legal system which requires large sums of money to fight your corner.

Over recent weeks we are seeing more and more about how people within the 'bing' team are all talking about how 'we' are all trying to get along and live along side google... The reality seems to be very very different if you talk to the other microsoft divisions.. If you take all of Steve Balmers comments about wanting to 'kill google' and 'bing will take over' there seems to be a big change in the reality.. I suspect that its all part of the 'poor microsoft story' that's focused on making them out to be the poor underdog when in reality they are investing billions in taking peoples choice away by creating agreements with carriers etc to either include only bing or do other 'techniques' to try and artificially win search transactions and therefore advertising revenue.

I'm not saying that Google does not pay for people to use their search, there are agreements for revenue sharing etc the key is that googles services for the most part are soo good that people want to use them.. bing still has a long way to go despite being an improvement over 'live' search crap.

Hi There,

I know its not the cheapest solution around but we use Fortinet Firewalls with their IPS feature. There is a signature for brute force SSH attacks. It works really well. We have seen a 96% drop in SSH connections since installing these devices in front of our servers. So far we have had no reported false positive issues. Coupling that with all the other signatures in the IPS database and we have a huge drop in attacks overall.

This is an interesting lawsuit for a few different reasons. Firstly I am not sure if it was absolutely the first phone but it must have been pretty close to it but both Nokia and Sony Ericsson have had touch screen devices where you could move objects around and resize them etc using touch back before 2004. I believe that Nokias first touch screen was the 7710. Any sony had the p Series around the same time. On the Sony Ericsson side there was the P800 which was revolutionary at the time. In fact if you actually look at many of the elements of the P800/UIQ interface you can see that there is a major similarity between those of 2002 and the iphone of 2007. So I take it from that what apple actually has patents on is the thumb? I'm pretty sure there is prior art to that too.. depending if your a creationist or a evolutionist maybe the chimpanzee has some patents..

If we outline the patents what's explained in this patent 7,469,381 is something that you could do on the UIQ's back in 2002...

It's interesting that there are some more points relating to the Windows Mobile phones that they create as well...

Hi,

Many users who have come from Windows find KDE not to hard to learn. I have moved my mum and relatives over to KDE based systems and they are very happy with it. So far they are only on 3.5 but they find it nice and easy to use. I need to push one of them to 4.x at some point to see how well they handle it. Since moving them to Linux/KDE (on Kubuntu) they have called me for support only once.. rather than every few weeks with windows.
