What did Alexander Graham bell invent after the telephone ...... the other telephone .......

I am not even going to read the article. It is silly. Want to set up, let say a "clandestine" encrypted network .... easy .... use your iphone thingy and get the "clandestine mexican drug cartel encrypted network app".

I have a freerunner GTA-02 and use it as a daily phone. I have qtmoko V19 in NAND as the stable platform and qtmoko V35 as experimental on SD. I will be buying a GTA-04 board in the new year.

In Australia, this would require a separate court action. It might yet occur.

Why isn't the Apollo 1 fire counted? Whether or not they made it into space, they died during the process of getting there.

Thinking here : Is Canonical approaching an "Ubuntu Market" concept. I can't see why not. Free software (read FREE as in GNU) + any mix of non-free apps. Canonical is already playing with a cloud computing "user space" - how might this evolve and come into play over time. Canonical has a small revenue stream compared to user-base so attaching a user-base in the tablet/smartphone market might just be the catalyst to push the company forward into much higher revenue streams. I think good move for Canonical as a company myself - not unexpected.

What about signing a contract with a record company where they give you an advance to create an album. You have signed away the copyright on a work that you have not yet created. I am sure that Nintendo could use a legal argument such as "using the service was free, but the service was free because of the copyright agreement. The costs of the service were to be recovered by the use of user content. The user agreed to this".

maroons? Have you got State of Origin fever?

It contains - "The matter was settled between Mr Burt and Nintendo last month."

I assume some sort of settlement has been agreed upon.
