not unless configured by a really clueless person

I think that is what was being implied by the summary. When I read it, I didn't assume that that was how PHPmyadmin came out of the box. They probably should have used better wording like "nd this application was configured to allow database access without a password", to ensure they got the correct point across.

Surely if you connect a keyboard to a tablet device you just destroyed the entire point of having a tablet. What you want is a lightweight laptop or netbook instead.

Not entirely. I find it beneficial to take notes on the tablet with a stylus for things that don't type out well (workflow diagrams, server layouts) but I like having the option of typing when I want to describe the diagram I just drew.

The thing I don't like about the Zagg keyboards is that they are just a tad too small. I understand that they are trying to fit the form factor of the iPad for creating a nice looking and natural feeling case. So I use the Zagg when I am on the go, but use a standard apple wireless keyboard when I am at my desk. I can't say I have completely switched over to the iPad for productivity apps, though, I prefer a much larger screen for my workspace.

Class-Action Suits Against Carrier IQ Filed

Submitted by adeelarshad82
adeelarshad82 writes "Not surprisingly, the Carrier IQ controversy has resulted in some legal action. Class-action lawsuits have been filed in California and Missouri that accuse Carrier IQ, as well as Samsung and HTC, of violating federal wiretap laws. The California case was filed on behalf of four smartphone users with HTC and Samsung devices and accuses the companies of violating the Federal Wiretap Act, which prohibits the unauthorized interception or illegal use of electronic communications, and California's Unfair Business Practice Act."

The Return of Flight Simulation Games->

Submitted by SharkLaser
SharkLaser writes "Several years have passed without a single good flight simulator. However, Microsoft is now taking in beta applications to their upcoming Flight game, which will be released in summer 2012. On top of that, X-Plane 10 demo is now available for download from their site. Will this be the grand return of good old flight simulation games?"
