Its sad it took this long in the posts to see exactly what I was thinking. I mean seriously in a situation like this I have more faith in Google being able to restore the data then if it were me and my own mail server. Its cloud fail when they don't get the data back not when its lost and they are working on the solution.

I had this very same problem with my Nexus One. Even worse rebooting did not always solve the issue.

I bought my Nexus at launch and while I was happy with it at first, the past few months it just started acting crazy. Icons on the desktop would open a different application, the issue from the article, the keyboard opening when a phone call was coming in "you couldnt slide to answer because it was ontop".

After all that and more, once the lock button on my Nexus started to give out I just went back to my iPhone.

New Hungarian Government OMGs All Gov Sites 59

An anonymous reader writes "The new Hungarian government chose to replace the home pages with a 'disclaimer' page on several governmental websites such as ministries or the Foreign Office. The title and the main message is 'OMG,' which is followed by an explanation that the inherited websites 'lack any kind of uniform structure' and this is 'unworthy of Hungary.' Today is the takeover day in most ministries for the new administration."

32bits doesn't automatically mean the data in the file represents linear light pixel data. I could write a png file with the data in log colorspace if I wanted to, shouldn't but I could if I wanted to. Same goes for writing data to an OpenEXR file.

Image file formats are containers of data and as Bill posted in a previous thread more often then not the colorspace encoding in files is either read wrong or ignored in the various graphics applications. And don't even get started with Apple applications doing 1.8 gamma encoding.

Sony May Charge For PlayStation Network 212

from the i'm-sure-that-will-be-popular dept.
In an interview with IGN, Sony's VP of marketing, Peter Dille, responded to a question about the PlayStation Network by saying that the company is considering charging for the service. He said, "It's been our philosophy not to charge for it from launch up until now, but Kaz recently went on the record as saying that's something we're looking at. I can confirm that as well. That's something that we're actively thinking about. What's the best way to approach that if we were to do that? You know, no announcements at this point in time, but it's something we're thinking about." This follows news of a customer survey from last month that listed possibilities for subscription-based PSN features.

Seinfeld's Good Samaritan Law Now Reality? 735

e3m4n writes "The fictitious 'good samaritan' law from the final episode of Seinfeld (the one that landed them in jail for a year) appears to be headed toward reality for California residents after the house passed this bill. There are some differences, such as direct action is not required, but the concept of guilt by association for not doing the right thing is still on the face of the bill."

I know one thing that is open, I can buy a multitude of phone types from different manufacturers.

Appstore purchases are transferable to another device, save for the other device running a version of the Android operating system the application in question supports.

The appstore while currently not having as many applications as Apples, does include many that Apple would simply never allow to be sold.

You don't have to be a fanboy to see that in certain aspects the Android is more of an "open" platform.

Be frank and explicit with your lawyer ... it is his business to confuse the issue afterwards.
