In the world of real business, just saying the word "encryption" is meaningless. The standards that need to be met are summed up easily, called "PCI compliance".

Sadly, most any cloud from any company does not meet most PCI or SAS70 requirements. Until it does, cloud is for mom and pop shops.

What??? How should your email platform have much impact on you PCI compliance?

Rule number 1: DO NOT EMAIL CREDIT CARD NUMBERS. Instant dismissal.

All email platforms are covered. Seriously, never send them over email. Ever. There is never a situation where you should send an unencrypted credit card number over email.

Ok I just posted below a similar question, and checking out wikipedia seems to imply that they work with ISO:

The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) develops and promotes Internet standards, cooperating closely with the W3C and ISO/IEC standards bodies and dealing in particular with standards of the TCP/IP and Internet protocol suite.

So is this ment to bypass the ISO standardisation, and get it put straight in an ISO standard? That's a pretty imaginative way to play the game, kudos to them.

In a way, they did submit it to ISO, just a small board but one that control everything that Google cares about.

Since you seem to be still trolling, can you give us a reason why someone should be able to have absolute control over their likeness?
Are you saying that satire should be illegal, or impersonation artists? Down with SNL! Elvis impersonators are evil!

You do not have absolute control over your likeness, and never had.

Did you just compare making a doll in the likeness of someone to burglary?

Being burgled deprives you of of items you previously had. Having a doll being made of you means you lost... oh yeah nothing because Apple don't make Jobs action figures. How are the two even remotely comparable?

Or are you of the opinion that if I walk down the street and someone take a photo of the street, which you happen to be in, then you should be compensated for making up part the street scene?

Super Mario Bros Wii, is REALLY annoying as a co-op. Did they seriously have to make it so that people can keep jumping on your head killing you by throwing you down the hole?

I was going to be the only person who was going to make it as I jumped last, closer to the edge of the platform. All those other suckers are going to drop down the hole. Wait? Did they just bounce off my head???

RAGE!

I cannot agree more. Resistance was how I got my wife playing FPS' as a co-op, so I picked up Resistance 2 and just found some crappy deathmatch thing thrown in. I have actually never played the game because of the level of disappointment I feel towards it.

It helped that it was also an awesome game.

Ok, I hadn't really looked in to this before. It seems like the Netflix app is an x86 compiled apk so it will not run on ARM. But if they ever get that compatibility layer for Ubuntu running, it would give you Netflix on Linux ;)

XDA already ripped the app from the Google TV. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=812601&page=6

Netflix runs on the Google TV... http://blog.netflix.com/2010/10/netflix-on-google-tv.html
Google TV runs on Android... http://code.google.com/tv/web/faq.html
Thus Netflix runs on Android. I don't really know much about the whole pkg infrastructure, is the Android VM still close enough to Java for the write once run anywhere?
