Sony Ericsson launches a boot loader unlocking program for their Android phones (and launches the pretty sweet xperia line). And now Ericsson takes a non facist stance on copyrights.
I don't know who kicked some sense into those companies, but whoever it was; thanks!

We've had this as a policy in Sweden for quite some time now. The Swedish police posts all traffic surveillance on their home page in the hope that people will act more responsibly if they know they have an increased risk of getting cought.

No need to export the video feed to them as I just want the 3d video stream for myself and perhaps a few selected friends.
Would be cool to insert avatars from several people there though. A 3d video version of the old MOO concept, or a local second life with a live video background to use a more modern analogy.
Bandwidth will be an issue however.

Am I the only one imagining getting a Kinect or two in every room of their home and then use it to fly through the 3d video feed of their apartment?

Check out cryptome.org. More toned down and to the point and less attention whoring. I've always had more respect for these guys than the WikiLeaks crowd. Then again, WikiLeaks are getting all this attention thanks to the drama antics I despise. Perhaps it's needed in todays media landscape.

I thought it was defined as: DIPLOMACY, n. The patriotic art of lying for one's country.

Maybe we'll soon see the antibiotics of viruses. Now, if we only could get the drugs we're able to make today to those who needed them we would really be making progress.

Does the responsible coder buy his department a cake, a case of beer or is he/she given a stern talking to.
