Google didn't use to make empty promises ! It's the fastest boot of an OS that I ever seen. When it will be available like GA, it will be true, it will rule the world of netbook and only geek people can be confused between Chrome OS and Android. In that case is better that they change their job or talk about soccer !!! The downloading, compiling and all other tasks required nearly 3 hours. I don't have PCs but only Mac, so I decided to use a VM with Ubuntu 9.10 and I builded my Chrome OS on Linux. The docs are not fully useful... I mean that you have to decide something and choose your way but at the end it works. You'll need more time to read and to decide than apply tasks. Don't loose time in creating symbolic links or other similar task, do not pay attention about PATHs or similar, they depend from where the Googler wrote the docs... !!! But the results are great: - a full bootable Chrome OS - a full USB bootable Chrome OS - a full VMWARE bootable Chrome OS (you can generate vmdk... - Renato Gabriele Ucci

First Finland, Now Spain Makes Broadband Access a Legal Right. 3 Comments By Zee on November 19, 2009 Last month we brought you newsof Finland’s intention to make broadband a legal right for its five million population. Now Spain is following suit and from 2011, Telecom companies that are part of Spain’s “universal service” system will have to make broadband available at a “reasonable” price to everyone, including people living in rural parts of the country where it would normally be expensive to do so, Industry Minister Miguel Sebastian said in a statement on Tuesday. Until now, the “universal service” has only guaranteed internet via telephone line, fixed telephone, directory service and telephone booths. Consumer group FACUA said it welcomed that broadband internet would finally be a right but said the speed was insufficient and the measure should be introduced before 2011. Never happy these consumer groups. Tags: Broadband Internet access, finland, Natural and legal rights, Spain... - Renato Gabriele Ucci

Disclosed in a regulatory filing by Sun, the document gives formal voice to the EC’s concerns over the fate of Sun’s open-source MySQL database. From Sun’s filing: On November 9, 2009, the European Commission issued a statement of objections relating to the acquisition of Sun by Oracle Corporation. The Statement of Objections sets out the Commission’s preliminary assessment regarding, and is limited to, the combination of Sun’s open source MySQL database product with Oracle’s enterprise database products and its potential negative effects on competition in the market for database products. The issuing of a Statement of Objections allows addressees to present arguments in response to the... - Renato Gabriele Ucci

How EFF saved Indymedia from an unconstitutional subpoena for all its visitors' IP addresses When the US government demanded the IP address of every visitor to Indymedia's website (and ordered Indymedia to keep the request secret), Indymedia called the Electronic Frontier Foundation. EFF fought the subpoena -- which was grossly unconstitutional -- and won. Here's the story of how it happened, and remember, if you ever get a crazy, unconstitutional request from a G-man, stop and call a lawyer or get in touch with EFF. The government added insult to injury by also inserting this language on the first page of the subpoena: "You are not to disclose the existence of this request unless authorized by the Assistant U.S. Attorney. Any such disclosure would impede the investigation being conducted and thereby interfere with the enforcement of the law." The problem? The law doesn't require the recipient of a federal grand jury subpoena to keep the subpoena secret (which is why, typically,... - Renato Gabriele Ucci
