On that note: the EMPIRE STRIKES BACK! ~ On the heels of Microsoft's Bing, the Internet giant develops a computer operating system. | Forbes http://www.forbes.com/2009...
James, Kol Tregaskes and Anne Bouey liked this
Google says it will develop a computer operating system. The product isn't due out for a year, so there's not much to say about its technical worth, other than it will be based on the popular open-source Linux system. The Internet giant's action, however, tells us much about the current competitive environment on the Internet. It also indicates that both Google ( GOOG - news - people ) and Microsoft ( MSFT - news - people ) have shifted their competitive game from "out-innovating the other" to include "hurting the other guy's business." Google says it is building the operating system that to be open source and designed for cheap, lightweight netbook computers. Most of those machines now use Microsoft's Windows XP system, despite early efforts to get Linux on netbooks. Google's Android OS, built originally for phones but intended to migrate to other devices as well, has had little traction on netbooks. It will, Google says, run on both Intel ( INTC - news - people )-type semiconductors...

Christians sue for right to burn gay teen novel - http://www.examiner.com/x-10853...
Eric P and Andy Dustman liked this
"A group of Wisconsin Christians filed a lawsuit seeking the right to burn a gay teen novel. The group claimed the novel is "explicitly vulgar, and anti-Christian". The novel in question is Francesca Lia Block's Baby Be-Bop, a young adult novel in which a boy, struggling with his homosexuality, is beaten up by a homophobic gang. According to the American Library Association the complaint also demands $120,000 in compensatory damages. The complaint has been lodged by a group identified as the Christian Civil Liberties Union. Their suit claims that "the plaintiffs, all of whom are elderly, claim their mental and emotional well-being was damaged by this book at the library."

" There can be little doubt that the provision of an effective and free service for BitTorrent anonymity would prove hugely popular. Today we bring you a detailed report on BitBlinder - a brand new open source project which promises to cloak your torrents, hide your browsing and get round many obstructive filters. A question which regularly pops up in the our mailbox is “How do hide myself online? How can I get free anonymous BitTorrent?” Our answer is usually something along the lines of “Free anonymous BitTorrent isn’t really a reality right now. You could use TOR but please, please don’t. It’s slow and really, the people who run TOR do not want it flooded with torrent traffic. Your best option is to use a VPN service, but this will cost you a few bucks.” Maybe, just maybe, in future our answers will be different. Allow us to introduce BitBlinder, a new and free cross-platform (Mac support coming soon) open source project which not only claims to make anonymous BitTorrent transfers...

Doesn't accept new users right now. But if it's open source under a free license, what prevents someone else from setting it up to work from somewhere else? If it remains a singular service not many will find & use it - and the community won't grow either. Closing the doors because it's getting popular is _not_ the right path to take IMHO if they want to grow this.

"Color offers an instantaneous method for conveying meaning and messaged in your logo designs. It’s probably the most powerful non-verbal form of communication we can use as designers. Our minds are programed to respond to color. The subliminal messages we get from color shape our thoughts. As humans our very survival is hung on the identification of color. We stop our cars for red lights and go on green, we look at the color of certain plants and animals to determine whether or not they are safe for us to eat or touch, the bottom line is that color is a very important part of our daily lives. It’s import for us as designers to use color appropriately and understand the meaning behind the colors we choose. Red Action, Adventure, Aggressive, Blood, Danger, Drive, Energy, Excitement, Love, Passion, Strength and Vigor Red is an intense color. It can summon conflicting emotions from blood and warfare to love and passion. It is often used in logo design to grip the viewers attention and has been known to raise ones blood pressure or make people hungry."

"TEHRAN, Iran (CNN) -- President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was leading in early results from Iran's presidential election Friday, the election chief said. With almost 20 percent of ballots counted, Election Commission Chief Kamran Daneshjoo said Ahmadinejad was leading with 69 percent of the vote. Daneshjoo said Ahmadinejad's chief rival, reformist candidate Mir Hossain Moussavi, had 28 percent. Both candidates were claiming victory. Moussavi's campaign caught fire in recent days, triggering massive street rallies in Tehran. It was thought heavy voter turnout Friday could help him. Voters crowded the steps of one polling place in Tehran, some waiting more than three hours underneath the hot sun to cast their ballots. Some were lining up before the polls opened at 8 a.m. Moussavi's main rival is Ahmadinejad, blamed by many Iranians for the nation's four-year economic turmoil and known in the West for his vehement rhetoric regarding Iran's nuclear program and condemnation of Israel.

Apple’s iPhone Security Gets Better, But Still Not BlackBerry Strong - http://www.wired.com/gadgetl...
"In a bid to attract more business users to the iPhone, Apple introduced several security enhancements on Monday for its popular handset. However, there are still a number of weaknesses that need addressing before the company can climb into the business market.

Additionally, a new tool called “Find My iPhone” will enable users to view the location of their lost or stolen iPhone on a map. Third, for the next-generation iPhone 3GS, Apple implemented encryption to prevent thieves from retrieving confidential, sensitive information. While these new features do increase security, they still fall short of Research In Motion’s BlackBerry, said Jonathan Zdziarski, forensics expert and author of the book iPhone Forensics: Recovering Evidence, Personal Data, and Corporate Assets. “I don’t think some of the features were as...

As an ubah cat lover... I shall never stoop to this level of loving my cat. Frankly this is so wrong in so many ways. So the fairnymph freak who thinks this is okay...it's not HUMAN!! this is a fricken CAT!! Let us drink our goats milk and cows milk, that is what our CREATOR intended for HUMANS. For the LOVE!!
- Tracy
Tracy, what? 1st: No creator, 2nd nature intended goat milk for goats, and cow milk for cows, that makes 3rd: "We are the cat who drink milk from a foreign species"... poor cows.

@Ryo, so net:net you're saying we ought to raise women for milk?
- Anthony Citrano
Why oh why has this thread resurfaced?!
- tinypants (Amanda H)
Anthony, it sounds like a nice idea :) But what I wanted to say, as long as you are drinking cow milk, there is no reason to get mad about a cat drinking human milk.

How Apple failed to lay the smackdown on the Palm Pre | iPhone 3GS - just not good enough - http://www.techradar.com/news...

"Apple's latest update for the iPhone drew the mandatory whoops and cheers for the crowd that seemed to not care that Steve Jobs was being replaced by Phil Schiller, and the iPhone 3GS seemed to satisfy their thirst for ever new iPhone innovation. The main thing that Apple surely wanted to do was send a message to the world that the Palm Pre, which launched in the US at the weekend, was not going to be the best device on the market. However, it seems that while the iPhone 3GS is good, it's just not good enough to beat the Palm Pre. The first thing that disappointed was the lack of real innovation. While the iPhone 3.0 OS update was a good move, we saw that months ago. We cooed over the application integration with add-on devices. We aahed at the in-app micro-payments. We gasped (well, sort of were mildly amused) by the MMS and copy and paste. But today, there wasn't anything that made us feel that we've moved into a new age of mobile phone innovation the way we did with the Palm. Most...

"Pre does more ~ But the Palm Pre brings more than that, something that a lot of people think is more important. Its touchscreen is more responsive, and there's no murmurings that the iPhone 3GS has improved on that front. And in terms of functionality on the business front, the Palm Pre Synergy system is one of the best out there, with the ability to sync so much into one contact base....

"The iPhone does have one vital trick up its sleeve in the UK though, and that's the fact it has a release date of 19 June. The Palm Pre might have made it out to the US market, but it hasn't even been whispered as getting a definitive release in the UK, and that's where the iPhone will make its headstart. Well, that's assuming O2 hasn't upset hordes of Apple iPhone fans by locking them...

Also no 3rd party background apps able to run like the Pre or Berry. And ow catching up with the decade you can send picture text messages. OS 3 really just patches weakly over the gaps that have been its shortcomings against other smart phones.
- sofarsoShawn
somehow the 50K pre sales over its launch weekend does not seem to be supporting this, may be next weekend they will sell, i am not yet convinced
- Kiran Patchigolla
The marketing strategy is unparalleled with its "Everything Mac cult like following [http://cultofmac.com/ brought to you by none other than "Wired" who as well have noticed as much] amongst many Apple users. The new features speak to that...the phone is weak.

Hey man, I'm still upgrading. Eff it.
- Mike Nayyar
the lack of video recording in the Pre is almost a deal breaker for me. I was able to play with one over the weekend and I *loved* it. especially when the salesperson told me it supports microSD. sadly it doesn't, or else I'd have been sold.
- chrisofspades
Really? No V recording at all? That'd be a deal breaker for me too. Never checked one out TBH.
- sofarsoShawn
none yet, although they claim they can push that through via an update.

I'll buy a Pre if it's priced less than the iP in India (even if only by a few hundred rupees)

Twitter to roll out 'Verified Accounts' this summer - http://news.cnet.com/8301-10...

"Following the filing of a lawsuit by St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa over fake tweets made in his name, Twitter co-founder Biz Stone has taken to the company blog to respond to the suit and detail Twitter's future plans to combat false accounts. "With due respect to the man and his notable work, Mr. La Russa's lawsuit was an unnecessary waste of judicial resources bordering on frivolous, " Stone wrote in a post that went up Saturday. "Twitter's Terms of Service are fair and we believe will be upheld in a court that will ultimately dismiss Mr. La Russa's lawsuit." Stone reiterated that the microblogging company suspends, deletes, or transfers control of accounts known to be started by impersonators. He said such action was taken in La Russa's case, and also called untrue reports that Twitter has settled the suit."

" Nonetheless, Stone said the company recognizes an opportunity to improve its customer service, and will experiment starting this summer with a beta preview of a feature, rumored for some time, called "Verified Accounts." These accounts will feature a special seal indicating that they belong to the person (or persons) they say they belong to. The experiment will begin with "public...
