Just wondering? As SSD is better for laptop and travel,
vs laptop HD (as almost every laptop HD I have had ended up
with the "click of death". SSDs not yet any failure, and
easily twice the mileage (so far). Of course, you have to
read the posting way back on Groklaw as to the best way to
set up using your SSD with LINUX.

There are numerous news reports today that ZTE will be selling a new phone early
next year that will use Firefox OS. This was originally announced a couple of
months ago, but is hitting the news again so I assume that ZTE's (or Mozilla's)
PR department has been working their journo rolodex heavily again.
To summarise, Firefox OS is intended for low cost phones and requires fewer
hardware resources than today's smart phones. ZTE will be launching a phone
using Firefox OS, and a number of major wireless carriers around the world have
said they will be selling it.
I wish them the best of luck with it.

Sordid little case unfolding in New Zealand where a candidate for the
Auckland mayoralty in 2010 solicited campaign funds from
Mr Kim Dotcom, then declared the contribution to be anonymous.
Mr Dotcom was upset that the candidate turned out to no longer be
his friend when Dotcom sought assistance after his arrest,
so Dotcom disclosed the contribution. The candidate did not win
the mayoralty, but as the sole member of a minority party props
up the current NZ government.
Dotcom visited the Public Gallery of Parliament in Wellington yesterday,
and held an inpromptu press conference afterwards where he made
some pointed remarks about the ethics of politicians. He is in Wellington
for the Appeal Court hearing of the Crown's appeal against the High
Court's decision in Auckland that Dotcom is entitled to see the evidence
the US Feds have for his extradition.
No links, it's petty politics, and the local media all have different versions.

With this new <a
href="http://in.reuters.com/article/2012/09/18/microsoft-browser-idINL1E8KI
H6320120918">warning </a>, maybe IE's shares will rightfully erode
a bit faster than they have in the past. Using a browser so integrated into the
OS guarantees security problems. It may not have been that big of an issue
10-15 years ago, but the exponentially-increasing complexity of our favorite
megalithic architecture OS makes using IE more dangerous by the hour. The
upside is that the switch is generally one-way; once you try something besides
IE, it's a safe bet that you won't be returning.

Ref
Time for a little rant.
I find it disgusting that the USA
can't stop the Chinese from walking off with
all their tech,
industrial, and military secrets. Why don't they get serious
about it, and take these computers with sensitive data off-
line? Why don't
they ban Windows from serving sensitive
data? It seems to me that they could
cut the data theft in
half overnight by simply taking a few prudent steps. I
think
there should be legislation that the military, military
contractors,
banks, and industries deemed essential to the
economy, etc, immediately take
radical measures to prevent
data loss, even if we have to go back to the days
of the
sneaker-net. I can't believe the threat from China and
others isn't
taken more seriously, as a national priority
one. The Chinese are going to walk
in and take over the
whole world. It is ridiculous that the US Gov response is
to
ask to Chinese to please stop - as if that will have any
impact whatsoever.
That is how China gets ahead. There is no
other path forward for a totalitarian
regime.
Besides China and the theft of data, there is also the
attitude
of looking the other way while criminal gangs are
ransacking billions of
dollars from banks. The magnitude of
the loss is under-reported because banks
do not reveal their
full losses publicly. Why aren't there severe laws to make
banks disclose the full magnitude of their losses and a
central agency where
every attack is registered so that it
can be prevented in the future? These
attacks should be
analyzed as thoroughly as a plane crash is examined by the
FAA and remedial actions taken.
We are all so smart and we have
developed all this
wonderful technology, why can't we control it? One
not-so-
fine day our whole civilization is going to come to a
screeching halt
as it becomes engulfed in a world-wide cyber
war. Such a thing could be avoid
by the measures discussed
above. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) hopes to
improve patent quality by soliciting greater feedback from the general public
about pending patents.
Last year's America Invents Act included a provision
requiring the Patent Office to accept submissions from the general public about
patent validity, especially concerning "prior art"—evidence that the subject of
a particular patent application had been previously invented by someone
else.
In addition to allowing third parties to submit information directly to
patent examiners, the USPTO has also worked with Stack Exchange, the company behind the
popular programming Q&A website Stack
Overflow, to create a new site called Ask Patents. (Stack Exchange is a
syndication partner of Ars Technica.)
