| A new national Amber Alert system has
officially rolled out to millions of cellphones in the U.S., and because the
alerts are automatically active on most newer phones, the messages have already
taken tens of thousands of people by surprise. ---

| BBC So Apple are
down to 43.6%.... It is hard to say which OS is in the lead right now, as not
all are either iOS or Android, but Android and other Linux based tablets would
seem to be at least getting close to 50% market share. M$, predictably, have
sold a few more tablets than they did with the Kin, but remain
insignificant. Interesting times ahead, I think. Linus has got his world
domination that he used to joke about in phones, and now heading for it in
tablets, and no-one even noticed. Supercomputers, servers, routers, NAS boxes,
and gadgets are already utterly dominated by Linux, the only place where the
Monopoly still has a stronghold is in desktops/laptops. But for how long? I
think that the furniture industry in the Pacific Northwest will be seeing a
temporary spike in demand. Not sure what Cook at Apple throws..... [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

| BBC I could add
another reason to why it will happen, which relates directly to bad programming
practices instigated some time ago by a certain person who now poses as a
philanthropist, even less convincingly than he used to pose as a software
expert. Many banks still are using a lot of Windoze..... [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

BBC news <a

French newspaper links dispute</a>
Light on details ...
help to fund 60m euro fund for media {how much of the 60 is google putting up?}
special rate for advertising {but what would a media chain advertise except
itself?}
It would have been more fun if Google had just stopped carrying the links![ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

For the first time, Canada’s food safety regulator is allowing Nova
Scotia salmon infected with a flu-like virus to be processed for supermarkets
and restaurants.
Last week the Canadian Food Inspection Agency declared fit
for human consumption 240,000 Atlantic salmon with infectious salmon anemia — a
disease it says poses no risk to human heath. The ruling is the first time the
CFIA has opted not to destroy fish carrying the virus since it started
regulating the fish farming industry in 2005.
Because the U.S. won’t import
fish with the virus, the fresh whole salmon, fillets and steaks will have to
find dinner plates to land on somewhere in Canada.

Over at MacWorld there is an article about The
little-known Apple Lisa: Five quirks and oddities.
The one that
immediately struck me was the point about Duplicate file names
and how the OS
assigned a physical file name that represented the file on the
disk, and a
virtual file name provided by the user that showed up in the Lisa
interface.
Could this be used as prior art to battle one of
Microsoft's VFAT patents,
specifically the long filename ones?[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
