| While I certainly support GPG (PGP) some people may find X.509 certificates
easier to use. With those, your certificate is issued by some agency that can
be traced back to some top level authority. I used to use Thawte, with their
web of trust, but that program was killed after they were bought by VeriSign.
My current certificate comes from Comodo.
They provide free X.509 e-mail certificates, though there are other companies
that have them too. Many companies also use X.509. X.509 is supported by many
(most?) e-mail apps and works well. I also have a GPG installed on my
computers.

| On page 4 of the Extradition Request, the USA states that Snowden, in a
videotaped interview with The Guardian, "admitted that he was the person
who illegally provided the documents to reporters." The
transcript of the interview shows no such admission of illegal
document provision, only document provision. No judge has yet determined the
conclusion his actions were illegal and Snowden did not admit it. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Barnes and Noble CEO Resigns After Tablet Losses
PJ: That
isn't how I view it. I view it that Microsoft is killing off anyone selling
Android/Linux whenever possible, whether by partnerships (Nokia) or investments
or litigation. The Nook was doing great until Microsoft entered the picture by
trying to force Barnes & Noble to pay royalties allegedly owed for running
Linux on the Nook. None of the patents were needed by Barnes & Noble,
according to them, and next thing we hear is Microsoft has settled the case
against it and will invest in Barnes & Noble, and next we see
this.
I see it as Microsoft desperately throwing money around
to try to create an "ecosystem" around their products that other companies won't
do willingly. If Microsoft has to start running book sellers to try make their
own products viable, then they may as well just give up and get out of the
consumer business.
As for Barnes & Noble itself, I don't see them
running their own tablet business as being viable in the long term. They should
be focusing on getting their books on tablets and phones made by other people
such as Samsung. They should focus on providing open choices rather than just
creating yet another walled garden.
