A simple, uncomplicated campaign we can rally behind. And it's not the first time we've had a puppet as President.

If you're mad at Carrier IQ, then you are doing exactly what the carriers want you to.

The surprising thing is that the ire has been directed at Carrier IQ themselves. Why? If someone runs you over in their car, you don't write a stern letter to Ford. Carrier IQ made and sold an invasive piece of software, certainly. But they didn't install it on your phone. Sprint [and AT&T] did. Full Story

So, we've waited for years for IBM to update Domino's SSL/TLS implementation. There have been other ideas on this expressed.

Now, it seems that the implementation is vulnerable... and since we don't have current TLS options, we have no native Domino solution. It realllly looks like neglect, but perhaps there's a better expression.

Update: John James has something useful to say about the SSL/TLS vulnerability here.

For you folks in Irene's path, I certainly "feel your pain". Yep, that lil red dot was me in 2008 when Gustav hit. In the northeastern quadrant of the storm (always the worst part of the storm).
I was a bit further away from Ike (2008), Katrina, and Rita( 2005), so all we got then was heavy rain & moderate winds.

The best thing to do in a hurricane is NOT be in its path. You can always rebuild a building, but people ... not so much. That's one reason I like hurricanes better than earthquakes, tornados, etc. You can see them and get the $*$)# away. I urge you to do so. Follow Monty Python's advice and run away.

Hurricane Gustav, 2008

From AndroidCentral.com:

A video walkthrough of the unholy marriage of BlackBerry and Android
BlackBerry fans everywhere were astonished Thursday when an early version of the Android Player for the PlayBook leaked out and their little tablets suddenly became usable. Usable as in once you've got Android running on the PlayBook, you suddenly have an e-mail app. Craziness!

Pretty cool stuff, especially since it's running Android 2.3.3, and there's a good chance your phone doesn't even that yet. Glad we could help you out there, RIM.

This is a simple little tip, but since it's a new(erish) thing, I thought I'd post on it.

Problem: I have two emails I want to have open at the same time so I can compare or work with them.

---

Solution:

Find the first email in whatever folder it might be, and right click on it. Choose "Open in New Window"

---

Find the second email in whatever folder it might be, and right click on it. Choose "Open in New Window"

---

You now have each email opened in it's own window. Feel free to arrange them any way you choose:

Google translate (http://translate.google.com ) is pretty spiffy, and they have added the ability to translate from English to/from Latin.

Do you see something fishy in their translation?

Seems like a topical thing to vote on.

What? You thought "insane" only applied to the greatness of their products?

(Reuters) -...In line with its infamous philosophy of maintaining absolute control over its products, sources said U.S. Apple stores are replacing screws on iPhone 4s brought for servicing with tamper-proof screws to prevent anyone else from opening the device.

Kyle Wiens, chief executive of iFixit, a prominent Apple repair and parts supplier, said the purpose of the new screws is to keep people out of the iPhone and prevent them from replacing the battery. He said he noticed in November that screws were being switched.

It's kinda always fun to see who gets it right(erish).

Detailing the expected hardware changes for the iPad and iPhone
The latest batch of rumors about the hardware architecture of Apple's next-generation devices is coming fast and furious. So far, they suggest that Apple is moving to Qualcomm baseband radios, beefing up the GPU with the latest designs from Imagination Technologies, doubling the CPU cores, and giving the iPad the higher-resolution display it so richly deserves.

There's a lot to take in, so we decided to take a look at these rumors with an eye on what we expect to see announced this year.

I've been thinking (and praying) a lot lately about (and for) the folks in Tuscon. And then the blame game that ensued, well, that's made me almost as sick as the actual event. Beyond Tuscon, there's been a lot of other violence and tragedy and more tragedy happening.

Take a couple of minutes and watch this NASA video. It's worth it. What we say about each other, and how we treat each other one-on-one, on the interwebs, and everywhere is important. What we say has impact. What we do has impact. I'll steal a quote: Treat each day as if it were on purpose.

Ever been pouring creamer into your coffee and think to yourself, "Wonder if this would burn?". Perhaps not. But here's what happens when you take 500 pounds of coffee creamer + oxygen + flame and see what happens. I saw the whole episode the other day and just laughed. Mythbusters just plays on that part of me that never grew up.

You, know, I can't even think of a pithy (printable) comment for this.

"The combination of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit brand with the amazing 3D capabilities of Sony's network-enabled devices makes for a great consumer entertainment experience," Tim Schaaff, Sony Network Entertainment President

Please feel free to frame the joke most appropriate for your mood. Here's the whole article, and a link to it:

Sony, Sports Illustrated Bring Swimsuit Issue to 3D TVs
By: Leslie Horn | 01.07.2011

While 3D TVs haven't exactly gone mainstream, fans of Sports Illustrated's annual swimsuit edition might want to think about investing in one. Sony has signed a deal with the magazine to bring the 2011 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue to the PlayStation Network in February, the companies announced Wednesday..

"Just when you think the bar couldn't get any higher for the Swimsuit franchise, we've raised it once again with our partners at Sony," Mark Ford, president of the Sports Illustrated group, said in a statement. "Swimsuit in 3D has extraordinary potential and we're thrilled to deliver its millions of fans a new perspective through the exciting world of 3D video.

"When the magazine hits newsstands on Feb. 15, both 3D and 2D video content will be available to rent or buy via the PlayStation Network video-delivery service on PS3 consoles. It will also be accessible via Sony's Qriocity streaming-video service and on 3D-enabled Bravia HDTVs and Blu-ray players.

"The combination of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit brand with the amazing 3D capabilities of Sony's network-enabled devices makes for a great consumer entertainment experience," Tim Schaaff, Sony Network Entertainment President, said. "We strive to deliver unique content to our users, and are delighted to offer this first-of-its-kind high definition 3D Swimsuit video."

Will this energize 3D TV sales for Sony? According to Nielsen's State of the Media 2010 report, the future of the 3D looks dismal. The study said only two percent of consumers own a 3D set and only three percent "definitely" plan to buy one in the next 12 months.

Just found this interesting....

Q: What does "A&M" stand for?
A: Texas A&M, the state's first public institution of higher education, was opened on Oct. 4, 1876 as the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas, and at that time the "A" and "M" initials were used to abbreviate the name components. When the institution gained university status in 1963, the "A&M" representation (no periods, no spaces and with an ampersand) was incorporated into the official name in deference to the institution's history and rich traditions, but the individual letters no longer explicitly stand for anything.

Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College, most often referred to as Louisiana State University, or LSU, is a public coeducational university located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The University was founded in 1853 in what is now known as Pineville, Louisiana, under the name Louisiana State Seminary of Learning & Military Academy. The current LSU main campus was dedicated in 1926, and consists of more than 250 buildings constructed in the style of Italian Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio, and occupies a 650-acre plateau on the banks of the Mississippi River.

My favorite Verizon commercial at the moment (features Droid X and [American] football)
