not that he was likely to go without making a ton of derogatory remarks about the livav split.

and if he never liked the leadership role as he claims, he was given ample opportunities to get rid of it.

the Pebble does not use e-ink, they use Sharp's "Memory LCD" technology which is a low power black and white LCD.

see my other comment, you can get the Imagination driver source code under NDA

we worked with TI OMAP3 and 4 and we had the full source code of the driver stack, it was available under NDA. I am sure Apple has access to the same

hopefully TI still has enough OMAP3 chips in stock since they shut down the whole OMAP division last year...

sources close to Google that cannot be named confirm that e.g. Samsung or HTC paid nothing to Microsoft. or rather got all license fees back in terms of Windows Phone marketing kickbacks

Looking into it. I understand there might be legal issues around Airplay and that Google did something to Chromecast to disallow "unofficial" use cases :(

Archos developer here, glad that you like the app :)

and these people are not able to copy/steal the needed driver binary from one of these phones?

One can always go with the Chinese SoC vendors :)

there was also the choice not to commit to this SoC unless Qualcomm agrees in writing that Google is allowed to publish factory images and binaries

the ones that buy Qualcomm chips off the black market?

I was referring to both, Megaupload and their customers. The customers could have read the ToS that contained no garantees whatsoever that their data would be "safe" in any wax. And for Megaupload using a 3rd party to provide most of their business, it's the same more or less.

that's what you get when you store data "in the cloud"...

Firefox supports H.264 on Linux via the Flash plugin

what happened to doing one thing and doing that well? what is next, office documents?

it has an LTE baseband chip but no amplifiers for the LTE frequency bands, no matching antenna and no LTE royalties paid.

Well, Google even decided to bundle Flash into Chrome, so Flash is far from just being a "fallback" solution to them.

gstreamer itself will use libavcodec

A problem for Microsoft? or one by Microsoft? Yes, sure it's caused by Microsoft, but it has to be fixed on the LibreOffice side, since I am sure Microsoft won't do anything about it.

it does not give Fedora "control over the whole process". It's not only the bootloader that is signed, it's also kernel and modules. And if any of these is compromised, M$ can see that as a threat to a Windows installation on the same PC and revoke the "Fedora" keys. Not that M$ would have any incentive to do such a thing ever....

Does it import Microsoft document formats 100% better? That' the biggest issue that Open/LibreOffice has and until that one is solved for good, the rest does not matter much...

EDIT: not wanting to contribute further to the fall of HN, I edited M$ into Microsoft

From what I read, it partly is a google wave clone...

but that does not help if the customer buys a 2nd 5$ charger and uses that e.g. at work. Then the touchscreen will behave less good and the customer will blame Apple...

Long term, Comcast wants to convert the average 100$/month HD package into a 100$/month data usage bill...

If you are an ARM shareholder

Minor nit: The Archos mp3 players required no desktop software at all, they appeared as a USB mass storage device and you could just copy your files over - for me still the preferred way over any other "music sync" solution...

All negative effects on media industry revenues are always due to piracy!

I am aware that it would be more complicated, but not impossible. I guess for the time being the percentage of blocked ads is still small, but once it gets significant websites and ad providers will take the next step in the arms race

Pardon my ignorance, but what would prevent ad-serving websites from totally "inlining" the ads inside their own website html/css/js/? They could even render ads as fonts and vectors graphics, how would an ad-blocker tell that apart from the content part of the web page?
