copperred··on YC Open Office Hours for Black and Hispanic Founders
Not white privilege, but profiling of Ahmed.

"It is an example of a white male privilege"

No it is not. You cannot point to poor treatment of one group as evidence of the "privilege" of another group. There are more than two colors of people.

copperred··on Ford seen ditching Microsoft for Blackberry in future cars
QNX has been owned by other companies in the past (e.g. Harman Intl.). There is no reason the believe that it will go anywhere regardless of what happens to BlackBerry. QNX just happens to be operating as a subsidiary of its biggest customer for the time being.
copperred··on IE11 to support WebGL
It would be an interesting project. You should go ahead and test the current implementations! Actually, would you even need webgl to hunt for GLSL exploits?
copperred··on Putin: Russia can't turn over Snowden
The government is not making threats - they are stating their intentions. I find your stance laughable and I don't think it would work once, and certainly not twice.
copperred··on Putin: Russia can't turn over Snowden
You are advocating for arrest first, charge second. You seem to think that keeping the desire to arrest and prosecute Snowden a secret would somehow help the government's position. What kind of precedent would it set if this information was kept secret and folks could then seek asylum citing a presumed yet not stated threat from their government. When asked about it, how should the government respond?

Plus assuming that anyone would actually think that there is no desire to prosecute Snowden is foolish, as would be your suggestion for the government to keep its intentions a secret, especially given the nature of this case.

Why comment on something you can't and haven't seen just to say what you hope it is?
copperred··on RIM promises $10k to devs if BlackBerry 10 app earns $1k
Cut the rope has been on playbook since the beginning of the year.
copperred··on Apple granted 'the mother of all smartphone software patents'
That quote was in reference to the on-screen keyboard, specifically, iirc.
copperred··on RIM announces $518 million loss, 5,000 job cuts, delays BB10 to 2013
Interesting indeed. But BB java is dead and resurrecting it cannot be a good move.

Care to speculate on a reasonable acquisition price? What is RIM worth?

The market is pricing the company with the expectation that the cash will be gone in the future. It sounds like the cash position may start to decrease in the next quarter.

BB6 and later use webkit which is a huge step in the right direction. Judging from the scores on html5test.com, they are taking the browser seriously these days.
copperred··on Pull this up in your Android or iOS browser: Defense
BlackBerry has a solution for this - package this as an app and sell it like any other.
copperred··on Node-canvas. Server side HTML5 canvas implementation in node.js
typeface.js?
copperred··on Node-canvas. Server side HTML5 canvas implementation in node.js
Cool. I've been accomplishing the same thing by using Jaxer in my application and it works pretty well. I have a canvas based drawing app on top of a background image and the composite image can be downloaded by the user. I transfer the drawing to the server side, render, composite, and return the output. Works on IE (with excanvas) as well.

I find it interesting that 5 of the 6 headlines annotated on the graph are for the wrong topic.
copperred··on Today the Dow dropped 1000 points in about ten minutes.
The Dow Jones is made up of only 30 stocks. A $20 move in P&G would have a large instantaneous impact on the index which could then trigger the algorithms to go nuts.
