Everyone with firefox/having trouble viewing the video: Click "back to stories" in the linked article, then the video should be in the video list.

Come to think of it, if I had to potentially secure my laptop from border officials' prying, in addition to the encryption of drives and whatnot, why not just set up your laptop to boot to a command prompt in Linux. Log in with an account with no sudo priveleges and let them go wild. Chances are they won't even know what to do.

It would seem that they're not sharing your browsing history with anyone (currently), and they say in their privacy policy that they plan to notify all users before any possible sharing of information (e.g., company is bought outright). You can also supposedly delete your browsing history with them. In addition, you can pause the "game" at any time and it'll stop logging. It also doesn't log https.

Regardless, not my cup of tea.

Below is a sponsored widget from Microsoft.

What widget? I see nothing. And the words sponsored and Microsoft in the same sentence?

This is incredible. I must have one.

Until Rogers cleans up their act, their traffic-shaping of ALL encrypted packets made me switch to teksavvy (www.teksavvy.com). $30/mo buys me 200GB Cap (combined up and down), 5M/800k down/up respectively, no traffic-shaping of any kind or any other service-altering policies.

This is the most fantastic thing I've seen in forever. Do you know what this is from?

Having spent the summer working at Psion Teklogix, I also share the obsession with tiny devices. Weirdly enough, around the office I saw plenty of devices from the early 90's that are no longer manufactured or sold, but a bit of development still occurs on these platforms. One device that looks very similar to that PocketSurfer2, that I was constantly seeing around the office was the NETBOOK PRO. Slightly larger than the PocketSurfer2, and featuring stylus/touch-screen support, qwerty keypad, full color web-browser, 802.11-wireless capable (with expansion cards), all sorts of SD support-- you get the idea. It's amazing how long it takes for technology to hit the commercial market after it's been developed for internal-industry. I wish they'd sell these things commercially, they're freaking amazing.

Aside, I just noticed Psion Teklogix's new cellphone/pda-killer, the so-called iKon was just publicly announced recently. Me want.
