 Essentially Verizon changed their start page.  I wonder how they do (will
 do?) this on android phones since there are half a dozen browsers out
 there.

 Plus on the Android OS written by Google one would think it would be hard.

[CGUYS] Will Adobe Eclipse Microsoft?

2010-01-15 Thread tjpa

http://rcpmag.com/articles/2010/01/13/adobe-eclipsing-microsoft-as-patch-concern.aspx

After a solid year of security issues, Adobe's product security and  
secure product development practices are being seriously questioned,  
said Andrew Storms, director of security at nCircle. It's ironic to  
consider that we may have reached the point where Microsoft Office  
documents are now more secure than [Adobe] PDF documents.

[CGUYS] Better than a UPS

Panasonic’s new home battery could store a week’s-worth of electricity
http://green.venturebeat.com/2009/12/24/panasonics-new-home-battery-could-store-a-weeks-worth-of-electricity/

This is significant for two reasons. First, if home batteries like  
this one become commonplace, renewable sources of energy like rooftop  
solar and residential turbines could finally take off. The biggest  
roadblock to their adoption is that they are intermittent; reliable  
storage is needed to make them effective. Second, if affordable  
storage is achieved on the home-level, there might be less need for  
grid-scale storage, which is pricier and harder to accomplish.
