Wal*Mart shutting down DRM server, nuking your music collection - Boing Boing - 0 views

  • we strongly recommend that you back up your songs by burning them to a recordable audio CD
    • Joel Bennett
       
      Is it just me, or does this say: we strongly recommend you circumvent the DRM system if you want to keep your music!
  •  
    This is why any encryption system which depends on phoning home should not be an option when you're considering where to spend your money. Buy CDs, or DRM-Free tracks (which is all that Wal-Mart sells, now).

Creating OpenSearch plugins for Firefox - MDC - 0 views

  • Your server should serve OpenSearch plugins using the MIME type application/opensearchdescription+xml. Be sure that your Search Plugin XML is well formed. You can check by loading the file directly into Firefox. Ampersands in the template URL need to be escaped with & and tags need to be closed with a trailing slash or matching end tag. The xmlns attribute is important, without it you could get an error message indicating that "Firefox could not download the search plugin from: (URL)". Note that you must include a text/html URL — search plugins including only Atom or RSS URL types (which is valid, but Firefox doesn't support) will also generate the "could not download the search plugin" error. Remotely fetched favicons must not be larger than 10KB

  •  
    For searching for huge result sets in AD you need to set a PageSize, or maybe do the paging by hand.

Cool Text: Logo, Graphics, and button generator - 0 views

  • Cool Text is the worlds most popular graphics generator.  Online since 1998, our servers have rendered over 300 million free images.
    • Joel Bennett
       
      Are there any others that have been around this long?
  •  
    Cool Text is a free web-based graphics generator for logos, buttons, and just cool fonts. It's probably the oldest and certainly the only one around with 1200 fonts ;-)

Moving to Symbian S60: One Year Later - 0 views

  • too many ways to develop for Symbian devices: native code, WRT (web run-time) widgets, Java, browser-apps, etc.
    • David Corking
       
      What disadvantage did he find with having choice? Fragmented community, inconsistent UI, difficulty integrating with 3rd party apps, something else?
  • 5-9 clicks just to add a calendar item.
  • disjointed software updating -- which requires a Windows PC in older Nokia devices -- that leaves many North American users without fixes to serious issues for all but the most popular of handsets.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • there really isn't something as stable and capable as the Symbian OS (yet).
  • Check with your home or renter's insurance whether they will or not before purchasing high-end models.
  • Nokia's Symbian devices do not always use the same software as Samsung and LG's Symbian devices.
  • Battery life is better with Nokia E-series devices; much better.
  • This platform is fun, but is in major transition; something like what Palm is going through with Palm OS 5 and webOS.
  • phone as a laptop/MP3 player/GPS/web server replacement
  • definitely had its points where I wanted to turn back to the Palm Treos

Jonathan Schwartz's Blog: Sun's Cloud (4 of 4) - 0 views

  • our sales and partner force has a tenth the resources of our biggest peers.
    • David Corking
       
      Is he talking about IBM, EMC, Microsoft, Oracle, Cisco and SAP? I beat Sun has more pony tails than its peers. I would like to see those numbers.
  • inside Sun, we're just now rolling out a version of OpenOffice extended for the cloud.
    • David Corking
       
      Simple but sweet. I doubt it wil beat Google Docs for attracting collaborating groups, but it might! Corporations may want to do something similar with their private storage. How do they avoid malicious macros propagating from one cloud user to the next?
  • VB users will see a new feature later this year, offering an upload service to those wishing to archive or run multiple OS/application stacks - in Sun's Cloud.
    • David Corking
       
      VB doesn't mean "Visual Basic" any longer. This is clever leverage, I think, and one that will be supported by the open source community, because the cloud specs are open documents.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • Clouds are just as interesting to students and startups as they are to Fortune 500 customers.
    • David Corking
       
      perhaps much more interesting?
  •  
    Inspiring radical vision for open source to win in the long term.
