Apple Helps Chinese Government Censor Apps
Authored by: Anonymous on Saturday, August 04 2012 @ 08:42 PM EDT

Apple Rejects NTD's iPad App, for China App Store

Apple does it again, helping the China's Communist regime censor information in China... and its done it before with Dalai Lama apps and pretty much any other app critical of China's one-party system.

Whoops - it has come out that the timekeeper for the event was a 15 year old British volunteer
Authored by: Anonymous on Saturday, August 04 2012 @ 09:00 PM EDT
In the women’s fencing epee semifinal match between Britta Heidemann of Germany and Shin A Lam of South Korea, Lam led with one second left on the clock. All she had to do was not be touched in that one second and she would be advancing to the gold medal match.

Unfortunately for Shin, the clock never started after the referee signaled to restart the match, giving Heidemann more than one second to land the winning touch.

CNet is reporting someone has hacked the Reuters tech account to change the name to Reuters ME and post pro-Syrian tweets.

Is Elsevier charging authors to make items "Open Access", then charging to read them?
Authored by: Anonymous on Sunday, August 05 2012 @ 07:50 PM EDT
[This is a long post – in summary Elsevier breach licences and charge readers for Open Access.

I also ask the world to verify and amplify my conclusions].

Obama app is creepy says biased article
Authored by: Anonymous on Sunday, August 05 2012 @ 09:07 PM EDT
link

"Curious how many Democrats live on your block? Just download the Obama campaign's new mobile app".

"I do think it's something useful for them, but it's also creepy"

"Well, I just don't get all this new stuff with computers and apps. That's probably more creepy to me"

"'Much of our feelings around privacy are driven by what you might call status-quo-ism,` [Jonathan Zittrain] said, so many people may feel that the app is creepy simply because it represents something new."
--
As far as I can make out the app allows volunteers to sign-up and locate one another. I'm curious if Jonathan Zittrain volunteered the creepy comment or was he helpfully encouraged with a leading question?

Green telephone icons
Authored by: Anonymous on Tuesday, August 07 2012 @ 04:56 AM EDT
The 'Apple invented green telephone icon' rubbish has even more providence that
PJ points out.

Look at Nokia phones prior to the first Apple phone. (7110, 2110, 9000) The
phone dial button has a picture of a green phone. What about the Sony Ericsson
T68. Dial button has ....a...wait for it...green phone.And a Motorola V360.
Guess what? Green phone button.
