  • Did Solaris ever port to ARM? http://bit.ly/eIGwMh #
  • "Everyone has to believe something. I believe I'll have a million quid." http://goo.gl/QSum9 #templeton #martinrees #joke #satire #
  • @mappingbabel There are several interesting projects in the area for me the question is "who can switch-off the storage" to distinguish them #
  • @mappingbabel Broadly there are 3 answers: 1) the user 2) nobody, it's a anarchic cloud 3) a third party. Longterm I dislike the latter. #
  • @mappingbabel Depends on the use case & threat model, not to mention the planned UX; see also http://bit.ly/hrX4NL http://bit.ly/gNJVLU#
  • @mappingbabel Not to mention any number of "Give us your data we promise not to give it away" third-party-type models. #
  • @mappingbabel Barriers to adoption is a big hurdle. Forcing users into new technology for its own sake, is moreso. Wise to avoid the latter. #
  • @mappingbabel Also I am worried by projects with flashy websites and high buzzword-compliance. 🙂 #
  • @mappingbabel Zactly; It won't shake so much as evolve from underneath. Napster was pressed on the market and died. Bittorrent grew. #
  • @mappingbabel One byline of #themineproject is that we're not trying to push an application, we're trying to launch a phenomenon. #
  • @mappingbabel Don't care who clones it or uses it, so long as the idea comes about in some form. #
  • Oh FFS – am still waiting for a delivery which apparently left Reading depot at 0830 … #
  • @lauraanngill What's the headline of that article please, Laura? I'd like to see if I can find it on the website… #
  • @lauraanngill I wish it were on the @stylistmagazine website. I get asked about this – hiding affairs, etc – flipside of http://goo.gl/NnTu9 #
  • @StylistMagazine Only relevant ref to TigerText I can find is Cosmo; for a reduced threat profile any phone-to-phone app is better than FB #
  • @StylistMagazine …but there's still the potential to recover "deleted" data from the phone, so be aware. #
  • @lauraanngill If @stylistmagazine did that, I think it would provide an amusing theme for my friday @computerworlduk blog post 🙂 #
  • @StylistMagazine – Thanks! It's a good base for discussion of the issues. And if you post the privacy advice, please tweet it! #
  • @JellySouthEast Doorbell just went. New printer arrived. #
  • Was just offered tix to see #Assange this w/e; alas I'd not want to talk #Wikileaks but instead some intrusions I saw in the early 1990s… #
  • RT @WeldPond: Vatican magazine says hackers do God's work! http://goo.gl/IduAA – "joyful application of intelligence to problem solving" #
  • Am plotting friday blogpost for computerworld: "counter-forensics for adulterers and illicit affairs." Need a snappier title. Suggestions? #
  • Put differently: "how to minimise the digital footprints leading into someone else's bedroom" #
  • @isa56k Yes I would. But they'd complain because SMS is push technology. #
  • @siodaNMRC "Sex, Lies and Compact Flash" is funnier, but even less accurate #
  • I suppose "Sex, Lies and Instant Messenger" works, and has a slender usage footprint: http://bit.ly/ghNucq #
