Can’t we all just get along?
AT&T, have you no shame?
The distinctions being drawn seem bizarre and arbitrary to many customers who argue that data is data—I paid for it and should control what I use it on, not AT&T. It’s even stranger because AT&T isn’t targeting “video chat” apps with its restriction; it is only targeting FaceTime.What is going on here?
via AT&T, have you no shame? | Ars Technica.
So what’s the solution? Competition plays a key role. While we would prefer a slightly stronger standard for wireless net neutrality, customers generally do have more choice when it comes to wireless carriers than they do in the wired world. Switching isn’t easy, especially in the US world of contract and early termination fees, so the mere existence of competition doesn’t always work magic, but those who want to use FaceTime do at least have the choice of moving to a company like Sprint.
Low-Power Slab Server Pairs ARM with Linux
While Baserock Linux was first developed around the X86-64 platform, its developers planned the leap to the ARM platform. Each Slab CPU node consists of a Marvell quad-core 1.33-GHz Armada XP ARM chip, 2 GB of ECC RAM, a Cogent Computer Systems CSB1726 SoM, and a 30 GB solid-state drive. The nodes are connected to the high-speed network fabric, which includes two links per compute node driving 5 Gbits/s of bonded bandwidth to each CPU, with wire-speed switching and routing at up to 119 million packets per second.

Mirrors Finished for NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope
“Hubble is the size of a school bus,” Mountain said. “JWST is the size of a tennis court.”
JWST’s mirrors are so flat that if you stretch them all out across the United States, “the largest bump would be no bigger than two inches. That’s how smooth these mirrors are,” Mountain added.

Resilient ‘SMSZombie’ Infects 500,000 Android Users in China
If an Android user downloads the app and sets it as the device’s wallpaper, the app then prompts the user to install additional files. “If the user agrees, the virus payload is delivered within a file called ‘Android System Service,’” TrustGo explained.

The article states that this only affects users of China Mobile. I find it interesting that to get infected not only do you have to install the bad app, you also have to agree to install these additional files. Wouldn’t the second prompt raise some suspicion?
