Hackers plan space satellites to combat censorship
by Brazza on Dec.31, 2011, under Hacking, Linux

Computer hackers plan to take the internet beyond the reach of censors by putting their own communication satellites into orbit.
The project’s organisers said the Hackerspace Global Grid will also involve developing a grid of ground stations to track and communicate with the satellites. The hacker activist Nick Farr first put out calls for people to contribute to the project in August. He said that the increasing threat of internet censorship had motivated the project.
“The first goal is an uncensorable internet in space. Let’s take the internet out of the control of terrestrial entities,” Mr Farr said.
End of Flash for mobiles? Welcome HTML5
by Brazza on Nov.11, 2011, under Mobiles
Adobe is all about enabling designers and developers to create the most expressive content possible, regardless of platform or technology. For more than a decade, Flash has enabled the richest content to be created and deployed on the web by reaching beyond what browsers could do. It has repeatedly served as a blueprint for standardizing new technologies in HTML. Over the past two years, we’ve delivered Flash Player for mobile browsers and brought the full expressiveness of the web to many mobile devices.
However, HTML5 is now universally supported on major mobile devices, in some cases exclusively. This makes HTML5 the best solution for creating and deploying content in the browser across mobile platforms. We will no longer continue to develop Flash Player in the browser to work with Flash Player 11.1 for Android and BlackBerry PlayBook.
