Ubuntu su smartphones

Ubuntu operating system comes to Android smartphones by Leo Kelion Technology reporter ----------------------------------------------------------- Ubuntu will be able to power smartphones in addition to PCs and set top television boxes The Ubuntu operating system has been adapted to run on smartphones. The Linux-based software will allow users to run desktop apps on their handsets, allowing them to double for PCs when docked to monitors. The code will initially be released as a file which can be installed on Samsung's Galaxy Nexus phone, replacing Android. Some analysts question whether consumers really want the power of a fully fledged computer on their phone. Even so, Ubuntu's founder, Mark Shuttleworth, said he was in talks with manufacturers for devices to be sold with the system pre-installed within the year. While he acknowledged the innovation would likely be limited to "enthusiasts and hobbyists" at first, he said it signalled a wider shift on the horizon. continua qui http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-20891868

Schneier "Feudal security"
by Marco Baldassari Jan. 9, 2013

Jan. 9, 2013

Colgo un evidente paradosso nelle argomentazioni di Schneier - il feudatario aveva potere di vita e morte sui suoi sudditi, che la legge (carta costituente) ha mitigato, rendendo espliciti i diritti dei cittadini. Ma questi diritti sono stati ottenuti combattendo contro lo stato e contro il re, per conquistare la libertà. La magna charta è stata ottenuta con la guerra allo stato. Invece le società di Internet non si impongono, le possiamo scegliere e siamo noi a dover valutare le modalità con cui vengono gestiti (e protetti da investigazioni statatali) i nostri dati. Eventualmente autoproteggerci come predica Stallman il radicale. Io non ho alcuna fiducia nello stato e per una lunga teoria di esemplificazioni di come la fiducia nello stato sia stata malriposta. Soltanto il libero mercato tra privati consente la libertà di scelta che protegge il singolo. Piuttosto sarebbe utile fare una analisi di come vorremmo che fossero trattati i nostri dati, per poi dare un "rating" indipendente alle aziende e agli stati che li gestiscono in modo più o meno conforme.

proposta di progetto per "Open European microprocessors"
by M. Fioretti Jan. 8, 2013

Jan. 8, 2013

buonasera e buon anno a tutti poichè in questa lista si parla parecchio di "openness" a vari livelli, mi permetto di inoltrare anche qui una proposta di ricerca/sviluppo/formazione sull'argomento, che anche SE avessi i fondi non potrei certo portare avanti da solo. Siete tutti invitati a farla circolare il più possibile, in qualsiasi ambito EU riteniate opportuno. Grazie in anticipo a chi passerà parola, e per qualsiasi commento, critica, link utile eccetera sulla proposta. What I mean by "Open EU-level microprocessors" is already explained in detail in this post and messages to the FTA mailing list, to be read in that order: http://stop.zona-m.net/2012/09/it-is-time-for-european-microprocessors-and-… http://mail.freeknowledge.eu/pipermail/fta-discussion/2012-October/000492.h… http://mail.freeknowledge.eu/pipermail/fta-discussion/2012-October/000497.h… I've been told that the idea may be worth a proposal for funding under this EU FP7 call: http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/portal/page/cooperation?callIdent… I will send the proposal by myself anyway, but I'd much rather do it with partners. This is something I can and am willing to lead, but surely cannot do alone. And being able to say in the proposal that X, Y and Z have formally expressed interest in participating (with X, Y, Z being faculties, uni departments, companies, individual professionals, whatever) would add weight to it. Wouter said it could be good to create an FKI working group on this topic. I'll do it asap. Apart from the group, whoever is interested please let me know, and please do circulate this call as much as you can. Thanks in advance for any feedback, and have a great 2013!

Internet of things
by gianluca quaglia Jan. 7, 2013

Jan. 7, 2013

In its early days the internet was seen simply as a way of transferring data across large distances but it is now playing an ever increasing part in our lives. David Reid reports on what is seen as the next big frontier for the web - called the internet of things - allowing you to use your smartphone to control your home heating, pay for parking and even monitor your own fitness. continua qui http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/click_online/9782395.stm qgl
