Doesn't really work, shows only a blank white window, no info visible on any of the sites I tried. Does the plugin work through www-proxy?


If interested in the topic I can recommend Alan Arnette's blog http://www.alanarnette.com/ I've found it one of the best sources of what's happening on Everest.


Very interesting if this plays out. NSN would have capability to offer full stack mobile networks made all from in house equipment. NSN probably sees this as a tool to fight Ericsson, also Alcatel probably does this already.

On the IP security side Nokia has history in firewalls with their IPSO business, which was sold to Check Point in 2008.


I think he ment that if you want to use the phone, you are not forced to use a ecosystem monitored by USA.


Internet didn't work, all I got was a Lego brick with a X on it.


I'm just wondering if they have any network security equipment at all, or have they been smart enough remove at least something from the list.

Check also all the forms they have available at http://idc.nic.in/services.htm I guess filled forms and some social engineering would go long way.


I remember hearing that this is because there was once a fire in a church and almost everyone inside were killed. This was caused by inward opening doors getting blocked from opening due masses of people trying to push their way out in panic.


Better government than corporation, I choose the lesser evil.


That's a pretty unsubstantiated claim, considering the tens of millions of people murdered by governments in the 20th century.


It is actually into the hundreds of millions, and that is just governments killing their own people, not inter-state wars. Rummel puts this number at 262M.

That's probably because governments enforced a monopoly on weapons. Do you think the world would be better if we allowed companies to raise private armies of mercenaries?


We don't now? There's more private gun-toting personnel in the Middle East now than you could easily count.


And that place is in great shape :)


With extractive governments like Assad's, you could hardly expect something different.


I think it depends on if you're talking about expected case or worst case.

In the U.S., companies will act out of their own selfish interests, but in theory the government can address the concerns of the citizens in areas the citizens don't have sufficient power themselves ("by the people, for the people", etc). If the government is focused on regulating the industry, the "serf" ownership model won't be transitive from the companies to the government. Hopefully the companies would act as a barrier and the government would never get them as direct minions.

But obviously the government could abuse this position. Then it's a question of which one would be the purest evil given the chance.


Yeah, image quality seems to be lower than in google streetview, but it also runs much smoother at least on my machine.


I heard the Instagram hype all over internets and tried the software, but deleted it right away when I saw it required an account. I can see why they are doing this, but from my perspective it's just greedy. No need to integrate everything, I just want to take some pictures not register to a service. Soon we will have calculator apps that force you to make super-calc-account where you can share your calculations with your friends...


Instagram is a photo sharing social network. How would you expect it to work without creating an account?
