This is hilarious. Google ignores MySpace. Facebook blocks Google’s Friend Connect.
Now that Google has launched Friend Connect, we’ve had a chance to evaluate the technology. We’ve found that it redistributes user information from Facebook to other developers without users’ knowledge, which doesn’t respect the privacy standards our users have come to expect and is a violation of our Terms of Service.
They all think they are open. Google and Facebook trying to out anti-open each other.

The iPhone’s ability to switch seamlessly between Wi-Fi networks and AT&T’s EDGE network with minimal mucking around by the user still remains unmatched. If you’re using one of Nokia’s increasing number of Wi-Fi enabled phones, the experience is the opposite: painful. Unless you permanently set a preference in each individual application, you’re annoyingly prompted to select a network whenever a program tries to access the Internet.
Nokia is still grappling with this problem. The good news is that there’s a fix: Psiloc Connect. Psiloc Connect works by creating a new Access Point on your S60 device. By pointing any application to the Psiloc AP, you can set your preferences so Psiloc will attempt to connect through Wi-Fi, then will try your cellular data connection next, whether it be 3G, EDGE or GPRS. In other words, with Psiloc, you can let the phone choose the fastest data network available. It will set you back about $16, which isn’t cheap — but I think it’s worth owning.

The Democratic Governor of Kentucky has vetoed two years of funding for the continuation of a statewide broadband expansion program that’s a model for pushing nationwide rural broadband. Governor Steven Beshear vetoed $2.4 million in state funding for Connect Kentucky, a group founded in 2002 to spread broadband access around the Bluegrass State.
In vetoing the law Beshear commended the work Connect Kentucky has done to connect the state, but pointed out that, in a time of budget cuts, increasing the program’s funding by 26 percent wasn’t prudent. While Connect Kentucky has its attackers, it enjoys support from both sides of the political aisle and has spawned a national broadband program called Connected Nation. Perhaps Connect Kentucky will find its funding elsewhere.

In this tutorial we will learn how connect your Motorola V3X to ubuntu 7.04 trough USB
First of all, we will download the moto4lin utility from the repositories.
sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install moto4lin
Once installed, we need to change the configuration file of moto4lin.
cd $HOME/.qt
gedit moto4linrc
We change the old values to this ones. The most important values are, the device, product and vendor values. Those values are for the motorola V3X. Other motorola have different values. I'm sure you may look in web for those values or you may get them inside the moto4lin using inside preferences the update list button. You can activate the auto connect option too.
[device]
cfgACMdevice=/dev/ttyACM0
cfgATproduct=3002
cfgATvendor=22b8
cfgAutoConnect=1
cfgDetachDriver=0
cfgP2Kproduct=3001
cfgP2Kvendor=22b8
[filemanager]
cfgAutoExpandDirTree=0
cfgAutoUpdateFileList=1
cfgGoLastFolder=0
cfgLoadList=0
Now we are going to make a little script in our home directory to load the module and launch moto4lin.
moto4lin you need access from root login to work, so we make a sudo launch.
cd $HOME
gedit motorola
This will be the script:
sudo modprobe cdc_acm
sudo moto4lin
now we only need to allow execution for the script with chmod and we have our script.
chmod 700 motorola
./motorola
If all has gone right we will be able to connect our Motorola V3X by USB.
