Já me devem ter ouvido dizer que o sapo rula, enfim, sim, provavelmente o serviço X é melhor que o Y do Sapo, mas ainda assim a equipa de desenvolvimento do sapo mostra como se faz e cria um novo serviço web based o sapo web tv.
sim é só um link nos videos do sapo (http://videos.sapo.pt/sapotv.html) sim, tem poucos conteúdos, sim não é assim tão inovador, mas sabem que mais? eles fazem enquanto os outros vão falando!…
De lamentar que os desenvolvimentos do Sapo sejam creditados a Portugal Telecom…
Fica um pedido. Já ouviram falar do Miro? que tal uns feeds do sapo (incorrigíveis, noticias da sic, a T2 para 3, sei lá) para o Miro?
Vindo directamente da secção Os seus direitos na Internet do /. a piada do dia!
Uma empresa colocou na licença do seu site uma clausula em que é infracção dos seus direitos de autor a visualização do código html do seu site.
Meus amigos, BRUTAL!!!
Agora antes de verificarem o código de um site, verifiquem a licença! ah! e contenham-se! não vá a empresa descobrir que estão a utilizar a função “Ver código fonte da página” do firefox!!
O melhor mesmo é verem os comentários lá no /.
Desde a apresentação do código ao ridículo desse mesmo código estar mal escrito…
Como diz a minha avó, velhos são os trapos! Este vídeo não é actual mas eu ontem à noite foi a Loures e comprovei que estão bem e recomendam-se já eu estou cheio de dores! lol
Sabem porque é que a Microsoft chamou Vista ao seu novo sistema operativo?
Então leiam:
Forget about the WGA! 20+ Windows Vista Features and Services Harvest User Data for Microsoft
- From your machine!
By: Marius Oiaga, Technology News Editor
Enlarge picture Are you using Windows Vista? Then you might as well know that the licensed operating system installed on your machine is harvesting a healthy volume of information for Microsoft. In this context, a program such as the Windows Genuine Advantage is the last of your concerns. In fact, in excess of 20 Windows Vista features and services are hard at work collecting and transmitting your personal data to the Redmond company. Microsoft makes no secret about the fact that Windows Vista is gathering information. End users have little to say, and no real choice in the matter. The company does provide both a Windows Vista Privacy Statement and references within the End User License Agreement for the operating system. Combined, the resources paint the big picture over the extent of Microsoft’s end user data harvest via Vista. Reading Between the EULA Lines Together with Windows Vista, Microsoft also provides a set of Internet-based services, for which it has reserved full control, including alteration and cancellation at any given time. The Internet-based services in Vista “coincidentally” connect to Microsoft and to “service provider computer systems.” Depending on the specific service, users may or may not receive a separate notification of the fact that their data is being collected and shared. The only way to prevent this is to know the specific services and features involved and to either switch them off or not use them. The alternative? Well, it’s written in the Vista license agreement. “By using these features, you consent to the transmission of this information. Microsoft does not use the information to identify or contact you.” The Redmond company emphasized numerous times the fact that all information collected is not used to identify or contact users. But could it? Oh yes! All you have to know is that Microsoft could come knocking on your door as soon as you boot Windows Vista for the first time if you consider the system’s computer information harvested. Microsoft will get your “Internet protocol address, the type of operating system, browser and name and version of the software you are using, and the language code of the device where you installed the software.” But all they really need is your IP address. What’s Covered in the Vista License? Windows Update, Web Content, Digital Certificates, Auto Root Update, Windows Media Digital Rights Management, Windows Media Player, Malicious Software Removal/Clean On Upgrade, Network Connectivity Status Icon, Windows Time Service, and the IPv6 Network Address Translation (NAT) Traversal service (Teredo) are the features and services that collect and deliver data to Microsoft from Windows Vista. By using any of these items, you agree to share your information with the Redmond Company. Microsoft says that users have the possibility to disable or not use the features and services altogether. But at the same time Windows update is crucial to the security of Windows Vista, so turning it off is not really an option, is it? Windows Vista will contact Microsoft to get the right hardware drivers, to provide web-based “clip art, templates, training, assistance and Appshelp,” to access digital software certificates designed “confirm the identity of Internet users sending X.509 standard encrypted information” and to refresh the catalog with trusted certificate authorities. Of course that the Windows Vista Digital Rights Management could not miss from a list of services that contact Microsoft on a regular basis. If you want access to protected content, you will also have to let the Windows Media Digital Rights Management talk home. Windows Media Player in Vista for example, will look for codecs, new versions and local online music services. The Malicious Software Removal tool will report straight to Microsoft with both the findings of your computer scan, but also any potential errors. Also, in an effort to enable the transition to IPv6 from IPv4, “by default standard Internet Protocol information will be sent to the Teredo service at Microsoft at regular intervals.” Had Enough? I Didn’t Think So! Microsoft has an additional collection of 47 Windows Vista features and services that collect user data. However, not all phone home and report to Microsoft. Although the data collection process is generalized across the list, user information is also processed and kept on the local machine, leaving just approximately 50% of the items to both harvest data and contact Microsoft. Still, Microsoft underlined the fact that the list provided under the Windows Vista Privacy Statement is by no means exhaustive, nor does it apply to all the company’s websites, services and products. Activation, Customer Experience Improvement Program (CEIP), Device Manager, Driver Protection, Dynamic Update, Event Viewer, File Association Web Service, Games Folder, Error Reporting for Handwriting Recognition, Input Method Editor (IME), Installation Improvement Program, Internet Printing, Internet Protocol version 6 Network Address Translation Traversal, Network Awareness (somewhat), Parental Controls, Peer Name Resolution Service, Plug and Play, Plug and Play Extensions, Program Compatibility Assistant, Program Properties-Compatibility Tab, Program Compatibility Wizard, Properties, Registration, Rights Management Services (RMS) Client, Update Root Certificates, Windows Control Panel, Windows Help, Windows Mail (only with Windows Live Mail, Hotmail, or MSN Mail) and Windows Problem Reporting are the main features and services in Windows Vista that collect and transmit user data to Microsoft. This extensive enumeration is not a complete illustration of all the sources in Windows Vista that Microsoft uses to gather end user data. However, it is more than sufficient to raise serious issues regarding user privacy. The Redmond company has adopted a very transparent position when it comes to the information being collected from its users. But privacy, much in the same manner as virtualization, is not mature enough and not sufficiently enforced through legislation. Microsoft itself is one of the principal contributors to the creation of a universal user privacy model. The activation process will give the company product key information together with a “hardware hash, which is a non-unique number generated from the computer’s hardware configuration” but no personal information. The Customer Experience Improvement Program (CEIP) is optional, and designed to improve software quality. Via the Device Manager, Microsoft has access to all the information related to your system configuration in order to provide the adequate drivers. Similarly, Dynamic Update offers your computer’s hardware info to Microsoft for compatible drivers. Event Viewer data is collected every time the users access the Event Log Online Help link. By using the File Association Web Service, Microsoft will receive a list with the file name extensions. Metadata related to the games that you have installed in Vista also finds its way to Microsoft. The Error Reporting for Handwriting Recognition will only report to Microsoft if the user expressly desires it to. Through IME Word Registration, Microsoft will receive Word registration reports. Users have to choose to participate in the Installation Improvement Program before any data is sent over at Microsof. Ever used a print server hosted by Microsoft? Then the company collected your data through Internet Printing. Network Awareness is in a league of its own. It does not premeditatedly store of send directly information to Microsoft, but it makes data available to other services involving network connectivity, and that do access the Redmond company. Via Parental Controls, not only you but also Microsoft will monitor all the visited URLs of your offspring. Hashes of your Peer Name tied to your IP address are published and periodically refreshed on a Microsoft server, courtesy of the Peer Name Resolution Service. Every time you install a Plug and Play device, you tell Microsoft about it in order to get the necessary device drivers. The same is the case for PnP-X enabled device, only that Windows Update is more actively involved in this case. The Program Compatibility Assistant is designed to work together with the Microsoft Error Reporting Service, to highlight to Microsoft potential incompatibility errors. For every example of compatibility settings via the Compatibility tab, Microsoft receives an error report. The Program Compatibility Wizard deals with similar issues related to application incompatibility. File properties are sent to Microsoft only with the item that they are associated with. You can also volunteer your name, email address, country and even address to Microsoft through the registration process. A service such as the Rights Management Services (RMS) Client can only function in conjunction with your email address. All the queries entered into the Search box included in the Windows Vista Control Panel will be sent to Microsoft with your consent. The Help Experience Improvement Program also collects and sends information to Microsoft. As does Windows Mail when the users access Windows Live Mail, Hotmail, or MSN Mail. And the Windows Problem Reporting is a service with a self explanatory name. But is this all? Not even by a long shot. Windows Genuine Advantage, Windows Defender, Support Services, Windows Media Center and Internet Explorer 7 all collect and transmit user data to Microsoft. Don’t want them to? Then simply turn them off, or use alternative programs when possible or stop using some services altogether. Otherwise, when your consent is demanded, you can opt for NO. What Happens to My Data? Only God and Microsoft know the answer to that. And I have a feeling that God is going right now “Hey, don’t get me involved in this! I have enough trouble as it is trying to find out the release date for Windows Vista Service Pack 1 and Windows Seven!” Generally speaking, Microsoft is indeed transparent - up to a point - about how it will handle the data collected from your Vista machine. “The personal information we collect from you will be used by Microsoft and its controlled subsidiaries and affiliates to provide the service(s) or carry out the transaction(s) you have requested or authorized, and may also be used to request additional information on feedback that you provide about the product or service that you are using; to provide important notifications regarding the software; to improve the product or service, for example bug and survey form inquiries; or to provide you with advance notice of events or to tell you about new product releases,” reads a fragment of the Windows Vista Privacy Statement. But could Microsoft turn the data it has collected against you? Of course, what did you think? “Microsoft may disclose personal information about you if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) comply with the law or legal process served on Microsoft; (b) protect and defend the rights of Microsoft (including enforcement of our agreements); or (c) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of Microsoft employees, users of Microsoft software or services, or members of the public,” reveals another excerpt. And you thought that it was just you… and your Windows Vista. Looks like a love triangle to me… with Microsoft in the mix. Artigo Original
A semana passada consegui recolher as 2 melhores piadas da semana…
Patentear correcções de código. Isto é ridículo e demonstra o quão ridículas são as
patentes de software.
Para quem não sabe o que é uma explicação: tens o código e esse código pode ter falhas.
essas falhas podem ser resolvidas reescrevendo o código.
O estúpido é que eles querem patentear a ideia, tipo, patentear o acto de reescrever o
código aplicável num erro de escrita de software.
O mais estúpido é que não querem patentear o código que corrige, mas sim a simples ideia de que existe esse tipo de código (correcção). Virtualmente todos os programas têm falhas e consequentemente correcções!
Depois disto o Bill Gates apesar de tudo o que fez tem um lugar no céu!
A 2ª piada é algo real e realmente estúpido! Na Alemanha aprovaram uma lei que proíbe ferramentas de hackers. Scanners de portas, sniffers de redes, crackers, etc. O estúpido não é o que fizeram, mas a maneira como o fizeram, que só revela a completa ignorância. Eu posso usar um scanner de portas, por 2 motivos: posso ser um administrador que quer saber se a minha rede está protegida ou posso ser um cracker com as mesmas - mas más - intenções. Eu posso ser culpado por me tentar proteger???
Faz me pensar na Democracia. A Democracia faz com que as pessoas tomem decisões pelos
outros. Mas todos somos influenciáveis. Se eu for um “à lá Microsoft ” crio um conjunto
de burros e faço-os votar em mim, depois de tar no poder mantenho o nível de burrice e
este estado de burrice pode durar anos, desde que eu consiga agradar as pessoas. Aquelas
pessoas influenciáveis que eu falava ao inicio. Não parece um ciclo?
É preciso manter a calma!
Ou pelo menos é o que me estou a obrigar a pensar neste momento em que me apetece espetar estalos em toda a gente que ouse defender a MS à minha frente.
FUD
Todos são inocentes até prova em contrário e ainda não foram apresentadas provas.
Todo o que foi dito vale tanto quantos as pessoas que tentam ganhar dinheiro à nossa pala: nada!
Isto é um jogo:
A microsoft diz que existem produtos livres que violam patentes, depois lança campanhas em massa a mostrar 2 ou 3 casos de empresas conhecidas que por terem maus técnicos mudaram para windows.
Entretanto, acusam a comunidade de violar patentes, enquanto faz acordos com algumas empresas como a novell para levar os gestores de TI a sentirem-se seguros.
Ou seja, a falinha da microsoft é mais ou menos assim: “O linux viola as nossas patentes, mas se vierem (gestores de empresas) falar connosco podem utilizar windows e linux que esta tudo legal; nós autorizamos”
Nestas alturas é que eu não compreendo esta comunidade. Há fundos para videos do firefox; há fundos para tornar jogos livres, mas não há fundos para obrigar estes (…) >:@ #$%#$ (argh) (…) a falarem ou calarem-se para sempre!
Actualização
Parece que afinal o linux não viola nenhuma patente!
Segundo a eWeek, o autor do estudo a que o Steve Ballmer se referencia, diz que os linux não viola 228, mas sim 283, mas que na verdade nunca foi encontrada nenhuma violação de patentes em software livre. Para além disso a OSDL ainda disse que empresas como a Novell, Red Hat, HP e IBM estão prontas para defender o linux sendo que a OSDL já dispõe de 10 milhões de dólares como fundo de defesa.
Por mais bonito que seja, eu digo, invistam o dinheiro em servidores e hardware para testar, porque eles têm é muito dinheiro para gastar e não sabem bem o que lhe fazer…
Depois de ler carradas de analises ao ubuntu F_ F_qualquer coisa, leio finalmente uma analise ao Mandriva Spring.
“On the whole, Powerpack Spring is a fantastic Linux distribution that just works. “
Nao fosse ser abelhudo e por-me a instalar montes de pacotes do gentoo e ja estava a actualizar o meu 2007 para o Spring…
Depois de vários atrasos foi lançado o Gentoo Linux 2007.0. Seja porque os programas tinham muitas falhas a ser corrigidas ou porque esta comunidade tem vindo a perder adeptos, a verdade e que esta e uma versão a ter em conta.
As novidades, podem não ser novidades para quem utiliza o gentoo, mas estão apresentadas como:
- GNOME 2.16.2,
- KDE 3.5.5,
- Xfce 4.4,
- Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.3,
- OpenOffice.org 2.1.0,
- 2.6.19 Linux kernel,
- glibc 2.5,
- Mais drivers
- Emulação de 32bits nas versões de 64bits
- Instalador reescrito
Eu já experimentei e gostei! Este instalador funciona e desta vez funciona bem. Para quem queria experimentar e tinha medo, esta e uma boa hipótese.
O que nao funcionou muito bem foi a acentuaçao. Mesmo depois de escolher no gnome o teclado portugues os acentos nao saiam…
É GPL e melhor, é GPLv2 ou superior!!!
De salientar também, que este projecto está alojado num repositório que se oferece para alojar programas de código aberto!
O que parecia impossível aconteceu. Algo talvez sem precedentes. O “mundo” juntou-se em massa contra os grandes players do mercado de novas tecnologias e multimedia.
Reza a história que ao 2º de Maio do ano de 2007 uma associação obrigou um sitio na internet a retirar um numero de um site. Revoltados os utilizadores desse site encheram-no de artigos e mais artigos mandando o site abaixo. Os responsáveis imitiram um pedido de desculpas pelo que aconteceu.
A frase:
“If we lose, then what the hell, at least we died trying”.
O numero mágico:
