Who knew browsing had this much risk?


Have you ever wondered why piracy is rapid in our culture?  Answer: We try to catch up to the big companies in making or saving monies. Look at this website image and see if you can spot the manipulation. The RED comes via my pen.
In order to click on that BIG "GO" button you must first sign that you will not compete with the company and second give up your IP rights. But who reads the 4 pages of fine print just to see a picture from a friend.  At least with facebook you only have to give your life away once.

Empathy 2.31.5 now has popup dialog boxes.

After getting Voice and Video in Ubuntu 10.04 via the Open XMPP protocol, I was happy; but, end users just couldn't figure out how to double click on the person's name to answer the call and connect, so my exhilaration faded.

But now a new day has arrived, Empathy finally gained an option to automatically present incoming events rather than just making the status icon blink. Can you spell "EASE OF USE"? The notifications bubbles now contain more buttons allowing you to quickly accept or decline incoming events. Now my relatives and I can talk openly.
