The ‘WTF’ Quote of the Day

A “Cyber Law Expert” on the IT Law and Government’s Censorship of Savita Bhabhi

Unlike countries like the US and China, which do not have common servers for websites, India cannot block any kind of illegal websites because here we have a common server for all websites. In the US and other developed countries, they have specialised or separate servers for the pornographic things.

So, technically, in our country it is impossible to completely prevent pornography, whereas blocking any random sites here would affect genuine websites as well.

[Wordpress] Themes are GPL, too

“We’ve always done our best to keep WordPress.org clean and only promote things that are completely compatible and legal with WordPress’ license. There have been some questions in the community about whether the GPL applies to themes like we’ve always assumed. To help clarify this point, I reached out to the Software Freedom Law Center, the world’s preëminent experts on the GPL, which spent time with WordPress’ code, community, and provided us with an official legal opinion.”

Marco Arment on Firefox 3.5

They keep making things Awesome™ for the fringe of uber-power-users instead of fixing the common issues that frustrate everyone else and drive average users away from Firefox every day.

I haven’t looked at Firefox the day I realized all my stored passwords are available to anyone to view, unless I’ve set a Master Password which isn’t enabled by default.

Major New Announcements by Boxee

Boxee, my choice of Media Center app, just announced a whole list of new features added to the platform. One of the major announcement is that Boxee will now be available (as an alpha release) for Windows users as well. This now means that there would be even more users onto the social network and thus, a better chance of getting good recommendations / likes from your friends.

Also, since Boxee is now available on all platforms, more interesting apps can be possible by the developers.
