    I agree about the arduino and batteries, but this board is a bit different. It uses external memory which takes more power. It uses javascript which could take much more power. And…

    Gingerbread(2.3) on 512MB works fine.Yes 2.3 isn't the latest, but it offers much more than FxOS. The price is the price at a Chinese webstore including shipping. Not sure about eu…

    Encryption is basically a tool against wiretappers and men in the middle. But what if you don't fully trust your users, and fear they'll try to add exploits to your software ? Anot…

    Amazon currently plays a dual role; both a traditional retailer and a 3rd party logistics business, and they'll probably be quite good at both of those, see the kiva purchase for e…

    Political change on it's own won't work. They will still keep the infrastructure in case they need to spy on someone(with a court order). But if they have the infrastructure , conc…

    What about anonymity ? email has a potential for better anonymity than TOR via mixmaster or other remailers. Are you considering those features ?
