I did not really cover everything: GPS, Webcam and Fingerprint reader are not configured yet (I just did not …

Smart heating? Anyone?
We have a lot of dumb radiators in Germany. And I bet everyone else in Europe and the US, too. They all look the same: They have a thing you turn to make it warmer or colder. But they depend on you, and they don’t do anything when you are not at home. We don’t …
New Ubuntu Linux is out for download
Cory Doctorow:
It’s a good day for downloads! In addition to Thunderbird 2, there’s the newest version of Ubuntu, “Feisty Fawn.” Ubuntu is the free, easy version of GNU/Linux that runs on practically any hardware and is so easy to set up and install that it can be administered by regular users. I’ve been using Ubuntu exclusively since last October and I love it (and yes, I’m still working on my long-promised Ubuntu article. Classes end soon — I’ll have some more time once I’ve turned in my students’ grades).
Feisty Fawn has something from everyone: server virtualization enhancements, better video- and audio-editing, a Windows desktop migration tool to ease the pain of switching, easier multimedia codecs, and easy print- and file-sharing over WiFi.

How to not be removed from a newsletter
I today received a mail from a well-known opt-in massmailer company (that sells your email address faster than you can blink with your eyes). It contained a ‘remove me from newsletter’ link in the following format: http://www.xxxnameofcompanyxxx.com/index.php3?url=mailoff_m.php3&b_id=3963990 and I couldn’t believe it: incrementing or decrementing the ‘b_id’ parameter and pressing the ‘Remove’ button reveils the …
