ITworld staff shared Marketing for spyware-maker Carrier IQ contradicts its denial that it doesn't spy on users on Reddit Carrier IQ issued a statement saying its monitoring app can tell if a text was sent, but not what it said. Its marketing page says it can capture keystrokes and screen shots, just as a security researcher charged. Nokia and RIM still deny using it, despite evidence to the contrary.

I love the videos produced by Youtubers "theslowmoguys", using high-definition slow-speed cameras to produce really cool slow-motion videos. As part of their "Sledgehammer Week", they decided to destroy a desktop PC, something that everyone has wanted to do at some point in their computing life.

End user license agreements are extremely long, terribly hard to grasp, and written to cover so many aspects of every single way you might use this thing you're just starting to use that it's both humorous and pointless in its incomprehensibility. But they can get you in a mess of trouble. Is there any way out of this foggy morass?

Commented on Vendor Neutral vs. Cisco Wireless Certification
Wireless to me is as series technologies that are meant to replace the wire with radio. So the wireless certifications should contain the understanding of radio and the components that are required to effectively deliver and manage this media to clients. Sometimes I feel like there is too many certification requirements. This is especially true in my position working for a small Cisco VAR. We don't see an Ethernet or T1 certification. However, I do believe wireless has enough challenges that it requires enough specialized knowledge to warrant a certification program. -- Paul Stewart (via polldaddy)
