Wow, Jobs dies and Apple goes to hell.

OS 10.5.9 So no emails, right, nor internet access despite a nice clear signal from under the sofa, like always. Now reduced to memorizing a long erratic string of numbers and letters and inputting them everytime my laptop snoozes, dang. Incidentally, I have never mentioned how much I appreciate that youall launch right into tech/political talk as soon as anything is going on. You are my secret weapon against the listless ignorance of the overwhelmed. Thanks.

[FRIAM] WebGL on a smartphone
I just learned that the Sony Ericsson smartphone/PlayStation device Xperia PLAY with Android 2.3.4 has WebGL installed. A guy at Verizon told me that he successfully ran WebGL-based 3D animations from glowscript.org on this device. He also said that he doesn't know of other mobile devices currently supporting WebGL.

Re: [FRIAM] WebGL on a smartphone
My colleague David Scherer (I'm working with him on the development of GlowScript) reports the following concerning the news about the Xperia PLAY device: The default Android browser doesn't support webgl yet. The maker of that device hacked it in. I was able to get it working on my phone by installing FireFox, though! On my HTC incredible the rendering is very slow and lighting doesn't appear to work - everything just looks ambient.

Re: [FRIAM] One fix for the [IP] email Flu bug
Hello all- In case this helps any related issues: I posted re: my computer not holding my modem's password after I uploaded the iTunes update, and having to manually go deep into system preferences to add it in each time my laptop slept or shut down. • The fix, given to me by my ISP: 1. Open network preferences from your WiFi icon in the menu bar. Then click advanced. Delete the network that is giving you problems. 2. Open Keychain in the utilities folder of your hard drive. Find the passwords that are stored for your particular network and delete them. There may be multiple passwords for your network, so search carefully. 3. Repair permissions using the disk utility. 4. Reboot the computer. 5. Reenter your network data to log into the network.

[FRIAM] RIP Dennis Ritchie
http://ht.ly/1f8Aq4 Dennis Ritchie has let an important one and not yet enough valued legacy but comparing with Steve Jobs worldwide prominence and fame and the impact of the news about his death, It brought to my memory the Historias de Famas y Cronopios written Julio Cortázar. Yes I know, it's an unfair comparison. Maybe I am just comparing the impact of both news. Anyhow, It is clear to me that Steve Jobs was a Fama.
