Private, encrypted chat for Google, Facebook, Jabber; with support for Tor! Gibberbot is a secure chat client capable of firewall and filter circumvention, surveillance blocking and end-to-end encryption. It works with Google, Facebook, any Jabber or XMPP server, such as OpenFire or eJabberD. Unlike Blackberry BBM’s broken single key security, Gibberbot uses the Off-the-Record encryption standard to enable true verifiable end-to-end encrypted communications.

To repeat what I said on Twitter , it’s somewhat pointless but a neat hack nonetheless – running a GSM base station from a CDMA handset. With minimal work it’s possible to get gnuradio and OpenBTS working on the ARMEL architecture used on the Droid, allowing my Droid to act as a base station to which handsets can connect; the Droid then connects calls using an on-board Asterisk server and routes them to the PSTN via SIP over Verizon’s 3G network. The quick version: I can provide voice and SMS connectivity to local GSM handsets using nothing but a Droid and a USRP. A quick log of what you’ll need to replicate this. This is from memory so I may have missed something; fortunately there’s an easier way that I’ll come back to. - Root the Droid and install Sholes Mod . - Mount your SD card in a desktop machine and create an EXT3 partition.

Google emails highlight value of location data
Larry Page's Memorial Day weekend email was terse -- "Can I get a response on this?" -- but the scramble it set off among top Google ( GOOG ) executives on a Saturday afternoon in 2010 illustrates the critical importance of the data smartphones use to track their location.
Le projet Replicant ou Android totalement libre présenté par PaulK
« Android représente une étape majeure vers un téléphone portable libre qui soit contrôlé par l’utilisateur, mais il y a encore beaucoup de chemin à parcourir. Les hackers travaillent sur Replicant, mais c’est un gros travail de rendre un nouveau modèle compatible, et il reste encore le problème du micrologiciel. Même si les téléphones Android d’aujourd’hui sont considérablement moins mauvais que les smartphones d’Apple ou de Windows, on ne peut pas dire qu’ils respectent vos libertés. » Ainsi se termine l’article de Richard Stallman consacré à Android et la liberté des utilisateurs .
