Everyone freaking knows LTE phones are unable to connect to 3G when the 4G network goes down--we all get stuck on 1X. So do 3G phones operate properly, no hopping down to 1X? Is that what allows them to claim their 3G network is operating normally? Because for 4G customers, we know 3G is borked too when 4G goes down.

Mozilla plans to ask all certificate authorities to review their subordinate CA certificates and revoke those that could be used by companies to inspect SSL-encrypted traffic for domain names they don't control.

The plan, whose details are still being worked out, is Mozilla's response to Trustwave's recent claim that the use of such certificates for SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) traffic management within corporate networks is a common practice.

... anyone caught with such a certificate would have their root key removed from Mozilla's products and all certificates they ever signed would result in an error when opened in the browser.

URL shortening is a technique on the World Wide Web in which a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) may be made substantially shorter in length and still direct to the required page. This is achieved by using an HTTP Redirect on a domain name that is short, which links to the web page that has a long URL. For example, the URL http://en.wikipedia..../URL_shortening can be shortened to http://bit.ly/urlwiki or http://tinyurl.com/urlwiki. This is especially convenient for messaging technologies such as Twitter and Identi.ca, which severely limit the number of characters that may be used in a message. Short URLs allow otherwise long web addresses to be referred to in a tweet.
