airswimmer | 10 years ago | on: Android Emulators: 10 Best to Run Apps and Play Games on PC

Great article.

I found two online Android OS emulators.

Manymo

"""

Manymo takes a different approach and brings apps in the browser. It is light weight program that is more like an android emulator online and allows you to run android apps in web browser. You can add fully functional android apps to websites with as much ease as you would embed YouTube videos.

"""

appetize.io

"""

Stream iOS & Android Native Apps in the Browser For embedding apps in websites, development, client demos, testing and more

"""

They could be light weight.

Upload and play.

How would you think?

You are right. I think Google want people to get annoyed with this vignette ads if he or she uses google calendar. The user should install Google calendar the APP to be fully controlled by google. Then Google can just sends the user any ad what google like...

They all prefer user using apps rather than web pages. Google and others want to get fully control of users and make money...

letencrypt is in beta testing for now. And they did not claim whether they were going to make this service free forever.

I tried letencrypt, and it works like a charm. But the sad thing is that it needs you to update every 3 months at least for now. And they may have auto-updating script for this, but it is not supported well. Currently the scripts only work for Apache HTTP servers, rather Nginx ones (will work in the future) . I update certificates every 2 months by hands...

HTTPS is rather more secure than what HTTP is. Because it creates a relative secure tunnel between the client and host. But HTTPS does not mean 100% secure, it's easy to be hacked by MITM or traffic been spied.

I think that getting rid of HTTP should not be shamed in that way. But google is planning on doing this thing.

Just as someone said, MITM attackers can switch google ads to others, and I think this is the reason why Google wants to shame those sites who use Google Ads and not use HTTPS. Google can make an increasing revenue by this act.

And yet HTTP2 is out, will google shame those sites who only support HTTP1.0/HTTP1.1 ? I don't think so. Because this has almost nothing to do with revenue for Google.

I think 80% of web sites will be labelled as red-unsafe.

SSL layer security is good but sometimes a certificate is expensive and not free. Suppose that you have 10 domains and not all of them are for SNS, banks and etc..

At what minimum cost will you purchase a HTTPS certificate?

airswimmer | 10 years ago | on: Ask HN: How to search online webcams?

Thanks for sharing. I know Shodan API. But actually its API has request limits.

I am planning on creating a site like shodan which provides webcam search service. You know, detect webcams online and store them into databases.

Some ideas?
