Submission + - An open alternative to Kickstarter (techworld.com.au)
angry tapir writes: "Crowd-funding website Crowdtilt officially launched last week, expanding upon the collective fundraising model pioneered by Kickstarter to enable raising money for any project — even a beer blitz. Like Kickstarter, Crowdtilt allows users to create a fundraising campaign with a tipping point. If the effort falls short of the set amount, would-be donors are not charged. However, unlike Kickstarter, the platform allows users to "group fund anything." Users can initiate campaigns without first getting the approval of service administrators, which they must do on Kickstarter."

I actually thought this was common knowledge for many years now. One of the biggest flawed security screens is the connect-the-dots unlock screen for Android. To really highlight that, just clean up the screen and attempt to unlock. Look at screen from the side. You should see smudges AND streaks. Those streaks can help you easily make out the direction to move in.
CentOS Project Administrator Goes AWOL 492
An anonymous reader writes "Lance Davis, the main project administrator for CentOS, a popular free 'rebuild' of Red Hat's Enterprise Linux, appears to have gone AWOL. In an open letter from his fellow CentOS developers, they describe the precarious situation the project has been put in. There have been attempts to contact him for some time now, as he's the sole administrator for the centos.org domain, the IRC channels, and apparently, CentOS funds. One can only hope that Lance gets in contact with them and gets things sorted out."
