The German Government is now deeply suspicious that the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) technology built into a growing number of Windows 8 PCs and tablets is creating a gigantic back door for NSA surveillance, leaked documents have suggested.
Documents from the German Ministry of Economic Affairs obtained by German title Zeit Online uncover the alleged unease of officials at the direction of version 2.0 of the standard being developed under the auspices of the multi-vendor Trusted Computing Group (TCG). German officials, including members of the Federal Office for Information Security (Bundesamt für Sicherheit or BSI) concluded that "the use of trusted Computing technique in this form … is unacceptable for the federal administration and the operators of critical infrastructure," and would represent a “loss of full sovereignty over information technology."
Please don't quote third hand information, i.e. don't quote press that quotes press. Even worse in this case, that quotes press that didn't get it right.
This is what the BSI said:

The standards are open source and the source code is very well documented and vetted. Everyone with a little knowledge of programming languages (c++ and others) can read and compare it with the algorithms that define it. There is simply no room for backdoors.
They indeed spiked some implementations but that does not effect the security of the standard at all. Just write your own implementation If you want to be sure that nobody spiked the implementation you use, it is not that difficult. -
How funny… :lol:
Administrator deletes a response ( link) that did not include any offensive word. Only the word "troll", the same that this "JamesD" used…
Why did this happen? :lol:
It actually doesn't matter. I got what I wanted. I gave some info to people who deserve it, and I taught some trolls (is this word allowed?) a lesson, the ones I got irritated by some time ago.
That's all. I don't need to spend any more time here. I got what I wanted. -
… I got what I wanted. ... I taught some trolls (is this word allowed?) a lesson, the ones I got irritated by some time ago.
... I got what I wanted."I got what I wanted." I guess that says it all, doesn't it? :S

Otter version 0.3.01 released
I updated a few minutes ago, or better: I downloaded and extracted the alpha3-ZIP-File. Then, of course i asked myself: "Where are the bookmarks in alpha1 to import them in alpha3?"
Didn´t found them but if i run alpha3 i was surprised: The bookmarks are there. :huh:Now my question: How does that work? From where alpha3 got the bookmarks?
The two programs, or better directories have no connection or shared files imo? I am a little confused. -
How does that work? From where alpha3 got the bookmarks?
The two programs, or better directories have no connection or shared files imo? I am a little confused.Normally programs use standard locations to store their data and I'd guess the developer knows the paths where his programs store the information and can scan those ..
… in this case:
%localappdata%\Otter\otter\bookmarks.xbelor a corresponding path path doing the same on Linux
-
… in this case:
%localappdata%\Otter\otter\bookmarks.xbelAhh - there it is! :whistle: ♫♪♬thank you♫♪
I searched in the program directory, because i thought it works like an USB installation.

@serious:
best file a bug regarding the issue with an attached error log at their github issue tracker. Probably other people (will) have the same problem so worst thing that can happen is that at least people find a link to the issue on google when searching, even if the solution says "do this, do that" instead of "jeah, we fixed it in our code"
Actually I solved problem as some searching, thanks.

on Linux it's .config/otter/bookmarks.xbel

Alpha 4 is out. For changelog, download and more see: Alpha 4 release (01-04-2014)
If only it would be possible to disable the status(?) bar on the bottom (that with the Zoom), i would be happy.
On my 10" Netbook the screen is very small and i don´t need it. -
Just tried the latest beta and for me it's basic but promising. At this stage I would compare it to chopera. Give it a year or so to mature and I think opera's presto user will have a new love.
-
Currently the most painful aspect of it is underdevelopment of the address field. There are also other major features planned but missing: Panel, Notes and Email.
On the other hand, Bookmarks, History and Downloading has already taken good shape. I have personally talked to the developer and I can say the ideas and determination are solidly there. Particularly, the determination to do things right. That's one of the reasons why address field has been delayed.
Some of the planned features may never materialise. More selfless developers would be nice to have. But as it is, the software has reached a usable testing stage. Give it a shot.

1st Beta. Cool - go ahead!
But one thing is still bad on small screens. That i can´t disable the bar on the bottom.

The interface is a bit crude, but it's a very promising project. In some aspects it's already better than Chropera.
-
Otter has now Panel (Sidebar) and (decently) configurable keyboard shortcuts.
Otter can import old Opera's bookmarks better than any other browser I have tried, e.g. better than Qupzilla. After import, bookmarks keywords are preserved.
Otter has also re-created Opera's Quick Bookmark Access dialogue (Shift+F2 by default). Type the bookmark keyword in the dialogue and it will take you there.
The address field is still underdeveloped, but at this stage for me Otter surpasses any other Chrome-ish product. It's now on a par with Qupzilla.
Otter also has a tray icon, website preferences (F12), and rocker gestures for history navigation

The translations were updated a week ago, but your translation will also make it into some next release
-
Since Otter Browser is designed to be modular, Vivaldi would have no problem integrating their clean room rewrite of Presto into the browser.
