Hopefully Firefox will have a way to let the user enable the few places where third party cookies are desired They do. The title of the bug is "Block cookies from sites I haven't visited" and the blog post[1] explains that any site with 1

Yup. Realised that after I posted. A way to tell if it has a HW keyboard attached would be useful. Although the user could prefer either method, and what do you do if they detach the KB?!?

They said it was a security risk even though Silverlight 3D had the same problem.

Is there a "standard" way of detecting mobile devices and loading jQuery Mobile along with your site's mobile JavaScript instead of the desktop version? Right now I'd do it like this: Modernizr.load({ test: Modernizr.touch, yep

Seriously, why the downvotes? I don't think developing in secret is how things should be done (in a perfect world). I'm just theorising why Google might have chosen to work that way. Is this not a reasonable motive, or is there a better e

If they'd announced this before they had a working implementation then Microsoft would have either created their own competing standard or wanted changes that only benefit themselves and slowed down development. AFTER EDIT: Why the downvote

Indeed, from my quick scan of the report it looks like it was done in good faith. It could be that MS influenced Network World to publish it. Even if I knew they had I'd still be more favourably disposed towards Azure having read this repor

Do awards like this lead to more research being done? It's easy to throw large sums of money at problems, it's harder to hand out lot's of smaller amounts. I suspect that if this money was awarded as smaller grants to many researchers it wo

In our current project instead of putting the framework's html/css into our codebase I'm outputting as bare bones html as I can with semantic class names on everything and then mapping those classes to the framework using sass mixins/extend

I hesitate to share the code for this as it could change the nature of HN if it became widespread. (It would also take more time to convert it to an extension that anyone could use than I have available right now.)

You could use some JavaScript to change window.location.href to a new data uri containing the content of the page that you could then bookmark. There's a limit to the length of URLs so it would be an interesting trade off of save size vs fe
