I installed the Chrome extension (direct link to original Chrome extension, probably not a good idea to install it) with the idea of checking out the source code. You don't need to install chrome extensions to look at their source, you ca

Good TVs are very expensive and people tend not to upgrade them very frequently (10+ years seems commonplace) This would give Apple a 10+ year lock-in to their ecosystem. They could then sell iPads as controllers and additional displays.

You're conflating two different things: Local Storage/caching, and the medium it is stored on, spinning disks. The data may live in the cloud, but it will be heavily cached locally. We'll still need several GB or TB of local storage, be it

It's a pity the +25GB plan for $2.49 isn't as good a deal. It's $1.20/GB/year compared to ~$0.60/GB/year for all the others. It should be $1.25/month - $15/year. Glad I got grandfathered in with the +20GB for $5/year plan. Here's all the pr

Unless they've assembled a very good team, that thing will retail for over $100. From the $99 pledge description: "This watch will retail for more than $150" They've already sold devices for blackberry so they have a good grasp of what

I agree. Just pointing out that it's not doing anything to emulate any of the behaviour of any device. It's still rendering as whatever your browser will show for those sizes, same user-agent/css/javascript behaviour. Still, as a demonstrat

Won't webkit drop the prefix once things are standardised and then sites will either be broken or have to drop the prefix to o, thereby working in all browsers?

by Flenser 15y ago
Surely once the feature is standardised webkit stops supporting the feature with the -webkit- prefix so sites will be forced to update their css. Or does webkit continue to support the features with the -webkit- prefix even when they'll wor
