Why do they have to make money? Mozilla is a not for profit, collect donations like most other OSS entities. Its clear they have no idea how to monetise anything to support the not-for-profit, so why bother and go back to the tried and tru

Mozilla has become a shadow of itself. Sadly I think it is like yahoo and going to slowly fade away. I hope new management can come on board and bring back life, energy and trust to mozilla

They took away the status bar because it was superfluous (really they were just copying chrome) and then they integrate a third party extension into the browser. It sure seems to me it was pushed hard.

Mozilla has really lost the plot these last few years. Its time for a clean-out of those at the top and a fresh start

My point was that the collect it all mentality is driven by the number of extremists on the list. It takes something like 20 agents to follow someone around the clock. That means the DGSI would need 230,000 staff to follow all of the extre

France has something like 11,500 on the extremist watchlist. I'm not sure its practical to watch and monitor that many people with the staffing levels of French Intelligence without acting like the stasi

I think one thing we as a tech community overlook is the expectations on the intelligence community. The broader community expects the intelligence agencies to stop ALL terrorists attacks, and thats just not feasible. This drives the int

Do the merchants need to validate there devices are maintained and operated in accordance with VISA requirements? Banks (including PEDS used by the bank) are audited by VISA to make sure they follow required stanadrds/processes (i.e. s

I don't think I've ever seen a Brutalist building that I consider good. Worse still, stupid architects get them heritage listed so we can't even replace them with actually useful buildings (i.e. https://en.wikiped

It is absolutely criminal how much we let builders get away with, and since building inspectors are no longer independent (the builder pays for them) everything is stacked against home-buyers these days

Many people were. Don't forget about all the brouhaha over doubleclick and its efforts to track you. I remember people (techy) being concerned about it. Personally, I remember running proxmitron to block ads and tracking junk, and ad

Thats why publishers and ad networks deserve whats coming. You reap what you sow. Mobile ads are the worst. They hijack the whole screen, float around make it impossible to view content, are a pain to dismiss, and they hijack scrolling. T

Do you watch ads when they are on the TV, you know to support the content, or do you go to the bathroom, surf the web etc? Why is it suddenly different when its the web?

Android allows ad-blocking in its store, Chrome too. But now that apple is doing it, suddenly its anti-competitive. Give me a break

Sites like eBay hosted malvertising ( http://motherboard.vice.com/en_uk/read/ads-on-ebay-and-drudg... ) for 3 weeks. 3 f king weeks!! This is unacceptable. Simply visiting a website with ads poses a threat to the

No, Its much easier to chose what to install from an app store. If you click on the wrong link, or if you receive malvertising, boom! vulnerabilities in this could cause your phone to be infected.

But they should. Most mal-ads are from third party connections. Layers and layers of junk javascript all come from third party connections. Web developers have been shown to be incapable of acting maturely (see http://blog.lmor
