Can't you just use another e-mail app, like for example K-9 Mail, with it?

Responsiveness is not the same as performance. Responsiveness is how quickly it responds to user-input. So, for example, if you click on the Back-Button, then it highlights the Back-button to let you know that you have indeed successfully c

The question is how sensibly Chrome uses those 8 GB of RAM. We are very much still at the point where (most likely) not your entire hard drive + whatever data is generated on the fly or loaded from a webpage fits into your RAM. As such the

WebRTC is a web-standard. So, the WebRTC-plugin itself is actually something positive, as it gives users control to disable it. Other browsers just implemented WebRTC without giving users control over it. Well, unless you're referring

Well, it is for now. This isn't yet a concrete plan that Mozilla has, but from what I've read, the Servo developers would definitely also like to write a JavaScript-engine in Rust, simply because of the gain in security. Also, bro

It's usually less so things breaking and rather just being slow. For example, if you use NoScript, it often takes really long to load up a page, because that's when NoScript becomes active, and because NoScript isn't yet prop

Yeah, Test Pilot is more for features where Mozilla wants to experiment and see, if people even like the feature in general, not so much for bug-testing. With e10s, it was clear that it would be included in Firefox, so they just tested it b

Tracking Protection is pretty much an ad-blocker. It's default-enabled in Private Browsing and you can enable in normal browsing, too, by setting "privacy.trackingprotection.enabled" in about:config to true.

It's not that hard to flash a Custom ROM on most Android phones. I mean, it is a major pain in the butt, as you usually lose your warranty, you don't usually get the original ROM as you already hinted, and dual-booting is only pos

I would have hoped that we would last longer, given how many people here (including Angela Merkel) had suffered from the Stasi, but I guess not.

To me, "human" is a member of the human race, "person" is any creature with consciousness, feelings, personality. So, if an ape/dolphin/alien/robot/whatever is intelligent enough, they are a person to

It was cool to have when I first worked with a Linux command-line and didn't really get any introduction. The instructor just told me to type in "nano filename.txt" and from then on I could work out the rest. Not that it was

Why this takes so long is because once such a standard is introduced, you can't take that decision back anymore without breaking a lot of things. They don't want to introduce standards which end up being used only by a small numbe

The point is not whether you can tinker or not, the point is how much you can. And Linux allows you to tinker with stuff with which neither Windows nor OSX would ever let you play.

There's one point where it already affects non-technical users: HIPAA-compliance or any form of legal agreement to not disclose information. It's currently not clear whether it's legal to even run Windows 10 Home/Pro, if

> If you want Linux to be a primary end-user OS, it needs to stop trying to approximate the experiences of other OSes, and provide an experience the others don't. You say that as if they were mutually exclusive. Linux is not just on

Especially also when your market lead causes a lot of exclusivity like it does in the software world. I.e. many people have to run Windows to do their job and often even have to run Windows 7 specifically, but might still need new hardware

Rationally speaking, yeah, it doesn't mean much more than that they won't work with it, independent of who's to blame, but I did initially still read it as if it was Intel's and AMD's fault, and I'm obviously n

Doesn't justify the 30 day limit, though. That there needs to be some limit is clear, but I don't see a justification for it being only 30 days.

Like the Chromebooks? What the heck is the deal with big companies naming things in horribly ambiguous, confusing ways? Is there an actual reason for doing that, i.e. it's proven that this somehow leads to better sales or something?

Wow, I know how terrible Google is with keeping a product, but this surprises me still. Project Ara was really popular among Android enthusiasts, and even though I didn't really expect it to make them a whole lot of money, as it isn&#x

It's the exact reason for me why I'll probably never use speech recognition for anything more than trying it out. I neither want to be the weird person talking to their computer/phone, nor do I want to annoy people, nor do I

I once heard somewhere that before Google+ became a social network, it was supposed to serve as a way for people to insert custom information into Google-searches about themselves. So, if you're for example someone famous, you could cr
