Flattr is still a very new concept. Once they have more users I am sure it would be possible to lower the percentage. I wouldn't mind throwing in some extra money to cover the 10%, because this has the potential to change how content on the

If B2G wasn't performing well at this stage, I doubt they would push forward with it as hard as they are. The transitions and scrolling between "home-screens" shown in the video look quite smooth to me.

I'm assuming he means hiding behind a VPN, which encrypts traffic and masks your IP. If enough people start using them, I suppose they'll be the next to feel the heat from the media-companies.

I see. Well, the "community standards" on 4chan for example, or even among younger generations in general today are likely to be different from the casual Internet-users. I suppose Santorum would go by the "community standards" of his voter

Has any kind of border between "normal" pornography and obscene been defined?

What I wonder is, how do "normal" people actually find these sites? Microsoft have these campaigns every now and then, highlighting the capabilities of their new versions, but why would John Smith visit "browserfame.com"?

There needs to be a way to override those behaviours though, as there are situations where the audio of a YouTube video (for example) isn't very interesting, and you'd rather listen to music. Lack of background-playing in the iOS YouTube-ap

After you have downloaded and tried it, think about this: If you like the software, you pay for it or donate to the developers to support further development. If it turns out it wasn't what you were looking for, you delete it off your hard

True, but opponents and critics were quick to point out that it does not protect against "illegal acts". Pretty funny, when you think about how religions have formed our society's rights and wrongs for thousands of years (for better or wors

Few of the popular ones, but there may be some misconception here. NoScript isn't meant to be blocking JavaScript for all sites. If you trust a site, which doesn't function without JavaScript, adding it to the whitelist is one click away. Y

Do you have any examples of sites/companies that put the techniques into use as a direct result of Evercookie exposing them? EDIT: Why am I being downvoted for this question? I am seriously interested, so that I can avoid contact with them.

It should be noted that the NoScript add-on for Firefox prevents this from working through it's Clickjacking-protection (and possibly a couple of more, cursor-specific tricks). People need to know that it does more than block JavaScript.

Mozilla has started a project to develop a demo-browser for Metro. It's not (even) going to be an alpha of Firefox, but it will let them familiarize with the Metro-way of creating applications.

"Why did people like Engadget go from hating Vista to loving Vista SP1 aka Win7?" If I'm not mistaken, the main reason for the Vista-hate was the too frequent UAC-prompt, buggy drivers and extreme slowness. This was generally resolved by Wi

"Sure they're rough around the edges for the "experience", but nothing a couple of expensive consultants can't fix." I'm surprised to see someone say that at this point. Not thinking like you is what made Apple the success it is today.
