The whole point of this for them is to promote their Mario games on their systems. (Like what Pokemon Go did for Pokemon on the 3DS.) It's basically today's equivalent of the Super Mario Super Show.

Isn't this kind of like what WebKit was doing with FTLJIT before phasing it out in favor of B3?

Mozilla was spun out from Netscape but it itself is not Netscape as Netscape was aquired by AOL. 89% is still a far cry from anything Firefox has managed. Either way you look at it Netscape did not bounce back.

It matters to the search engines that pay Mozilla for that default search setting plus royalties for referrals. Which in turn funds all of their projects including Firefox.

In terms of marketshare Firefox is in the single digits now. Regardless of what is the better browser Firefox is, relative to Chrome and IE, not that widely used.

Mozilla isn't Netscape rather it's a spin-off. Also, Netscape at its highest was 100% marketshare. Netscape is gone. It never "surged" back.

Let's be honest here. There's nothing Mozilla can do to prolong the life of Firefox. Once you lose marketshare it's more expensive to gain it back. Just look at what Microsoft spent at getting IE/Edge to where they are t

>Any search engine is good enough That's simply not true. Things we take for granted like true multi-query search and sub-second results speeds simply aren't seen in distributed search engines.

Peer-to-peer Information Retrieval is one of those old research topics that face the difficult to solve problem of scalability. YaCy is yet an early contributor to this research but we've yet to make something to my knowledge that give

I guess they could always emulate a machine with Flash Player installed on it. Outside of that it looks like it's up to Adobe to make a Flash runtime for the Web: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=417

Well according to google only 1% used chrome apps on those other platforms. I imagine they are thinking that developers will make quick and dirty Android ports to Chrome OS like they did with tablets.

It's a Nexus 6 but even my 1st gen Moto G could display WebGL. In my experience it's way more common to find phones that support WebGL than desktops/laptops.

That implies it would be redownloaded every time rather than just the check for the ROM first and download if absent.

If only Nintendo did the NFC cartridges thing with their Mini NES. That would've been so awesome and maybe somehow they could've had third parties rerelease thier own games independently through that mechanism.

Not a single one of them looks better than the one they already have and at least half of them are awful. Besides the name makes way more sense with the dinosaur logo.

Do this mean we can start making standalone smartwatches (that have GPS/LTE/Wifi) and go back to making 4" phones again?

Let's break the toilet taboo already. I'm tired of every public restroom I go to being pull to open. Sometimes even the stalls are pull to open (which is hard to do in such a tight space). Also, how about those self cleaning toile
