I'm hoping "unified user experience" is meant in a big way -- the promise of a device that can go from touch UI when in my pocket to desktop experience when a keyboard and display are connected is a huge one. The makings of s

My first browser was Mosaic, and I was on Firefox while it was called Phoenix. v57 brought me back to Firefox (from Safari), so I think it's great to see they're not just laser-focusing on what was a rapidly shrinking userbase. It

This is my problem too. There is basically no camera with the processing power and size combination of the iPhones. Some of the things they’re doing with the dual-lens thing are pretty impressive. That said, they're still working aroun
