Sounds interesting. Cool that it's build in HTML/CSS/JS, and apparently 1.0 was just submitted to the App Store today: https://plus.google.com/103835916412808164341/posts/fC3RZ4Lp...

Sadly, most of the x10 adapters don't work with LED bulbs. (the "lamp" ones, the "appliance" ones should be okay)

Well-optimized C is likely to always be faster than well-optimized JavaScript. It is also possible that circuitlab is not well-optimized JavaScript. I will say that it also depends on the problem domain. You can make a fast 3D game in JavaS

Everyone's different, but I have a "Kindle with special offers" from last year, and the sleep screen's ads are actually a feature. They're unobtrusive, informative and have actually saved me money. If the Kindle Fire implementation is simil

That's my feeling, too. I really like that in Sublime Text I can hit a shortcut that launches any of the random commands available in the editor. I would probably amend the statement to be "Every app for programmers should have this."

There's a bug in bugzilla for that. Also, I think you'll find that the whole issue of "common phone screen resolutions" is actually painfully complicated. The iPhones, for example, report their resolution as half the actual resolution (in e

I have a good reason for wanting this to land "earlyish" – to encourage the creation of more commands and full command access to the tools. If the command line is there and seeded with a few commands, people will start adding more (both for

Firefox already has a package manager, doesn't it? You pick up the "packages" here: http://addons.mozilla.org/

In some respects, it goes farther back than that. IIRC, Bespin had a command line in early 2009 when I started working on it.

Indeed, we're working on a view that holds all of the tools together and debating about how we want to handle JS entry.

Actually, I think the effect is better this way: changes are relatively small and incremental (and every release does not have significant user-visible change). This is easier than a huge change all at once (like Firefox 3.6->Firefox 4)

Here's the blog post in which I introduced the feature... http://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2012/03/13/firefox-adds-new-dev... The 3D view is not "every day" useful, but people have found it to be a quick way to spot unexpected nesting issues.

This looks very attractive, but I suggest reading slide:ology, Presentation Zen and such. Haiku looks like it will make beautiful backdrops for a talk, but the sharing of "slideuments" is a bug, imho. There's either too much detail in the s

Actually, if Apple had an interest in Square, wouldn't it then be a shrewd move for Starbucks to invest and get on the board? Buying into a company not long before it's acquired can be a great way to make a buck.

The web platform is rapidly improving for games, on all fronts. The HTML5 offline (appcache) spec allows you to have resources available when offline (and you don't need to write your own code to stuff things into localstorage...) Besides,

FWIW Firefox ships with a similar feature in the Aurora channel right now https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/apps/partners/ As others have said, the goal ultimately with this kind of work is (or should be) standardization. Web tech-based apps

I believe it was Firefox 12 or 13 that made add-one compatible by default. Except for add-ons with binary parts, I don't think you should find so many turned off with each update now.

Actually, Firefox developers care a good deal about memory management. More than Add-on authors unfortunately. We've had a project called MemShrink running for about a year and it has been making steady progress. and that progress has been

Mozilla is trying to fix this, through the BrowserID (Mozilla Persona) project. http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/persona/ This article actually somewhat validates the approach BrowserID takes: you use your email address as your ID. BrowserID

For what it's worth, this is exactly why Mozilla is helping to build out the missing pieces of an app ecosystem for the web. We're trying to take the good bits from other platforms and make open web alternatives. http://wiki.mozilla.org/Ap

Personally, I'd go with a headline more like "New Firefox Beta for Android is way, way faster!" The Firefox Android team put a huge amount of effort into redoing the UI to make things far faster. Support for Flash is fine for some (and much

This description is a lot like Boot2Gecko, except that Boot2Gecko is currently targeting phones rather than desktops. Chrome OS is a similar concept (though I admit to not looking too deeply at it)

by dangoor 14y ago
What you're describing is well in line with Mozilla's Apps, WebAPI and even Boot2Gecko projects. Firefox Nightly includes the ability to install an app (a webapp with a manifest file) and you get a runnable program in a platform-specific lo

Yes, the style inspector is vertical for exactly the reason you cite. We're also working on a better solution so that it doesn't cause issues with responsive designs. Firebug is still actively maintained and continues to have new releases a

Just to reiterate what bz said for emphasis: it wasn't a matter of Firebug "playing ball". The choice to build afresh was made based on the direction that they wanted to go at the time and our own assessment of how we could get something re

This is very cool indeed. Cedric Vivier has made a LiveScratchpad that does live JavaScript evaluation in Firefox. http://neonux.github.com/LiveScratchpad/ It would be cool to add the multiple function source to that!

In their FAQ, they mention wanting to keep the changes people make open for now, which is why they chose the GPL. If that's the case and they're not pursuing a dual license business strategy, I'd suggest that the Mozilla Public License 2.0
