I welcome the day when this practice, or something similar, catches on in India. Almost every Indian politician has a criminal record, is a thief who siphons money into tax shelters, and does all of this with impunity. Sadly, this trickles

Multi-process architectures do not guarantee fluidity. In the case of more than 15 tabs, Firefox nightly is more responsive on my laptop than Chrome Canary. YMMV What about IE being multi-process makes the experience with that browser bette

Please demonstrate your credentials to back your claim that "done via simplified API like Chrome's". I ask because this is certainly a false statement. Are you an extension developer? Have you ported an extension from Firefox to Chrome? Opi

It would be instructional to understand what the actual difference in cold startup times are between Chrome and Firefox on your machine. Would you take some wall-clock measurements of cold startup and post a comparison for the HN community

Reliably proving your identity becomes very important in India due to the vastness of the population and the number of subsidies earmarked for the under-privileged. Subsidies aside, reliably identifying someone guarantees their right to suf

As someone said, the Surface is entering a crowded market. The Surface is launching more than 2 years after the first iPad hit the shelves. In the years since, the Nexus 7 and the Kindle Fire have established themselves as compelling consum

Hi, I am the author of the post. Your opinion might differ, but the Zune v2 had a number of features that the iPod lacked: Wireless Sync, built-in radio, and Social/sharing are three that immediately come to mind. From a services standpoint

I agree with a number of points made in the article and the general comments about corruption in India. I disagree with the assertion that Indians are out to thug you for your money, and that is not the case with businessmen in America. Hav

Very few user interfaces have withstood the test of time. There are notable exceptions, of course - the iOS UI, uTorrent, and the Chrome browser immediately come to mind. Other applications and operating systems have continued to evolve the

What is even more deplorable, depressing even, is that the educated Indians are the worst of the lot. You would think education would bring about change and an unwillingness to give in to the corruption. You would be absolutely wrong. The e
