Chrome for Android does the same (you can change tabs by swiping left-right), and it's very unreliable - I manage to change tabs by accident by swiping, but can never do that on purpose...

It's not about the number of people, but the age distribution. In 2100 half of the Japanese may be over 65 years old, and it definitely wasn't the case in 1920.

> Why would the windows manager be a "brand", rather than the distribution? (Red Hat, Ubuntu). But GNOME developers are not content with being just a middle man that distributions tear apart to take what they want. That's why they are b

Hmm.. this actually looks like developer is going to start making less money the moment they release the first feature pack. To make things fair to users [1] you have to start selling base version for less money at some point to ensure that

Well, I'm pretty sure all the money of those companies would not be enough to get LibreOffice to become 100% compliant with MS Office formats in a timely manner. Those formats represent decades of features, bugs, fixes and quirks that would

which distribution should they compile and distribute (sigh) for? Not to mention basic problems like "should I integrate with GNOME, Unity, KDE or nothing at all?"

can someone describe how is that implemented? Or rather, what does prevent other applications from reading address book directly (it has to be stored somewhere on the disk after all). On Linux, I can imagine leveraging SELinux to limit acce

Yes, API is not the same (although very similar) so all applications have to be ported. Some of this can be automated (using scripts like http://git.gnome.org/browse/pygobject/tree/pygi-convert.sh ) but it has to be done.

Microsoft has to provide an easy way to access standard desktop because Metro UI doesn't run the "legacy" applications.

It's a good question, during the previous font testing Canonical has given us access to the "font bug tracker" but the link ( http://fonttest.design.canonical.com ) seems to be dead at the moment. Probably oversight on their part?

Ok, just to be sure I understand that correctly - Microsoft has invested quite a lot of money into developing Silverlight and WPF and then promoting those technologies among developers as the best thing since sliced bread (not to mention th

It actually defines TRUE and FALSE, and not G_TRUE/G_FALSE. But it does indeed define the gboolean type - it does make code easier to read.

Hmm.. haven't Microsoft been forced to introduce the browser ballot not so long ago?

afair, WebKit is just one of backends that LightDM can use so it shouldn't really be a problem.

AFAIK at least Gtk+ and WM theme switching has not been added to gnome-control-center on purpose, it has been moved to gnome-tweak-tool (which is probably not going to be installed by default).

I don't think the lend feature is going to work "offline", i.e. without participation of Amazon. So Amazon would have a full control over who has lend, what books and to which people. So they can easily deauthorize them. But that wouldn't w

the decision to upgrade to the 260.xx nvidia drivers has been made exactly because earlier drivers have a performance issues related to text rendering (the most likely culprit of high cpu usage when using terminal). You could try changing h
