Such a shame, they should have gone working for Mozilla on the Boot2Gecko (B2G) smartphone OS. It would have been a perfect fit and a great way to instantly get many enyo / webapps on the new platform.

If it's HTML5, why does it require Chrome? Is there any way I can have Firefox have a go at it?

I really hate this kind of questions. It will make any candidate feel like they're being tricked, and any "wrong answer" (look at the list there of "externalities") will surely be confronted with plenty more follow-up questions. I don't see

It will be very interesting to see this strategy applied to, let's say, Windows XP, the Start menu, the WIMP paradigm etc.. when Microsoft is tired of those!

The (American) judicial system is broken when this type of class justice arises. This is a dangerous development.

Similarly, the issue has shifted from being about copyrights to being a threat to civil liberties.

I get very angry when I read articles on all the heartless injustice people in the USA have to go through with their terrible medical system. Putting patients in deep debt, going uninsured, people dying because they can't pay for treatments

I think all of the Android devices (phones, tablets and such) running some version of Linux would in some way benefit from increased attention to Linux support.

I'd hate to use this on a 24" display, have icons the size of my hand and using a mouse (or "Magic Touchpad" like device) to swipe somehow.

How many people are still "novice" on the computer, and need special simplified interfaces? I guess most elderly people have used a computer by now, the age group below this have worked with at least Windows XP on their day jobs, and childr

Now HP is not just selling a platform, they're selling a platform with an installed base, developer support, enthusiasts and demonstrated demand. This makes their business a lot more interesting for potential buyers!

Not just that, on eBay and various Amazon retailers the prices seem to have stabilized at around 250 USD or even up to € 250 in Europe. If HP chooses this price point most of the current demand will still be there, especially if I could jus

I have considered the same thing, and it's true for me too. Take your office, for instance: I don't use folders, everything is on the computer. Same for photos and albums, I don't need to store those, or CDs, LPs and the like. I have lots o

In The Netherlands there are certain "Christian" ISP's that provider Chinese "Great Firewall" type services and customers of the ISP choose them voluntarily. Could your friend use a similar service?

I have! DuckDuckGo gives me fewer hits, but I am usually able to find what I'm looking for within the first few hits, which is great. One observation is that the Duck is great for English language / international searches but not for other

This will be wonderful for new Mac users, Windows-to-Mac switchers and other non-technical people on a Mac. Countless times I have been asked to fix customers' aging systems only to find that nearly all applications in the Adobe Creative Su

I would like to know what Ubuntu this is based on because of driver issues I have experienced with 11.04 and 10.10. Also, do the software repositories work and is the shell Gnome2 or 3?

I see this link here as flame bait. This guy is happy with his Asus tablet because it has a keyboard and Flash in the browser. Good for him.

I'm astounded and worried that the conversations with this bot are much deeper and more profound than Human-to-Human conversations on chatroulette/omegle etc.

Finally a client that merges / blurs the line between my email conversations and my IM conversations. I like to have a Skype open as a continuous conversation with people, like a link dump or easy way to share files. This seems to do the sa

Actually, iMessage is a great example of Apple taking a succesful third-party concept and making it their own in the OS, like Dashboard (Konfabulator) before, they now do the same to WhatsApp, only this is iOS only and Whatsapp is crossplat

Apart from this, and quoting the Ars Technica article, it's a prime example of "guilty until proven innocent" and a really sneaky tactic by the government to go around the political / democratic process and form "voluntary agreements" with

"My conclusion is that the root cause of high prices is a lack of competition. That means that operators can continue to charge outrageous margins, with significant mark-ups for crossing from one EU country to another – even though these in

Another question: if the beers in the fridge are running out and you have to "restock" with room-temperature ones ( http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail39.html ), how long does it take a 4*C fridge to get them down to that temperature? And
