>their is obviously no other solution I don't like it in games, but for applications a freemium model (I hate the buzzword too) seems to be best for developers. Charge for extra features, like Instapaper, App.net, etc. Or go the route o

For Firefox set, Duckduckgo as the URL Bar search engine (somewhere in about:config) and Startpage as the right click search.

>"Native" advertising, a.k.a. sponsored content Which is fine. If you're gonna have an ad I can't avoid but doesn't significantly slow down page load, fine with me.

Feedly depends on Google Reader for now, IIRC. edit: They're fixing it! http://blog.feedly.com/2013/03/14/google-reader/

I'd rather support Firefox, to be honest. I still like a lot of what Google does, fwiw.

Not open source, IIRC.

Which is unstable and does not auto update without writing a script. Google wants you to use Chrome and not Chromium.

NoScript has a similar feature ironically.

Because for some people it might actually be worth it to buy a $200 and pay $60+ dollars a month for a more premium service, than $600 and $30+ for a cheaper deal. Outlawing locking phones would drive phone prices up, I'd think.

Play By Your Own Rules, but host your blog on someone else's site.

I think it's part of the joke.

Solution: use a different browser. Other browsers on Android do have certain benefits. Opera has userscripts, Firefox has add-ons.

I hear people make this claim. How does it make sense? A negative times a negative makes a positive. An evil person dying is a good thing. The only thing worth debate is if the person is evil or not.

I thought this might be why. Fair enough, not a bad feature.

Personally I find it annoying that <tag> is displayed as <tag >. I never understood why this is.

It would show it for me over and over, but suddenly stopped. Maybe installing Ghostery and ABP helped?

I thought that the latest browser tests showed that FF used less ram than Chrome. http://lifehacker.com/5976082/browser-speed-tests-chrome-24-... Unfortunately, reputations stick.

I hope App.net does well, but I (and I think others) would prefer a more open solution. Tent is doing OK so far, but we need something like IRC (which is still doing great).

It should work in Firefox Aurora as well, IIRC.

Possible business models for a service: 1. Free with ads 2. Freemium a la ADN 3. Free without ads (Tent, IRC) What looks nicest to the consumer?

Why not use something better in the meantime?

Youtube Center is probably miles ahead of both of those.

But we do. Any type of editing software (open source or not) has some kind of "project file." Trent Reznor was called the first open source musician because he shared his .band files from Garageband.

I feel like we as nerds should think in the long term. Communication should be controlled by the users. Think about all the companies who were screwed over by Facebook's "Likegate." Decentralization is why I prefer Tent and IRC. App.net see

Privacy is one reason, but not a very good one. For the "Open Tabs" sync, privacy is a very good reason.

Obviously this is ridiculous, but I find it just absurd. Who are the ISPs to tell their customers what is morally and legally right or wrong? Are we not allowed to have a reverse method where we penalize the ISPs for their crimes? Of cour

But better for the web. Maybe some of their ideas aren't feasible but at least they get people to talk/think about this stuff.
