   If there is an impression that ads are going away, it's the wrong one. In the US alone, it's an almost $200B industry. That sort of money doesn't go away.

   I use DDG because of custom search 'bangs'. I have gotten rid of a whole bookmark sub folder of custom keyword searches. When I want google, which is less and less often, I just add a '!g' to my search. I doubt DDG wil

   I know the piece is based on complete hearsay, but did anybody think it is a surprise? Console gaming is a very tough market to break. It is a tough market to stay afloat in for market leaders. Microsoft were untouchable a mere 5 years ago,

   Opera 7/8 was way ahead of it's time. The tabbed interface was faster than Firefox, and better implemented, because Shift+Click opened new tabs, pretty much how I learned about tabs.

   Autoplaying videos. They are the worst. Especially of you have metered internet, which a sizable population does.

   So you like watch ads when they come on? You never change the channel?

   Well Control Center came from SBSettings, for one. On a 3GS running iOS4, you could quick reply to texts, play background music, have a visual multitasking interface, etc. This was years before iOS 7. Though most of the concepts seem to be

   I am not presupposing anything, here is DownThemAll's own blog post on the subject: http://www.downthemall.net/the-likely-end-of-downthemall/

   Apparently content-blocking is not enabled for iPad 4th Gen, because I can't any of the apps. A thoroughly useless device.

    Namely, dropping XUL support. Chrome still doesn't have a functional DL manager.

    The biggest reason I use Firefox over Chrome is because of DownThemAll; an extension that would stop working when turn off XUL support. Trying to follow market trends is whats gonna kill Firefox.

    But graphics aren't tge only thing that require lots of memory. I can crash my 4th gen iPad with just opening one spreadsheet.

    It has been known for a while. Even the Geekbench payloads are different for mobile and desktop. However the benchmarks are irrelevant. Hardware performance means nothing in the face of application support and workflow integration for users

    Well no, there's way to sync files simply but accessing files is quite simple. Regardless, even Dropbox uses local network bandwidth when syncing on two computers on the same network.

    I mean how much does Apple pay to all tech blogs to pretend that iPad is still relevant. Cynicism is easy.

    Samba/CIF is infinitely more simple than setting up Dropbox. But people have been trained on proprietary solutions, thanks to the iPod, hence find that simpler.

    Well this is Engadget. But there's a lot to be said about the articles claiming how Apple is close to surpassing Intel, based Geekbench scores. Geekbench payloads are different for mobile and desktop, ao there is no comparison.

    I think comic book scanners, especially those scanning long out-of-print work, can be the perfect example of the trials and tribulations of digital preservation: -The works they are trying to preserve are copyrighted and still trademarked,

    I was reading on an Android webview, and I didn't find any trouble reading it. I don't know how the experience was on desktop.

    But that is on Apple. Copying music to an iPhone is about as cumbersome as Apple can make it without destroying their music business.

    Well Apple just announced a device chasing the Microsoft Surface, so I'd say MS is back on track.

    But then it would mean adding yet another thing to my bag when moving around. I hope Surface book succeeds so they come up with 15" model with a numpad.

    I only tried a friend's, and it was cool. Personally speaking, I cannot work on a any keyboard without a Numpad, since a lot of my work requires entry of numerical data. I love the look these high-end 13" laptops, and I am intrigu

    You can do Ethernet over many connectors. The end points will still be RJ45, which are very ubiquitous. That issue will not be resolved any time soon.
