Interesting test, but the real world usability significance of this are minimal. Now, if Firefox auto updates in the background like Chrome, I might consider giving it another chance. When I want to go on the net, I don't want to wait for m

I don't think it's anything technical, just the same old tactics they use against any other criminal organization. Catch a weak link, offer them a deal in exchange for information that leads to the conviction of someone higher up in the org

I love the sensationalism of the headline. Very exciting, concise and a good summary of what's to follow. I genuinely enjoy the techniques yellow journalists use to get page hits :) This gif from the article is great: http://singularityhub
