Oh, I see what you've done there. In the very thing you quote, it refers to Football and Football Associations. For further reference, we look no further than Federation of International Football Associations and Union of European Football

I ignored the other comment, but since people are trying to quote stuff, I feel it's important to put it right. Football is the official name in the United Kingdom and especially England. We don't have the Association Football Association b

It's a little harsh given the reality. While consumer demand for their products is shrinking. Consumer demand for most products are shrinking. They still have one of the best selling games systems in the world. They have deep roots in audio

Obligatory "it's football not soccer" comment from the Brit. That aside, this is a fabulous thing. Anyone can play football in tight spaces with a group and on their own. Being the biggest sport on the planet, it's a marvellous thing that y

Today is the anniversary of the settled identity crisis that once was. Firefox has served me great for years though and now I can't imagine calling it anything else.

I notice that the Editor's pick comment notes how Microsoft have one for the Xbox and Lucas Arts has one for Yoda. Both are in fact original designs, the iPad on the other hand doesn't fall into that category. This is another case of the US

So just out of curiosity, why doesn't Adobe embark on those two projects? We're entering a new era of desktop software, surely that should be a catalyst for redesigning both from scratch?

The Nexus phone is a single phone that comes out each year and it designed to progress the ecosystem. It isn't about pushing the boundaries or picking up sales, it's about setting the benchmark for the ecosystem. Hence why it's called a dev

I don't get why people keep talking Samsung forking Android. Samsung also sell Windows Phone and will sell Tizen phones. Not to mention, they've already failed with their own OS. They're better at hardware and software overlays than providi

I have three uses of saved pages. - The open tab: return to it later - Panorama: want to return to it at some point but don't want it off my radar - Bookmarks: pages I read and close a lot. i.e. a folder full of android news sites Admittedl

For the longest time I've been looking for an Evernote alternative that is open source and able to sync my notes between Windows and Android (and desktop Linux) but haven't found one. I really hoped that Mozilla would diversify and offer so

Just out of curiosity, how often do you let someone else use your phone? Not check out your phone but actually use it to the point they'd require a guest mode? Guest mode on a phone is like flying lunches in via Concorde from Paris.

Why would there be? Android is a better OS than Ubuntu right now. Especially given all the issues that Ubuntu currently has on the Nexus (keyboard, camera, bluetooth, etc).

I simply don't get why they'd centre the on-screen buttons. Surely the ergonomics don't support such a move?

The Surface looks more like the iPad than the Galaxy Tab. Don't get me wrong, Samsung ripped the original iPhone off with their Galaxy S(1) but anything beyond that just didn't happen. Decisions like this make me proud of our British judici

Finally. Now if only more Android app developers would rely on an open OAuth model rather than forcing users to use the stock browser.

How can they listen if you're not actually talking. It's like buying a product from China and then moaning in your living room there's a defect rather than actually telling them.

Thanks for putting some context on your content. I too was wondering what you were getting at with it. In regards to Mozilla "not listening", did you file bugs for your ideas/gripes?

Hopefully someone will take on the enormous undertaking that will be fixing Panorama/Tab Candy to work properly. Where's Santa? That's all I want for Christmas.

Hasn't that been a feature from day one. Are you sure you haven't got the option ticked that forces links to open in external tabs/windows?

Web Apps are a very real part of the future of the web. The fact that this space exists in the first place whereby there was only desktop apps previously should be testament enough to that. I may not personally agree with Mozilla in regards

I'm with you 100%. For an incredibly long time I've wanted to see Firefox assimilate the Brief extension. I especially hope they do so with all the furore surrounding Twitter.

Find it hilarious that this got marked down and yet it's something Mozilla have spent the last week moving towards getting this fixed.
