Android 4.3 was only release a few days ago. I'm surprised they're announcing 4.4 already. Both this link and the BBC article don't have any information about what new features are in this release. Seems pointless to just ann

Events like this are a reminder of why technology like Tor and I2P are so important. When I was working in China, I was surprised by the number of people that were aware of Tor and those that I introduced it to were thrilled to have their f

I can also Google "Man of Steel (2013) torrent" and download a copy in minutes. That doesn't make it legal. Likewise, you can't stream or show "I Have A Dream Speech" or "Man of Steel" to an audience

I fails to see how HTTPS Everywhere + a nag whenever a form is detected on a HTTP page doesn't make this a complete non-issue. OP is not giving Mozilla any credit. If OP has ever used Tor, he would know that the performance hit is so h

Yes, the demo was not obvious until I scrolled back to the top. It is beautiful, and I'm sure it took a lot of hard work. After trying it both FF and Chrome, it's frustrating that a 3 year old machine with a decent dedicated Rad

Exactly and I wanted to "un-vote", remove my previous vote. I'm not happy about the adware, so I initially voted for the story, but after checking some sources I discovered the article was full of inaccuracies.

There is a clear distinction between malware (virus, trojans, and worms) and adware in the antivirus community. As this is neither drive-by nor malware, it's no stretch; it's an outright lie. Who are you to say how open source aut

Yes, I did say continuing down the current path was necessary. From the languages to the libraries, today's tools allow us to work miracles. As Go has shown with CSP, sometimes these initial failures are just ahead of their time. Neuro

Thanks for the link. After 60 years of promising to make computers think even the fastest machines on the planet with access to Google's entire database still have trouble recognizing a cat from a dog, so I have to agree with the artic

Enigmail is just an add-ons for Thunderbird, which Mozilla has basically end-of-lifed. My point was for a PGP client to take off, it's going to need some major backing. This is unlikely to come from Mozilla, since they've announce
