I don't care whether it's for anti-wrinkle cream or a web server, I find testimonials about as useful as that ball of lint in my belly button and trustworthy as a used car salesman. It's true many of benchmarks out there use flawed methodol

Do you have any evidence to invalidate Googles claim of declining usage? I trust Google on this one. It served its purpose in 2005 but much better services have replaced it. Move on and get over it.

I agree with everything you said except the Firefox OS part. For me the biggest issue I have with my iPhone is being locked into the Apple ecosystem. I want browser choice but am forced to use Apple's WebKit. With FF OS, I am locked in Moz

My trading platform, tradeking.com, has a web app called Live Trading. According to the task manager, it maxes out 1 of my cores, and makes Firefox's UI unusable in both my home and work computers. My solution has been to run that app in C

I have a win7 laptop with 4GB of RAM. After using Chrome from the beginning, I also was forced to switch back to Firefox because recent builds of Chrome began thrashing with 10+ tabs open. Firefox has it's issues. It still doesn't silently

This is the Linux kernel developers fault to begin with. Microsoft does not break driver API for every minor update of the kernel. In fact with my Radeon x1900 I am running it under Windows 7 with Windows Vista drivers. Runs StarCraft2 and

Watson is a great example of the graduation evolution of weak AI. It succeeds beautifully in its narrowly defined goals, but is still just a glorified statistical search engine. It will not revolutionize AI anymore than Deep Blue did with C

I have a quad-core, 8GB machine at work and a dual-core 4GB machine at home. Both are running Win7 64-bit. How much more do I need? I have noticed slowdown in Firefox's UI on both machines. More important than number of tabs, is CPU usage.

To set the cache to only 100MB, you can always use the "--disk-cache-size=104857600" flag. My issue with chrome is that it eats up a lot more RAM than Firefox. When doing research, I often have 30-50 tabs open. With Chrome my system runs ou

While I'm sure it's fine for some simple applications, I found the 512 model far more useful. They should have waited to release it until they could get the cost down with 512MB of RAM. Having used both the 256 and 512 Model B, I found that

I second this. I've gone back and forth between the vanilla CM9 build and the Samsung touchwiz on my Galazy S2. While the CM9 feels faster and cleaner, it's all lacks some key features. For example the vanilla music player doesn't support d
