Sounds like a stupid question, but I am seriously asking it. What was the infrastructure of ASF? Own servers? Wouldn't moving to a cloud provide helped reduce cost? Ethically speaking, isn't it a conflict of interest that an idol

With how much we depend on the web, we cannot just have one browser engine. Plus firefox despite not having the fancy budget of Google & Microsoft, they are delivering a kick ass product. Plus with HTML5 & open standards, multiple e

So, basically the version we download to install is actually the open-sourced version + Telemetry, with an option to disable the telemetry. For the privacy-conscious or Microsoft distrusting folks, you can either build from source or just i

Wow. I didn't check the wikipedia entry for KaiOS earlier. But the weird thing is that I recently read in some magazine (I am unable to remember the name) about Google investing in KaiOS which was a Brazilian company and the whole arti

First off, I am not pro or anti USA or China. Just curious and hoping to have a constructive dialogue. What moral high ground is USA on in the Snowden era? Why trust Cisco or Apple or Google or Facebook or Microsoft in USA's Prism? Wit
