My Archlinux based LiveUSB setup comes around to 1GB and has Libreoffice, Wine, Firefox/Chromium. That said, there are some questionable dependencies in Archlinux lately. For example, mpv now requires smbclient, which then pulls python

And how many people know of Native Client, let alone about chrome://flags? Not to mention that advice won't work then not using a persistent Chrome profile. And Google removed "--disable-plugins" so it is not even p

Lobsters, shrimps or mussles are actually delicious, and are thus expensive. Insects or dog/cat meat on the other aren't, as otherwise they would have been adopted into worldwide diet long time ago. So today they still remain a ch

This particular exploit relies on Native Client, which is concerning since it is on by default and is hard to disable.

It's a positive development, not sure the negative comments. 5% is chump change if a game is successfull. The engine is also open source (so no hidden malware), runs on Linux and WebGL.

Best option would be a bitcoin blockchain connected to government run internal blockchain (or similar) systems. That would offload huge amount of trivial transactions, simplify current archaic internal systems and reduce effectiveness of u

Netflix is only winning in the U.S and some western Europe states. Given the current political issues and copyright enforcement it is unlikely to win in the East unless it is dirt cheap. And I'm not sure if Netflix has same day TV rele

Right now in Russia you can buy an Android 4.4 smartphone (Beeline Smart 3) with Wifi, GPS and 4 inch screen for $30. Not sure how Microsoft's phone can compete with similarly priced Chinese or Indian smartphones.

I wonder if the move is the reason Yahoo Mail has become even slower than before.

The official emulator is so slow it's a joke. Genymotion or Intel HAXM are a bit better but the whole process is clunky. Once Google introduces Android runtime to Chrome, developing for Android should become much easier.

The price isn't bad but you can already get slightly worse Android phones for $70 in Russia, and cheaper in China.

I'm running Archlinux from a flash stick on a cheap Haswell Celeron. From BIOS to chromium/wifi on is about 20-30 seconds. And I'm using connman so it could be faster with directly using wpa_supplicant/dhcpcd. On Windows

Bitcoin price should stabilize if there are more transactions. Biggest issues now are slow payment time, hoarders and over-reliance on few exchanges. I think higher price and faster payment/withdrawal times would decrease the price eventual

Biggest issue with LibreOffice is how slow it is compared to Office. Even in Linux, Office running under Wine is faster than LibreOffice.

Ascend W1 costs $300, so Microsoft is subsidising 50% of the phone. Not sure how that is not considered as price dumping. Also, the 4Afrika website looks like a typical short-lived Microsoft marketing initiative.

Another fail from VIA after their earlier Android PC, which was derided on their forums for being too slow. There are tons of mini pcs now available with double the specs of the VIA pc and up to 2x lower price. Some even have 2GB RAM and ca

I'd say they should be more worried about ChromeOS, as the Samsung Chromebook is still #1 on Amazon laptops despite all the marketing money spent on Windows 8. For Android, if Google added desktop mode and improved performance, and well-kno

Given that all their games work fine with Wine, this is likely a hint to MS not to make the app store mandatory in the future.

Plenty of people are buying Chromebooks and Nexus devices. In fact both Samsung and Acer Chromebooks are out of stock and Nexus devices are obviously out of stock. And of course, Apple owns the $1000 and above market. So obviously fewer pe

Not bad, now if Google allowed installing at least some of Linux apps, such as file manager, Libreoffice, VLC, this thing could be a winner.
