Replacing gmail and changing the way we use email mean exactly the same thing, by the way. And yes they started changing it a long time ago. And yes, open protocols are the losers. And users, and everyone else outside of Google, obviously.

Nope. Firefox hide away stuff in about:config for testing purposes generally and expose the setting in the user interface after its been tested enough. Sounds logical enough to me.

An occulus is just a dual display device (ie 2 cameras video feeds need to be transmitted) There is no "beam" or magic. Its 2 cameras, 2 video feeds. That's great and exciting if as general public, we have access to those vid

Yep. Lxc etc too since they all use the same technology. The thing is, this layer of security never matters much to people. Then the world ends the day theyve been compromise sadly and only then do they start caring. Security is one these &

Firefox Nightly also has a tracking protection in about:config => privacy.trackingprotection.enabled its off by default seems to also block some adverts when on. (probably because those adverts are also trackers)

i still think being faster than chrome js is a nice feat. specially for html5 gaming. i dont think chrome having faster js back in the days did change much user-wise. gmail was as fast in firefox as it was in chrome... ;)

HJSON seems a lot simpler and closer to JSON than YAML. And.. yeah, for human processing/reading/writing, ignoring trailing commas and having comment does improve JSON IMO. I don't know why JSON is so strict in fact. Virtuall
