While many were left wondering, Google tells me that the company has no changes to announce with regards to the 20 Percent Time program; killing Labs doesn’t mean the discontinuation of the one day a week Googlers get to spend on “projects that aren’t necessarily in [their] job descriptions.” “We’ll continue to devote a subset of our time to newer and experiment projects,” Google representative Jason Friedenfelds tells me.
If you were one of the first to get it, Apple released an early buggy version for the first 2 hours roughly. There was a better version available, but not used for the market until 2 hours after launch.
It looks to me as if this is a good way to bring forward information google already knows about you, but in doing so, making it as fun and potentially social as possible
Downloading the exe for putty got me v.60 - i then went back to look closer... the installer got me.61 but I didnt get any options on what all i wanted to install so I got everything.
The price isn't so bad when you consider you are able to sell it back to them after

Since in power, here is a small list of Harper Government actions...
Shut down parliament to stay in power (more than once)
Obscured access to information, removed media access rights to politicians
Puts out favorable press releases saying "Harper Government" instead of "Government of Canada"
Forged documents to cancel funding
Withheld information about F35 and prison program costs from parliament
Trying to copy America in ways that even Americans are learning were huge mistakes
Fired Veteran affairs ombudsman for sticking up for veterans
Non-stop attack ads. Media manipulation.
G20 failures
Scrapped long form census
Tried to remove a law which would prevent news organizations from lying to us
Cut funding to the court challenges program. This program gave various groups and individuals the financial ability to challenge federal legislation, including cases related to the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
The list can go on. The secrecy, lies, and anti-democratic actions stemming from this Harper government needs to come to an end. Don't waste tax-payer money electing another conservative minority. End this now.
There are always secrets and lies, but the number of things Harper has done or tried to do to change Canada from what I have grown up in to some other monster is unprecedented. Your vote can help make sure he does not get the chance to keep it up.
If nothing else, vote to make sure there is a minority government. Or, if you find a candidate or party you actually like, vote for them... at the very least you are giving them $2 and saying "keep trying."
I just upgraded, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to take the tour. I click on everything and nothing actually does anything. Then I looked through the javascript and found out the link to enter the tour, eventually got to a page that loaded, but then none of the tour steps on that page worked. Also, loading up that "welcome to ff 4, what's new" page looks like garbage in every other browser. The exact same, but garbage. I know it doesn't NEED to support anything besides FF4, but why doesn't it? What is so unique to FF 4 that it cant at least display in chrome or opera?
Assuming usage stays fairly constant for each user per month... wont think eventually bring down their average usage over time? The first month, top 5% are scaled back, and you assume as the throttling continues into the next month, they will no longer be the top users. So then there is a new top 5%... and these users are using less than what last month's top 5% used... as they get carried over in the next billing cycle, this continues until it hits some threshold...
Really it has more to do with the fact that they did it for Tungsnia, so they have now just implemented it for other countries
The evidence that accounts were being hacked remained anecdotal. Facebook's security team couldn't prove something was wrong in the data. It wasn't until after the new year that the shocking truth emerged: Ammar was in the process of stealing an entire country's worth of passwords. [...] Sullivan's team rapidly coded a two-step response to the problem. First, all Tunisian requests for Facebook were routed to an https server. [...] The second technical solution they implemented was a "roadblock" for anyone who had logged out and then back in during the time when the malicious code was running. Like Facebook's version of a "mother's maiden name" question to get access to your old password, it asks you to identify your friends in photos to complete an account login.
I agree, Google says "we will not sell this through our app store" whereas Apple says "you cannot have this app." There is no reason to liken Google to Apple here.
Actually it does, the description text is hidden until some user actions are taken. A ctrl-f on the page may not return results for the terms, but viewing source and ctrl-f does.
This is what makes sense to me. They are for open solutions. They are also for solutions that make everyone's life easier. Right now, flash is a solution that works on essentially every browser and platform, and it is trivial for developers to set up websites using flash to serve videos. If in the future, we have an opportunity to move forward, why not move forward in an open fashion which will ensure that lives are easy for users (cross browser/platform) and developers (no worries about patents, easy to implement) again.
I suppose his point was that 50 million was given a chance to create interest that it otherwise would not have created. The 50 million, ends up paid either way, but in one way generates a substantial amount of interest. Who is to say, however, that this interest was greater than the legal fees of the trial. That is another question.
That's the PATRIOT ACT for you... there is a reason any public body or even many private companies in Canada no longer allow any data to go to the USA. Never mind the ability to take private information, the fact that by default the law says you cannot inform the user... it's frightening. Even small things, like my university which uses those stupid iClickers had to set up an authorization server locally because the are not allowed to send student data into the states any more.
someone knew what they were doing. I have never seen so many of my friends update their non-current data that was now brought to the forefront. It's almost like they had a problem, nailed out some requirements, and properly engineered a solution.

They are offering ".5" scores... if you count the total pass/fails in the detailed description of the scores, IE should only have 3.5/4
http://groups.google.com/group/android-building/msg/6410b44798c19d61?pli=1 it has been partially released.
Don't forget, when looking for an innovative browser feature that you need implemented, look no further than Opera, because they already did it.
http://www.opera.com/support/mastering/kiosk/ Opera kiosk mode has plenty of features that would work great for you.
Well said. They also dislike software patents, and their dragonfly (developer tools) project is open source https://bitbucket.org/scope/dragonfly-stp-1
If they kill it, you can easily download all your content and use it to move into a new service.

Suggestion was to delete and reinstall.

HTTPS at facebook's scale is not insignificant.
