You remind me of someone who walked around near my university who proclaimed the moon landing and many other things (including the pill and faster-than-sound speed) was a hoax. He also managed to find all kinds of symbolism and connections with numbers in current events. And he gave around these pamphlets with lots of bold and underlined text and semi-coherent ramblings.
Actually I think every/. reader already thought about the ideas of the summary least I did. Briefly, then thinking "it's probably encrypted" and not bothering further.
I would find it a huge shame if someone managed to ruin this project, by the way, and that person will be quite universally disliked...
A camera implies a color screen. A color screen implies games. A camera also implies video recording. I see your point, but leaving out video recording if it can take pictures, and leaving out simple games from ANY phone, is just stupid.
I think they just try an experiment. Who cares that one version is disliked by users, this has happened so many times already anyway. They still sell the previous version and they'll make a next one after that in which they'll do what the users want again, like Windows 7 was (disclaimer: posted by someone who has not actually used Windows since the XP version so may have no idea what he's talking about).

It's stupid to need an add-on for an essential UI component like a status bar. The fact that the FF developers chose to remove the status bar (just like many ohter UI designers of other programs unfortunately) means that it's a second class citizen now. I personally really like a status bar in a UI, e.g. if you hover over a link, I prefer its URL to show in a status bar rather than rendered over the page where it may obscure exactly the text you're reading (e.g. if you use search in firefox, it tends to scroll the page such that the word you searched for is exactly in that very spot).

Cool. Means more enjoyment for me in the future if I need to do this in FF.

I'd say: Users are alienated because their browser is called something like "Tumucumaque" and does not have the fox in their favorite Linux distro. But anyway, this is no longer the case in Archlinux, it's the past, it's called Firefox by default again so problem solved.

Nice! Never noticed that, it's a rather well hidden feature...

Now I want to have some overview again, but I also wouldn't want to close those 50 tabs just in case I need to revisit one of these things later.
So I'd like to store these 50 tabs somewhere and hide them from view. And then have an easy way to recall them all again later.
It actually looks like the Panorama (CTRL+SHIFT+E) thing someone mentioned here in Firefox is exactly this. So my problem is solved! At least in FF, now I need it in Chrome too:)
The Panorama is a really hidden feature in FF though, that's why I never discovered it so far... Apparently it's a small button in the top right. It also doesn't show the name "Panorama" so the only reason why I know it has a name is because of the guy who posted it here. Also not very good is that you need to discover that doubleclicking on the grey background is the way to create a new tabgroup. There's no button called "new" or no right click options. But for the rest it's cool, I'm glad I know about it now!
Love: It can browse the web (yeah!). It's multiplatform. It's well maintained. It's up to date with the latest standards. The "3D View" feature in Inspect Element. The many good plugins.
Hate: A single tab can hang the whole browser. No convenient way to view an image with the wrong MIME type in the browser anyway. Too little and dumbed down settings. No more status bar. Still no good debugging tools, and the plugin Firebug is unhandy and annoying. The weird branding thing they do that caused Archlinux to not call it Firefox but various other lame names in the past (are they for open source or what?). No more innovation (why not try things like multiple tab groups or so instead of "innovating" by removing stuff from the interface?). The Android version sometimes crashes and once made the whole phone reboot after a crash.
So you have two particles which are entangled. One is moving fast, one is moving slow. You measure one, and you then get the speed of *both*? How does that work? Does the measurement instrument have two dials?
Also, maybe the entanglement itself is worth the extra energy:)
Then it's probably more difficult to use SDL in the so called "easy" Visual Studio, because in Linux all it takes is adding -lSDL to your compiler flags. Half a second of work.

Working on? Don't the tactile solutions exist for over a century already? Buttons, wheels and handles.
As computer vision and hardware evolve, life might get better and better for the blind. That is, until bionic eyes become a possibility :)

If the read/write head fails, it will make a really really terrible scratching sound against the spinning electron!
Visually, you don't really get fast useful information out of it, it's too hard to map a certain part of it to exactly which 11 regions it contains...

Personally I'd enjoy other things more than a car, but I guess if you're into cars you consider them worth living tighter for 8 years :)
I'm wondering if 911 wasn't ready all the time, but expecting the explosions and waiting for them to finish before coming closer?
Waaaw, nice video of the crash! And immediately the action in the first 10 seconds of it. Well done!
Too bad for the money and work that went into it. But then again, this is what tests are for, this result helps progress forward as well.
A statistic where they measured out of 6 fonts which one made you *agree* to something the most.

More variety, more competition.
Plus, actual users of desktop PC's will be more advanced users so we might get less dumbed down software too!
I also have a THz wave receiver. It's called "eyes".
I also have this device capable of producing THz waves. It's a lamp.

Erm, this post was typed from Firefox...
Actually, what I need is this:
Say I have 50 tabs open.
Now I want to have some overview again, but I also wouldn't want to close those 50 tabs just in case I need to revisit one of these things later.
So I'd like to store these 50 tabs somewhere and hide them from view. And then have an easy way to recall them all again later.

I don't know! They're asking us a What If question! Are we commenters supposed to write an essay about it now?
Today, Chromes debugging tools are better than Firebug in every single aspect.
Oh yeah, I missed one: its slowness.

I'm probably missing many things :)
Nothing new here. Move along.

Go design some awesome CPU's and bring back the competition between Intel and AMD!
