If you change your user agent string accordingly, you'll see that most of the examples work fine in Chrome, just not the first (video doesn't play) or the VR one.
You're right in terms of the politics, but Slashdot isn't a political lobby. Can we readers not distinguish ideas from a communist that have merit from those that do not?
After all, Thomas Jefferson was a slave owner and rapist, and Wagner was an anti-semite, but it doesn't stop most of us from selectively enjoying the portion of their contributions that weren't abhorrent.
The "sue everyone and let the court sort out who is guilty" attitude is ridiculous. Is there some kind of legislation that prevents this sort of behavior?
Isn't sorting out who is guilty what the courts are for? If they have evidence from network traffic that people were offering copies of their copyrighted material, are you saying that's not sufficient grounds to sue the perpetrators? If the lawsuits are frivolous, the defendants can countersue.
I'm guessing they have to launch lawsuits in order to compel ISPs to link the IPs to persons. I'd rather that legal action be required than we just make ISPs offer that info on demand.
Fox News will believe that scientists can measure the size of the ocean from satellite data, but start talking about temperatures and all bets are off!
Tethering's already supported on the 3G (even non-jailbroken). Ben.at proved that. AT&T just hasn't enabled it in their cellular profile. Why should we expect that the iPhone 4 will be any different?
Out of curiosity, what are the features that Chrome lacks that lead to it being significantly faster than Firefox, while WebKit supports more of HTML5?
I don't know about the hotels that offer free wifi, but Starbucks (that is, AT&T) makes you register and log in to use their wifi (and you have to have used a registered starbucks card if you want it for "free").
While Sullivan is free to criticize Apple for their proprietary software- and I wouldn't expect any less from the FSF- it is unfair to imply that Jobs is a hypocrite for his opinions on Adobe Flash.
Sullivan quotes Jobs, but he doesn't offer the full quote: "Apple has many proprietary products too. Though the operating system for the iPhone, iPod and iPad is proprietary, we strongly believe that all standards pertaining to the web should be open."
Jobs is admitting right there that Apple has many proprietary products, including iPhone OS. He is separating the OS from web standards, and while I agree with Sullivan that the web includes more than just HTML, I think he is stretching it to include the OS running on the device as part of web standards. The fact is that Safari follows open web standards (and developing standards), and Apple does not filter the content you can reach using Safari.
Sullivan's criticisms of Apple's walled garden are fine for what they're worth. Yes, Apple could, if they wanted to, filter content from Safari as they do for standalone apps, and being stuck using a proprietary system such as the iPhone can make it difficult to circumvent. But those complaints are the same general closed-source complaints that the FSF has been making for a long time. Steve Jobs ' letter did not say that everything Apple makes is dedicated to openness or user freedom- he was targeting his comments specifically about support for Flash in the context of Flash being the dominant format for videos on the web.
Slashdot Mirror
Damn... I blame Slashdot RSS/Google Reader for that.

If this were a story about an $11M parking fine, you guys wouldn't be screaming that the recipient had to pay it.

Did Jesus ride a Genyornis? We don't know, but I bet he did!
No need. They are unplugging themselves.

Except Google's not selling directly anymore are they?

... there was a cure for the brain tumors that result from strapping a cell phone to people's heads. iPod Touch anyone?
Why not just go to the store and look for yourself?
Something tells me the Code of Hammurabi wasn't subject to a lot of revision. It was, literally, set in stone.
...what with ecological oblivion facing the Gulf Coast.

You mean like in RTCW and Enemy Territory? Schnell! Schnell!
The one on your computer, your tablet, your phone, or your tv?
If only they knew how much their hardware cost to produce when they sold it with those features!
...Google just wants to continue using the chilled blood of babies to cool their data centers.
... for paraplegics, but I think I'll stick with my current thought-controlled interface: hands.
More like the Auschwitz of Sci-Fi.
There, I said it.
If only they could find a way to avoid treating a significant portion of their population like a leper colony...
