they very well know that. its just the regular trojan horse to control the internet. it's like saying "its because of child porn", except its "to secure life critical infrastructure".
There's not many nuclear power plants which controls have a shared internet access as you might imagine, lol.
No, what they want is an internet where you are not free and equal, using any argument they can, and they will never stop trying.
encryption is nice, but its not the answer to everything. the major issue is in fact, bugs. and you can't easily prevent bugs. there are operating systems and security measure which are VERY good compared to what 99.9% use today, but they're not applied because there is no commercial gain yet.
anyhow, the point of their push for a 2nd internet is not security. it's control. Don't get that wrong. it has little to see with life critical stuff.
Alright I know, DNT is not supported everywhere, very far from it (and its voluntary), but ideally one should at least mention DNT. Google is supposed to follow it afair.
(except a very few that they knew would need update)
seem u become blind when whats written doesnt please you. i wouldnt be surprised if you searched for any addon from the list that were in the few that didnt work just to link it here, heh.
Actually if it had been called 4.02 im pretty sure people would be all over saying "Mozilla does not upgrade Firefox fast enough" "will be 1 or 2 years before Firefox 5 it sucks"
And so on.
The real issue is that like every product specially in the IT world if you have more competition that's also good quality, but you are not the newest kid on the block, users will report to you with bad PR. If you do make a mistake they'll also try to bury you with it as soon as possible.
Human thing I spose.
Imagine a new hype company came out with a browser as good as FF and Chrome and aggressive updates, some people would start trashing Chrome and FF about that too
im sure like the other 200 posters that said the same thing that you're aware than 99% of FF's extensions need no intervention from neither user of author to switch from FF 4 to 5. Also that they're called extensions and not plugins.
bug fixes and security does not matter. they would be released as minor releases like they always have been. also, no code currently is bugfree or security issues free no matter how much testing or though has been put into it. Chrome actually has a lot of security issues patched every single month. its upgraded silently tho, so maybe you didn't even notice.
That's incorrect. Those plugins which aren't plugins but extensions in fact (or add ons) have complete access to Firefox and can modify anything. This is why they are so powerful on Firefox compared to Chrome, and why they require restart and version check.
Firefox also supports Chrome-like extensions, which are as you describe, and guess what, do not require checks or restarts.
Developers should however use them when their extension doesn't require extensive changes to Firefox.
they did not break them actually. how about you get informed before you post aggressively then? FF 4 addons (plugins do not need update ever btw) have been marked compatible with FF 5 by Mozilla before FF 5 was released, so, no, they could not break.
I think what this means is not that projects get necessarily disconnected. It means that users don't like change. If you wanna change a project its often better to rename it and relaunch it - this can be the difference between success and failure. Unfortunate work-around for humans lack of proper perception.
Disclaimer: it doesn't mean all new stuff is always good, but it certainly isn't ALL bad and made to alienate everyone.
FF4 add ons are compatible with FF5 by default. Almost no plugin or addon could have been broken. They are compatible because Mozilla marked them all compatible by default (except a very few that they knew would need update)
Consequently anyone arguing that Mozilla broke addons/plugins has no clue what he's talking about.
Point noted. Actually meant "the people at Microsoft" this time, not the entity (it's still a fault), that said "it" would have worked there too both in meaning and grammar.
Microsoft would prefer to push Silverlight (which does not support OpenGL or DirectX (good call) but still does some software 3D)
That doesn't make them wrong, WebGL is stupidly insecure, because making it secure means you start to destroy performances by having a large layer between the graphic card and WebGL, while right now you're basically calling OpenGL.
In fact, except by using a proper operating system (such as singularity incidentally) and a proper, fully controlled messaging system between the OpenGL calls and the graphic card, there's no real way out of this. Poor performance in WebGL would not be acceptable. Poor security is not acceptable either.
Sex industry is like any business, there should no be so much shame about something instinctive and just human after all. This is just what society put in your head.
Does it matter? The point is, Google was once pushing technology. And now, they are not, at least, in these very fields.
None of your I-like-Google post goes against what the guy says. In fact, you're supporting his claims.
Neither are bad things - but I can understand an engineer who wants to use the latest tech or invent new innovative tech instead of using 10 year old stuff.
iOS5 current beta notifications actually SEEMS to be worse than on android. on android you have a clear all button, and else, clicking one event will clear it up (and optionally start an action)
on iOS5, you can dismiss one even but not all of them. Boring when you take ur phoen and theres 6 or 7 events (or more).

It's actually rather fast here, as fast as the native reader.
Somehow, its not as smooth in Chrome as it is in Firefox however.
the fact of the matter is that these people and banks control the world, so its a pretty important battle

care to read much?
pretty obviously if its just a few in the vast majority there's no issue
thats just a few % and thats the point

Uhm.
