Here the deal. I live near a military base, two airports, a fault scar, and a great lake. We tons powerful winds and air traffic. So often we get UFO's making wide turns around densely inhabited areas. The local rumor is that the military is testing unmanned, long range, stealth flight vehicles. The crop circles are presumed to be caused by circular patterns similar to small localized tornadoes. In general there are one or two sightings a year the get documented and doesn't have an easy explanation. And no, I'm not one of those people that has filed one of those unexplained sightings. Still it keeps the dinner table conversations interesting.
Firefox OS was treated more like a project like NodeWebkit or Electron: A sand-boxed browser that calls custom external components that could be more sand-boxed browsers. It was inefficient and a memory hog for the hardware it was being designed for. The failure (misrepresentation?) of Matchstick.tv left a bad taste in everyone's mouth.
Its ridiculous that Android phone I bought a year ago will never get a security update. Or that I have to basically pay for a security update from Apple.
Both are / has a mobile version of their OS. Someone should branch it and get it working on commodity hardware. We need truly open source devices.

I have a 720 32" TV. Its good enough for the shows and games I play. Does that make me some how evil? The way marketing is going I feel that way sometimes.
I like the higher resolution picture but I prefer content. That might be why I like to buy DVD's a lot of the time over a BluRay. Same content and cheaper.
SpaceX has received more than $5.5 billion in government contracts and grants from NASA and the U.S. Air Force. The delinination of how much of that is free grants and how much is contract is not very clear. SpaceX starting price for any launch is $56.5 million.
This is just plain overkill on UI components. ost companies are more worried about bells and whistles then functionality right now. That's why tablets and phone apps became so popular. Everything was light, small, simple which desktops and laptops really aren't. That's also my Facebook offers a slim version of their application in countries that has slow network connections.
My guess is that the pendulum will switch away from native apps to something like Progressive Web Apps (God I hate that marketing term.) Light static websites that pull from RESTful service will become popular again. The base site will be 1 meg at most in size. Until thos ebecome as bloated as native apps. Then a new disruptive technology will come along and start the process all over again.
I would say a tablet that works by voice command. Think Amazon Alexis with a camera based around Facebook's services. You know like those Android camera boxes you can everywhere for $30-50.
It sounds like a Chromebook with a touche screen. Can't you get a Windows 10 or Android tablet now that does that? Are they just re-inventing the 'internet appliance for the late 80's to early 90's'? I'm getting so tired of rehashing the same old concepts.
iOS is built to run on a specific set of hardware with very specific set of camera components. Thier applications are compiled practically down to the assembly language level. You can easily be take it down to the bare metal programming level if you want. So you app can be highly optimized for speed and functionality because you are locked into a specific set of platforms.
Android takes more the Java approach of 'write once, run anywhere.' You can write and app once and will run on multiple generations of an OS and hardware. But this approach costs you speed and functionality.
And before you Android zealots go crazy, yes you can write Android apps in C++ and similar languages. But with the variety of hardware, especially the variants of ARM processors and MIPS starting to come back. To get bare metal compilation done a developer practically has to write a different version of the same application for every platform.
For example I have cellphone that uses almost the same hardware as a dev board I have. My cellphone runs great for making calls and basic web browsing. But the same phone can run a basic word processor for on the go notes. The dev board can be way more productive running the full OpenOffice suite.
Samsung gets around this issue by writing platform applications, like the camera apps. It optimized for the processor and the application. While the DSLR may be dying, the concept of specialize hardware for photography will never go away.
YouTube has been free since it was created, Why pay for Red or YouTube TV when for the same price you can get Hulu and/or Netflix? Maybe that why subscriptions are flat.
Google Music is terrible. I was listening to stream and it kept pushing a style of music I don't like to me. The more I thumbs downed the style the more it played. Once its said I ran out of skips I knew it wasn't listening to my requests. It was just pushing was the record studios were paying Google to play.
I'll stick with regular YouTube because it knows what I like. And I'll gladly pay $10 a month for IHeart because it remembers what I like and don;t like,
I disagree. Twitter was great for its time: Text out comments in 140 character or less from my candy bar phone. As times changed Twitter really didn't. Then instead of dealing with spammers and bullies they shut down their API's and made things harder for long time users.
* The 140 character limit is just plain silly anymore * They don't have a solid version of more modern apps like SnapChat or WhatsApp. * Better flow control / Better lists - If you subscribe more then 3-4 big feeds forget seeing anything substantial. Some news site pride themselves on putting out a store or comment every minute. You can use lists but they've become so clunky. Give me something like Facebook that lets me switch between more viewed and the whole steam * Open the API up again - You killed off hundreds of legitimate website but made it easier for spammers
BTW: What is with the swipe at Trump? Does Trump own Twitter or does Twitter support Trump? Neither is true so this was an unneeded political swipe and click bait. Can we step away from this tripe and stick to the facts.
No Electron and it's parent project Node Webkit (aka NW.JS) are complete stacks for building desktop applications with a NodeJS engine integrated in. Chrome Apps had a much more restrictive sandbox and ask for permission to do things.
I'm actually curious about this, yes. Could you please give me your take on it?
Sure my take comes down two main reasons for no continuing support for Chrome Apps:
1. Maintaining Chrome App's sandbox was getting harder after the switch over to the Blink engine.
2. Android for Chrome - I believe Google though this project was going to replace the Chrome App engine. But the project seems to have stalled.
So now Google seems to be pushing PWA which really isn't using anything new other then a manifest wrapper and worker processes. Worker process have been around for a while, just not widely used because of teh complity and client load.
I could turn static website or WordPress blog into a PWA in a matter of minutes. But what advantage do I really get?
BTW: what are this big Progressive Web Applications out there now? You would think Google or Microsoft would have created there own version or GMAIL or Outlook.com for
If you boil a PWS down it's just a website/webpage that has a manifest and icon in its root folder. Just about everything else is preexisting technology. The only real advantage is that you wrap a browser window around the site and make it work more like a desktop app... like what Chrome Apps use to be. Ever wonder why Google / Alphabet abandoned that technology?
Sounds like a variation of Body Integrity Identity Disorder:
Body integrity identity disorder (BIID, also referred to as amputee identity disorder) is a psychological disorder in which an otherwise healthy individual feels that one is likened to others who are clearly, obviously disabled because of amputation in the latter case. BIID is related to xenomelia, "the dysphoric feeling that one or more limbs of one's body do not belong to one's self".
BIID is typically accompanied by the desire to amputate one or more healthy limbs. It also includes the desire for other forms of disability, as in the case of a woman who intentionally blinded herself. BIID can be associated with apotemnophilia, sexual arousal based on the image of one's self as an amputee. The cause of BIID is unknown. One hypothesis states that it results from a neurological failing of the brain's inner body mapping function (located in the right parietal lobe) to incorporate the affected limb in its understanding of the body's physical form.
You only change oil 2-3 times a year. Grease is changed every 1-2 years, Plus both items its much smaller amount then a single tank of gas. So yes, all electric vehicles will hurt BP.
Also how will this affect trains? Rail primarily use diesel fuel.

Like CNN, MSNBCS, OANN, Twiiter, Facebook, ect. ?
So he sterilized the devices so the couldn't reproduce the same traits in future generation. Where have I heard that before?

Umm, did you read the next two sentences:

Wouldn;t the cycle be:
* Carbon builds up and increase heat
* Ocean evaperate
* Carbon and other particalate form clouds
* Rain scrubs out the carbon and the cycle resets
Also, are we coming out the Little Ice Age? So the heating is mostly natural?

More like a competitor to the Chromebook. They're just pushing 'Facetime' as the premier app.
