Mozilla is also actively exploring this problem space. In fact we’re working closely with Mozilla engineers to unify our two proposals into one simple, useful API.
Is that FOSS enough for you? because I would think that the Chrome team is part of the FOSS community, but you apparently do not.
It's not "We need to control all the phones", it's "If we make phones that default to use search, we make money". MS was not trying to raise revenue with IE, they were trying to prevent another company from it (though honestly, the thing they did really terrible IMO was with the APIs, Netscape sucked bad by the end, but abusing undocumented APIs to squash is real bad).
And Google does not have a monopoly on search. Unlike MS, they do not have over 95% market share, and there is nothing preventing you from using a competitor over (software compatibility for MS).
When I hit the search button on my Android phone (it's an HTC with sense) in my "Web search" box I have Google, Bing, Yahoo, Wikipedia.
If (and it is a big if) Google is losing money working on Android there may be an argument that it's unfair, but I doubt it is. My guess is Google is making money, which means it's just good business.
I don't like to grind for eternity, but the game really should of been developed in such a way you had to do a little leveling between main quests (no auto difficulty).
The side-quests could be done auto-leveled, so you don't need to wander around looking for an easy enough dungeon, but I don't really know that I like that either.
The auto-leveling just made all progress feel worthless, defeating the purpose of a leveling system.
Game started easy and stayed easy on easy mode, and started some-what hard and got impossible on hard mode.
Doing side-quests actually hurt your chances of winning with the difficulty set to be hard enough to be worth playing at the start, and never to doing a couple side-quests make the next main mission easier, unless you started with the game too easy for it to matter.
I also found that Oblivion and Morrowind felt smaller than Arena (when walking between towns), but there was a long gap between when i played them and Arena. Part of the thing about Arena though was that it was years before games came that felt as large and open. Playing in an open environment in a first person type perspective was amazing in the mid 90's.
I don't mind ALT being in a program, but it can be somewhat annoying, and anything with WIN key goes to OS/WM (WIN+ALT or WIN+CTRL), and anything with CTRL+ALT goes to program.
It's not that I really care, but in OSX it's been a real problem for me, Windows and Linux have decent separation (even though they are theoretically less controlled).
We get most of our gas (90%) and coal (we are an exporter) locally. The US does not have plenty of oil, nowhere does really, and the rare-earth discovery is in fact new, but with a huge land area, and a few different types of geology in the country it shouldn't be shocking that it was found.
The most annoying thing about OSX is the lack of OS specific keys. Periodically a new version of OSX will stomp on shortcuts used by Creative Suite and Quark.
In windows, and as time goes on, in Linux, the Windows key is reserved for the OS, so the apps can safely use control (and to a lesser extent ALT).
I like having 3 modifier keys, ALT manipulates current window, CTRL for commands to the program, WINDOWS for commands to the WM.
In the great depression we built awesome parks for example.
This is better than breakking windows. In the downturn, taxes on business (breaking the windows) to employ software developers to devlope a public good (FOSS), and then when recover there is more money to hire them for real work (as software becomes cheaper).
Fair enough, I use Linux as my primary OS as home, but am hardly a part of any community (I have one friend that does the same, and is in a similar situation), we both use Ubuntu, so I guess my actual in thw wild stat is 2:0 ubuntu:fedora.
I would honestly say my primary browsing device is either my work windows vista computer, or my android phone though.. it actually shocks me how low the phone numbers are for the web browser stats.
Also surprising to me is that iphone users appear to browse the web twice as much per phone as android users (looking at browser share vs phone os share).
I personally think browser access to a website is a valid metric, and has the benifit of counting dual boot machines as a percentage of each (including boot camp).
I see 850000 in two months after a release. I will make the assumption that is clise to half the users, putting you at 1.6 million.
Additionally, ubuntu is unlikely to be more than double fedora IMO (based on my assumption that a/. User is a typical linux user, and the comments I see).
Also, I think ubuntu one is installed on all ubuntu installs (I could be wrong, but I remember a link on my clean install.
I personally like ubuntu one and think it's fair, the new phone app for files is great (I like that it uploaded all of my photos easily), and the cloud music is pretty good (I wish it would group songs with guest artists into their album though).
It's not the cheapest music cloud, but it's cheap enough for me, and it worked without a special upload, which I understand to be a requirement for amazon.
I hope that the 1000000 means they have enough paying customers to keep it going, at the price of 1.5 usb drives a month (the type without a wall outlet) it is a little steap for backup outside of important documents and music files for me, but it is a great way to get access to what I need effortlessly where I need it.
I pay for a 20pack and the mobile. it leaves a little to be desired (I'd really like to see a plugin for a music player to play out of the could, so on my computers with small HDs I can play from the cloud, but sync and play local on others). But it is quite funtional on my phone.
It's also not as cheap as Amazon's solution, but it is open and accessible (note, they recently included a free 20GB for the $3.99/month music service, so it may be cheapest).
I for one enjoy the the savings of not having to buy everything hand crafted, and often to higher quality (don't tell me a blacksmith with a hammer can crank out car paneling as well as a robot).
I mean, my dad's stereo which was a decent one and a value for the time cost as much as mine does, and it was 30 years ago. That's a lot inflation adjusted.
I bet I can get one that sounds as good for double, maybe triple what I payed, but it wouldn't be worth it to me.
When the tea party stops trying to impose their morality on me perhaps.
Currently they have no real sense to them.
The backman's live off of government money (our evil government funded medical programs and farm subdidyy)I wonder how motivated they willl be to cut things.
Additionally as government shrinks you need more lawwsuits , yet nobody that supports a reduction of goovernment wants to make sueing easier or more attainable.

I bet it's even easier if you search "desktop" or maybe "backgrround" in the settingds app.
I though kde4 was ok from 4.3, and 4.6 was the first that was really good (no crashes on my laptop, or graphical curuption).
I am willing to bet with the new changes it's now really good (clean up of open gl).
Slashdot Mirror
This isn't true in general. A car hitting an immoveable object is generally equally safe by weight, the bigger car has more energy.
In two car accidents it makes a huge difference though.
And honestly, what's the savings, we do all sorts of risky things to save money (like drive over fly).
I wonder if Mozilla is involved?

Also, Android has a revenue stream.

The auto-level balanced was terrible.

source of that info?

I agree about Win key.

Better than breaking windows is useful work.

This is better than breakking windows. In the downturn, taxes on business (breaking the windows) to employ software developers to devlope a public good (FOSS), and then when recover there is more money to hire them for real work (as software becomes cheaper).
That's the most broken windows thinking I've seen in a while.
I would argue though that it can be bad for the US economy, as software is a pretty big export.
The real hole in the plan, is that is that as more people do it, the odds of a jackpot hit go up.

Where do you get ten to twenty million?

I'm more curious how many are paid.
I pay for a 20pack and the mobile. it leaves a little to be desired (I'd really like to see a plugin for a music player to play out of the could, so on my computers with small HDs I can play from the cloud, but sync and play local on others). But it is quite funtional on my phone.

And don't kid yourself, you're never offline, you fucking nerds.
I'm guessing you don't travel, busy hotels often times don't have internet between the hours of 7pm and 11pm (2-4 second ping and 5-25KBps).
I doubt it would be stable enough to work with this, and yes, when working away from home, I do like to play on my laptop for a stretch.
But it could be expensive.
I mean, my dad's stereo which was a decent one and a value for the time cost as much as mine does, and it was 30 years ago. That's a lot inflation adjusted.
I bet I can get one that sounds as good for double, maybe triple what I payed, but it wouldn't be worth it to me.

I thought the clone wars non-cgi animations were the best part of the new bits.
Grevious as an undeterable jedi killing robot was actually a decent villain.
They can robots.txt, to work google needs a copy, if they don't approve they'd a solution.
Price is per click, or per impression, the market:$ ratio willl be the same, 72% is hardly a monopoly anyway.
Yes, to use google's screen realestate, you have to do business with them, but there are alternatives (I see plenty of non-google ads at sites).
If advertising is the market, it's less of a monopoly than search.
Or they can use bing.
