    Shame. I'm guessing that they aren't taxed the hell out of like they are in the US?

    If you want a lightweight browser, Chromium is an even worse choice. Get something like Konquerer. Way lighter, and they are implementing a few (necessary) addons like userscripting.

    I've been using 4 for over 6 months :-/ Firefox 5 is going to be out in a few months. And some of these features will be implemented in the nightlies soon.

  7. How to tear about an android app? on Pirated Android App Shames Freeloaders · · Score: 1

    On that Avast page, they got the source code somehow? How can I do that to see what apps are doing? I know Java but not really an reverse engineering or security things >__>

  8. Re:!apple on Google Pulls PSX4Droid For Sony's Xperia Play · · Score: 1

    As someone who enjoyed playing emulated games on his 1st gen ipod nano's touchwheel (16 bit color 176x132 1.5" LCD, 32 KHz ARM), I have to disagree. My 3.7" 1.2 Ghz Droid Incredible plays games wonderfully.

  9. DMCA BIOS violation? on Google Pulls PSX4Droid For Sony's Xperia Play · · Score: 1

    I know that most nintendo emulators and such are able to work without using the system's actual BIOS, but doesn't PS emulation require shipping with Sony's copyright-laden BIOS? I know that it's pretty easy to rip the BIOS from your own PS, but I doubt that this app supports doing this, and probably just ships with the BIOS.

  11. Re:How are costs lower than S3? on Amazon Releases Cloud-Based Music Service · · Score: 1

    you get a year free of extra 15 GB (so 20 total) if you buy an mp3 album, and those 69 cent albums work. 0 cents for the first 5 GB, and then less than 0.4 cents per month for each GB up to 20 GB total is pretty slick :D who knows if that promotion will last for the second year, though.

  12. Re:Windows Live SkyDrive on Amazon Releases Cloud-Based Music Service · · Score: 1

    50 MB file limit, amazon lets you upload 2 GB. And upgrading Amazon to 20 GB is only 69+ cents a year, and includes a free music album: http://slickdeals.net/forums/showthread.php?t=2793945 And Amazon's servers are really nice, and the interface and streaming is nice. And free storage for all purchased songs :)

  14. Re:Nicer performance, but... on Firefox 4 Released! · · Score: 1

    It's great as a default, since on a smaller screen customizing is more of a hastle. It really doesn't take that long to make it look exactly like Fx 3.6, or anything in between. And it's not as bad as Chrome or IE9.

  15. Re:Nicer performance, but... on Firefox 4 Released! · · Score: 1

    lol, colours sucked out? getpersonas.com Or use one of the many themes, as you've realized. And, no, it's not copying Chrome. Most of the influence is actually from Microsoft (the Fx button, the tabs, etc.) and Strata 40 (the theme) has been out since 2009. Minimalism is actually a lot better for productivity. And it's great for netbooks--having no statusbar and everything else in the title bar gives you a lot of screen real estate without having to shut everything else off (F11)

  16. Re:All good except DirectWrite font rendering. on Firefox 4 Released! · · Score: 1

    It all depends on how your windows install is set up. Try doing the ClearType config thing. Or just turn off Windows' crappy DirectX stuff. There's also an option to switch to openGL. Or just don't use Windows for web browsing :)

  17. Re:Sad on Nintendo 3DS Battery Is Quick To Die and Slow To Charge · · Score: 1

    Lots of planes have outlets, and this is a lot better than what my PSP gets. My flights home and to school are only about 2 hours (1000 miles), though, so both would be able to hold me down for most, if not all, of the flight, in the case that I don't have my charger on me.

    My netbook is 1024x600, and having a statusbar blocks crucial links on my homepage. I'd have to scroll down (not as fun when you don't have a scrollwheel)
