If I recall, they are using the WebCrypto HTML5 standards in their HTML5 implementations today. They use a plugin on Chrome OS, but only because those extensions aren't yet implemented in (non dev versions of) the browser.
On that note, anyone successfully get it working in Chromium, preferably by enabling those extensions in the dev version?
No, I'm not talking about the overheating problem, I'm talking about the fact that using a 3rd party charger is allowed. If my HP laptop is anything to go by, I would have expected it to just detect you are using a non HP approved charger then fail to charge.
Given what Alan Mulally had done for Ford as CEO and Boeing as a senior VP, I'm shocked he's not the front runner. He helped lead Boeing's resurgence against increased competition from Airbus, and then made Ford the strongest of the big three automakers and the only one able to weather the storm of the Great Recession. It would seem only fitting that he would be picked to lead Microsoft as it attempts to reinvent itself against growing competition.
The main strength of Windows was its ability to maintain an impressive amount of backwards compatibility. A few applications aside, things I bought 10 years ago still work on my Windows 8 x64 machine (without virtualization or emulation). To attack two well entrenched competitors Microsoft went in guns blazing without what is historically been the most compelling feature of Windows. I have an MBA, and even I saw this coming...
This is really the main reason I'm still on an iPhone, despite being a mostly Linux fanboy. Apple is able to push software updates without having to deal with carriers' machinations, while Android requires both the manufacturer and carrier to be on board*. Apple has also supported the devices I owned for a minimum of 2 years from their launch.
*(I'm aware of Nexus devices, however due to some licensing issues there are no Nexus Verizon phones, and Verizon as a carrier is a requirement).
The important thing to remember is in a competitive economy, someone is going to disrupt your business. It might as well be you. Fighting against it only postpones the inevitable.
Unfortunate to hear the SoC can only talk to up to 512MB of RAM. I have one of the original Pis with 256MB... how I'd love a GB or more (call it a model C).
The terms of service for Straight Talk prohibit you from tethering, and they tend to get really cranky if you use more than 2GB of data (even though they say they are unlimited). Depending upon which type of SIM you grabbed when you signed up, you are either on AT&T or T-Mobile's network.

Action without consequences are impossible, yet that tends to be the modern Atheist's goal.
Nice strawman. Please, tell me more about my goals. As for "uncivilized behaviors", I regard a proper mix of the gold/platinum rule that I try to live by (treat others how you want to be treated/how they want to be treated) as far more civilized than any "civilized" behaviors I see as the result of any major religion.
WOW! Didn't those without an electrical infrastructure invent and construct the one we have today? Didn't people who had no internet invent the computers and internet and create it's infrastructure?
Just how do you suppose they did that while waiting tables? I learned a lot of skills before there was ever an internet, but I guess it's because I'm smarter than you. I like the internet, I really do. But saying it's as essential as education just shows you to be a product of publik eduamcatin.
People who don't have internet access will not be a part of creating what comes next, just as those who did not have electricity were not part of those who created the internet.
Just give me a basic 42-50 inch monitor with speakers, a few HDMI ports and an ATSC tuner. If I want internet functionality, video conferencing or other features, I'll get my own add-on box. And when the software is no longer supported (what makes you think these TV manufacturers want to support this stuff for long), I can dump the box and get a newer one for much less than the cost of a brand new "smart" TV.
To me, the only truly smart TV is one that divorces the advanced functionality from the TV.
Don't forget the tiny hard drives. Time Warner's best DVR as of a few years ago only had 120GB of space. I bought a TiVo, and promptly dropped in a 2TB drive. I have multiple seasons of multiple shows on my DVR in HD, and it isn't even close to full. I love it.
Just a thought... I still wish Cannonical would have put its resources towards helping make Gnome Shell better as opposed to taking its ball and going home.
Thinking longer term helps you understand the difference between a necessity and a basic human right. 100 years ago, freedom of speech was a basic human right. 100 years from now freedom of speech will be a basic human right. 100 years ago mobile broadband was not a basic human right, and who is to say it will be around (in current form anyway) in 100 years. I suppose we could have labeled the telegraph a basic human right 100 years ago, but that would be considered preposterous today.
Of course Straight Talk still is beholden to AT&T's limitations (you can't tether without an extra fee on AT&T = you can't tether on Straight Talk, you can't use FaceTime over 3G on AT&T without an extra fee = you can't use FaceTime over 3G on Straight Talk).

How does killing killers make us any better then the killers themselves?
So they're letting design decisions for their phone interface dictate how they implement their desktop interface.
You mean Ubuntu is about to adopt Metro?

QuakeCon is in Dallas (was in Grapevine last year I believe).
He's religious and intolerant, so obviously his favorite OS is Emacs.

Only a mother could love that comment.
HP...
Never again. Their business end stuff may be good, but their consumer grade stuff is cheap low grade crashy garbage.
...with digitally signed firmware that prevents you from swapping out hardware to change the crashy garbage nature of it all. Fuck HP.

And guess that AT&T and Verizon manage to get about 290MHz of the 300MHz. At least after this they'll be rasing their data caps to 2.1GB.
Will it contain blackjack and hookers?
