As much as I hate it, there is huge demand for an app-runner...
You mean a crapp-runner. Browser native apps are nearly always strangely worse than native with fewer features, more bugs, more security holes and slower response. Being able to incorporate into your browser-based workflow is a plus, but usually that is botched too so that essential browsing functionality you would expect just doesn't work. For example, you should be able to open any link in a new tab but that just doesn't work in a lot of the fancy stuff.
Not that Microsoft is the only offender, far from it. (Gmail, we're looking at you.)
Teh google used to be #1 on every new grad's hope list. Now #2 and trending down. See, no company can piss all over its public image, disrespect users and flip the finger to the volunteer development community entirely with impunity, not even teh google.
Chromium Version 44.0.2403.89, Ubuntu 15.04. Changes "http://a/%%30%30" to "chrome://chrome/" and no apparent ill effects, including no crash. There is a reason why it is a good idea to let the Debian/Ubuntu devs do your QA for you.
This was in direct contradiction to the written instructions to the jury, and should have resulted in a mistrial, since the jury foreman brought outside evidence into the discussions.
Not a serious issue, a bit of money placed into the right hands fixes such details easily.
Well, here's further proof from just this morning: Google device manager was changed so that it now won't set a new Android device password remotely if the screen is locked, so if your wife forget her password your choices are 1) Factory reset or 2) Kill yourself. I wonder how much Jolt it took to come up with that one.
I have always regretted purchasing any device with an Atom in it, and I was stupid enough to do it more than once. Always the wrong combination of hot and slow. Did Intel finally get it right this time? I seriously doubt it.
...this problem has everything to do with shitty coding...
Understandable when you consider that most programming at Google is done by oversexed, overpaid interns still wet behind the ears. The name of the game at Google is to make it from intern to FTE so that your main duties become emailing, facetime and offsites, and your interns will do the coding.
The metaproblem here is that Google is less competent than they imagine to develop Android by themselves as they do. The short form of that is one word: hubris.
I guess you didn't get the memo that we make it our business to unlock that stuff. Nobody cares about Microsoft hardware, but Asus? Fair game. After all, that is why Linux rules the world today, because we got all that crap secret hardware unlocked/reversed or forced the vendors to open it up. Very few cases where that ever failed, and for some strange reason, hardware like that seems to have a habit of going extinct.
The problem with "monetize" is, the sense has become not just "make money from it" but "lock it up".
Worse is, words like "monetize" label you as a drooling facetime slither animal, right up with with "going forward" and "best practices". Just don't say "monetize" and people will respect you more.
Oh wow, apparently a slither animal had mod points
Slashdot Mirror
With Windows 10 at ~9% market share of desktop OS's, Edge is currently at ~2%.
For the moment, running behind Linux desktop. Of course, completely clobbered by Linux Android.

Edge Enables Embrace, Extend, Extinquish
I'm just very disappointed Marco did not take the time to shift the app to be something he was happy with, instead of just giving up.
That does seem odd, doesn't it?
Is there any possibility that Apple paid him money in order to reinforce his admirable principles? (Admirable for Apple, not the user)
You do know that Sid is officially unstable, I hope? Sid _is_ the QA.

I'm sure that given time and money, there could be a Windows variant that did the job.
That is far from certain. Microsoft's adventures in similar areas often end in tears.
In 5 years Linux will burst out of Microsoft's chest screaming.

it's more of an immoral victory than a practical one
Fixed that for Soulskill
What are you unlocking? Can you magically unlock a Chromebook so it can run ANY OS that you want? No you can not.
You don't know that.

Google's new motto: We're too smart to think.
I don't need further proof of Google's incompetence but apparently some people do.

Crazy like a fox
There seem to be a number of belly crawling haters crawling around with mod points.
Every hit on stallman+"feed your kids" goes back to some slithering internet troll on the landuke site. Credibility = 0, never mind you.

Slither animals hate being called what they are.
They appear briefly when a job begins, then reappear at the end of the job for a longer time, only if the job is completed satisfactorily?
I like LIbreoffice more than Word because it's free. Everybody I know likes free stuff.
Show me where RMS told anybody to quit rather than write non-free code.
