It is saying the Google is slipping down the slippery slope of evil, ignoring massive negative feedback as usual, and demonstrating clearly why dominance of their non-open open source browser is a bad thing for everybody except Google.
Why don't you offer feeback on the changes? I did, and next thing I see is those exact issues being acknowledged. Now that there is a proper news article to comment on, I do not see how disrupting unrelated articles is in any way useful. Quite the contrary.
Zenimax announced they would not be licencing the rage engine to outside studios. They also said they wouldn't be using it for Elder Scrolls titles. Very strange they didn't just give John a blank sheet to come up with an open world engine to beat Gamebryo. I guess there must have been disgreements over direction. Big missed opportunity for Zenimax, and the community. Imagine an open world tech built to Carmack quality standards, with Zenimax content.
I get the people always complain about site changes and then quickly get over it when they figure out how to use new features.
Says you. Resigned to it, more like it, in the face of people with your kind of attitude that users just complain about changes, not changes that make things worse.
Well I can assure you, you do not have a clue what you are talking about. You are throwing around a serious allegation without substantiation and it is pretty disgusting actually. I am sure you have some twisted concept of what "substantiation means" and you will justify yourself to the ends of the earth. Bye.
You set developer mode in bios and poof, you own your device again. So far, no chromeos vender has locked that out, if they ever do then the devices just become training wheels for the internet.

It annoys me there are still people and govts. buying the rubbish arguments spouted by Microsoft and their ilk...
"Buying" is the operative word, but it's Microsoft doing the buying in this case.
Android, now.
Desktops and servers won't be going away anytime soon.
True, but desktops are becoming more like typewriters and servers are becoming more like delivery trucks. Consumers tend not to own either.
That's the point, nobody cares about PC operating systems any more, now it's all about the compute power you can hold in your hand.
Nobody said "jailbreak" yet.
So now, I get to watch 1/2 of what's available because someone doesn't like my choice of codec. That's true freedom.
That's true whining. Install the proper codec.
The whole issue is about idealism, not practicality.
What is practical about freedom?
There's only one Slashdot.

another one... I don't want to see "three days ago", I want to see the date and time like now.
Sure, and similarly, laws should not be written down in legal language, they should be distributed in comic book form.

Whoosh.
Maybe you can explain to me why there isn't a news item for the beta, to provide a proper forum? Cowardice?

It is almost worth sending a request to the govenment of North Korea for the a copy of the source code as per the gpl's license just to see what
You do it, and keep in mind you will probably have to hand deliver it.
Linux is actually produced by commies according to Microsoft.
Well, at least there is something non-evil in North Korea. But it's hard to shake that icky feeling anyway.

Using Bitkeeper for OSS development in the first place was stupid, that was the issue.
You are a great comedian.
Fanless? Can I swap the SSD and slap Windows 7 on the i3 model?
If you put Windows on it (good luck with that) you will probably need a fan.

Sweet, I consider it a badge of honor that some Microsoft thug modded my post troll
what does Eclipse provide java developers which .net cannot?
Source code availability, for one thing. More popular language for another.
