That is true to an extent, but some features can be implemented more efficiently if they are built into Firefox instead of being handled by an extension.
Yeah, perhaps the American Red Cross will now allow people from Europe or who have lived in Europe to donate blood.
As of now, people who have "spent (visited or lived) a cumulative time of 5 years or more from January 1, 1980, to present, in any combination of country(ies) in Europe" are ineligible to donate; the time is even shorter (3 months) for the UK, all because of mad cow paranoia.
It seems there is an alternative solution to this problem - don't serve food, and airlines have adopted it for flights that are not at least several hours long.
Indeed. It really is an unfortunate trend. Going to 1366x768 is cheaper for manufacturers, and it seems most people don't care. 16:9 is a convenient way of selling less screen area for the same diagonal size than 16:10. Sure, people will argue about how widescreen this and widescreen that, but virtually all websites and documents scroll vertically. The only thing 16:9 is good for is watching HD videos without having black bars along the top and bottom.

Android, a nice free operating system made possible by Google. Charity? Altruism? I find that improbable. Google actually pays manufacturers to put Android on phones. I have an Android phone. Of the FOUR buttons on the front, one of them brings up Google search. There is no setting to change that.

It's not labeled at all, as you can see for yourself:

The smaller adjacent Gulf of Oman, however, is labeled.

I found it, or at least a similar picture:

Actually, never mind. This is a different related paper from some of the same authors.
Here is a better version if that paper -- the pdf is actually text:

Technology like this will make its way into first-person shooters! But really.. they should just get a wall-hack.
People already use search engines as a de facto memory prosthetic. Don't remember X, Y or Z? Just whip out your smartphone and look it up.
And you thought it was Microsoft...
Is this really worthy of -1: Troll? Perhaps someone more familiar with this can verify or dispute the claims presented.
No, DARPA will just license Apple's technology on RealityDistrotion ®.

Such a lively, relevant discussion!

Draw your own conclusions.
I'm already on the waiting list!
People are donating... so that he will fix the site.
That's pro! If I had mod points, I would mod you up.
If only that guy knows how to jailbreak, he'll be fine, right? Right??
Do NOT look into laser with remaining eye?
Wait, wait... do NOT aim laser at remaining universe?
This belongs in the Idle section, at best, but probably not at all on /.
Sounds pretty suspicious....
But don't listen to me, take it from wiki:
