    It's the Two Minutes of Hate, brought to you by Emmanuel Goldstein.

  4. Chrome consolidates a dedicated search field and location field into one bar, the 'omnibar.' Firefox doesn't do it quite yet, but there is an add-on for it called Omnibar, though it works best with autofill (or as you call it, second guessing).

    Is this the Presto-based Opera, or the Webkit one that's a Chrome skin that you're talking about?

  7. Re:And the question of the day is... on Could Google's Test of Hiding Complete URLs In Chrome Become a Standard? · · Score: 1

    I saw Firefox 29's Australis overhaul more as grabbing the good things about Chrome, and adding its own flair, like the drag-and-drop customizable burger menu. Currently in the mockup phase is also a drag-and-drop customizable context menu.

  8. Re:really??? on Reason Suggests DoJ Closing Porn Stars' Bank Accounts · · Score: 2

    Every government agency is moving to national security is their objective. It means a bigger budget.

    Might this have anything to do with those supposed leaks about Windows 9 and 10 being increasingly cloud-based?

  16. Re:He should be nervous. on Mercedes Pooh-Poohs Tesla, Says It Has "Limited Potential" · · Score: 1

    To all the people commenting about being successful without a college degree, how and when did you get your foot in the door? How might someone who's not too far out of high school get even a helpdesk job without a degree?
