And I guess you can only use it with the intel super-bloat app which ships with your device, and has a trial of 40 days, after which it costs money, and needs an intel.com account.
Will there be free drivers or at least a datasheet?
36 is the "earliest version": https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/s.... So everything is still broken, and it needs at least till 40 until its reliably usable.
Its also a general issue of browser plugins dying out. Silverlight and Flash had a reason when they were created. The web didn't support the things people wanted to use it for. Browsers were immature, and every browser and every version of a browser rendered different results. In the past decade, the browser vendors and w3c have worked hard to create an unified standardized platform to work on. With this platform, plugins are just obsolete. Even today they are a major cause for browser crashes. With IE11, even microsoft has added a serious contribution.
I fully understand why they did the google layer. Its the only way to make money with android. And the google layer gives google control over fragmentation. And things do work properly even without the google layer.
Its also reasonable to centralize the push message system, as you/have/ to implement it via polling one way or another, and polling multiple services is bad, as most times nothing has happened.
OK, they published Android, but they didn't fork linux. Linux is a kernel, not an OS. And even if they forked linux, every distro has its own "fork" of the kernel.
For calling a scientific advancement a milestone you need to be either really sure, or have a bloating press. Einstein's theory wasn't regarded as "milestone" until the solar eclipse 1919. Are they already really sure yet?
If we had a truly cashless society would there be the possibility of the anonymous purchase as you can with cash?
Will cash remain to be anonymous? Right now every banknote has an unique number. The only thing for stores and banks to do is to band together and scan the money once when you get it from the ATM in the bank or as change in the store, and once when you pay with it in the store.
Technology repeats itself. Perhaps you see a message behind the surface? Do you know how often the letter "q" appears on slashdot? Do you complain about that one?
On the internet things are cool only a very short time. If it were about cooless, this would have disappeared a long time ago.
We aren't in control of our data or devices anyway. If anything has been shown in the past, is that everything we do with our shiny new devices is phoned home to HQ for further analysis. No way of being self-sustained. It could leak trade secrets. And the users don't care, so lure them with a bit convenience, and they are all yours. No need to get data from inside a suspect, its already enough to just ask google what he has asked google. Google may not be in direct contact with our nerves, but if we include it into our very own thought processes, it becomes part of our brain.
Without identity, you don't know if its the NSA, your ISP, or the actual site you want to talk to you encrypt with. Without cert warnings an ssl connection is almost as good as no one. Active MITM is not very hard if you already intercept all traffic, and you have a small industry that sells appliance cryptobreaking solutions.
It might be true that certs are overpriced in some cases. But that's what a free market is for. The current highly centralized approach makes high centralisation of security neccessary.
The current approach of "one CA signs", everyone trusts is a bad idea. The security is as good as the security of the worst CA. Let certs be signed by multiple CAs. Then the security of the most secure CAs involved counts. Or, try DANE. It enables TLD owners and IANA to fake you, but at least it requires server owners to publish their cert lists with a timeframe they want to use them in.
You should design an image format in which larger versions can use data from smaller ones. So when you browse the site with a small window, the small version gets downloaded, and when you resize, the larger version gets downloaded, and when you visit with a large browser, both versions get downloaded.

In this competition the involved countries will only lose.
Don't forget Webkit and Darwin. Does anybody actually use Darwin?
OK, they published Android, but they didn't fork linux. Linux is a kernel, not an OS. And even if they forked linux, every distro has its own "fork" of the kernel.
They didn't kill the Skype linux version yet: http://www.skype.com/en/downlo...
What has always puzzled me was how all this mitosis-invariant ageing isn't a concern in the germ line.
Yeah meant the nonsuspectibility to death, not the apple product for ghosts.

What affects the 1%ers today will affect the 99%ers tomorrow. This was true for Electric Light and phones in cars, and will be true for imortality.
Banks are already required to scan and report the serial numbers of all banknotes for deposits/withdrawals.
can you give me a reference?

This seems not very much. How do we know of them at all?

that slashdot wasn't affected by this.
use whitespace. Be warned, several problems have been reported when posting source code to the internet.
The guy that wrote the blog post (founder of twitpic) just tries it with another startup: pingly.
As it seems its not a replacement for email, but a new web interface, like gmail.
