I hope these kind of studies reach the ears of Apple and Google so that they may push for 100% HTML5+JavaScript based webapps.
Currently, specs exist to use just about any feature imaginable from native apps with JavaScript, but a lot of them remain unimplemented.
I understand their business decision. After all, it's much easier to take a piece of the cake when you control 100% of the distribution. But it's not fair to the user or the app developers to force everyone into making sloppy native apps.
I ordered a Raspberry Pi Zero in February, and I'm still waiting for it. Instead of "enhancing" it like this, how about delivering on your promises and actually making / shipping them to people who ordered them?
I don't see why this is news at all. Let's Encrypt is a great way to allow any webmaster to offer a TLS-protected connection between his users and his server.
As a user, seeing a website using a Let's Encrypt or StartSSL certificate does not tell me anything about the legitimacy of that website. All it does is guarantee that my connection won't be intercepted through a MITM attack. Personally, I never "just trust" the little lock icon in my address bar: I click it and see who signed it. Then I make a decision on whether or not I trust that website with my information.
The problem I see with this is that it gives every company a "Get out of jail free" card. You can make millions of profit from selling customer data... as long as you don't get caught more than once!
I'm pretty sure they got more than 200'000$ profit from selling this information.
That fine is ridiculous, the executives probably had it as just another line on their expenses budget, right under "coke, strippers and champagne - 300'000$"
Google introduce a useless, obstrusive feature no-one uses!
Are they going to remove the profile switcher button now? Seriously, who shares a computer with enough people to warrant having a button like that breaking every UI standard out there?
The article is interesting but fails to ask the most important question: what is Microsoft doing about this?
It feels like they're not doing anything. Just another sign of the impending death of Windows Phone.
Wow! Who would've thought? A dumb concept by a designer with no notion of engineering turns out to be nigh impossible to realize!
I guess that tells us something interesting about the power of bullshitting on kickstarter-like websites. I remember seeing this project a few years ago and it had this "social crowdfund" aspect to it, where it had to get a certain number of shares/likes to be "considered", or something.
I laughed a lot when Google aquired the project. I'm laughing even harder now.

... I'm still waiting on my Raspberry Pi 0 ordered back in January.
I'm sensing irony here, but I honestly don't get what you're referring to. Care to explain?

But iFixit's guide is probably an ad itself. It certainly feels like it.
I know a few turkish people personally. They are on that database and I can confirm with 100% certainty that most of this data is from 2009.
Still a dick move from the hackers. It's really irresponsible.
I like how all these types of articles always assume aliens have the same primitive tech as ours.
Just think what a 10'000 years head-start would give to a civilisation! It's ridiculous to assume they'd be fooled by us.
That article sounds suspiciously like an advertisement for Denuvo. Low content, high keywords, no research...

At least Apple allow you to make the upgrade. Buy an Android phone and you're toast after 2 years, with no update possibilities.
Wow, you sure get angry about a joke!
So does UTF-8 encoding apparently
I think it's going to take time for humans to get over the "gross" factor of eating worms.
I mean, even the woman on the promo photos looks disgusted by what she's seeing. Great marketing there...

Thank you for this. I also never understood why they felt they had to roll out their own thing. Just use the existing notification APIs in the OS!

This is exactly what I was going to say! If you can live with the "visible once and gone forever" concept of course...
Slashdot video is of bad quality and has always been. Feels like a trip to 2003.
You sure are angry about programming languages!

These robots are cool. Let's hope they work better than this Congolese rocker: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
