What makes Opera Mini "not Opera"? It's using Opera's engine, it's made by Opera, and it's called Opera. It might not work like your idea of "Opera" does, but it's still Opera in reality.
But there's the fallacy right there. The default UI is not designed for you personally. It's designed to be as accessible as possible to as wide an audience as possible.
Are you saying that you know better than professional UX people how a UI should look, feel and behave?
You say they are contradicting themselves, but so are you. First you complain about how the UI will get worse because they are just following trends without considering usability, and then you admit that you just don't want Firefox to change.
Maybe I've just had bad luck, but the little pin that is supposed to keep the network cable in place always breaks on me. And when it does, the cable never seems to sit as tightly as it should.
Am I doing something wrong, or does everyone else have similar experiences? If it's the latter, using it as the connector for this new thing sounds like a terrible idea.
What the article makes up is that because of a couple of technical issues, an entire article is written containing nothing but spin, FUD and a made up "crisis."
As has already been stated. Wikileaks isn't about the truth, its about 'fighting the man'. It does so by leaking information thats damaging to the man.
Oh no!
The problem is, they aren't providing raw information, they are just providing information that supports their side of the story
And The Man is providing information that supports his side of the story. Looks like we have a beautiful balance then, doesn't it?
The 'murder' video was a perfect example of the true colors of Wikileaks.
Really? I agree that it was dishonest, but it's just one example. Apparently the only one people can come up with. At least they published the unedited video, which is more than The Man would do.
I'm sorry, but "Collateral Murder" was pure trash. And I say this as a huge Wikileaks supporter.
CM was directly misleading, and gave people the false impression that they were just gunning down unarmed people for fun. But the fact is that they saw weapons, found at least one RPG round on the ground, and the group was in an area from which US forces had recently taken fire.
While Wikileaks certainly messed up with "Collateral Murder", that still doesn't justify the crappy hit piece posted by Wired.
Also, what's wrong with anti-establishment propaganda? The establishment is usually the one doing the propaganda. And this is coming from someone who detests, say, 9/11-truthers.
Wikileaks' response to a shoddy hit piece is to expose the shoddy hit piece as a shoddy hit piece. Wired's behavior is unacceptable. Making up stuff as you go along is not journalism, it's dishonesty.
Yeah, just like you won't see any aliens or be abducted by them unless you actually believe that they are visiting us? You need to be "special" (some magic stuff) for it to work!
What's more valuable? 1.5 billion consumers with a very limited purchasing power or developed countries where eyeballs are actually worth paying for?
Isn't China one of the fastest growing markets? Aren't people getting more and more money to spend? Positioning yourself in China now is vitally important if you want to be part of one of the most important and profitable markets in the future.

Somebody on /. can say a lot of things. The question is if there's any evidence for it.

The article contains one correct fact: The submission form is down. Apart from that, it's basically a bunch speculation based on basically nothing.
Why, yes, it is.
And what does this have to do with OSS? Open standards and open source are two different and unrelated things.
It is? How can that be? Doing that doesn't make you "conservative" in the true meaning of the word. Conservative means conserving what we have now.
No true Scotsman, eh?
Proper tests have shown no difference between dousing and random chance.
Mozilla's profits are higher than Opera's... And how do you measure how profitable IE, Safari and Chrome are?
No, not just that. It also has custom commands, buttons, menus, panels, etc. You can combine these to do a lot of things.
What customization might that be?
What about them? You think countries without government health care are any better off?
Yeah, just like you won't see any aliens or be abducted by them unless you actually believe that they are visiting us? You need to be "special" (some magic stuff) for it to work!
A divining rod can, in fact, not detect water. Your comparison seems rather out of place...

Your fake Facebook account would be kind of useless because you wouldn't have all the friends of the real person.
So they just want more profit? If the gaming industry is doing fine and is profitable, why are tax breaks needed?
