I am studying at university. Portrait is great for viewing most documents for print except when book chapters from the library are scanned in landscape in 2-page view. Landscape is fine for web pages that wrap text horizontally but not so much when they have fixed width margins for ads on the side.
When I was hiking around Lake Louise, Alberta the owner at the lodge I was staying at gave me a canister of pepper spray. In 5 days I didn't see a single bear and one of the locals said it was extremely rare to sight one and that I should feel privileged to meet one rather than spraying capsicum in her eyes.
So yeah, I'm all for arming bears if it means they don't get fumigated by witless tourists.
Why does anyone believe that the Skype codebase won't be subject to the same sort of attacks and vulnerabilities once it becomes part of the browser?
Because with plugins you're relying on a separate sandbox model from the rest of the browser.
I'd sleep more soundly at night knowing that the executable code used to make video calls through webRTC was running through exactly the same sandbox as other executable code such as asm.js. or that the inbuilt pdf viewer in Firefox (dog slow that it may be) was running with the same javascript security execution model rather than relying on an external engine (and yes Mozilla do have a flash implementation that works in a similar way to PDF.js)
There will be security holes in any implementation but there's one attack surface for the entire web platform rather than one for each browser plugin. And at the end of the day I'd rather trust Mozilla or Google to release timelier fixes for their web-browsers than rely on Microsoft's skype plugin to be updated.
So broadly I'm in favour of cross platform technologies such as video chat 'bloating' the HTML5 spec rather than relying on proprietary browser plugins.
Eggs are pretty simple to grow. My brother has 3 hens in his back yard. His two school age children help with egg collection and learn about sustainable animal husbandry.
21 eggs a week provide the family of four with a soft boiled egg for breakfast each weekday.
(Now I know people live in apartments but still...)
BYOD, whatever you like as long as it has dual SIM. Load whatever crapware work foist upon you via a "xen for phones" virtualized image that auto-self-destructs remotely if the device is stolen or you leave the company.
I'm shocked we can put a man on the moon but it's late 2015 and this still isn't a widespread thing.

some people like hamburger grease all over their touchscreen!

One landscape, one rotated for portrait.

Starbucks serve coffee now? :)
Can I remind everyone that Evian spelled backwards is naive?
Didn't Apple just release a $99 pencil?
PATH in Toronto is pretty cool - A subterranean city full of shopping malls and no need for an umbrella.
If you're going to the trouble of excavating for a subway, why not add walkways underground?

Which would make the screen exactly twice as tall, or wide, depending on perspective.
Can't USB-OTG feed into a hub powered by those 10000 mAh battery packs?
Don't you mean sonic sunglasses?
Power Over Ethernet?
I lost my self respect long ago.
'stupid people' want to interact with me and Skype was there to facilitate that.

Plugin Framework??? That is sooooooooo last millennium. We've killed off Flash, Java and the Acrobat Plugin because they were security nightmares.
Which is why I can't stand trackpads on laptops.
Middle click paste, selection of text, drag and drop are all dexterity fails on my part.
Well a number of Germans did migrate to Chile in days gone by, particularly to the south.
A 9.5 earthquake in 1960 destroyed an iconic brewery in Valdivia founded by Karl Anwandter 109 years earlier.
In space, no one can hear you scream because there are no microphones?

You and your puny Earthling beverages!
With 800% inflation, I think the Venezuelan experiment may have run its course.
Sorry, just reading The Politics of Star Trek article.
DonÂt forget Q, the omnipotent person/race.

Shouldn't that be A Mighty Wind?
If youÂre going to make a fart joke...
it's a crappy name designed to create confusion with NetBSD in any case.
Apple are no longer interested in maintaining xnu/darwin and see strategic benefits from re-basing iOS and OS/X upon FreeBSD?
