e.g. Just open youtube and play any video. Now, Chrome Task manager shows three 'processes' - each with memory footprint and CPU usage - One for Browser, one for Tab, and one for Flash Plug-in. You can not kill the Browser process, but you can kill any other.
For more details, you can type "about:memory" in the URL and see what's going on in more details.
Er... I too thought this was a feature of Picasa (desktop), but the summary is really really bad and misleading - the feature is actually in Picasa Web.
You do not have to do anything if you already have pictures uploaded there - just enable the option in the new updated user interface (this option is not on by default), it may be a while your pictures are scanned (23 mins for me), and then you will be able to start playing with faces and tags.
And it actually is great tool for managing (and non-destructive basic editing of) your pictures (unless you are a pro and in need of production house pro tools).
I have been Picasa user even before it was purchased by Google, and it has been pretty good for everything I need to do with my personal pictures (over 20000 now).
This is a big update - not only face recognition, but a lot of new tools are added or enhanced. Now you can even make/edit movies (basic, but good), which otherwise was view-only till 2.7.
The statistics Engadget reported was for traffic to their 'main' site from mobile devices - but you conveniently forgot that they redirect most of the mobile devices to m.engadget.com, and that the statistics ignored it? Because, if they had included it, your "95%" would come down to less than 5%.
Also, if Engadget is anti-iphone, then pigs must be flying nowadays over your head. Just like other replies mentioned, they have banned most of the posters who were critical of iphone - it included me too.
Laugh as much as you want, it's just like watching an idiot laughing at his own poop and comparing how shiny it is compared to somebody else's.

Google still has your browsing history nicely tracked, stored on their computer, available for subpoena etc.
Do they say that in that link you provided? In fact, the link says something opposite. And they make it pretty clear what is sent to Google, when and how to disable it.
If you want to continue with FUD, that's fine by me, but you can help yourself by not weakening your own arguments.

It's a good start.
But in my 10 mins of usage, I have just realized how Firefox has spoiled my browsing habits!
Few points so far (remember - just 10 mins of use):
1. Cursor is going missing in Slashdot reply box if it is at the beginning of the line.
2. There are ads on./!!
3. Great debugging tools for developers built-in.
4. Unlike Firefox, no option for smooth-scrolling (I find it mandatory for large pages - especially on./)
Nothing is perfect when it comes to this. But they are the best among all 'free' email providers I have used - by miles. Now get in and flag them as spam - next time, you may receive fewer.
What a lame excuse! Just because iphone shits itself when it comes to security does not mean ALL OTHERS do the same. Go do some fucking research and come back later.
What is that competition you are talking about? For last three years, I do not have any choice other than comcast for "high speed internet". And this is central NJ - probably the largest urban sprawl in the whole freaking world.
I would definitely like to think that way too, but I guess Mozilla/Firefox deserves a bit more credit here. I sincerely believe that they are doing this for two things primarily:
1) To improve user's experience - even if they are using IE
2) More importantly, to do their part in better standardization.
From TFA:"The Canvas element allows web developers to programmatically render interactive bitmap images in HTML content.

Just FIVE? I remember seeing THOUSANDS of articles and news reports and live coverage on mainstream media on how "cool" and "revolutionary" this new thing is (without even trying out one) and how people are standing in lines for nights and days to get one.
So, in fact, this debacle is not covered ENOUGH by mainstream media until they do "live coverage" of how the updates are converting iphones to iBricks.
Sure, you can sell ONE chair only ONCE. But you can sell MANY chairs from the same design MANY TIMES, can't you?
While I can "build" many books from the original one in matter of seconds, it takes a lot of time for you to build many chairs just like the first one, and it's your problem, not mine.
How is this off-topic? Links to post on apple forums where users are complaining about "iphone reception problems" on a slashdot article about "what's the problem with iphone 3G reception?"
Oh yeah? Of course, you have not read about this anywhere else, have you?
How about the reports on Apple forums where real iphone users are reportingreal problems? And hurry, before they are deleted.
How complicated is the idea that people can not make calls from iphone? Even my grandma knows how to throw a phone against the wall when it does not work. She does not go to forums and defend how cool her new shiny phone is.

I think Chrome is actually doing exactly that.

It may just be true.
Never mind version number, problems are the same.
Because all the other phones/smartphones I have used have "just worked" even after firmware updates.

I guess "lack of imagination" fits better there. Inability to imagine you can actually call people from a better device.
