Sigh, it's 2012 and when I write a piece of software now, I'm still not sure it will run everywhere. In fact, I'm not sure if it will run tomorrow on my own system. That's called progress?
HTML5 is so complicated from a browser implementor's point of view that we can say without doubt that there is absolutely NO implementation that adheres to the standard. And there probably never will be.
W3C should have made HTML5 simpler and more internally consistent, not more complicated. Primitives need to be simple.
In fact, HTML seems to be targeted at the novice, while forgetting about the needs of experienced developers.
It's the modern equivalent of the phone company playing a recorded message while you are talking to someone on the phone.
Yes, entirely spot-on, but what Facebook and Google are doing is the modern equivalent of massively tapping conversations, and nobody of importance seems to have a problem with that.
This "Brydge" product looks an awful lot like an Apple keyboard. Sadly, I just have to wonder how long it will take before they get sued.
Further, on a different note, I like crowdfunding, but personally I would like to see "crowdlobbying", or "lobbyfunding", so we can get those pesky copyright laws out of the way.
You're not even allowed to run a version of OSX you own inside Vmware or Virtualbox:
From Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion), Apple allows full virtualization of its operating system, provided that it is installed on Apple hardware which is also running OS X 10.7.
Given this, I can't even begin to imagine how Apple would feel when somebody starts implementing their APIs.
What I liked about the previous mozilla javascript engines was that they supported multithreading. That made them suitable for web-server use. In contrast with, for example Chrome's V8, which is not suitable for server use (unless you are prepared to spawn multiple processes instead of threads, but this is very expensive performance-wise of course).
The most realistic problem with AI is that it will take away labour. This should of course be a good thing, but in reality it will enlarge the gap between rich and poor. Thousands of years of scientific progress, and one company running away with all the profit.
But still, bing can give back a set of links that contain additional information about the search (made by DDG). When you click on one of those links, the website to which you are directed then knows about your search, and then the website can bubble you.
The rule should be quite simple. Any organization that gathers data can't share it at all with anyone not directly connected with the reason it was gathered.
The problem is that companies get bigger and bigger. Soon, your e-mail company IS your power company IS your telco, etc.
the insane part is feeding private parts of your life to the internet, and then whining about a lack of privacy
When you call a friend on the phone and share some information, you don't expect the phone company to run away with that information.
So why should a social network be any different? Yes, I'm sharing information with more than one friend, but (at least in my case) certainly not with the world.
I totally don't see where the confusion comes from. Big data is not allowed to use my information in any way I did not intend. Period.
Slashdot Mirror
One framework to rule them all
But for Android and iOS support, we'll have to wait until late 2013.
if it weren't for Apple and Google we'd be screwed in a never ending cycle of XML/XHTML/ crap
Indeed, thanks to Apple, we now have "apps".

Attracting your attention in advertisements?
Of course, authors can use these tools too, and then iteratively change their texts until they cannot be correctly identified or profiled.
Just like spammers can check whether their e-mails ends up in spam filters before sending them.
It will be a never-ending cat and mouse game.

2012 and still no platform independence...
Btw, anyone here who knows when iTunes comes to Linux?
Their screens are still assembled in Asia.
So is their memory.
So is their cpu.
etc. etc.
So what does "Assembled in the USA" actually mean?
We're all just at the bottom of a big Ponzi scheme. Watch this:

Indeed, if they were smarter, they would have become lawyers.
Indeed. Way too much visual clutter.
This might just as well have been a microsoft product.

So I hope they support multithreading.
Bah. Real enthusiasts use discrete transistors.
Fallacy. Because if Apple had the money upfront, they might have done A, whereas now they have to do B.

Or perhaps it was a garbage patch, like this one:

Imagine such a robot being able to catch flying bullets. That would make one heck of a bodyguard.

The entire domain system should be scrapped in favor of a similar system like newsgroup organization...
Meh, DNS lookups should be replaced by simple google searches altogether.
Who uses the url bar anyway?
Why not:
amazon.bookstore
...
amazon.warrior-women
amazon.river
apple.computer
apple.grocerystore
apple.musiclabel

Perfect audio quality: you get CD quality audio WAV files
But... we want full multitrack recordings, so we can remix the various tracks to our own taste.
This is a site for DIY nerds, don't expect them to just buy music and be happy.
