You don't want this feature...don't use it? Simple concept, no? Facebook already has other mobile features (ie, notification via text) if you choose to signup for them.
And yet again, you still miss the point. The article states that the scope of HTML5 is so huge, that it will be difficult for browser developers to fully secure their browser against exploits. The scope of HTML5 makes securing the browsers more difficult, and as a counter point, they compare it against HTML4, which was far simpler, but exploits are still being found to this day.
This in no way suggests that HTML5 sucks or is evil, it is just something that people need to consider.
Unless in your original point, by developer you meant Firefox, Chrome, Opera or IE dev teams and by application you meant the aforementioned browsers, then your point was, at best, vague.
You misread the summary; the article is not about an idiot developer building an insecure application that compromises the developer's server's security. It's about malicious developers building seemingly benign websites that compromise a user's home computer
"Yeah, hi. Can you please change your workflow and the way you've been doing things for years that has worked with no problems just because I can't be bothered installed a free program to open your PDF files? Thanks!"
Looking at Fido's escalation process, 'Step 2' is where it fails all the time. The last time I had a problem that customer service couldn't resolve, I asked to speak to a manager, wherein the rep replied that all the managers were in a meeting and no one could take my call. Every single one. At the same time. And no one could field problems. Took my number down and said a manager would call me in 24 hours. When no one did, I called back, and once again I got the same line that every manager was in a meeting and no one could take my call. That time I insisted, and my rep managed to grab a manager who was 'walking by'. Yeah right.
That's because the CoreVideo API didn't allow to read back the rendered pixels, which the Flash Player kind of requires to be able to put overlays (with transparencies) if needed over the video.
You really think Adobe didn't use an API because they "didn't want to"?
Why stop using an API if it's still available and it still works? If Apple has kept them open, they're open for a reason.
And hey, if you want to go down that road, Apple recently criticized Adobe for being late to the game porting their apps to Cocoa. Guess who makes iTunes, which is still stuck in Carbon land?
Apple only recently provided 3rd party API access to hardware acceleration for video in Mac OS X 10.6.3.
Six days later, Adobe released a beta preview of Flash Player 10.1 with hardware acceleration for video.
So really, is it Adobe's fault? Or is it Apple's fault for locking down their OS and access go important APIs?

I'm holding out for the Notion Ink Adam...it's Android based, and uses a Pixel Qi display, which is basically an e-paper like screen that supports colour and video. You can turn on a backlight so it's like a regular LCD, or turn it off for e-ink style reading. Should be coming out in June.
I generally just avoid websites that have annoying ads. If they really value their ads over their content, I don't really care about their content.
I generally like how Opera does it. Ads are allowed by default, and if you see an annoying you can just right click and block it!
I ran the Vista beta on my 1 gig machine (ati radeon 9700 graphics card) and it ran quite well. One thing is that Acer's bloatware tends to be absolutely horrendous in bogging down the computer it's absolutely disgusting they decide to throw all that crap in there...and it's Acer's own software, not some demos or trials that other companies pay them to throw in. I can't fathom why they would do that, and pretty much refuse to buy an Acer laptop because of that. They even threw it in on their netbook!
Regarding the recovery partition...one of the bloatware apps (Acer Recover something or other) can burn a recovery DVD disk out of that partition. You can probably redownload that app off their website to burn the recovery disk and throw Linux on it if you want.
Because I have to unlock my iphone to get it to work on my network. The one app I use that needs jailbreaking is one to disable the Edge on my phone, since I don't want to pay for data.
Don't worry. A whole ton of crap programs in the marketplace isn't a symptom of it being open source. You should see the gems on the iPhone Appstore. The choice of fart apps is outstanding.
Using jailbreaking as a justification for the iPhone's limited features doesn't really work. I have an unlocked and jailbroken iPhone, but I almost never bother to install any jailbroken apps. Everytime Apple does an update, I have to re-jailbreak and reinstall the jailbroken apps I downloaded. It's annoying.
It's so we have an excuse to flame Microsoft, as per usual.
I really have no problems with multiple versions, however...I do think Microsoft needs to cut down on the number of versions they had. The need for 'starter' is for netbooks or 3rd world countries, sure. Other than that, there should be just "Home" and "Business".

Umm, the whole point of this login system is not to use your original password at all. Avoid keyloggers/malware on computers you don't know/trust.

Opera is cluttered? Any extra features you don't use are disabled (ie, if you don't use the built-in mail client, it's not running).
It's kind of hard to say avoid PHP and that it's not worth learning anymore when one of the world's largest sites runs on the damn thing.

Doesn't work properly in Opera 10.5. Hooray for progress!

What you described is the behaviour of every company I've tried to cancel an account with.

Goldeneye.

Didn't you hear? Congress is too busy these days. They don't have time to do any of the trivial stuff.

Someone needs to recheck their math.
84 / 24 = 3.5 days of downtime.
3.5 x 50,500 = 176750 tweets lost in a year.
Not that it matters, since it's useless.

I was NOT prompted when I logged in. Also, where does it say passwords are not encrypted?
