They are afraid of MS Store, locked on ARM devices and very probable to be forced later on x86 on another future Windows releases. And what if Apple make that move in the future with OS X, lock it to only use the App store. We don't know if that will happen, but it it happens Valve is dead in the water, at least Steam. This is a planed movement to use the current power they have with hardcore gamers and see if they can move them to Linux if things become bad for Valve in the future
Because it is a service that is started by the Mozilla binary. It updates and the exits. It doesn't stay running all the time. Ant this will work for the next update, not this one
Do you have set in the domain settings "New User Features" = "Rapid Release"?. I have "Rapid Release", probably this is the reason your domain is waiting that we beta test it
Wrong, I have it and it works (at least the Android client and web interface, I don't use Windows or Mac), enable doc in the control panel or request it to the domain admin, it is the same Google Docs permission
That solves the PIN entry widget, malware could hypothetical capture passwords from password fields, so those fields need to be protected too. The problem remain with apps that don't use native toolkits, so to add an API that locks hardware devices that could be used to capture sensitive information is enough in an ideal world. In the real world many app developers will simply ignore to use it
long term better solution is that OS fields for passwords and PIN keypads disable applications access to motion sensor data. If you are custom drawing a password field and not using the OS provided one, add an API to hide motion sensor data when you need it
So, you want Smalltalk code browsers. This IDE concept is nothing new, Smalltalk had that kind of code browising from the start and the concept of a live image where every code change is done in a live vm. The only thing I see new here is some "modern" "HTMLy" UI
The same kind of hacks those applications do, so you want the same thing that malware do without the malware part, so I pointed you to the search where the first and second application tell you that there is no API for that and that they some tricks (that works on some devices
So? The solution is kill security instead of improve it? If someone find a smart card vulnerability then we should remove all smart cards instead of fixing them? Stupid way of thinking. Hey a website has a vulnerability, just remove passwords!!!
Some of those games are not using a newer API like requestAnimationFrame. After it is more widespread, currently Firefox and Chrome, I expect some limitations will be added to setTimeout
The problem with pepper is that it is a code dump, now moved to the chromium repository, it isn't an spec, behaviour changes every time Google updates it. If Mozilla were to waste waste resources to allow more closed plugins infect the web at least gives them a spec, if every browser embed the same code, then why have different browsers?
This is the same reason why WebQL died as an standard, the spec said: must follow Sqlite version x.y as the SQL dialect., or something like that. Mozilla and Microsoft rejected that because it force an implementation
do you read the article or at least the summary? New Firefox release have a bug that breaks perfectly good code, your response. I am tired of Firefox updates, I use Chrome. Do you really find that answer smart when you know that Chrome updates with the same frequency than Firefox. It is like saying researchers found a vulnerability in Chrome and responding: Yea I am tired of that, I use Internet Explorer
So? you don't notice Chrome autoupdates and that means you aren't receiving new code with possible new bugs? just yesterday Chrome was released, do you apply the same treatment if the new hardware accelerated canvas break your site because a bug breaks a charting library you use? double standards, if you whine about Firefox fast updates, do it for Chrome too
at least with Firefox you can download from their servers old versions temprally until the bug is fixed, or revert to the ESR version, Where can I download old Chrome releases if Chome 18 breaks an important site I use?
And doesn't Chrome auto update the same way that Firefox? every n weeks?
I think the real solution to the Firefox and CHROME TOO fast releases cycle is that they must follow something like the Fedora cycle and the Aurora Firefox version: release Firefox 11 and 10.1, next update release Firefox 12 and Firefox 11.1. Allow people to stay on the previous version always. Any critical bug could be fixed for the next cycle by reports from people that want to use the biggest version number. OR just kill Aurora name and call it the bleeding version, not many people uses Aurora to discover those bugs earlier
What is more secure? a Smartcard of a file certificate for user authentication? a SIM card contains keys that are in theory only available inside the hardware and the operator servers. Changing to a pure software solution is like replacing your corporate authentication infraestructure from a Smartcard to a USB drive with your keys
using Unity? so the real news here is that Unity must be crap on Android because that must be the work of the engine developer. Why do they write about different textures types support on each handset and things like that? Unity must be able to abstract all that if they want to be called a cross platform game engine
...it's impossible for you to determine that. For one thing, you can't magically know about remote emergencies that require a person to be called.
Or he can not predict when someone/something hit him on the head, how will he deactivate the jammer when people is calling because he needs assistance?
I don't know about others, but my tablet has an option to disconnect from Wifi and 3G enabled Android tablets has the option to disable data. When I really want to read I disable Wifi (no 3G version) and read. Probably it is difficult for some people to use that options, but it should not be hard to write an Ebook reader app with an option to activate a "Do not disturb mode"
but but how we will get those CSI like scenes where people zoom in a lot with perfect resolution in order to obtain the evidence, don't you want to catch the criminals?
Hopefully the update to Android 4.0 is not delayed too much for that phone. With 4.0 you can disable entirely an application, even base applications and those added to the ROM by the manufacturer
I think the problem with setting it by default will killed it from the start, all corporation tracking users would have ignored it becasue it would have killed all their advantage. At least this way they accept to honor it because they know not everyone will know about it, it is an acceptable compromise, now our work is to teach more people about it

Versions are not decimal numbers!!!!! what number is 2.8.4?

ohh please stop trolling and use the Market/Play search box

For that to happen, you first need a standard. Ask that to the countless ARM licensors, I am sure they don't want to do that
