hsbc.com -asks for login name on insecure website.. otherwise a B
I'm not impressed. My ~$10 a month Dreamhost account can get me a B rating (with SSL kindly provided by https://www.startssl.com/ for free). And if they were running a newer version of Debian, I think it would be an A.
1 year? 2 years? I really want manufacturer's to start having a public EOL date at launch. I'm tired of buying phones and having them go into no-update land...
And probiotics after taking antibiotics makes logical sense.... I remember a study that showed that our natural bacteria wasn't at the same level 1 year after taking antibiotics (please don't use this as an excuse to not take antibiotics). If we have the right probiotics available to us is a different story. My wife just got antibiotics and the hospital recommened probiotics...

> You want Windows Phone 8 to die so consumers have less choice?
I do want more choice in the phone space, but I don't trust or want it to be from Microsoft - or for that matter propriatary. Why do you want Microsoft to have more control of our digital lives? They have more than enough. Competition works best with a bunch of small players in a market.
So yes, I really just want an actually "open" system to actually be given a chance to shine*. (I'm currently holding on to my Palm Pre Plus which still rocks, but is slowly dieing). I'm currently thinking about getting a Firefox OS device [2], but the specs are SOOO bad compared to my Palm. If I could get it without a dataplan w/ AT&T, I would have already purchased it.
I think the new gen of open source phones that are coming have a better shot (in that the company will actually try*!). Firefox OS, Ubuntu Mobile, Jolla, Tizen.
..many sites still need to be updated to work with it. Likely some behind the firewall stuff as well. (And many of these sites break in IE10 and Chrome as well)
I proposed turning the streetlights off at midnight in my town but I don't have any US based examples of that working. The fear is that it will be less "secure".
Slashdot Mirror
I was just using https://www.ssllabs.com/ to check out some financial sites:
amhfcu.org : F, supports insecure SSL 2.0
tdbank.com - A-
republictt.com/ - not the local bank.. apparently uses java.. .ugh..
republicbank.com - powered/provided by intuit - A-
sjfcu.online-cu.com - B - due to not supporting TLS 1.2. (used by likely a few cu)
bankofamerica.com - inconsistent - B, A-
wellsfargo.com - B - due to not supporting TLS 1.2
paypal.com - A- uses mixed content on home page.. really?
secure.ally.com - B - TLS 1.2 capped
https://www.chase.com/ - A-
hsbc.com -asks for login name on insecure website.. otherwise a B

I believe you are thinking of Trademarks.
How about $100?

Just FYI, the DRM is only being added to desktop Firefox. Not Firefox OS at this time (they did somewhat leave this open, but have no plans).

Can anyone show me some doc on how long the Open C will get official updates for?
That's one way to increase the FCC's productivity..
I'll trying to get an Installfest setup at the local library to help XP users migrate to Ubuntu.
It's the entire existance of the Creation Museum. To be fair I would like to see them get rid of that one aisle.
Whole Foods is doing a lot of really good initiatives, see:

And they don't just say blindly yes God said so to questions like "Is Organic better for you?:

https://talky.io/ AFAICT is a fully free software video chat system. Have you used it? Would you recommend it to others?
It uses http://simplewebrtc.com/.
No.

Is it Google? Is it the consumer?
They are right that the data will have a lot of power over you in these situations...
I browse with SSLv3 disabled... and https://archive.org/ only supports SSLv3... why? Most webservers have supported TLS 1.1/1.2 for ages now.. right?

(To summarize, they are usually fine - usually 0-1 clearly marked sponsored results per page)
how the update story is contracted to work and for how long. And is there a contingency for if the manufacturer stops wanting to update the phone?
Anyone else think it was going to be a revision for where they are today? On the burning platform that is Windows Phone...
Seriously, I think they are a recoverable company. They gave Elop three years to destroy them... Why not give me three years?
Are you sure that's your sig (Save IE6), or was that the end of your argument :)

* Nokia gave open systems 1 release after saying it was a dead platform and then switched to Windows phone. HP gave up on their TouchPads after 2 months of sales.
* You don't have to install apps to use them.
* If they can pull off the update schedule (which they need to) it's going to be much better than Android for updates: https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2013/07/19/mozillas-heartbeat-quarterly-firefox-os-releases/
* We need at least one more Open phone option

Basically it prevents loading active content (JS/CSS/etc) from a non-HTTPS source when the page is HTTPS.
Also, if you are a HTTPS Everywhere user and wondering why sites like XKCD and NYtimes are no longer HTTPS, this is why.
