Apple had a point, that they were cooler. They were saying, "hey, we are different". How does what Microsoft's saying about Google not apply to it? MS doesn't care about your privacy any more than Google. With the Snowde

Wow, didn't expect they were selling merchandise. This is a new low even for Microsoft. Microsoft were never considered to be a company which puts ethics over money, and this just shows that they are jealous. They would do worse if the

Dash, sometimes, is horribly slow. Rest of Unity has gotten usable, but Dash is a pain even now. Canonical should really focus on it's performance since it's the most important part of Unity experience.

I like having them separate too, you can use the Omnibar add-on https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/omnibar/ to have Chrome-like functionality.

I use the Nightlies, and am really digging the new stuff that's coming in. What I want the most is, a DevTools-level universal shortcut to focus onto the Web Console prompt. I know that C-S-k is the Web Console short-cut, but when focu

Yes, they do. These laptops are not different from their Windows counter-parts. They were manufactured/assembled with Windows as the target OS, but in a country like India, where financial feasibility is a major factor, providing optio

Is there a mass CoffeeScript-answers-to-JS-Questions taking place on SO? Without even pointing to some instances of CoffeeScript-ers arrogance/mischief, ranting like that is not a nice thing to do.

I think you should first explore Computer Science in general. You should start with a good programming language, a high-level, beginner-friendly, very web-favored one. Pick Ruby or Python. Then grab courses on Algorithms, Databases, Compute

This is a totally bullshit way of managing a FOSS project. You should never remove working code from a FOSS project if someone is already maintaining it and that someone represents a major chunk of your users. I hate that Ubuntu guys are mo

Yes, I got that. Here's my take on it, which might contradict most of the stories out there. I don't think the many number of such recent cases is a new occurrence. It's just that the media is using 'Rape cases' as

I think the rush to make everything 'web' is primarily because we finally are building an open, free, accessible, write-once-run-everywhere platform. That's the most exciting part of the web, and privacy is a bug we still hav

The product description indeed is a bit vague, though you get the gist of what they are trying to accomplish. You might want to ask more specific questions instead of just ridiculing them. Some of us are not good at PR and those of us who a

This is a far better mockery/attack on Google's strategy than Microsoft's Scroogle campaign ever was. They should learn from this. I especially loved the cute & funny one-liners. (Not that I support Scroogle, it's a

I love Ubuntu. Been a fan from, lets see, 5.04. It's been a long sweet experience. But lately I've got many areas which I vehemently disagree with them. I guess the most important issue with Ubuntu nowadays is the one of privacy.

I can't help but wonder how such a system can be practically implemented. I cannot imagine that engineers at companies like Google, Apple, MS etc, the ones working on stuff like Gmail, YouTube, iOS, would co-operate with such unethical
