or could propel it to double-digit market share, thus making it ‘relevant’ (a ‘win’ for the open web)?

anyway, i never heard arguments against facebook’s technical prowess, only against ethics/policy/actions..

i also ‘like’ opera, or at least the ‘existence’ of opera, especially on mobile..

and i also don’t really ‘like’ facebook, or at least don’t care enough to use it..

but this might be good for the open web. another strong competitor (facebook-backed opera would be stronger) to almost-monopolies on desktop (IE) and mobile (webkit)..

you are right, i’m sorry. it was a combination of partly loosing perspective, and partly expressing myself poorly.

the availability and ubiquity of computing today (also internet, google, wikipedia) is amazing, and world-changing, i must admit that. but sadly, that’s only the consequence of computer hardware production economics of scale and Moore’s law.

i was talking about new interaction ideas. there is not a single thing we routinely do on computers today that isn’t present, at least in prototypical form, in that demo (except for touch, which while much more practical on the go, isn’t that different/better/more expressive than a pointing device).

where is VR, where is 3D, voice IO, gesture IO, mind control, where are all those things in our day-to-day lives? or if all those paradigms are not practical or feasible, where are new ones?

also, i want a chord keyboard.. ;)

the results are different for me.. 1) has the verge 1st on google too, and 3) has doesn’t have the verge first on either engine.. were you logged in? it seems google just knows me better.. ;)

also, other searches that didn’t have the verge as 1st, had some other story (seemingly totally unrelated) from the verge in place between 2 and 5. weird? maybe those stories from the front page are just too new, and ranking hasn’t settled yet?

also, i wasn’t searching for exact titles of the verge articles, i was testing general keywords related to the stories..

DOTT was better..

the one from idiocracy seems much more likely..

and yet, there is not a single thing in the app store that does you zero good? ;)

you might wanna check out the video above (it talks about security issues in both android and iOS). also, you do understand that every single (untethered) jailbreak uses some security vulnerability that could also be used to (remotely) root your device, right?

as opposed to iOS that doesn’t have antivirus software because apple says you don’t need it..

also, the verge is (more) often the first link on google, so that makes it the better search engine in my book.. ;)

except that google results show “2 days ago” at the beginning of the snippet whenever the query looks like you are searching for some news-type event..

so, now you can’t unsee it! ;)

this Thompson guy:
1) was the only one who argued against fair use (and managed to persuade two other)
2) was the only one asking additional questions and hoping for some “meat” from Oracle
3) was the only one arguing for patent infringement
4) doesn’t even own a smartphone

and he was the foreman..
google should ask for a mistrial..

this should just add more fuel to the fire of anti-competitiveness of browsers on WOA..

or is this just x86 only, the (source) article doesn’t say?

Hamburg.
brag.

as the old adage goes, don’t read my comments if you don’t like them..

what’s even more, don’t waste even more time by replying to them.. ;)

(i was joking about smelling the flowers, and also quoting the guy in the video.. ;)

anyway, i didn’t say they should dismiss all the positive feedback, just not be fooled by 50+ comments yelling how this (4,500 words+10 photos+4:30 video) article is amazing, 15 minutes after it was posted..

lol, after i finished furiously typing my latest furious screed, i realized i need an edit button just as much as Paul needs an editor..

anyway, i call BS that you didn’t understand me. most Paul’s features feel overwritten to me, often stating (and re-stating) the obvious, and i don’t think they bring enough insight to justify half an hour of my life..

and don’t be fooled by all the people yelling “this is amazing” as it’s clear that most of them didn’t read it. you should add a metric to your analytics software that tells you how long people spend on a page before they comment, and anything less than 30 minutes for something like this is a failure..

Just take a break and appreciate the article in its entirety.

it’s contradictory.. the article is encouraging me to get off the internet, stop and smell the flowers.. ;)

really? what’s so great about a 5000 thousand words? couldn’t all that be said in 500?

Paul needs an editor so bad..

MPAA is not an agency it’s a motion picture industry trade association. Calling it an agency makes it sound like a government entity and is inaccurate.

in reality it’s even worse than just inaccurate, MPAA is actually nothing more than a “front” for a bunch of studios: Viacom (Paramount), Time Warner (Warner Bros), Sony (Columbia), Disney (Touchstone), Comcast/GE (NBC, Universal), and News Corporation (Fox).

whenever they need to do some, let’s say “unpopular” stuff, they hide behind the the MPAA moniker to protect the valuable brands that you see at the beginning of your beloved movies..

This is suspiciously reasonable-sounding. What’s the catch?

“We’re on the wrong track if we describe this as thievery, when it’s clearly much closer to terrorism!”
