I don't have a firefox account.
So I was thinking about it because of this Firefox Hello thing.
But then I noticed I have to use an email address and another password.
I passed out.
Why not social account login, I wonder?
Please don't tell me why. I just wonder.
Yes, I'm kidding. What is the answer? Why don't firefox use social login (google, twitter, liveid) someting, someting so I don't haf to member no more p'words?

Thank God. For a moment I thought we were dangerously close to running out of video conferencing solutions.

"Can you see me now?"
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

What does the FireFox say?

A domain name says a lot about who you are and what you do. For businesses especially, picking out the right domain name is often the starting point to building a successful online presence. With new domain endings like .recipes and .clothing, there are now more options to choose from than ever before. Google gets into the domain selling game (US only at the moment)

Can software code, and application programming interfaces in particular, be copyrighted? That is the question. Because the people you want deciding about code are nine (very) senior citizens

I worked on FreeType a decade ago, when Apple warned the project of the patents he had about font hinting...It became obvious we can not do 1 + 1 without infringement the patent!!!
And that's because those who approve patent request understand nothing but bureaucratic process...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Copyrighted, yes. Patented, no.

Google today made available an iOS app for its Chrome Remote Desktop technology that allows you to access your computer from anywhere. Probably just VLC under the covers, but there you go
|
|
|
|
|
Do you mean VNC?
|
|
|
|
|
Derp. Yeah.
Then again, maybe it's got VLC in there as well. Streaming music or something.

While not a new concept, a new decentralized service is beta testing a peer-to-peer network that would "rent" unused capacity from your computer's hard drive as part of a cloud service to store files from other users. OK, never mind that Seagate guy. Problem solved.

yikes, the legal minefield this jumps into spread-eagled, should have surely killed the project before it even starts.

Mark Whitby, SVP of branded products at Seagate, walks us through the fascinating world of storage, warning us of the dangers of not producing enough data and introducing us to the concept of the Zettabyte. Well, maybe they could get busy then?

Openness by itself does not yield more secure code, but a new dependence on open source by major software players could ensure more rigorous scrutiny. "Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow." (except when they aren't)

Bugs also become shallow when you race down the interstate at 90mph (145km/h)

Quote: Credit Zemlin with jumping on Heartbleed fast. In the wake of the disaster, he quickly formed the Core Infrastructure Initiative and signed up Amazon Web Services, Adobe, Bloomberg, Cisco, Dell, Facebook, Fujitsu, Google, Hitachi, HP, Huawei, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, NetApp, NEC, Qualcomm, Rackspace, Salesforce, and VMware -- all of which pledged to contribute $100,000 annually for a minimum of three years.
With those funds Zemlin has been able to "employ the Steves full time" (actually Dr. Henson and Andy Polyakov) to work on OpenSSL.
$2 million/year in guaranteed funding and they're only able to hire two full time developers. And I thought my employer's overhead rates stank.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
