Also, the UI in Firefox for changing the address bar search engine is awful -- about:config, click through the warning, then find and edit keyword.URL (which is in a different form…

I think the only use for the search box now is to give people easy access to multiple (or a secondary) search engine. Sure, it's ugly, but it does give users a clear and simple way…

I've had a look at Google's docs[1], and it's really not clear to me what Chrome's omnibox offers that Firefox's address bar (or whatever they call it) doesn't. http://support.goog…

Regular consumers really don't care about version numbers. They probably don't even know which version of Office they have installed, let alone their web browser.

FWIW, the first line of the linked page does read Olly, the author of OllyDbg, presents his new open source joke:

It would have been a lot more useful if the link had said how/why the ADM-3A used hjkl as cursor keys.

They even admit it's not just governments they sell to: VUPEN customers include worldwide governments and major corporations in finance, technology and manufacturing. [ http://www.…

I prefer Chrome because its updater also includes the flash plugin, and it has its own pdf-reader plugin. Chromium also doesn't do releases, just lots of bleeding edge snapshots, a…

You've never heard of an evil genius?

I can actually see a good argument for the API remaining read-only so that Google+ emphasises original content and doesn't just end up as a ghost-town full of content syndicated in…

The fee for Sunrise B appears to be almost the same as the annual fee for actually registering. I assume you won't have to renew, though.

I would have assumed that the AOL deal wouldn't allow Arrington to set up a competitor so soon.

All vendors want market share in the Netherlands, so a few Dutch CAs get on the list; and they all want market share in China so the Chinese Ministry of Information gets on the lis…

We don't know that they didn't get a forged certificate for ssl.google-analytics.com. Diginotar haven't (AFAIK) released even a partial list of affected domains, other than admitti…

The pictures aren't representative of Tallinn as a whole, certainly not the central parts, but it is probably fair to say that it is more run-down in parts than similar cities in w…
