    The only conflict of interest left is the browser itself. A $300M deal for Google to keep a competitor's searches their way is almost too cheap.

    Nothing as interesting as that. Mozilla has had a "let's try and be friends" approach with the ad industry for a few years (see 3rd party cookies) but the recent introductions like…

    A person named Goran who created a smart umbrella called "Kisha" - rain in srbo-croatian. The world makes sense :)

    That's an oversimplification since the valley is the leading proponent of immigration reform (yes since the companies there will get better access to foreign workers) but every oth…

    I am not proud of this but I "canceled" my Comcast service by moving to another country. The only step required was to remove the auto-withdrawal on their website. They probably tr…

    There was a really good writeup about the decision process in the early iPhones where Steve Jobs ordered the UI in its own process so that the user gets instant feedback on interac…

    I disagree with the article though it does make me wonder about the supply chain part of the process with OEMs. The surface 3 is definitely attractive and powerful and I'd love to …

    It's one thing to agree or disagree with her position at Dropbox but are you trying to argue against what she said on camera? "I heard she might..." is not the case here since she …

    He's leaving. Which is typical for CEOs even if his tenure ended positively.

    I love these article titles especially since I love getting my tech news from forbes the way I love my mechanic's baked goods. Apps have their place and the browser is not going aw…

    He didn't donate to a campaign banning interracial marriage though and the example isn't the same. Furthermore he is one of the founding members of Mozilla and his contributions gi…

    The typical CEO response would've been to lie about a change in position and then state the same policies as he already outlined. I don't agree with the man's personal stance on sa…

    Mozilla's leadership is far more complex than the person holding the CEO chalice. Assuming he wanted to impose his personal views on marriage down to the company there would be a r…

    Worth noting that this only works for Chrome. For what it's worth I don't support the practice and think it will not help prevent "self-XSS" at all. The idea of self-XSS being ridi…

    I am with you on this one on most "reality" shows I've seen. In reality nobody asks me to go to a confession room to explain my supposed reasoning in front of a camera. I also find…

    Very good question. Quite interested in this too and I get the sense Apple would nuke the app even if they didn't specifically write a rule against this.

    Fair enough but it's trickier to demo something that requires more elaborate user action. My reach-bag scenario wasn't so contrived actually we had to develop something that would …
