Here we go again…
Here we go again…
Five Guys have a vanilla milkshake till bacon … Yummmmm
Ok my god. I had an Samsung Omnia 7 and I loved the Metro UI.
Remote Desktop to a Windows 2008 Server and try to open the Start Menu by clicking a single pixel in the left lower corner… Shoot me.
Going public introduces shareholders that prioritizes return on investment as opposed to making technology and knowledge about technology accessible for many.
It doesn’t always end this way but often enough to worry about it…
Just curious… What are your expectations for sanctions that have been in effect for a year or so?
You have an impression about what they don’t talk about on TV based on that you don’t watch TV?
They are extremely toothless in the sense of making continuation of the war less interesting.
If it was “toothless”, Putin and his propaganda machinery wouldn’t bother commenting on it so often.
In many cases it’s doing business and not just the payment!/compansation that the sanctions is about.
Apple could have tried to work with them and said something like “We’ll pay when the embargo ends”
…aaaaand that would most likely be trying to circumvent the sanctions by essentially receiving credit from Kaspersky on delivered services.
Not saying the situation is optional, but the sanctions would be extremely toothless if it was that easy to circumvent.
I like how you think…
So Microsoft is essentially doing what Google and Apple have been doing for years and we think Microsoft are anti consumer because of this?
You seeing me as aggressive just because I’m right about Firefox being a web browser is nothing I can do anything about and something you have to work with.
Me and Mozilla will keep trucking and call Mozilla Firefox a Web Browser… Or as Wikipedia says:
Mozilla Firefox, or simply Firefox, is a free and open-source web browser developed by the Mozilla Foundation and its subsidiary, the Mozilla Corporation.
And you keep calling Firefox your banana or whatever. It’s ok. I promise to continue to not being aggressive about it.
Banana or not, a document viewer / editor that handle a subset of two standards is not a very versatile document viewer / editor.
So back to my original point: Since Mozilla doesn’t have a very stable business model it seems dangerous to focus on other things than making their web browser the best at browsing the web.
Ps. It took us over 20 years to get rid of the cluster f***s Internet Explorer and Flash was and it seems we should have learned the lesson by now. Going down the same route as before, starting to support standards that rely on patents owned by a third party (Adobe in this case) is definitively not a death sentence in any way, but history has shown us that it’s a slippery slope that has many different paths and endings.
You obviously know very little about PDF since you’re trying to put it on the same level as HTML.
The PDF files that we see in our daily life today is not even halfway as open as HTML is and dealing with them is not as easy as you think.
Furthermore, you’re free to call Firefox a “document viewer”.
I personally prefer a state of the art web browser and a state of the art PDF viewer more than one document viewer that only handles subsets of 2 document types.
That was 20 years ago. Numerous PDF readers has surfaced since then.
PDF is not like HTML.PDF is a messy standard where you need Adobe products to support all the shit that a PDF could contain. There is no open source product that for example fully support PDF forms and therefore Mozilla won’t either.
All in saying is that Firefox is a web browser and not a document viewer. Since Mozilla would go bankrupt in two hours if Google stopped showing them with a shitload of money, Mozilla would be wise to focus on the core.
So if Google were to stop paying Mozilla for us to be able to use Firefox for free, we’re all running Chrome.
Let’s hope that if they support the shit show XFA is, they manage to support it fully.
The only one that seem to support it fully today is Adobe and I still haven’t been able to find any open source product that was able to close forms in PDFs.
I just wish Mozilla got back to focus on making the best browser.
PDF stuff is cool but not why I use a web browser.
Why are you worried about Sony owning the blu-ray format?
