How does that matter ? - when a user clicks on a search result they expect to get the content described in the snippet. If you're unable to deliver that content on mobile then it makes perfect sense for you not to show up in the search results.

If a user is searching for a product and they click on the link to that product in an ecommerce store, they want a product page not your app.
Well, it just seems like "yet another technical feat that doesn't mean all that much"... There have been many posts like this over the years and I was just expressing that I'm at a loss as to why they're all that attention-worthy at this point.

Anyone (smart) can put together a neat demo that does something different. If they had, let's say, built a whole game with this, I'd be more inclined to be impressed! But yet another toy proof of concept? Meh. I mean, it's cool, but...

Perhaps I'm just overly blasé today...
The yogurt company growing as fast as Google and Facebook
Let's forget about the z-axis and new interface updates, there are some major new features in iOS 7 that I'm sure a lot of people will want to upgrade to within the first month. (I predict faster adoption for 4/4s/5 users than we saw in iOS 6)

In decreasing order of importance (my opinion)

o Pre-Launch background Updating (Finally!) - I spend 3-5 minutes, every morning, and another 3-5 minutes, every night, downloading my Podcasts before my walk home. Annoying. Now, in theory - they'll download for me in the morning and night. Awesome - particularly as my iPhone 5 is happily sitting in an elevation dock at 100% power for most of the day, or plugged in at home for most of the night. It Will be interesting to see what developers do with notification launched background apps - hopefully it won't be abused.

o Airdrop for iPhone (Finally! How many times have I wanted to get a file/image/content off my iPhone onto my Laptop just before a plane took off)

o Swipe Control Center - another "Finally" - getting closer to android parity/rooted iPhone parity - I tweak the brightness/lock rotation/pause/play music and settings pretty often. This will length the lifespan of my home button (double click + swipe left to currently get lock + music settings)

o Enhanced Camera/photo management - looks really nice - lot of people will like this - even the die-hard Camera+/Instagram/Flickr/Google+ photo types. I do feel kind of bad for Camera Noir - their window was pretty meager. :-(

o iTunes radio - particularly for all of us who already subscribe to iTunes Match.

o Advanced Siri - I use Siri many times a day, looking forward to this.
I wouldn't say that, but I'll admit I'm pessimistic!

Custom SSL Certificates Pricing:

You pay $600 per month for each custom SSL certificate associated with one or more CloudFront distributions.

This monthly fee is pro-rated by the hour. For example, if you had your custom SSL certificate associated with at least one CloudFront distribution for just 24 hours (i.e. 1 day) in the month of June, your total charge for using the custom SSL certificate feature in June will be (1 day / 30 days) $600 = $20.
I don't think it's an attack for Booz Allen to release the numbers to clear up a lie he (Snowden) made in an interview in which he was referencing the company.

Imagine that you're an employee for the company with a degree and a decade of experience or even a shareholder. Now you read that your employer was paying some low-level contractor 200k/yr in Hawaii. As an exec at Booz Allen, why wouldn't you try to minimize your damage?

Uhh... the whole idea with the present generation of smartphone (software) comes from the iPhone. That (and applying it to create pads people were willing to pay for) was new.

Everyone should be able to agree on that, at least.

Like a science-fiction writer, one must be careful with predictive dates. The best algorithm seems to be: take your initial guess and triple it. For example, since 1984 was published in 1949, 3x that would yield 2089, which seems a reasonable time frame to move our society from our current status into the complete dystopia the book predicts.

So your digital eyes should be coming out in 2094 or so, shortly after the Ministry of Truth begins erasing words from history books.
Yes, "fun," because it's absolutely hilarious to flood your government with busy work as a valid protest. Stop being a petty child and realize that the only effect that this would have is either a stoppage of serving requests or an uptick in hiring for the department.
The US has bases in countries all over the world as part of military agreements. From 1955, W. Germany has them as a NATO member vs. the Warsaw Pact countries. They're not occupations unless the armies establish control over the countries.

Google's funding isn't the end of the story. There are others (e.g. Microsoft) who would be happy to fund Mozilla. The real question is: How much cash could Mozilla get from non-US sources? I'd guess orders of magnitude less, sadly.
You are conflating design and under-the-hood changes. I have seen absolutely nobody complain about the new APIs you mention, even though they might need a few iterations to work - just like 10.7 did. That is fine, that is how Apple has always worked. Apps that were quick to embrace features of 10.7/10.8 have always gotten a solid push on the Mac App Store, for example.

What annoys many users (and every developer is also a user) is change for the sake of change. There is absolutely no technical reason for changing the style of icons on iOS 7. Clear fit right in on the iOS 6 home screen and was a joy to use regardless.
I can't explain how happy I am to see this. The fact that this has ever happened on major sites shows the low quality of web developers currently employed at huge sites. Once you understand the problem, it's a very easy fix for a single developer, so this shows that in large, well-financed development teams, not a single person recognized this as an issue. That is scary. Hopefully these sites will be quickly purged from all results until they get their act together.

The default lexicographical sort order on an array of integers is unexpected, yes.
Bear in mind that I know very little JavaScript so I may be completely wrong or this may be a very simple observation, but isn't the confusion in the first part simply due to the printed representation of the Array prototype/object?

I seem to remember that arrays in JavaScript are in theory just objects/dicts such that:

var a = [1, 2, 3];

is equivalent to

var a = {0 : 1, 1: 2, 2: 3};

and whatever function is invoked by evaluating `a` in the console must just iterate over the sorted keys of the object, starting at key = 0 and attempting to print key + 1 until the key does not exist. So he may be setting `a[-1]` and it happily exists, but the confusion is just down to the whatever the equivalent of the `__repr__` function is for JavaScript arrays.
The focus on the salary discrepancy is in order to suggest that other elements of the story might be exaggerated or false.
A kinda-sorta related situation involves forum clients -- multiple different websites offer alerts pointing to the same app, and having to click through the same alert for each website could be somewhat annoying.

How Hushmail's encrypted email service can protect you
For me the eyes aren't centered properly (if you put the cursor between the eyes both the eyes look to the right), this bookmarklet fixes it:

javascript:$(window).mousemove(function(e) {var offset = ($('#bg').outerWidth(true) - $('#bg').innerWidth()) / 2;move(".oog1", e.pageX - offset, e.pageY, p1.left, p1.top );move(".oog2", e.pageX - offset, e.pageY, p2.left, p2.top );});
Nope. On the 9th, Edward Snowden was the 5th most popular search. On the 7th, PRISM was the 7th most popular search and NSA was the 10th most popular search. Maybe an individual sex-related keyword doesn't hit the top 15 search queries and therefore doesn't reach the rankings. Also, IIRC, they show trends and ignore the otherwise most commonly searched keywords. If you saw "hot anal sex videos" as a trending keyword every day it wouldn't be all that interesting.

Bear in mind that most of the proletariat doesn't know or care about the NSA leaks. It's not the #1 search every single day just because people tend to want to just get on with their lives and ignore that icky bit of information they heard that they believe they can't change. It doesn't really affect them in a palpable way like health insurance or a new presidency. They have their bread and circus and their lives just roll on. If anything, their own personal dramas are going to take the spotlight.
Sometimes its take your best guess and half it. We are really bad at predicting the future.

Why would a company whose only connection to the US is a few US citizen and/or permanent resident employees have to worry about whether or not certain transactions involve those employees?

You might not know why, but they do. The US is unusually (perhaps uniquely) aggressive in how far it tries to push the reach of its law. It's worth thinking through the implications of that.
If Shia handed Jay Top Secret documents and refused to give his source up, you think he'd be free? I suspect anyone with the power to go after him, who noticed his comment, knew about the streisand effect, and bought 5 more years of secrecy rather than go after this "leak".

The title is a (little) bit misleading. I should state:	"Google downranks sites that redirect all mobile requests to homepage"

Ie. There is nothing wrong with redirecting a mobile client to the mobile homepage if the mobile user asked for the homepage.
So Mozilla should throw away their funding, lay off the majority of their employees and then fight the good fight?

The whitepaper at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/gg4... indicates that Windows timer coalescing requires an application to explicitly opt in. The article describes OS X Mavericks' support as applying to all upcoming timers while on battery power (presumably excluding particular classes of timing-sensitive applications, such as audio playback), which would be a much more aggressive approach than in Windows.
Some good ideas here murtza cheers, legend.

I was very intrigued until I poked around the github repos and noticed the server specs Etsy was using to analyze the 250k metrics.

Oculus recommended setup (found at https://github.com/etsy/oculus):

* ElasticSearch
* At least 8GB RAM
* Quad Core Xeon 5620 CPU or comparable
* 1GB disk space
* two ElasticSearch servers in separate clusters
* a cluster of Worker boxes running Resque
* worker master runs redis
* additional resque worker boxes (and potentially slaves)
* At least 12GB RAM
* Quad Core Xeon 5620 CPU or comparable
* 1GB disk space

It'd be nice if there was a more established baseline set of server specs to get up and running. While many of us aspire to be at Etsy level monitoring, we're just not there.
Thanks, i've incorporated your fix into the doodle!

You really don't get it. You cannot say Samsung will copy something from Apple, when Samsung already has that.

It's OK to be a fanboy, but at least try to understand what's going on.

Also, they might have revolutionized iOS but they didn't revolutionized mobile OS in general.
I have plenty of doubt.

It might be worth an ironic smirk to real terrorists, but Al Quaeda etc. are surely not out to reduce our civil liberties but to establish governments to their own liking, primarily in certain definite regions. The revelations may teach them something about the reach of US intelligence, but they'd have been foolish not to assume something like this was going on.

Two screen increase performance dramaticaly.

At work i use a laptop with a 24 inch display. I have the laptop to display Eclipse debug and other info that i might need and have Eclipse mainly on my 24inch.

At home, doing web dev i have a 27 and a 22. It is a lot more usefull there as i have my eclipse on the larger screen and have the browser and shell on the 22 inch. No need to switch between windows and tabs.

It safes a lot of time and increases performance drastically.
Shane Harris, author of The Watchers, reveals that U.S. intelligence agencies collect too much information to process competently.

Mozilla would probably die, and that would be a very bad thing. So you are right, this is not the wisest path (it is the bravest, but the graveyard is full of brave people).

The other option is to contribute to educate the public by being honest. Giving the false hopes that they provide in their statement, they are doing a disservice to the public by downplaying the risk posed by the government.

I would have hoped from more honesty from Mozilla; they should just call it what it is: the US is a police state, so you'd better protect yourself.
Doesn't really say that much does it?

Email and calendar apps can't be that demanding resource wise. The indexing might be. File servers and email can be kept on a low power set-up on the LAN. I can understand the reticence about putting these up in the cloud.

I've never had a connection that I'd be happy enough to rely on to go all out to the cloud, but like the low power client, shared server model.

I'd have thought though that if people were serious about saving energy, they could do a few simple things (I've seen so many places squandering energy):

People could use heating systems more efficiently - not heat the building with the windows open!

People leave their computers on all night long even with modern OSs that can suspend or hibernate easily or even cold boot quickly. They don't even set them up to sleep - the default energy management policies under their OSs could be better. People don't change them, they use high calory screen savers and eschew sleeping them. It just doesn't seem to be a concern.

Most in house servers and workstations probably could just be turned off for 14hrs each day with no consequence. A community building that hosted many charities I worked in proposed pulling the electric to the offices at night as an energy saving exercise but met a lot of resistance. Why?

Web browser tabs could be closed, or fully backgrounded by using bookmarks. Or apps could be managed better.

Monitors could be turned off.

Phone chargers and transformers could be switched off fully while not used.

Less water in kettles, and or insulated kettles.

No disposable cups, or plastic packaging in the canteens that just gets dumped.

There's a lot of hot wind. Some people want to be green, but don't take any ownership themselves - I do a little recycling, drive a Prius and use Gmail - isn't really going green.

It's nice to finally see some inroads in some OSs like Windows 8 regarding energy management, why has this taken so long though?

I'd love to see more people remote working, particpating in online meetings etc, at least it would lighten the load off the roads.

Watching Al Gore jet setting all over the globe with his green message doesn't exactly fill me with confidence.

He's a great entrepreneur, and I don't think for a second that technology has a monopoly on great entrepreneurs, but the reality is that you don't get into technology because of the revenue growth, but rather for the profits growth.

You can make revenue quickly in any industry, but it is very difficult to make it on the kind of margins you see in technology.
