Firefox 4 Beta 1 Shines On HTML5 256

snydeq writes "InfoWorld's Peter Wayner takes a first look at Firefox 4 Beta 1 and sees several noteworthy HTML5 integrations that bring Firefox 4 'that much closer to taking over everything on the desktop.' Beyond the Chrome-like UI, Firefox 4 adds several new features that 'open up new opportunities for AJAX and JavaScript programmers to add more razzle-dazzle and catch up with Adobe Flash, Adobe AIR, Microsoft Silverlight, and other plug-ins,' Wayner writes. 'Firefox 4 also adds an implementation of the Websockets API, a tool for enabling the browser and the server to pass data back and forth as needed, making it unnecessary for the browser to keep asking the server if there's anything new to report.'"

I liked my prior workplace, where I had a standard cubicle (one with a lot of space though, not one of these "compressed" ones), surrounded by other cubicles with my teammates. I had some privacy, I didn't have people walking right up behind me like I do now, and when conversations did happen, the high cubicle walls kept the conversation from being too distracting (and kept me from having direct sight of all the people standing around), while still allowing me to hear if it was something I wanted to participate in.

5? You think a 5 year old even gives a shit about a first person shooter? Hell, kids at 5 don't even have an interest about that. Maybe they have interest in wow, or some mmo, or something fantasy, maybe even a fighting game, but FPS are typically not something that people at 5 are interested *in*. If I found my kid playing mortal kombat at 5 successfully, I'd be damn impressed. Again, that's not a FPS. Nor do they have 50 dollars to spend on a game, unless they stole your credit card and in which case you have another lesson altogether. Nor do they have the attention span to even play such a FPS.

If the kid was 9-16, that's the range you start dealing with these kinds of things. But at 5? No.

Really?

Maybe you should go read the warrant, they basically said "you can take anything from his house that is electronic" including mice and including taking any passwords he has on his PC. Mice have evidence?

I'm quite sure that last one there is a first amendment violation. Any lawyers care to comment? I smell a mistrial where he won't get his stuff back for 5 years including all his cellphones which they took(at which point it'll be useless). gotta love the "hold his stuff indefinitely while you copy every hard drive".
