It didn't come bundled on the Flame but Nokia have made it available on Firefox Marketplace.

Which makes sense if it's all HTML 5 like Tizen.

Alcatel also makes a range of 'One Touch Fire' models that run Firefox OS.

The hardware is likely 99% identical to the Android models.

I'd be skeptical in correlating the number of phones vs the number of users.

A number of countries on that list have more phones that people. I'm not sure the %age of folks that have more than 1 active handset...

Maybe 'condemn' is the wrong word, then.

But they're complicit in bowing to 'the whims of the actual device manufacturers'. The device may run in 128MB in its Tarako config but the phone won't deliver an optimal experience.

I'm just reflecting that I can't imagine the difference in price between 128 and 256MB modules would be that huge in 2014. Even the $25 Rpi model A shipped with 256MB back in 2012.

Would a $38 phone sell any worse if a 256MB module were $5 extra?

The Flame developer device is snappy enough but with way better specs.

Mozilla want to condemn the 'developing world' into using 128MB of RAM, which will obviously throttle performance.

I'd be curious to know how much half a gig would add to the price.

It's bullshit that one has to reset a boolean preference every few days for something no one wants.

Wiktionary is just as bad. They have a whole category devoted to words that exist but seemingly don't. If you want to put the kangamangus on those dotnoses, ozay; head to urban dictionary instead.

I was expecting a discussion about Fremantle's win over Hawthorn on the weekend. :)

If you are going to use Roman numerals why not just host in the virgin islands?

Of course you might have users searching for info about their favourite text editor. :)

which probably says more about a JS-based emulator in a browser than the platform itself.

No qemu support yet?

History of cinema - T2 was a seminal work of the late 20th century.

In the context of 'liquid metal', Robert Patrick's portrayal of a next generation terminator was certainly on-topic, if shooting for a "Funny" moderation.

Offtopic??? Mods need to learn some history.

He was the liquid metal bad guy in T2: Judgement Day.

He should get in touch with Mozilla to commercialise the idea.

They have a 'stumbler' application to map the world using wifi. Create a campaign to map neighbourhoods by kitty!

If Google really wanted to troll the United States, they could always buy Grand Manan Island from New Brunswick.

It's a mere 15km away from the Maine coast in the Bay of Fundy but in Canadian waters.
