Submission + - An Android tablet victory may be problematic for Free Software (h-online.com)
An anonymous reader writes: Glyn Moody writes at The H that Google's Nexus 7 tablet seems to be in a good position to shake up the market and pave the way for a serious threat to the iPad. That said, he's worried about the potential downsides to a market full of mostly 'open' devices: 'Such customised systems are likely to be as locked down as they can be – the last thing either manufacturers or companies want is for users to start fiddling with the settings or installing their own software. As a result, the apps that run on such systems are likely to be closed source, since that's the way vertical markets tend to work. Such systems will also expose a persistent problem with the open source development methodology. While big and general projects find it relatively easy to attract interested developers, smaller, more targeted solutions tend not to thrive as free software.'

Mozilla Unleashes JaegerMonkey Enabled Firefox 4 279
An anonymous reader writes "Mozilla has published the first Firefox 4 build that integrates a new JavaScript engine that aims to match the performance in IE9 and reduces the gap to Safari, Opera and Chrome. This is really the big news we have been waiting for all along with Firefox 4 and it appears that the JavaScript performance is pretty dramatic and seems to beat IE9 at least as far as ConceivablyTech shows. Good to see Mozilla back in the game." The Mozilla blog gives a good overview of the improvements this brings; Tom's Hardware also covers the release.

I don't know, but PDF is the most horrible format for eBook. The biggest problem for me is that it does not flow at all nor does it allow any changes. OPS/OPF based eboks are a lot better when used on eBook readers.
But then it is just me...

Not true.
Firefox has this feature implemented, and turned off for all sites by default. If you want, you can go and edit the user.js file manually and allow the copy/paste feature.
