Also, one main thing the graph doesn't tell is: - how many of the Chinese users read/write English? - how many of the English users read/write Chinese?

You don't want this feature...don't use it? Simple concept, no? Facebook already has other mobile features (ie, notification via text) if you choose to signup for them.

Umm, the whole point of this login system is not to use your original password at all. Avoid keyloggers/malware on computers you don't know/trust.

And yet again, you still miss the point. The article states that the scope of HTML5 is so huge, that it will be difficult for browser developers to fully secure their browser against exploits. The scope of HTML5 makes securing the browsers more difficult, and as a counter point, they compare it against HTML4, which was far simpler, but exploits are still being found to this day.

This in no way suggests that HTML5 sucks or is evil, it is just something that people need to consider.

Unless in your original point, by developer you meant Firefox, Chrome, Opera or IE dev teams and by application you meant the aforementioned browsers, then your point was, at best, vague.

You misread the summary; the article is not about an idiot developer building an insecure application that compromises the developer's server's security. It's about malicious developers building seemingly benign websites that compromise a user's home computer

Opera is cluttered? Any extra features you don't use are disabled (ie, if you don't use the built-in mail client, it's not running).

It's kind of hard to say avoid PHP and that it's not worth learning anymore when one of the world's largest sites runs on the damn thing.

"Yeah, hi. Can you please change your workflow and the way you've been doing things for years that has worked with no problems just because I can't be bothered installed a free program to open your PDF files? Thanks!"

Looking at Fido's escalation process, 'Step 2' is where it fails all the time. The last time I had a problem that customer service couldn't resolve, I asked to speak to a manager, wherein the rep replied that all the managers were in a meeting and no one could take my call. Every single one. At the same time. And no one could field problems. Took my number down and said a manager would call me in 24 hours. When no one did, I called back, and once again I got the same line that every manager was in a meeting and no one could take my call. That time I insisted, and my rep managed to grab a manager who was 'walking by'. Yeah right.

That's because the CoreVideo API didn't allow to read back the rendered pixels, which the Flash Player kind of requires to be able to put overlays (with transparencies) if needed over the video. You really think Adobe didn't use an API because they "didn't want to"?

Why stop using an API if it's still available and it still works? If Apple has kept them open, they're open for a reason.

And hey, if you want to go down that road, Apple recently criticized Adobe for being late to the game porting their apps to Cocoa. Guess who makes iTunes, which is still stuck in Carbon land?

Apple only recently provided 3rd party API access to hardware acceleration for video in Mac OS X 10.6.3. Six days later, Adobe released a beta preview of Flash Player 10.1 with hardware acceleration for video. So really, is it Adobe's fault? Or is it Apple's fault for locking down their OS and access go important APIs? http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/28/flash-player-gala-brings-hardware-decoding-support-to-mac-os-x/

Doesn't work properly in Opera 10.5. Hooray for progress!

I'm holding out for the Notion Ink Adam...it's Android based, and uses a Pixel Qi display, which is basically an e-paper like screen that supports colour and video. You can turn on a backlight so it's like a regular LCD, or turn it off for e-ink style reading. Should be coming out in June.

What you described is the behaviour of every company I've tried to cancel an account with.
