It's because of people like you that we have willingly given away so many freedoms we used to enjoy.

The question is- why do you need that stuff on a phone? Being unpolished, incompetent and difficult to use isn't cool. It just shows well.. incompetence. There is no app store because the developers know this phone environment is not worth their time.

It's never a good idea to get attached to any tech company. Things change fast and you might miss out on something great for no good reason

Nokia's adamant refusal to phase out the S40/S60 Symbian crap is the reason why they are fucked in the high profit smart phone market. They are now far from a technology leader, everyone knows that they are just selling cheap stuff that does less. Smart phones no longer imply Nokia's stuff.

1. If you use it you'd know

2. Something like Adblock's definitions (Easylist etc), for Noscript would work well but it would need to be maintained. This, in my opinion is one of the main reasons why noscript hasn't become popular. People need an effective starting point after installing noscript.

3. Not really; the key word there being "selectively". Something like a checkbox control might work better. There are many sites with 10-15 scripts and managing these becomes a bitch with so many clicks

I really was fine with Noscript as a concept, but there are three very serious flaws I find:

    1. Noscript cannot be turned off completely unless the extension is disabled. Even if you allow all scripts globally it still filters some stuff. That's a huge annoyance when I just need to open a site fast, that I need to disable and restart

    2. Noscript doesn't have ready made reliable whitelists. e.g. something that blocks all web analytics and harmful scripts, and allows all else.

    3. An easy way to enable multiple scripts selectively together.

christ..

Sounds a lot like the sample waves Google put up?

Are you connected with Google perchance? I am finding it hard to believe that wives and mother in laws who have "potlucks" can figure out the purpose of wave, let alone add Applets, Maps and pictures. Basically, no offense but I think you're lying.

Google wave is software that constructs a use case that doesn't exist. That's why it's a failure. I wonder if there's anyone who has replaced their email with google wave.

You choose blackberry over an iphone and claim it's better? LOL! Nah, you're just cheap, that's what it is.

Probably because it became immature crap after the first season?

I hate people who use slashdot to promote their websites.

Sycophant, much?
