I was just thinking about this the other day when reviewing my amazon receipt. Amzn doesn't have facilities in my state so we don't have to pay the tax. Using the huge troves of AMZN data and the state/fed's track record to request & receive private data - it wouldn't be too difficult for the states here to do something similar. With the ever increasing national deficit & states increasing appetites for tax revenues...

Could this be coming soon to America?

Was hoping to see an update on this. Might mark (2014) in title.

Up: Bend is a rad place. The lazy river / float scene is really fun. There are approx. 26 breweries, great food, and a really active community. On a typical weekend everyone is out and about which makes it easier to meet folks and get integrated into the community.

Down: Bend was not built for the massive influx of people that the city has seen in recent years. The transportation group is trying to work through it but they will need to be very creative as there is a nice distance gap between East Bend and West Bend.

There are also lots of traffic circles that are single lane that seem to slow down traffic (good and bad) but they run right up against homes and businesses so there are not many options for expansion.

If you own in Seattle now is a great time to sell. We moved a year ago (enjoyed Seattle and its quirks/beer/outdoors) to a more Bend-like community and run our business from here. The transition was worth its weight in gold and we don't look back one bit.

Surprise, surprise.

Jim, what can we do to increase the odds of our email reaching the intended destination on self-hosted domains?

and if you are rolling your own are you having any issues with spf or spam flags?

XPS13 windows 8 with the QHD/ultra high res screen here -- it has issues scaling windows apps -- Adobe Photoshop CC included. The apps imho are the weak link as not all have been designed for the higher resolution display.

Sure, this will change in time for both OS but its quite annoying on a productivity machine.

Edit: With that said, the XPS13 with 256gb ssd, touch screen and 8gigs of ram is a very smooth running machine. Very happy with my purchase.

My understanding is that the motherboard does not permit it. From what I have read they are marking the initial XPS13 as "EARLY 2015" units -- with Windows 10 and Skylake around the corner you may see another major refresh later this year.

Typing to you on a XPS13 "Early 2015".

I agree entirely. However, it has been ruled that corporations are people.

Its available on the non-dev product page if you configure it.

I'm in the same boat and actively looking at the XPS-13 (have one in cart as of writing). Dell Tech support suggested this limit was due to the motherboard. I would imagine another refresh will be coming -- either with Windows 10 (Sep/Oct) or Skylake (Aug).

Or the opposite could happen and the popularity/sudden interest could lead those with a new found interest and spare resources to deploy additional relays and exit nodes.

Hopefully Maddox is involved. He always served the best pages in the universe.

First, I don't blame them, but wonder if more could not have been done. However, I do appreciate how that is your only take away. Kudos.

Its not about Eich - or, gasp, open source. Neither of those words capture the attention of your 'mainstream' users staring at their mobile phone as they walk down the street. Don't believe me, ask the next 20-something you see.

"Back in the day" (read: when the world relied on internet explorer) tabbed browsing was not a mainstream feature. Nor was pop-up blocking, containerized scripting(active-x anyone?) and browsing not being tied to window managers. Times have changed and now while we have diversity, we also strangely have more of the same. Aside from interface, Safari, Chrome and Firefox all offer very similar experiences. Those game changing features that made Firefox popular are now mainstream.

The stats mentioned above are interesting but should not be surprising to anyone here. Google has heavily promoted Chrome and built it in to the android platform. Apple has done something similar with Safari and iOS. No surprises here. Also, keep in mind that Mozilla walked away from an entire market of mobile users.

Wrt moving forward, what about listening to current trends in the market? Security, privacy and speed all seem to be popular buzzwords these days (now, if more than ever). Why not focus here first?

Users have proven time and time again that unless there is a major compelling reason to change they will stick with what they know and what has worked in the past. With the built-in browsers being 'good enough', what reason(s) do they have to change?

Man, it almost seems like we've been here before..

/hate -- That was more or less intended to qualify that I wasn't some hit and run commentator talking out of my ass, but a passionate mozillian that has done my fair share of bugzilla triage.

What else you got? Something about the cloud? Add in a few more buzzwords and throw it under the /corporate blog then apologize for it.

I'd love to see some clarity, direction, and a genuine plan for impact in the future. Not a knee jerk deal with a failed search engine paired with some bumbling about consolidation, mergers and yes, the cloud. There is plenty of that type of 'news' on Forbes.

Thanks for acting as a translator.

IBM and GE are all the proof we need that 'corporate' doesn't change the world. Edit; they once offered innovation, now they suck its blood.

Valid. Its nice to know where the money flows from. At the same time, I could care less how they make the money and more about 'this is how Mozilla disrupts'.

That, if we get down to it, is what they were originally set out to do.

Dont forget maps, reviews, and a social network.

Agreed. Longtime user -- I was on the Netscape 4.3, then 7.1, Kmeleon project, then Phoenix, then Firdbird, then Firefox? I cant keep up.

With that being said, Mozilla has been (in my mind) the pro consumer, pro internet org to challenge the establishment. So far, its worked wonders -- we have a diverse ecosystem, new burning edge interfaces and plugin market places to boot. The partnership with the Tor project gave me hope. However..reading that PR blurb/intro made me want to pluck out my eyeballs. Where is the heart? The direction? The challenge?

Mozilla -- Its time you returned to your roots. Find the spark that set you free and fan the flames.
