Seconded. These big companies along with the likes of Hollywood are the ones pushing w3c.

Looks like really decent hardware for a Linux laptop though.

Not a new thing that everybody wants to create their own little walled garden. It's beautiful inside, but it also strips users of their freedom.

Not sure if it's best for us end users when we are mandated to give up our freedom in the name of 'security' and 'user experience'.

Very interesting post. I'm fully with the author except for one point: whether Google Reader comes back matters no more. The freedom of Internet and the choices for the people lies in the freedom software, not proprietary service.

Liferea and newsblur(https://github.com/samuelclay/NewsBlur) are some good open source alternatives.

Good. Now when will Google shut down this service?

Poor google plus.

I used to be a really loyal fan.

Couldn't help but...

Hats off to all the people who contributed to LetsEncrypt. Your work has brought web security to the next level.

If you want these kinda dreams it's californication.

Looks like a combination of iPad with Surface cover.

Really wish they design something themselves someday.

> As a sidelight to this debate, I want to ask why is it that Apple, of all companies, is the one taking such a strong stand on this issue?

Eh... Because the shooter was using an iPhone?

If the shooter was using an Android device, FBI would be insane to ask Apple to decrypt data.

See, people. This is how Slack should be used. For family daily use, not as the only communication tool for opensource projects.

Yes. For fun. No serious projects though.

Python, C++, Clisp/Scheme/a lisp dialect/Haskell or FP language of some kind.

So what's the purpose of this site? To attract learners and contributors? To build a better source code browsing system? To build an open-source ecosystem? To promote the spirit of open-source softwares?

The half-assed design of the webpage indicates that Apple is probably not paying attention to it at all. So what's the purpose of this site exactly?

How about paying by the percentage of what the customer read?

This is the hacker spirit.

Gee. Thought this might only happen in a 'Black Mirror' episode.

This is amazing.

I hope Google could really carry this project as far as possible. The next several major issues would be polishing up the platform, eliminating the bugs, unifying the android and chromebook development interface. Think of one day when android developers could actually design apps for the desktop. How cool would that be?

That's when Microsoft should really get worried.

Looks good.

Too bad he's made an unwise decision. Still, he is a best engineer.

Sorry I didn't make it. Goodbye Gsoc. I will still love you tho.

Too sad about this. Wish him a good start somewhere else and build equally amazing products.

Desktop? I thought they were building for phones.
