Report: Mitch Kapor Pronounces Microsoft's Battle With Open Source "Over"
Mitch Kapor--founder of Lotus and designer of the Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet--is one of the true pioneers of the software industry. People forget how mighty Lotus once was, with a market capitalization that towered over Microsoft's, and over 80 percent market share in spreadsheets. In a discussion with the Guardian U.K., Kapor pronounces Microsoft's war against open source over. I wouldn't go so far as to say it's over, but it's not the war it once was by any means.
OStatic Buffer Overflow...
Mozilla previously blocked the Firefox add-ons Microsoft included with .NET, citing security concerns. Now the company is reversing the decision.
Closed Design or No Design? Something is better than nothing.
OpenBSD 4.6 is out. There are many improvements to packet filtering, routing daemons, and the TCP stack.
Has open source hardware come of age? Stanford's Frankencamera is just one example of maturing open source devices.
Fennec, Mozilla's Mobile Browser, is Moving Forward
We've written about Fennec, Mozilla's mobile browser, a number of times. It's now in its fourth public beta, and GigaOm reports today that Mozilla CEO John Lilly wants it to be just as disruptive on mobile devices as Firefox is on the desktop. “We wanted to build a browser that did everything — Javascript, CSS, Flash, SVG, video and audio," says Lilly. "What that meant was we had to wait for a while for devices to get better to handle this modern browser.” Check out more at GigaOm.
Is Firefox 3.x slow & resource-hungry?
I've noticed that Firefox 3 is slower than the earlier versions & seems to be more resource-hungry. I'm thinking about permanently switching over to Opera, which is very fast. But the drawback is that I will miss my FF addons. Has anybody had bad experiences with FF3?
Firefox 3 is running sloooooooooooooooooooow
I'm using a Mac w/ Leopard and firefox 3 has been crawling off late. I never had this problem with FF 2 - does anyone know why this might be happening - a software conflict? I don't know, any ideas?
Is it just me or is Firefox 3 crashing all the time?
Its been less than 24 hours since I started using this - slick interface and much faster (THANK GOD!) than 2.0 but it keeps crashing - this has happened 4 times already.
Anyone else experiencing this issue?
How do I remove search providers on firefox ?
So, firefox's default search providers list has 7 providers - Google, Yahoo, Answers.com, Wikipedia, eBay, Amazon and Creative Commons. I would like to remove a few. How do I do that?
Do all these extensions slow down firefox?
I keep seeing interesting firefox extensions all over the place and have ended up downloading a whole lot of them (which, btw, I never use!).
Over the last few months my firefox performance has really deteriorated. I know there are some memory leak issues on Firefox, but I wanted to make sure that the extensions aren't slowing down my performance.
Do the extensions slow down performance? If so, what is the max. number of extensions I should add?
