'Nothing to Hide' - many peoples think this way, but for friends i was always trying to explain why privacy is important, why should you use anti virus and firewall, and do not leak data to Internet my main arguments:
1. You're computer might be in use for spam or hacking banks and governments sites.
2. Data leak - credit cards, accounts, and main - personal information.
3. In Ukraine we have joke - Facebook.com - let your wife meet your lovers.
4. From your info it is possible to find info on your friends.
And this is for people who have nothing to hide.
Questions of privacy in Internet is a big problem.
But privacy should be privacy, not anonymity.
As for cameras on streets... In future we will have no chance to hide. Nothing.
This always is a good rule for any kind of business. not only about startups.
Paul, you're trying to explain basics of business processes.
In YC application, Faq there is an item in which you're asking to state is there any programmers in startup team, and explaining that if not, you better should have one. I think you should add one more item, on which YC team should have experienced and successful project manager, businessman who make startup profitable and successful.
And vertical multi-column tabs! And good performance for 100+ tabs on single core CPU-s! And speed dial! And integrated email/RSS client! And trash can! And notes! And so many more.
You can get very very close to Opera features with Firefox extensions. For mouse gestures there’s an extensions called FireGestures. It’s actually more configurable than Opera’s. Speed dial is in Aurora, but it’s very basic right now.
The rest I didn’t use/care, but I can recall there being an extension for every one of those things.
Not saying Firefox is better than Opera necessarily, it's just that Firefox is quite powerful as well.
The problem is that by the time you reached the functionality of Opera with extensions, your browser is bloated and takes ages to load, and a large chunk of RAM.
I’d have agreed with you just a year ago, but not anymore. Firefox made TONS of performance improvements and Opera actually got significantly worse at memory consumption.
At the end of the day, Aurora (with several addons) is usually below or around 300MB with my normal daily use, whereas Opera Next can easily go beyond 1GB of virtual memory.
it is possible but not usefull. Opera has "Opera turbo" and when connection is slow, it's adjusting all websites. I thinks there is no need to do that for each website.
Right decision, FB shares low for today was 31$ now 32.
One news from him that he bought this shares at 31, and market will go up. Than sell again at 45 :)
I think you misunderstood. Fred is suggesting that Mark is smart for cashing out at $37 because the price is now $31. He also thinks that if Mark buys stock at $31 that will be a strong enough signal to send the price to $45. That seems a bit of a stretch to me but it's just a hypothetical situation, not a statement of fact.
Yes, he sold at $37.58 than price moves up, than 31$ and for markets news, that he bought shares at 31 back, can possibly be a big catalyst for growth. That's just a joke, i suppose this was not his purpose, but this "move" could be a big biz.
