when will you add instant search results in the browser's search box? For example, if i use Firefox and have Google ad the default, and i type "32 * (13 - 9)" it will instantly show a dropdown with the answer 128. I would really like DDG to do this too.

The difference is the base of the Project Ara phone, the exoskeleton, is only $15 to replace. So if they change that, you're looking at paying $15. With PCs, the base still costs $150-200 in most cheap options and significantly more in others.

> Second, some details about the store... "Windows Store apps" can use the IE rendering engine to browse the web, but can't use other existing libraries like Gecko or Blink. > > Metro-enabled desktop browsers (like other desktop apps) can be listed in the Windows Store, but can't be installed there.

I don't understand why it is legal for Microsoft (AND Apple) to do this! How is this different from what Microsoft did with IE vs Netscape? Why doesn't this violate anti-trust or competition laws?

I used it and submitted bug reports to help the team find issues. I hate Windows but am forced to use it in certain cases. While Windows 8 touch is not huge, I would prefer to have options other than IE for myself and other users.

+1. Stay far away from 1and1.com! I had the worst experiences with them of any tech company. Customer service doesn't get worse than them.

It should have worked on Firefox too but there's a bug

This worked on Chrome on Android (KitKat 4.4) but not on Firefox Beta for Android. Both correctly showed the microphone sharing notification, but on Firefox, no sound ever registers.

I linked to an article that explains what it is and left it to you (the reader) to decide if it's good or bad. I believe it is a very bad thing.

Shadow DOM is a very, very bad idea.

It kills cross-browser compatibility, kills standards (since they're unreachable, undocumented elements that can handle input, interaction and affect other elements.

If only every browser implemented it...but IE 7,8,9 are stuck on the old APIs. They're a large percentage of all users.

I got the feeling this post was really an attempt to get google to buy them out.

php.net allows users to post answers and examples of code throughout the website. Likely, one of the submission forms has/had a hole that allowed someone to submit or alter actual JS code.
