Also note that "is optimized for ~" is now a euphemism for "content is only available for ~".

I'm not quite sure to like that semantic shift.

Moreover seems like our perception of time and space do change during a saccadic eye movement.

At least according to that paper from ten years ago : http://www.nature.com/neuro/journal/v8/n7/abs/nn1488.html

Maybe is there more recent researches in that field.

Wildfires in the exclusion zones of Chernobyl or Fukushima are bound to release radioactive clouds over neighbouring regions and countries. Not necessary a lot, it depends of the size of the fire.

So now, about Pluto ...

No. Holding on to outdated scientific information because it's what you learned in school is bad policy.

Pluto is not a planet, but is a nice dwarf planet, much like Ceres.

indeed because "The evaluation fee is US$185,000."

I wouldn't be so sure they wouldn't do that, after all:

"At the auction for Nortel Networks' wireless patents this week, Google's bids were mystifying, such as $1,902,160,540 and $2,614,972,128.

Math whizzes might recognize these numbers as Brun's constant and Meissel-Mertens constant, but it puzzled many of the people involved in the auction, according to three people with direct knowledge of the situation on Friday.

...

'It became clear that they were bidding with the distance between the earth and the sun. One was the sum of a famous mathematical constant, and then when it got to $3 billion, they bid pi,' the source said, adding the bid was $3.14159 billion.

'Either they were supremely confident or they were bored.'"

> 'Either they were supremely confident or they were bored.'

Those usually go hand in hand.

Motivation for changing the low order digits is different from the high order digits.

Not to nitpick but the lower order digits in those bids are orders of magnitude higher than the US$185,000 evaluation fee.

"Unlike major mobile operating systems, which were designed based on Linux codes, Mozilla created their Firefox Os (project name: Boot to Gecko) on an HTML platform, more precisely HTML 5."

afaik Firefox OS is also built upon a Linux kernel, so it's a bit misleading ...

Yeap. B2G is composed of Gonk (basic Linux distro) + Gecko (rendering engine) + Gaia (HTML/CSS/JS-based UI layer).

It is. And in my (limited) experience, version fragmentation is already a bad problem… There's little to no apps, and half of those few need a newer OS version than is available for my half-year old Fire E.

Yikes. How do they plan to get users ? For all the talk about Android's fragmentation, it has been conceived so that the sdk is as back-compatible as possible (and Play Services and the compatibility libraries only improve that).

> How do they plan to get users ?

Cheap phones for users who don't particularly care, I assume.

> and Play Services and the compatibility libraries only improve that

I haven't yet looked at the developer side of FFOS, but guessing from the store entries of all the apps I cannot install, it doesn't have an equivalent to those.

For that matter, iOS isn't based on Linux: they share some common ancestry, but it's much closer to a BSD derivative.
