> As Andrew Stanton, director of Finding Nemo and WALL-E, put it: "My strategy has always been: be wrong as fast as we can... which basically means, we're gonna screw up, let's just admit that. Let's not be afraid of that. You can't get to adulthood before you go through puberty. I won't get it right the first time, but I will get it wrong really soon, really quickly."

It is funny, how smart people think alike ;)


Firefox 29 hits the beta, that means MacOs users get tabs in title line, finally!


That makes me wiling to try Firefox again, since amongst the Safari/Chrome/Firefox it was the browser that consumed most vertical space, which is an issue on mobile (less than 15") laptops - at least for me.


Give it a try .. it looks great in OS X native full screen mode.


NSF/NIH grants? :D


=(


RIP organic photovoltaics.


Not so fast.

We're working on it.


We too ;)


Yeah, fuck that shit!


Poor guy, couldn't get a job at Apple or Intel [0]. Got lucky Dropbox hired him.

They put cameras on the helmets? good enough to file an IPO...


They put cameras everywhere and sell a ton of them for quite a bit of money. Makes a lot more sense than losing money shoving 140 characters around the globe...

Check out their YouTube channel for examples of what their customers do with their cameras. It's pretty amazing.

We mount them in various locations on our aircraft during tests. GoPros have nice experimental science applications when you need a rugged camera with an integrated stable mount.


That's a pretty silly comment.

They're selling a somewhat specialized camera to a huge potential market, making billions of dollars.

It's a far more promising business plan than 99% of the startups I see mentioned on HN.


Really? The company might exceed $1 billion in revenue for all of 2013 in a Bloomberg TV interview last October.

This is a fairly ignorant comment. GoPro cameras are used in almost all sports or where weather hardened cameras are required.


They are hugely popular with a TON of different segments of sports. Everything from paintball to hunting to hang gliding to snowboarding to fly fishing. All have amazing user generated content from the gopro.


And their market is limited to people who go outside and move about. Who here would'a thunk it?


EPFL is cool... one day I will move there too :)


We don't know your password. Google doesn't know you're signing in to Zonino... mozilla knows ;)


Except the way the Persona protocol is designed means that Mozilla doesn't know either.


As someone else pointed out, Mozilla won't have to know once the protocol is more supported. Currently they're acting as a transitionary bridge, not a required element.

Also, iirc, Google doesn't have to know where you're signing in either. I'll have to double check that part.


The identity provider/bridge doesn't know either. They sign an assertion, so they know that you want to log in somewhere once, but not where or when.
