Asus’ Chromebook Flip looks and feels great, unless you’re typing on it
Each one of these laptops has one or two really great points counterbalanced by one or two unfortunate compromises. Usually, you’re either trading performance for general aesthetics and build quality or the other way around. Chromebooks with nice screens tend to have slower internals, and Chromebooks with better internals are usually generic plastic laptops with faded, cheap LCD panels. And of course, there’s always the Chromebook Pixel, perfect in pretty much every way except that $999 price tag.

Off the Beat: Bruce Byfield's Blog
Marketing to FOSS is radically different from general ads to consumers or to other businesses. To start with, FOSS can be deeply suspicious about exploitation and free-riding from business outsiders. Just as importantly, FOSS contributors are often as intelligent as they like to think, and would prefer to make decisions based on information rather than emotional appeals. For these reason, FOSS marketing needs a delicate touch in order to reach its target audience.

Mozilla Disables Flash in Firefox
As the zero days in Adobe Flash continue to pile up, Mozilla has taken the unusual step of disabling by default all versions of Flash in Firefox.
The move is a temporary one as Adobe prepares to patch two vulnerabilities in Flash that were discovered as a result of the HackingTeam document dump last week. Both vulnerabilities are use-after-free bugs that can be used to gain remote code execution. One of the flaws is in Action Script 3 while the other is in the BitMapData component of Flash.

You don't have to be a villain to say Flash must die
I won’t pretend to be Steve Jobs—I don’t even own a mock turtleneck—but I have to repeat his words from April 2010: “Flash is no longer necessary to watch video or consume any kind of web content.” Flash is a constantly exploited, superannuated bit of technology that useful in the early days of multimedia in web browsers, and now deserves to die.
When Jobs wrote “Thoughts on Flash” over five years ago, it was in response to the notion that Flash should be available on iOS. At the time, I asked repeatedly for Adobe to stage demonstrations in private using iOS development tools to show Flash running. They never took me up on it, or any other writer that I’m aware of, even though they had the ability. Flash for Android, when it appeared, was terrible. Within two years, it was dead.
