However, Mozilla claims its actions are in line with the contract that was signed at the time, which includes a clause that stipulates Yahoo must continue to make payments to Mozilla until the contract end date, even if Yahoo is no longer used as the default search engine.
Looks like a candidate for worst contract ever signed by a major company. I'd suggest firing the lawyers who approved it; except they were probably among the first people Verizon sacked when it started cutting costs after eating Yahoo.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

For a bunch of people providing free products (browser) and services (search engines) to us consumers, they sure like to spend waste their money.

A group led by a University of Maryland computer scientist has designed a new algorithm that incorporates artificial neural networks to simultaneously apply a wide range of fixes to corrupted digital images. Can it remove my thumb from those photos?
|

|

I don't know, but if you exactly mean as corrupted images fixing, probably Adobe Photoshop CS spot healing brush as well as the number of plug-ins such as Topaz Re-mask allow to do exactly the same, but not using AI neural networks.
Once, I've already used those tools to remove scratches from a family photo made an almost century ago. 
But, anyway, it's rather interesting news. Thanks.

The mastermind behind some of the world's biggest and longest-running botnets has been jailed and his vast criminal infrastructure has been taken down, in part because of a careless operational security blunder that allowed authorities to identify his anonymous online persona. A mastermind, but still using ICQ?

The Securities and Exchange Commission has charged Canadian crypto company PlexCorp with violating securities laws by selling up to $15 million in an initial coin offering (ICO). A cryptocurrency scam? Say it ain't so!

Why do the world’s smartest and busiest people find one hour a day for deliberate learning (the 5-hour rule), while others make excuses about how busy they are? "Throw in undependable too"

I spend at least an hour a day on Code Project, and I definitely learn something every time!

WebAssembly now ships on by default in the four major browsers and the .NET community continues to push forward to provide .NET developers the ability to compile their to WebAssembly and run it in the browser. "It is not done well; but you are surprised to find it done at all."

|

|

Why doesn't Microsoft just make a browser that supports .NET natively? And while they're at it, they could clean up the HTML/CSS mess as well.

The last thing we need is more browser fragmentation. Web Assembly as a target makes a lot of sense, as it will run on all major browsers and platforms.

Exactly. We need to one browser that uses C# .NET framework form the scripting, and, ok, XAML (but preferably something better) for the layout. How hard can that be? I'm sure we can get that passed in the tax bill.

Media Extensions are Media Foundation components designed to extend the core Windows platform and enable Windows apps including Microsoft Edge to support an ever-increasing range of formats. As requested by "that guy" that uses OGG Vorbis
Of course, I suspect "that guy" only uses GNU/Linux, but here you go anyway.
