What kind of help is needed? Also is there any chance of switching to Janea Systems' NodeJS builds so that we get 32-bit and x86 Android support? http://www.janeasystems.com/blog/announcing-node-js-mobile-a...
I'm unsure if Smartcards classify as NFC, but there's also WebNFC. https://w3c.github.io/web-nfc/

That and they wouldn't get classic BitTorrent compatibility in a web app.
"If this what you wrote was true then you would see big adoption of webtorrent which is not the case." You're missing the point. Think of it this way. Check out this video:…
"That's a pretty big hurdle considering most regular torrent users don't even realize WebTorrent exists" They don't need to. That's the point. If I send a user to https://file.pizza/ to transfer a file to them. Not once…
I feel this is a moot point. I'm pretty sure the install base of WebRTC data channels is far higher than BitTorrent (Chrome, Firefox, Opera and soon Edge and Safari), so existing Torrent clients providing support only…
The "Safari is the new IE" article was about them being slow to adopt APIs and the yearly release cycle attached to OS updates. This is about visuals and UI based APIs that can be polyfilled. They matter but not as much…
To be honest, this isn't true. Chrome Packaged Apps allow developers to build alternative browsers using Native Client. Just no one has bothered to do so because it wouldn't make much of an impact, plus alternate…
I doubt Edge will do this only because of one feature I was surprised to see Microsoft add support for... ASM.js. ASM.js lets supporting browsers run optimized JavaScript code at near native speed and is backwards…
IndexedDB support is horrible across all browsers. You'd be surprised at how much of the spec Chrome doesn't support.
"The new windows is so much better in fact that there's no longer any reason to buy anti-virus and anti-malware software to deal with its defects." That's Windows 8.
All web devs and Android app devs need now is an API for an app to dynamically add icons to the app drawer, so that web apps can be added to the app drawer via Google Chrome. The permissions for this will have to be on…
They do. https://developer.chrome.com/native-client/overview
Moving from XAP to APPX will be the most important part of this update.
aka "Progressive Enhancement"
Articles like this make me realize how much people barely know what's going on in Android. The ability to change homescreens existed for years now, I think the API was even in Android 1.0 (I can guarantee it's in 1.6 at…
But if content providers refuse to not use DRM anyways, won't Haiku users still lose out regardless? If you can't use HTML5 DRM with Netflix your other options are either Silver light or a native app and Haiku has…
I think this campaign is aimed at the wrong company.
If this is true. I saw this coming. The story of Gary McKinnon gave me this feeling. Also the constant Chinese hacker issue and reports from the Obama administration on how low-tech the White House is added to that…
CNET claimed that they have an insider that stated that the XBox One has a publishing environment similar to the XBox 360 where only large companies can submit apps. Hopefully this is changed before the Build conference…
"so if you want to release your app on four platforms you need to test it four times." Wouldn't submitting 4 separate apps require the same amount of attention (if not more)?

I think the silliest thing Microsoft did with the XBox One (and Windows Phone 8) was give it a separate app store from Windows 8. In technology, it runs a version of Windows 8 under the hood for apps Microsoft pretty…
