I just noticed this and want to say I think it's great. I think this has been something that's been asked about for close to three years now.

Forum Update - October 5, 2010 - Many Changes/Tweaks in Forum Issues Stardock Forums

Hey everyone! I just pushed an update to the forums. This update is a big one, made up of a lot of small changes and tweaks. The most significant change is that we now show which site posts, PM's, and karma are coming from. This is to help avoid confusion and to spread the word of the other forums and sites. Please take a look at the change log below for more info: Change Log: In posts, we now show which site the posts and each reply came

[quote who="Dr Guy" reply="40" id="2792517"]You may see it as circular, but it is straight line. They have to make money. The goods are search. And then they sold the highest hits, and sold ads to make the money. Search got them there. Ads.....Well who else does Firefox use to find out a site is a predator? A monopoly is not defined by 100% of a market. it is defined as effective control (in other words, they say jump and the market says how high).&nb

I don't think Google's problem is with choice, it's a problem with what to do add and what not do add. Perhaps they worded it wrong, but I think what they mean is "we have a priority list and we can't simply add every single feature everyone wants." In fact, even Mozilla has this same design mantra. They provide the basic minimum features that they think will be used the most, and let developers add the rest through plugins. How is that any different from Chrome? &nbsp

[quote who="SirBedwyr" reply="28" id="2791458"] But you'll notice that I didn't really mention UI, as that's entirely based on opinion, not fact. So if you don't like the UI, fair enough, but that doesn't mean Chrome ISN'T the best browser in the market in every other respect You know how in meetings people sometimes disagree about the fact that they're actually agreeing and make the meeting go 30 minutes longer? I think we're doing that. So yeah, agr

[quote who="SirBedwyr" reply="22" id="2791308"] Google Chrome is the fastest browser on the market (not just for initial load, but javascript speed, rendering, extensions, etc.). It is also the most secure, has the easiest extension model (even though it is in it's infancy), and has a much faster development cycle than the others. Those are not opinions, these are facts, proven time and again. If those things don't make it the best browser in the market, then tell me wh

[quote who="taltamir" reply="5" id="2790659"]@GunslingerBara: what is wrong with windows 7? And you can have a successful product despite making mistakes. IE6 dominated the market, the fort model T was the only car anyone would buy for some time. If you intentionally disallow choice because you believe your way is best, then people will leave you for alternatives as soon as alternatives show up. The apple iPad is an apple product, apple fanatics would buy anything that s
