In fact they are not supporting MIR, nor planning to do.

Both feature the web browser as the central ui and app runtime.
They are two different products, Linux distributions install the one called "browser", with a search engine as start page, and yes... when you use a search engine to find beautiful things on the internet, you also send your requests to the search engine.
Not Firefox without your consent: You.Last edited by Maudit; 28 July 2013, 05:17 PM.

Maybe you should understand the tool before using it or just use the file browser to search for files locally. The Dash is not only a local file browser. It does what is expected.
With the "little" difference that dash is not aggregating "informations" but "products", not from an "internet search engine" but from an "on-line store". In fact, as stated before, Dash+Lens = spyware+adware.Last edited by Maudit; 28 July 2013, 05:18 PM.

A notice has since been put in place for users to know exactly what happens when they search in the dash. If they don't like it then they can disable it. If they are fine with it then they can use it. I don't see exactly where the problem is.

The point is a distribution, that features latest technologies that will find their ways in other respins/distributions.
The point is to benchmark the herald of Linux tech, not some NIH, half-arsed, buggy, talk-about-humanity-yet-do-crap non-Linux!
In my opinion the distribution(s) with the highest number of users should be benchmarked. There is no point in benchmarking a distribution which is barely used.
I really don't care what performance I could get if I was using distribution X. I will always use the distribution which has the highest number of users because simply put, it attracts the most packagers. This way I can use prepackaged software and concentrate on my work instead of my OS.
Benchmarking something that is not used, just for the sake of a technology preview, is only helpful from an academic point of view. But it's useless if the majority of the Linux users are not able to benefit from this performance simply because they are using a different distribution. That might be the fault of the distribution still it doesn't change anything for the end user.

I challenge you to identify, uncover and show everybody the troll post you say i made. Till then i will return characterization but as an anti-Ubuntu troll.
I am not the one who have clearly stated his preference in a distro. You are.Last edited by verde; 28 July 2013, 05:59 PM.
