The Engadget Interview: Mozilla Firefox VP Johnathan Nightingale
Talk to those high up at Mozilla and they'll tell you that the platform war for third place is a waste of time; that Windows Phone and BlackBerry are as doomed as each other, because developers will never, ever be interested in the "five percent". That's not to say there isn't room for a rebellious alternative, but the way Mozilla sees it, such an option has already been available since the beginning. It's not another proprietary ecosystem, but something that spans all ecosystems: namely, the web itself, in all its open and hackable glory.
On the other hand, Johnathan Nightingale, VP of Firefox Engineering, acknowledges that most of his estimated 450 million users don't care a jot for this type of sermonizing. All they want is a good browser, which means Nightingale is in a constant "fight" with Chrome and IE over market share and new features. With Firefox OS barely off the ground (and full of uncertainty), and with no iOS relationship to speak of either, it falls to Firefox for Windows, Mac and Android to wage this war, and if you read on you'll discover why Nightingale thinks these browsers will win -- even when they may appear to be losing.

Call of Duty: Ghosts pre-E3 preview shows off more next-gen FPS action (video)
Call of Duty: Ghosts debuts this fall as the latest entry in a popular series, but our most in-depth look at it so far comes today. On the eve of E3 2013 press conferences Activision and Infinity Ward are giving a preview of what it will be like on the Playstation 4 and Xbox One, and even on the 122-ft wide screen they'll have in their booth. This is our best look at the game since a brief teaser trailer and word that its DLC will arrive first on the Xbox One. Other than a look at more next-gen gameplay, it also highlighted new elements like a dog named Riley that will accompany you in single player and can take commands via headset and broadcast video back to the player's character. Video of the preview event and the new gameplay footage are ready to view after the break. Check out a few new screenshots below before you click through.

?
By Karen Freifeld NEW YORK (Reuters) - Bank of America Corp could put its Countrywide Financial unit into bankruptcy if it fails to win court approval for an $8.5 billion settlement with mortgage investors, a bank executive said on Monday. Chief Risk Officer Terrence Laughlin was testifying at a hearing in New York state court on whether to approve the deal, which would settle claims by investors who said Countrywide misrepresented the mortgages underlying bonds they bought. ...?

Home insurance executive summary ? Bankrate, Inc.
Any fancy research study worthy of its footnotes these days begins with an executive summary, which, as the name implies, summarizes upfront the findings that follow. It's called an "executive" summary instead of what are arguably more appropriate titles because busy executives don't have time to wade through pages of wonk work to get to the point.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who no doubt has scanned his share of executive summaries over the years, figures it's exactly what his state's homeowners need to help them understand their home insurance.
Following in the wake of Superstorm Sandy, Christie signed a bill this month that would require home insurance companies to provide policyholders with a one-page executive summary. The summary would explain "notable coverages and exclusions under the policy" and must be "written in a simple, clear, understandable, and easily readable way." State insurance regulators were charged with establishing a timeline to implement the new law.
The executive summary idea arose from a December meeting of the New Jersey Assembly in which financial institutions and the state's insurance committee reviewed insurance snags that occurred following the freak October storm that devastated much of the Jersey shore. Issues that were identified included the fact that many homeowners simply did not understand the terms of their home insurance coverage.
"Understanding fully the insurance fine print can be among the most daunting tasks consumers face," said democratic state Assemblywoman Linda Stender. "Insurance companies need to provide clearer and better explanations of their policies, and this is a pro-consumer step in that direction."
When insurers expressed concern that the simplified contents of such an executive summary might expose them to even more litigation, the legislators amended the bill to require the summaries to be clearly labeled as a guide only and not the policy itself.
Christie has a point. Have you actually read your home insurance policy? Probably not. At best, you may have scanned the contract's checklist of coverages, which can often prompt more questions than answers. Even the declaration page, if you have one, can be stubbornly opaque.
That said, the unusual circumstances of is-it-a-hurricane-or-isn't-it Superstorm Sandy turned out to be a perfect storm of consumer confusion, testing the bandwidth of even the policy-savvy.
What's your read? Should all home insurance policies come with an executive summary?
