Re:Firefox OS: System wide orientation lock in 45LOC by midnitewarrior on Friday May 31, 2013 @07:30AM (#5797934)
I guess Microsoft has been spending months writing KLOC trying to accomplish the same feat. Those silly people in Redmond!

Or, perhaps, their designers have decided that an orientation lock doesn't create the experience they are looking for. Just because you can have a feature doesn't mean you should have a feature.

The point is that MS didn't write a single line of code for this feature in the past years even though the users want it. But as th system is closed source, there's nothing to do about it.

With FOS, you can modify the OS.
