Why is Google blocking Inbox on Firefox?

Recently, Google launched a new service called Inbox. It's basically Gmail re-invented with a different UI and UX. It's a good tool which improved my ability to keep a zero email inbox. I'm currently using the Android application of Inbox and not at all on the desktop, since it's not available for Firefox, my default browser. This requires me to open up Inbox in Google Chrome if I want to see it. Opening up Inbox in Firefox gives the following message:

But, I couldn't understand why it's only available in Google Chrome so I started investigating on why it's so.

Installing git on CentOS 5 using yum

Since you're using CentOS 5, the default package manager is yum, not apt-get. To install a program using it, you'd normally use the following command:

$ sudo yum install <packagename>

However, when trying to install git this way, you'll encounter the following error on CentOS 5:
