In a way short .com domains display some level of financial cost involved in obtaining them. If I saw a website hosted on hexagon.com I'd assume it's probably legitimate just due to the probable expensive of obtaining it being hig

We already have thousands of top level domains and it's utterly ridiculous. People with trademarks have an obligation to protect their mark or risk losing it. Depending how you read that, it can involve buying hundreds of different var

Does that really function? If I order socks audibly, I have no idea what I'm going to get. It's a lot more efficient to look through a page of images than to describe all the intricacies of my sock preferences via text to speech.

No, Siri only takes commands when you activate it. There's an "always listening" feature, but this is off by default and only works when you are plugged into external power.

It would be a lot cheaper to approach industries which already have very large FPGA clusters (weather forecasting do, for example) and rent some compute time on them with your own bitsteam. Problems like this are embarrassingly parallel and

The segmented downloads is a bit of a strange choice, granted. I thought it might have been to do with FAT32 but the decompressed file would be bigger than the 32bit limit anyway. The other stuff I don't really care about that much, fo

I'm not sure I'm getting the feel for this at all. It's almost as if it's targeted at reducing friction for people to test with internet explorer, but you need a Microsoft account to use it, you are limited to VNC speeds

There's something rather odd about showing off what I would consider to be a massive design flaw. They haven't worked out how to design interfaces for a circle yet, so everything just gets chopped up.

I'm not sure that's possible or desirable. They're relying on a bigger device for their cellular connection. Given that there's no immediate mention of battery life, we can assume it's quite a problem already withou

Ah, I wasn't aware of that. Prior to this people were confused about what Creative Cloud meant, so I assumed the parent was a continuation of that.

It's at odds with the name, but Creative Cloud runs independent of Adobe. "Cloud" refers to a harsher anti piracy check under the guise of a Dropbox like file storage that nobody uses.

Scaling the vector images is technically doable, but having them look good is another matter. Traditionally a lot of low-sized icons are hand massaged, otherwise due to the scaling you inevitably have most of the boundaries sitting across p
