My ASUS Slider is supposed to be getting the update quite soon along with the Transformer. Last I read a couple weeks ago it was in final checks at Google.

The article seems to miss one key point that would make implementing this much more complex. While we have some control over our BMI (weight to height ratio) we don't have control over our height. I have two friends who are 5' tall and 6'5

I think cutting IE 8 off is a little premature. I agree it's a hassle to support but I think of for example Rogers Cable, a client of mine still sitting on locked down XP across the entire office base. You just cut their 6000-ish employee

Not to be a broken record for everyone else but I always keep a local copy (several) of all my data. I have a folder called "Store" and it is a large tree of everything I ever plan to keep long term. Parts of it are on various cloud servi

Right now it is the world's worst website because it's not loading at all... which is the single largest contributor to being a bad website. :)

Brilliant! Thank you, hadn't seen those before.

This is a bit of an aside from the article but I am an antique pocket watch collector. I have dozens of watches over 100 years old and a few in the 250 year range. The obvious first thought is to say I 'own' those watches. However, when y

They not check your ID at the gate? They always take my ticket and my passport, look at both, and say "Good morning Mr. B, have a nice flight".

Agreed, for the last while we have been instructing clients away from Paypal.

If Google wanted to do something visible they just have to flip the search page to a black background. Doesn't affect access to products but people will certainly notice.

Small tip... using markers to redact text and then putting through a good quality scanner is not fully effective. It's still mostly readable.

Great choice of music on the video!

Interesting since I just had this exact conversation with a fellow developer yesterday. Last year he moved from a very small shop into a large corporate environment (largely due to a better pay-cheque and a growing family) but he was lamen

Apple, for all the shit they get for being “closed” and “evil”, has actually done far more to wrestle control back from the carriers and put it into the hands of consumers. Don't think i agree here. Apple wrestled control from the carrie

I suspect the key difference might be that HTC doesn't want to release the following type of instructions: "Tap settings, Tap Applications, Tap Development, Enable USB Debugging, now install this software on your PC, connect your phone via

Quite possibly.

There is this line as well: "We continue to work on models launched prior to September 2011, please check back often for the status of older devices." My guess is the newest devices have an updated bootloader that they CAN unlock easily. I

Still only part way through and though I don't entirely agree with all the conclusions the thought experiment is proving to be fun. This however is my favourite point so far as I had never really thought about it this way when watching popu

We use 2 physical servers at Rackspace sitting behind a Cisco firewall. They are mirror images of each other and they load balance between them. Should one fail the other covers us until both are operational again. Rackspace handles hardw

My partner also had no clue what I do, so she asked to learn. Not to learn how to code, but what it involves. So we took a couple nights and we wrote a small program together just so she could understand what it means when I say 'function

I would bet that same lawyer couldn't have told you the make of any LCD TV at Best Buy if you removed their names either. Should all the flat panel TV manufacturers sue each other for copying because they all do shiny black flat devices wi

This is another reason I will always advocate local backups as well. Clouds may be soft and fluffy but sometimes they bite. We always think of a cloud data failure being extremely unlikely but so many other things can cause you not to be

I'm all for Flash dying in time, don't get me wrong but let me summarize your answer here: "Partly works, recent hiccups, runs on good hardware only, in progress (aka not here yet), blocked, smaller install base..." I am all set for Flash t

"...do whatever the verb of Google plus-ing is" The laugh from that line alone was worth my purchase price.

The sunset photo as the wallpaper on the phone in the article is appropriate. Still love my Nexus One.

Very nicely done, also enjoyed playing with the various versions you came across along the way. Have to say I'm quite impressed at the performance too. The machine I'm on right now only has Firefox 3.6 on it with its older, slower JS engi

Right off this comment gave me pause in the review: "It’s kind of incredible when you think about it. Competing phone-makers have had more than a year (a lot more considering the leaked photos of the iPhone 4 prior to its release) to best t

Cool! I did a forward jump then started kicking. I levitated in mid air able to kick indefinitely. I have never felt closer to the Matrix than that moment. :) Great work!
