I haven't set up two-factor auth yet because I don't always have my phone handy and my understanding of it is that on each log-in you need to use both factors. My comments below are based on this understanding so forgive me if I'm wrong. Wh

Brilliant! My company had a short spell in the very early 90's where we dabbled in 3D product visualization for clients with 3D Studio on DOS. At the time we were writing add-ons and engineering tools for Autodesk products and exploring ot

Being from Canada, I for one welcome our new plastic overlords. I'm curious about the actual hand feel but the durability will certainly be welcome. Also curious to see how these affect counting machines, etc. I do a lot of work at large

I think the HN title of this post is misleading to the actual article content. The HN title here implies that the women in tech are apologizing, when she is actually saying to men "Please stop apologizing for other offensive males in tech,

I feel for you as you have the technological version of my curse. It is a standing joke among my friends that if I like a dish at any restaurant it will be stricken from the menu next time it is revised. Seems the same people also say "Oh

I still don't see gesture based control as the 'future of computing'. I think it can have wide applications in gaming (already does) and as this shows, presentation, or perhaps short interactions with a home control system as you walk thro

When I evaluate a portfolio attached to a resume this one of the first things I check for of there is a form in the portfolio. If the developer hasn't done it that is a big strike right there. I was on a site the other day, I can't remembe

My bigger question is, have you created the 'No' version yet?

Adding another comment after my one below. I couldn't get the record button (just a keyboard button) and thought it might be because I am in Canada. To test I remoted into our server in Texas and opened the doodle from there... presto, a

I get the keyboard too, no ability to record or play back anyone's existing tunes.... odd. Thought maybe it was because I am in Canada? Tried in FF and Chrome.

I have concerns about this. While it is a neat concept and the implementation is impressive, the reality may be problematic. A lot of users may not have the dexterity to accomplish this task with a pointing device, like my Mother. Not to

To me this is just one of the early cases of what will become an inevitable trend. Not just to avoid Apple licensing policies but also to target multiple platforms with one app. HTML5 is rapidly hitting a tipping point that allows for mor

"Google’s frame is the browser window. Apple’s frame is the screen." So by extension Google's applications are more cross platform, and Apple's aren't?

I have to comment that I completely agree with not being able to interact with notifications without unlocking the phone. The idea of a screen lock (aside from phone security for some) is to prevent accidental interactions in your pocket.

I am going to make this comment and it might be unpopular but it is definitely not meant to be a slag against iOS. I am noticing that a lot of the new iOS features are "missing features" from other mobile OSs... and since I'm really only

Couldn't agree more. I was also in the thick of things when .NET came out. We had a large established base of apps on the pre-existing versions of Visual Studio. The whole migration nightmare/uproar to .NET is still fresh in my mind and

From the article: "Fortunately, WP7 avoids the absolute failure that is Android’s menu button." Personally that is my favorite button. I think it's a big win that the options for every application can be found in one place instead of havin

If this is true, and if this is about his notification system... is there not a fine dose of irony in the fact that Apple hired a guy, because he made a product, that functioned only on jail broken phones, which Apple fights hard to prevent

Agreed, not to mention that honestly I don't have a big problem with it. I have it load on demand and my device is old now, a Nexus One. I load and play flash games regulairly without issue. I keep hearing that Flash sucks on Android but

This is somewhat off topic and a completely non-technical response but am I the only one who gets a small dose of 'warm fuzzies' when large competitors join forces on something like this? Everything we read is always competition, lawsuits,

But see that's the thing... touch is not "forward". Touch is an alternate method of PC interaction which is good for day to day tasks but definitely not good for everything. This is exactly what I find impressive about this new concept, t

I have watched a lot of these initiatives come and go but this one is the first that I think has a strong chance of success. The core elements are already integrated for full functionality and offers. With a bank and credit company on boar

In my personal opinion offsetting a few KB of extra download size with perhaps years of system resources lost to run an extra add-on makes no sense for something that has been there all along. Not to mention that removal of the 'status bar

The issue here for me would be the difference between 'removing' and 'turning off by default'. I don't mind if I can turn the bar back on and put it where I like it as I consider it to be an essential item for me. If it's just a case of t

Just agreeing with the other comments here. This is not a 'hack'.. this is just an unfortunate consequence of the original breach. All the information was taken so Sony has nothing else to verify your identity with that can't be 'spoofed'
