Touch is very laggy on iPads. It's still eminently usable, and there's nothing better, so no one complains. But to an interaction expert like Ive, it must be really horrible - it certainly seems so to me. In contrast, mouse-pointer movemen

"would we pay for this?".... and as a cash strapped startup we said no. Thank you! I'd come to the same conclusion myself - it's reassuring to hear someone else say it. The important thing is to see from your customer's point of vie

One problem with Unity is lack of a linux plugin (whereas Flash has one). Is it "web-based" if it doesn't work everywhere the web does? But whatever your answer to that theoretical question, in practice, I cannot play Unity games because I

Not the tools, but for ARM performance: first, how does your 550 compare with the Acer C7 Chromebook? http://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/devices/acer-c7-chromeb... Both are listed as having a dual-core Celeron. EDIT google says your 5

Keep your options open I don't think it models intelligence; but maybe it models wisdom. The prediction part requires intelligence. I can understand physicists getting excited over a simple mathematical model that explain a lot. Lik

How much of your terabyte is yours? The duplication seems to be at least three times (more?), so that would be 333GB. Note: it doesn't matter how finely you cut it up, you need duplication to avoid loss. It can be ameliorated by the cloud

Annoyance: you start reading, and the page suddenly scrolls back to the top. That is, the page has mostly loaded. You scroll down, and start to read. The rest of the page loads, and it scrolls back up to the top. (I'm assuming the page cod

It's personal. You have found what works for you: "I can focus non-stop for 10-12 hours", and if "Even those 10 hour sessions require an hour or two to get started." then force yourself to spend those 1-2 hours to get started. A key trick

I feel very sorry for this guy. He's likely seriously harmed or maybe ruined his career as a lawyer. Acting out of emotion and hubris is a terrible mistake, but understandable, like a Greek tragedy; a cautionary tale for anyone who's ever

One of Intel's advantages is being a process node ahead of other foundries: 22nm vs 32nm.

I know it's irrelevant, but I really can't get past the terrible name "Rust", meaning corrosion. Why not call it "Ruined", "Broken", "Stupid" or "Bug-ridden"? It's almost as bad as naming it for emasculated slaves.

One great strength here is the smallness of market. Easy to dominate. Unattractive to large competitors.

Many smartphones have HDMI out, and usb for a controller. It seems inevitable that they'll replace consoles (and desktops/laptops). Especially with wireless controllers and HDMI. But I think the significant thing is price: you cannot buy a

A common motivation for acquisitions is to buy users, not technology. YouTube used PHP and the video tech in flash - but they were the ones to grow the userbase (and continue to do so). If Summly had the product/marketing to be popular an

I was looking into these recently, thinking the A15 dual core + T604 Mali in the Samsung chromebook was getting pretty good ($250 http://amzn.com/B009LL9VDG )... but the Acer chromebook, with a crummy intel celeron and HD 4000 is faster

1. the worth of an innovation is relative to the previous methods available. So in your example, it would be reasonable for each of the workers to have altavista or whatever (i.e. not limited to 100 pages of google search). 2. This is more
