I like how they used a massive picture and then scaled it down in the IMG tag instead of just resizing the picture and putting it on the page. Very entertaining...!

If only Google Glass was $25! Having said that, the videos I would produce would be me driving to work, staring at a screen for 7.5 hours and then driving home, followed by cats looking at me all evening. Of course, this would also be punct

If Skype didn't crash on iOS and destroy the battery, it'd be great! As it stands, I would prefer not to have it if travelling around the world :-) Having said that, I have used it on Android whilst by a Cornish harbour to ring ho

Haha yes I remember running Calmira II on a Windows 3.1 486 SX25 with very little RAM (or was it a 386 monoscreen laptop?) in the desire to get the functionality of Windows 95. How little I knew! Happy days.

And here I was thinking that Vox meant the guitar amplifier manufacturer, like the one I have at home (doing nothing)! Can anyone update the title at all?

No, I thought the personnel costs / salaries was bonkers too. EDIT: I read some of the comments on the Verge's page and it seems that the salaries were over a few years, and apparently that isn't bonkers money! I must be out

It is good, but have you seen the lack of storage? I am sure I have USB keys with larger storage, and I have more MP3s than will fit on its storage. It is abysmal.

Well done, keep it up! I am 30 in a few months and already a developer so it is great to see someone marginally older than me just taking it up. Out of interest, what did you do before?

Tried a Bluetooth keyboard? I have a cheap Chinese knock-off of an Apple keyboard and it works fine. In fact, when using my Motorola Xoom, I use the Bluetooth keyboard plenty when typing because a) typing on a screen is really slow and b) t

So would you be happy with modern devices with Palm screens? I don't think anyone would. The screens are the power drains. The actual processing power has skyrocketed, and I consider the power available in a modern phone to be quite am

Try using their mobile app - it is significantly easier than sitting with your laptop and messing around with uploading photos. I found the Android app easier - photograph items with your mobile/tablet and upload from there. You might

Resizable and draggable windows lets you arrange items on the screen very similar to the way that you have items on a desk. It works - it isn't broken or out of date. When writing in a notebook on my physical desk, I do not want my not

Windows 7 onwards has keyboard shortcuts - WinKey + cursors moves the windows to snap to half of the screen (top, bottom, left, right) and learn the Alt-Space-then X to maximise and Alt-Space then R to restore. If you happy using the mouse,

I haven't been to any conferences, but I am employed to write for Windows and Mac OSX. Happily, on a Mac with a Windows VM. In the UK too! But I think you are correct that the majority of development work is in the MS world for busines

I recently had to maintain C++ code from about 15 years ago. It is nothing like the new C++11. C++11 is a completely different beast, with many enhancements. Looks good - I recommend you read Stroustrup's C++11 book; if you are familia

Their plans look surprisingly like a Motorola Atrix! It runs Android normally but also has an old Ubuntu ARM system on it which it runs when docked. Having said this, it needed a severe amount of hacking around and rooting to get it to a us

Try any sporting events in the UK such as horse racing at Cheltenham. It'll be impossible to make any mobile calls due to the number of devices and lack of coverage by the masts. Wireless space is limited too (too many wifi devices) so they
