Good point. Viewing distance needs to be taken into account. There is no reason this can't be solved though. How about instead of [m] we start thinking about the angle at which a an object falls into our retinas? Instead of pt or mm we coul

What looks strange to me is that semicolon is is not one of the most common in C-derived languages.

Not only awesome, it's the only reason why I would want to use this. Lets say I hear my iPhone buzzing in my backpack. I know I have my iMessages synched to my mac. Now the guessing game begins - should I pick the iPhone or wait until it ha

One question about messages: Does it only work with iMessages or does it actually integrate my SMS when the iPhone is in the same network?

Well do ribbons make it better for those users? Maybe a bit. But it's by far not an ideal solution to that problem. OSX's spotlighted help menu is.

That's EXACTLY the problem right there. You know what's probably the single best feature on OSX that nobody else has? The spotlight help menu. You never ever have to hunt for a command on your own again - and it even shows you where it is a

This post made me crack up. Especially the "call me back" feature. That's so bad it's hilarious. At least you have some good new smalltalk subjects now.

How do you know you are at a place for geeks? When human interactions are being explained in TCP terms instead of the other way round ;).

IMO it doesn't have most features of his list. It has ALL. And all of them implemented way better than TB. Searching E-Mails? Isn't TB still the application with two different convoluted interfaces for in-folder and all-folder search? Mail.

While it's an interesting idea, you would need one or even two of the big three players (MS, Apple, Google) to push this onto the market, otherwise you'd have a complete driver desert. I'd go one level above: make a HIL bridge between stand

So I assume it has multiple returns? Some smart built in error class I could actually see that removing the need for exceptions, yes. One new way I've found interesting in obj c is giving functions (an) error handling block argument(s). It

Until you see that most of the x86 ecosystem is not optimized for touch input. We're pretty much at the same point as with the old tablet PCs, except that they will have become lighter and with detachable keyboard. It doesn't solve the old

One aspect that's absolutely critical for tablets is weight. As an example, the weight difference of the iPad2 vs iPad1 makes a huge difference for me - only the latter allows me to hold it for longer periods without getting tired. The adva

Those two detectors are attached to the same accelerator, right? My guess is they don't because they cannot guarantee the results to be independent from each other?

I mean that from Microsoft's perspective. They apparently decided to put an object around something as simple and essential to performance as a line buffer. That's when you should have hired a system programmer to do that job. Don't get me

That's also what I understood. I think it is meant to be a software patent though. It reads very similar or equal to what OpenACC, CUDA and OpenCL do.

What does your laptop brand have to do with your choice of mobile development? MacBooks are quite good linux machines if you want to go that road.

Slightly off topic: May I ask you what's wrong with XML (as long as it is used for what it's meant?).

Yet 6 months was apparently enough - Apple's Appstore is still ahead.

My bad, I always thought the definition of Confederation to be a more closer coupled federation, but it's the other way round. I think we were being taught the wrong way.

Don't you mean a ->federation<- ? Switzerland is a confederation. Its 26 states have a lot of power, through the senate, state majority on national votes as well as sovereign areas like state taxes, education, state traffic. However

Seriously, how flawed is the design of the EU's political institutions? - No constitution right from the beginning. - Executive can overrule legislative (and even judicative?) - Legislative can hold up executive meetings (??)

Looks great, game changing in fact. It seems to be quite inline with Brent Victor's vision ( http://vimeo.com/36579366 ). One thing I'd like to see stolen from his demo: Once you have direct visual feedback on what you're doing, it makes a

While that blog post is a fun read, it's a bit of a stretch to quote it in this context don't you think? ;) "Once you're optimizing the runtime performance of Objective-C code, you're suddenly writing in C." 1) in idiomatic obj c you have a
