I like the idea a lot actually. Using Apple's frameworks for web apps could indeed be useful. I just wonder to what user numbers such a service would scale, given Apple's limited hardware offerings. Didn't Apple promote using VMware boxes o

I wouldn't bet on it in the long run though, the way they are murdering through features.

I guess on Linux (or any POSIX OS) it's not really necessary, since everything should still be fixable from the terminal. However it reinforces the notion that someone who can't use the terminal (= 99% of users probably) should stick to W

It's always amazing to me to read about all those promising projects from Microsoft research groups, yet none of it seems to make its way to paying customers. I still remember the courier as well as that zero lag touch screen demo - super i

It's amazing to me how many media outlets still don't optimize for embedded, given today's usage numbers.

Could you comment on the points that have been made about removed features in nautilus and things like removing launchers? I'm not a heavy linux user myself but those issues stroke me as very significant, to the extent that I would never to

I think part of the reason is that you can now read much smaller text, so you don't have to fiddle around the zoom level all the time. The chrome and top menu could be a bit smaller but it's not really a bit issue for me when browsing. For

May I ask you whether you have ever sat with one of those 'retina' devices (I know you don't like the word, but there isn't really a better way to put it) for some extended time, say >1h? If you had, and your eyesight is normal, I can

Goddamnit yes. Waiting years for this.

That's an interesting thought actually. Maybe hackers are those who 'kept their child inside'?

Sorry, but this is BS. First of all I'm European and my wife is Japanese. Asked her - same answer. Second of all - just try some mind trick where you go outside yourself and try to observe something objectively, say as an 'Alien' who visits

I don't think this question is a good example of being culturally linked. Rather it asks for knowledge about the world you live in. What characteristic of an animal do you think is most important? - that it's koscher? (very cultural) - the

There is certainly something to what you say. The advantage of the GPU model is that you can have the ALUs occupying a much higher percentage of your die if each core is less independent. Independent threads is not necessarily what you need

I've done my master thesis on GPGPU, so maybe I can help out a bit. I'm not yet too familiar with Epiphany's design however. From what I could grasp what sets them apart the most is a different memory architecture compared to multicore CPUs

Did you ever try to submit to the Apple app store? All the stories I see about rejections come from sometimes strange reasonings but it's actually always transparent why they rejected an App. I had the same experience with my one app, t

How does that clear up anything? Wouldn't it make more sense to not use the Windows product name at all for the RT version? After all - where are the Windows? Even Apple, with their annoying iBranding, is more bold when it comes to introduc

Well I'm not on Windows right now, but I guess it depends on the use case. For normal use of the start menu almost never. However pressing start key + typing the application name shows the best hit at the top as far as I remember. How is th

From Fitt's law description on Wikipedia [1]: "It describes untrained movements, not movements that are executed after months or years of practice" That was exactly my intuition looking at those graphs. There's no way I'm going to be as fas

- yet their new GUI is clearly not mouse optimized and I'd argue it's not trackpad gestures optimized either. The mouse movement to do anything is just too long.

And that's important because? What makes Chrome look cleaner to me is mostly the number of strong horizontal / vertical lines I have to orient my eyes at - and in what order those lines appear. In chrome I see First line = bottom border of

I think you might have a point. Only now it's probably too late for them to do that, you can't take away what users already have.

Yes that's true. That's the only feature mentioned here that I do miss as well on Chrome.

Ok, so it's eye candy and the built-in dictionary from what I can make out from your post. I agree with the dictionary, the icon and to some degree the right click menu - two of those features I hardly use however. The toolbar looks just fi
