2 years is pushing it. People should not get new devices every second year to have a good experience. We should certainly not limit ourselves for the sake of the past, but it should be possible to build technology that doesn't officially "e

Well, unless you sync it and lose all the apps because their newest versions don't support the old iOS anymore and there is no way to "downgrade". I agree with you that things don't need to be constantly updated and upgraded to be awesome,

Obviously for Microsoft including a $400 copy of their own software doesn't actually cost $400, unless one hundred percent of the people who get the surface would buy Office 2010 if it wasn't included.

After it killed it's rival, development practically stopped for several years, and the progress of the web stopped with it. You know how everybody hates AT&T and Verizon for not bothering to make a better service because they essentiall

Indeed. One really has to question how this sort of thinking affects humanity in the long term. Modern business has become too meta to the point where it hurts the actual product and market.

No requirement to learn anything else? Reading and writing are pretty good skills no matter what your situation.

The US has a very sue-happy culture though, things might not escalate that quickly in other parts of the world, thus not requiring so much control of the social side of a workplace.

Doesn't their phone say "SAMSUNG" on the top of the frontside? Surely Samsung wanted to mimic that sleek smartphone feeling that was all the rage, but try to confuse customers with a clone? They would be doing a terrible job.

As the other shave pointed out, it's just the Google Chrome UI wrapped around the iOS browser. I would hardy call that "the only real compelling reason to buy the Google tablet".

This is most likely true for Chrome yes, but it's almost definitely true for IE. I feel confident claiming that at the very least half of the IE users use it because they don't have a choice or because they got it as default on Windows.

What you are asking is akin to asking what English is lacking to become a poem. HaXe is a language, not an engine.

Not entirely true, it depends on the platform. While compiling to JavaScript obviously results in JavaScript code (which is what the browser can understand), but compiling to Flash does not compile to ActionScript 3 and then the flash assem

Sorry but terrible idea. Not even 1% of facebook users would stick around. And before you argue that 1% of the current user base would be great, the usefulness of a social network is greatly diminished if your friends aren't there, making e

Exactly. There is just no way that you can arrive this late to the "free" party and expect to make profits by selling.

> It is, but you can also port existing applications to JS. You can't just port things to JavaScript the same way. JavaScript is a very different sort of language. "porting" something to JavaScript pretty much always means remaking the

That requires JavaScript to be enabled, which limits it a bit.

There is a horrible amount of waste because of the many levels of management. The higher ups often push software changes on us because of some agenda (it was developed in-house) when the software is very inferior and will hurt our productiv

I find it very fascinating how horribly bad A* is at finding it's way though a spiral shape. Some of the more primitive algorithms did better.

I'm not the most knowledgeable within mobile geekery, but couldn't you in buy an android phone with no contract over the net and get a sim card for it?

That's pretty much the same as "never" being released. After that much time games lose their steam and people start talking about a sequel instead. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure it still sells after two years, but the whole "brand new game t

If a carrier is being evil I can switch to another carrier though. And if enough people avoid carriers because they lock you in, they will take notice. There is nothing like this for iPhone. You can't go to a different company than Apple to

What matters more is the fact that if a family member of mine wants me to make a personalized app for their iPhone, it's not doable unless the great big Apple approves of the app. (or we jailbreak). That's just ridiculous in so many ways. E

I'm sure we could have some sort of JSVM, we could even have some sort of bytecode for the HTML, but it would destroy part of what makes the web so great: it's openness. The ability to view the source of any webpage, and even make chances a

I can see your argument, but I'm having a hard time grasping the "Thanks, Chome!" comment as if they were the ones who fired you. Obviously if your workplace fires you for this they are in error for using inaccurate data.

This always seemed like the next logical step for me, and I'm surprised it wasn't implemented in various browsers earlier on.

No, it shows exactly the opposite. Google doesn't except it's own servers from the malware search.
