I love the concept, but wonder why it doesn't come with 4G/LTE (seems like a 'new' device should) Oh, come now. You can't even buy an unlocked phone with LTE for less than $400. That cellular stuff is not cheap!

"But be careful where you draw the line. In the 50s, a reddit about interracial marriage might have been considered harmful and in some places illegal." And that's the point. What is and isn't acceptable is fluid and subjective. Reddit says

From what I can tell, Harbin seems like A Good Bloke. It doesn't surprise me to hear of the brogrammer environment given the way they've marketed (the YouTube video, recruitment flyers with Insanity Wolf on), but it's good that he stepped u

And it's not a one-time payment, they want a subscription payment every year, which is incredibly obnoxious for a desktop app.

This is very anecdotal, so I will follow up with one too. Driving north on 280 towards Daly Ciry, I tried to get directions to In n Out. Multiple call outs referred to a "Mission St" that does not exist. Even in SF, iOS 6 has significant ma

Yeah, absolutely. Go and Dart really both fit needs of working with large software and giant scales. As I think they've both said independently, conservative design was considered a design bonus. You can see why as it gets teams up-to-speed

I think this is something we'll just have to wait and see on, AFAIK we don't know what the APIs and such on WP8 are yet.

Most iPad apps have iPhone equivalents, or are built and distributed as a single app for both platforms. Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 does not appear to have this functionality. There was rumors of WP8 apps being usable on Windows 8, but I

Nokia's new phones look fantastic. But their last ones looked fantastic, too. I think this totally sums up Nokia (and Microsoft's) predicament. They're doing all the right things, and they still can't seem to catch a break. Google's tacti

Oh, neat! I think there is an aspect which I didn't mention of "Who do you trust with your code?" and GitHub has done well to earn the trust of lots of great companies, but I can certainly see IT managers getting a bit ancy at adding anothe

I love this a lot , but I would love this more if GitHub bought up Travis so I can do things like have Travis run on private repositories. I'm really glad Travis has such awesome sponsors keeping them alive, but I think most paying custome

Computer Science is sort of odd in that respect, and it does vary from department to department. For example, my undergrad school was very clear that everyone's home directories were set to being publicly readable, and that it was expected

I think a lot of it is that people sort of did want some static type checking, but were not willing to give up on things like garbage collection or some of the other niceties that the dynamic languages provided. As someone who has been clam

It seems highly unlikely that even if there was source code, the candidate would be able to remember it with a high enough level of detail to warrant this.

One thing I have noticed is that there is a weird transitional period we are in with a number of major sites who have optimized for the iPhone and iPad already. For example, photos in the News Feed on Facebook are HiDPI, as are some image

What changed was that Nokia was on the rocks, so they launched their missiles. And, as is the way with mutually assured destruction scenarios, Apple responded, and everyone else got dragged in one way or another.

FWIW, Things Cloud is turned off by default, and is not required for the operation of the software.

I think it's a great feature. "I remember reading something about X. Was it on Google+? Was it a blog post? Was it in my email?" Now you don't have to hit a number of services. I think your assumption, even for you, that you remember the so

You don't need to gauge interest if you believe in the product. The story they are selling of a truly immersive environment is something core gamers have been looking for for years, and there is a pretty full graveyard of companies that tri

"Involve the community" is a vacuous statement. It doesn't mean anything. What involves a developer community is company support, some indication that the work they do will exist and be profitable. If Gabe Newell really liked it, they'd all

Then it doesn't need a Kickstarter, does it? They don't need Kickstarter taking their cut. They need a web site and an actual company presence, no?

The OUYA is a self-perpetuating media machine that is built on a very shaky foundation in reality. It's driven on the dreams of those who would love, in essence, the Steam Box: a console that is not controlled in the same way Microsoft and

The video sets off all sorts of alarm bells. Something about this is very, very wrong. Why would all these game developers agree to be in a video endorsing the product, but not actually front money for it? iD/Zenimax, Epic and Valve would a

My feeling is that Microsoft is much closer to a post-files world than Apple is. Apple thinks files should stay within the app, which is exactly the opposite of why we had consumer-viewable file systems in the first place. We want/need to b

[citation needed] I'm fairly sure that Mac OS X was here first, and it was copied to XP. IIRC, I was running Windows ME at the time of Mac OS X, and ME did not have those default folders.

Yeah, SSD is completely negated when the file system has to wait for an external drive to spin up before it will be responsive, even if you're only using the local drive. Because there's no setting for automounting and unmounting a Time Mac

This doesn't seem like it is going to change. Ever. The course Apple was on software-wise when Jobs passed away Apple seems terrified of moving away from, even when it was clear at the time that desktop was not getting full attention over i

Okay, so there are issues with academia. How do those get solved? They don't. As far as I can tell, all the problems, bar those that stem directly from funding, have always been there. That's the nature of the institution. What changed, f

iMessage has never worked with any reliability for me. I'm sure the client side is fine, but their backend is likely totally busted.
