I'm skeptical anything too extreme will take off right away, particularly since battery life is such a big problem for 3G-enabled devices at the moment. I haven't read up on 4G, so I'm not familiar with the power requirements, but I can't i

Either go 2 * 19 + 1 * 27 or 2 * 24. I don't think that 1 * 27 is going to cut it, particularly if you're doing GUI development. I don't feel that the consolidated workspace makes up for the loss in total surface area. My setup currently c

I would argue that these problems are less relevant with a good window manager. Mac OS and Linux's GNOME and KDE both natively provide support for virtual desktops, which help reduce clutter and distraction. Moreover, if you want to truly m

No personal experience (currently applying for positions), but I know Skritter recently posted an offer of $4800 for 3 months plus housing and airfare. http://blog.skritter.com/2010/04/summer-intern-wanted-softwa...

Excellent idea. This would be a good solution if pg has the time to hack it together.

Given, and it surely promotes their visibility when you're looking for discussion threads explicitly. However, I find that when discussion/ask threads are mixed in with the aggregate, it's easier on the brain when they're clearly labeled as

Doubtful. The video says that all content is licensed under Creative Commons... So I imagine they won't even accept regular, works already copywrited by a publisher. The specific license they're using can be found here: http://creativecomm

Apple does not support any development environment other than XCode on an Intel Mac. Thus, if you want to do Objective-C development, your best bet is to get your hands on a Mac. Barring that, you could rig up Hackintosh, or Hackintosh VM i

It's not perfect, but if you're learning Android UI, check out http://droiddraw.org/ . It's a WYSIWYG interface editor, like Interface Builder. It's not pretty, but I found it to be a good way to understand the fundamentals.

The experiences are comparable. First, I'll address your concerns about code signing: Android doesn't require you to go through quite the same certificate/provisioning profile insanity, but you will have to sign your applications before dis

I develop applications for both platforms (no games yet, though) and, despite my disdain for Apple, I'd argue that iPhone is a better platform for developing 'conventional' games. The iPhone's ability to write in plain C will help if you're

I'm only a student, so take my words with a grain of salt. I don't mean to advertise for StackOverflow, but it struck me that an their job board would be the biggest competitor to a potential HN job board. I find that jobs.stackoverflow.com

I have to echo the sentiments of everyone else: as long as you'll be (reasonably) safe, do it. Having lived abroad myself (China), I can tell you that the experience will broaden your mind. Keep an open outlook and heed albertsun's advice t

I'm not sure who to recommend you to for an immediate solution, but it looks like Amazon is in the process of putting together an in-house SMTP service: http://mailchannels.com/contact/ec2-outbound-inquiry.html
