No. They're not the police or the court, they have no business playing ones. Attitude like yours gives us stupid privacy-violating terrorism and "protect-the-children" laws.

And yet.. He still hates "Android" instead of US carriers and non-existing regulation.

Hmm... most subscription packages around here are of type "1000 Min, 1000 SMS, 1000 MB" or some such so B profits aren't really high. Also pricing being competitive, there's not much difference in SMS/data/call prices outside dataplans. Tha

That makes no sense: here they sell unlocked phones but you still have to keep contract for two years if you want it subsidized. So there's no reason to rise phone prices: you still have to pay full contact subscription even if you change t

Depending on the charger really. My car charger for example also couldn't keep up with the 3GS's power draw when using Navigon - even when it was connected to the charger, the battery was losing power by ~5% per hour.

Um... that's a basic topic covered in any CS discrete maths course. What's so special about this one?

Anectodal - here in Slovenia all mobile phone operators just ran out of all Galaxy Nexus shipments (same as they did when S2 launched). Pricing is practically identical vs. iPhone (both S2 and GN sell for about 400-430€ in widely-used subs

Well, Unix shells under Windows don't even implement forking, so this test is kinda meaningless isn't it? It's like racing cars where one of the cars has its wheels taken off.

Huh... you're kinda wrong. Microsoft has never been stronger in server market and it's one of the platforms where their penetration is growing.

Not if the device runs out of memory or on older iOSes. You should always address this case.

It doesn't use this, but if you check the diagnostic dumps in iOS5 (it's buried somewhere in settings) you'll see it gathers pretty much simillar data (I've seen battery status, app installation, free space etc. in there). What remains to b

Because there's no point in burning your cloud storage, Apple bandwidth and prolong backup times when those articles can be easly re-downloaded from Instapapers servers on iPad. Same result, without long backup times, Apple server bandwidth

Just buy a Mac and leave Microsoft if you don't like it and please post something constructive / informational instead of rants. Really, it's OK to not like a product/platform/company. It's also OK to not buy and use those products.

Fragmenting Android even further would only kill their competitvness. None of the developers want to go back to times when you had to build your app for each manufacturer's phones separately. Forking Android would just push more quality app

Important questions about that: * How many users are 5% (there's a difference between 5 people and 5000 people)? * How critical is this feature to them (Meaning: Will they drop our product if we remove it? Or just be slightly annoyed?) * Ho

So he took a single case where pie chart has been used wrongly and from that extrapolated we shouldn't be using pie charts? Seriously... either explain your logic with supports or don't bother writing such misleading pieces of text.

Well, there are some of us who don't want to be guinea pigs for UI testing every 6 months so we're switching to something more stable. For me, Mint has been a good option - I retain the repositories without the silly GUI change and half-bro

Yes, killing the most lucrative market by making Windows "consumer brand only" would probably the silliest idea ever. Targeting enterprises and server market is what makes Windows DIFFERENT from Apple and thus giving Microsoft a market with

It is the default on battery powered systems. The system goes to hibernation if sleeping for several hours or if battery level is low.

So the author looked at HP site, saw that some hardware is not officialy supported by HP on Win7 and is on Linux... and he drew the conclusion that Linux HW support is better? That's a biased and wrong conclusion even for a person with no c

Probably because the userbase of 3rd party file explorers is so marginal it's not worth alienating less tech-savvy users. The common theme from OldNewThing blog is that they usually don't cater so much to power-user audience, since power-us

Hmm... this is a very basic overview. For e.g. it doesn't explain what Gallium3D actually is and also, how do proprietary (nvidia/fglrx) driver come into this picture. Does anyone here know more details?

I've observed (when doing Computer Vision algorithms) that MATLAB can be 10-times faster, in certain very tight loop calculations even more than 100-times faster than Octave. So I don't think those are really representative of MATLAB perfor

And also broken enough that it's STILL useless for any serious development. The APIs behave differently at times (e.g. location services), you can't simulate a lot of conditions you can on the Android emulator (memory, network speed, sensor

I never experienced any of the Vista issues either. That doesn't mean the issues didn't exist or that Vista was a good product.

Em, if the author would actually fact-check, he'd know that most of those buttons dont't exist yet, so they'd hardly have more than 0% usage.
