Yep, this right here. I'm working on a project involving SVG right now, and support is legitimately terrible in about 50 different ways.

It isn't -- it's a tool for designing ads. Calling it "Google Web Designer" was a terrible decision, but that's clearly not what the tool was meant for.

It's meant as an ad development tool, not a page development tool. Entirely different audience.

It's clearly meant for the advertising space, so compression is actually what is being desired here.

There are too many holes in the story. Highly recommend the followup, where it's confirmed that many parts are flatly made up or just vaguely inaccurate: http://www.npr.org/blogs/krulwich/2011/05/03&

>Movies spread out their sales over an extremely long time compared to games. Keep in mind: With the advent of online services like GoG, Steam, PS Plus, and XBLA, this is very quickly changing.

Windows 8 is a paid update. Comparing the two is ludicrous.

The two don't quite compare on an even plane anymore -- Android has Google Play Services, and has unbundled its apps from the core OS, and that makes a huge difference. http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013/09&#

This is the first I've heard of F2FS. Are there any good introduction-type writeups for it anywhere? How far is it from production?

It's not just you. That's actually the whole point of the article. Did you even RTFA?: "Our findings from Yahoo’s “30 days of change” campaign suggest it should stick to something familiar. So, for Yahoo’s sake, we hope the

FWIW, the SLS gets around this by having explosive bolts in the hinges that blow when the car is past something like 90˚ in orientation and has a velocity of 0 for more than N seconds. However, the SLS is a $300k car, so no expense is spare

I wonder if twin-engined aircraft are less better maintained for the reasons you mentioned. Since you only have one engine to 'push off' with on a single, you better make damn sure it's in good working order.

I don't objectively agree with the latter point, but rdl is correct about the former. It takes high altitudes for tubofans to come into their element in the efficiency gradient, and short routes don't really stay in that area of a

Not at all. Jet Cooper is ~30 (incredibly talented) people. It's a talent acquisition. They're basically buying a larger Toronto presence via acquisition. Smart move, especially going for JC.

Article is down, but if this is what I think it is... iPhones start increasing the time between allowed guesses geometrically after a few wrong ones, so this wouldn't actually work.

Go for the new. The new N7 may be getting the new software update, but it's not like it has the hardware to match. Better chips, a back-camera, a notification light. Likely faster/fixed NAND issues as well. There are a lot of new

I don't believe that's correct -- from what I can tell, when it's streaming webpages, it is actually only synchronizing two copies of Chrome -- one on the stick, one on your PC. It is not encoding/transmitting a video, a
