My bad, I was trying to link to the Lumia 920 advert where they apologized for lying after the fact. Here is a better link: http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-09-06/hardw... The advert was apparently done

Yeah, there is smoothing of a sort. Most of these kind of drawing boards will take the current mouse position as it moves (x,y), and drop down a pixel or circle onto the canvas at that point. The smoothness you see here is that instead of j

This is basically a similar approach Android took for phones. It leverages off Linux while replacing user facing pieces to give the user a simplified and consistent environment that they expect. However as with Android, that isn't enou

Interesting notes: The battery is even harder to remove now and is glued in with excessive amounts of adhesive. There is no "M7 co-processor" [1] chip in the device - possibly it's just marketing for some part of the A7? The

Pintrest is mostly made up of (1) images/photos and (2) real world merchandise of some kind. They could create a platform for selling printed copies of images/photos on pintrest and they could take a cut of the revenues, and maybe

I get that - but the usual implementation would be to have a set of databases with indexes (maybe mysql or mongodb) where you could store all the data and run ad-hoc queries against. You'd then put memcache in front of that for fast ac

That dynamic resharding looks very nice. The big issue I see for using this as a real datastore is the apparent lack of queries and indexes on the data. Keeps it a lot simpler I guess, but so many workloads require the use of queries. I gue

The curves seem to look a bit deceiving, probably something in how our eyes work - switch to the 'count' tab instead of the 'percent' tab. It's much easier to see then just how much 'flatter' the founder c

If we make a better dishwasher that does not require pre-rinse, what happens to your argument? Is your argument that there will now be some other task, maybe loading the dishes? Consider: washing the dishes across a town employs 1000 people

I think you're missing the point he's making. 200 years ago, it doesn't matter how rich you were - you could not travel across country in a couple hours. So the 'poor' of today are able to travel better and faster t

Far as I can tell, the argument here boils down to "can't concentrate on coding while traveling". When put in a simple statement like that it becomes very obvious that the statement depends entirely on the person. Many people

The performance claims are marketing speak: they say the new 64 bit CPU is now twice as fast as the old 32 bit CPU. But this isn't too strange, the previous 32 bit CPU was also about twice as fast as the predecessor to that one. So wha

Good points. The problem with creating this is that it would need system level access for each OS, I think. Adding these kind of intents into Windows or OSX would be easy enough, and adding them into browsers should be possible too (Firefox

1. When you initiate any action that would use an intent in Android, you get that selection popup window that let's you choose any app that can handle that intent. So I think there is already app discovery? Unless you mean something li

I think Google's disapproval of the JVM is shaped by Oracle's lawsuits and is purely political, as they were extremely in favour of the JVM before those occurred.

I believe that's what the parent is talking about. There isn't any reason for Go not to have similar syntactic sugar for something as common as looping through an iterator. To be honest, every release of Go feels more and more lik

Looks like someone missed the point of making a whole API on top of the database - to make accessing the database easier, not infinitely harder with more gotchas than Apple's TOS. This reads less like a defense of Core Data and more li
