I think you misunderstood jordn's comment. When he said "staying in a job they dislike for another year just to get an extra $1k when they do quit." I think he was talking about a hypothetical situation were an employee has b

If I'm reading this right, these aren't pirated games, but games that are free anyway. Can anyone confirm that?

That wouldn't make much sense, seeing as these combinations aren't physically accurate. You don't make an electron neutrino by combining two electrons, for example.

A quick look at that site reveals that is NOTHING compared to Unity. Unity is a rather powerful gaming engine (that powers a surprising number of very popular games), compared to what can be achieved with BASIC.

Live, running version: http://htmlplayspokemon.qoid.us/ Although it doesn't seem to be working properly for me. From the looks of the JS console, it seems to keep resetting.

Back then, that's all it had. At the start, you could update your current status and see all your contacts' statuses. When iOS added push notifications, it got updated so you could get notifications of friends' status updates

If that were the case, I can't help thinking he could have released the app without the ads, or at least pushed out an update removing the ads at this point, instead of removing it. I don't think this is about money.

A bunch of these "reasons" are ridiculous. Using ghosts as an argument for our universe being a simulation [reason 8]? The notion that if it were possible, someone would do it, leading to the assumption that someone HAS and we are

"they need other things" - like the extremely strong app eco-system of Android (in comparison to Windows Phone, specifically). WP is a strong OS with some great design choices etc (IMO, obviously); it's main downfall from my

Why on earth did they not cut out the first 13 minutes of this video?

The article also mentions blocking the sale of the Galaxy Nexus and the early Galaxy Note models; the GN has certainly not been available for purchase (new) for quite a while now, and I'm sure early Notes probably aren't too abund

Seeing as they appear to have gone after Samsung, and not Google, whose keyboard also has this functionality (and in fact, an image of the Google keyboard appears to have been used in the ruling, referred to as an image of Samsung's),

Within the article, it shows this image [1] stating that this image "of Samsung's user interface" was included in the ruling. This image does NOT show Samsung's (TouchWiz) UI, but rather stock Android, including the AOSP

I find this (from their site) extremely confusing: http://s12.postimg.org/bth48avyl/Untitled.png What on earth are those bars meant to represent? They're certainly not even close to being the percentages displayed

As someone who considers themself (and many of their friends) a nerd, I have to say I thoroughly enjoy the show. I study physics, I love Sci fi, I read comic books etc. I don't feel genuinely insulted by the show. Yes jokes are made at

Just because you don't enjoy something, doesn't mean you should belittle those that do. I like to think I have plenty of sense, and I quite like the show. Just because you didn't enjoy that particular episode, doesn't me

Interesting write up. Seems rather simple, really. Presumably Instagram could change their private key and rollout a new client version on each platform, breaking all third party apps using the current key though. Although I guess it'd

Not as good as syncing to some online service e.g. Google. I recently bought a new Android phone, before that I used a Windows Phone 8 phone and before that another Android. On both the WP8 and second Android, I simply logged into my Google

So in other words, you got the exact same response as if you had sent a regular SMS message; I fail to see how that is a problem. Yes, WhatsApp uses your regular phone contacts; much simpler than having to exchange usernames with everyone y

It is leaked internal code never meant for public use. Technically more of a grey area than "stolen", but still a bit sketchy in a legal sense, although I personally would have more of an issue with the fact it's not really f

Yes, I should probably have been more clear on that; it's a "may void your warranty" in that if you've done it, they can refuse to honour the warranty, if they deem it appropriate, and there's technically nothing

HTC and Sony both allow their devices bootloaders to be unlocked via simple procedures involving fastboot, a generic (& simple to use) Android tool supplied with the Android SDK (and AFAIK, open source). Both manufacture high quality, h

Yes, and the Raspberry Pi is not designed for them. There is no reason it should cater to everyone , it's designed for those who aren't experienced with programming, hacking and reverse engineering so they can start on their le

seems like buying a Raspberry Pi just became an extremely cheap way to get Mathematica, then.

But it means they're not comparing iOS (and WP and BB10) to Android , they're comparing them to TouchWiz (or whatever Samsung are calling their skin these days). In that case, they should also include HTC Sense and Motorola Blu

No, it's about the "Public Contributions" section where there are a bunch of green squares showing contributions over time. In this case, they spell out the word "hello", and there's part of a mushroom from Mar
