My 8GB nexus couldn't update the other day. I had to move off the 3GB of videos I had on it. I don't know how much is the shipped apps. But i'd hazard a guess it is really close to 50%.

The strange thing is, in his self citing comment about it been a turd, it becomes apparent he hasn't touched one. This is the issue MS have, not some cries of false advertising of free space. No one is buying them, no one is seeing them.

I don't think its just about the stress of being commander. People still have team work, commanders sometimes still buy things for marine. It just makes it a lot easier in publics, when you've got someone who is dieing all the time, from

Maybe someone who was offered a better deal? Apple aren't exactly renowned for giving people a say in development, save a few royal elite. If your an untouchable at Apple, but are offered a good role at Palm, why not take it? It's the old

Actually, being very un-scientific and subjective. I've not seen that. Most things I've seen spreading are already infected executables of pirate code. Or exploits. Now we can talk about the fact running as Admin is stupid, and UAC is jus

d) except for the one in Windows 8. They call it the "Store" because package manager is scary, and doesn't allow you to part with money quite so easily. Maybe someone should make a fork? sudo apt-get install 99centgame --CREDIT_CARD 4959 4

Zune Pass, no wait it's now called X-Box Music Pass. Oh heck I don't know what it's called. The music rental thing, is actually pretty damned good. However like spotify it is missing some artists.

The whole elephant in the room about the Nokia should use Android thing is HTC. HTC have, for a variety of reasons lost a lot of ground to Samsung. The question I always find myself asking, is would Nokia have faired better there? On WP the

It is funny, I without hesitation felt sorry for the devs. But then I recalled sighing at the attitudes of News Corp with The Daily. It's the same principle, taking a business model that might have worked in the past and forcing that squar
