We are never going to know the tablet's honest-to-goodness price point since it will never be sold without a data plan, so qualifiers such as "cheapest" don't apply. Does anyone know how much a similar, not-rebadged tablet costs in a Lenovo

I'd be interested to find out what motivated you to target this platform. Do you have an internal requirement to target every single one of the mobile platforms out there? Does this platform offer something the others don't? Has the vendor

I have my own ideas about what you call "big concepts that emerge from experience in actual production", but I'd be fascinated to find out about yours.

Fascinating. This is another way for them to send a clear message to the hundreds of millions of xp users out there who looked at 7 and rejected it: "We don't care about you, use the latest Chrome if you must". And then they keep wondering

You are referring to a rather linkbait-y PR piece from Kaspersky. I'd rather not link to it since the intent behind it was pretty obviously co-branded promotion of KAS and msft rather than independent journalism conducive of critical thinki

The open-source, cross-platform equivalent of `say` is a piece of software called "SVOX Pico". There is also a Python-based wrapper for it called picospeaker. Relevant AUR link for ArchLinux users: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/picosp

TL;DR This guy claims he was previously a free software enthusiast, but then he grew up and now he's a microsoft enthusiast. Yay for stereotyping free software enthusiasts as basement-dwelling pre-pubescents. Other than that, the article is

I love the idea and I'd love to contribute, but English is not my first language and my pronounciation is terrible. I would consider creating no-sound video lectures with annotations on the side, if someone else with a clean pronounciation

I've been thinking about a similar hack for awhile, but my idea was to measure/compare code cleanliness (in the agile sense of the word) and expressiveness between two chunks of code written by two different developers, in the same programm

I may use these generated pictures as backgrounds for slide presentations, so it would be nice to hear if the author is fine with that. What license is the resulting picture subject to?

They are demoing the phone operating system on an HTC device. Yay for Nokia locking themselves into this OS and not even getting that small token of appreciation.
