Wheee! Third-party apps can now play video to Airplay devices! (off by default, which sucks and means updates will be needed to enable it). Other than that - some minor iAd functionality, access to some additional metadata for media files,

His comment is written in a quite snide and belittling way. It's hard to avoid feeling that he either has a low opinion of Marissa Mayer personally, or female engineers in general. Also, I would argue that while Google was indeed a better

The real kick in the teeth is that paying AT&T to enable tethering doesn't actually get you any extra data, it just allows you to use the data you're already paying for in a different way. At least with Verizon's current tethering charg

Afraid not. Unlocked just means you can use whatever GSM carrier you wish. Carrier-dependent features (MMS, tethering) are controlled by IPCC files (known as 'Carrier Updates') which are downloaded depending on the carrier you are using. In

By and large, this is still an accurate description of the networking architecture in Unreal Engine today which has been used in such recent games as Gears of War (2005), Gears of War 2 (2007), Borderlands (2009), Medal of Honor (2010), and

Since it claims the phone will be running 4.0.2, I'd say these are a little more speculation than fact.

It would be a PR disaster for Apple to unveil a new iPad so soon after aggressively marking this original over the holiday season. When they dropped the original iPhone price, two months after launch, there was a huge backlash, and that was

His near-absolute disinterest in visual design, his chronically caustic personality and his apparently principle-driven burning of bridges haven't helped either. Ouch.

The "right way" depends on the task at hand and the tools you have at your disposal. For any type of low-level work, being able to view, understand, and observe regions of memory is pretty much essential.

I wonder about the technical knowledge of this person who's writing articles about hiring technical people. "Explain the significance of ‘dead beef'" is a perfectly valid, if somewhat unimaginative, technical question.

If you can comment, I would be interested on the standard of coding that successful candidates exhibit once employed. Personally, if I could only ask a candidate one question, it would be something that involved writing code. Too many times

There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally

What a crock. Among other things, the article completely omits what is the biggest hurdle for Google, or any new company, for entering the phone market - infrastructure. A newcomer has no hope of competing in major metropolitan markets such

I don't think there really was an API war. What happened to what Joel considers "Microsoft's crown strategic jewel", the Windows API, was also largely irrelevant. Microsoft's real problem was they spent far too long pouring resources into p

It's also worth noting that there is no (public) API support for AirPlay video. At this point I suspect that video over AirPlay isn't mature enough yet for general purpose use so they focused on the two places where it's most useful and req
