"Also, does all software require a free trial or something? I never got that memo." Obviously no, but it's hard to convince people to move from software that works (such as Adium) to your software if you can't at least p

I thought I was clear, but re-reading it I agree I wasn't. What I meant was that I found little use for a tablet until I got the Surface. It still doesn't play a major role in my day to day activities but I'm using it daily a

"We know Microsoft’s tablets suck" This irritates the hell out of me. Who is this "we"? Fine if Marco wants to suggest that they suck, but I'll take a shot in the dark and say he hasn't even tried to give one a

I've been a developer and building websites for a long time. Yes, "easy" is probably overstating, but the parts that are problems I'd think could be corrected or fixed without a major undertaking. Fixing the broken links

I've had it take longer with Apple too but that's usually been on popular releases when they've gotten back-ordered. My wife's laptop was customized with 8gb of ram and 512gb ssd and its ship date was 1-2 days and it did

Some of Dell's hardware seems to be getting better again. I just purchased the Dell XPS 12" and I'm mostly satisfied with the computer (although it's a bit expensive). However, there are two things that still drive me cr

Everything we all do in life builds heavily on what others have done before us. The article explicitly states the components he used. The interesting part of the article is that he's attempting to take these extremely new and young com

Have you used one? I ask because I thought the similar thing but recently purchased the Dell XPS 12" and one of my coworkers bought the Yoga. While I agree, I don't often times flip my screen around unless I'm reading a long

Don't forget that math and physics have to be completely disregarded to be a creationist as well.

So who decides what the "real education" is? I believe, as a parent, that "real education" for my kids is determined by me. If there are parents that want to teach their kids mythology painted as facts then so be it. In

Are you saying these people just don't understand and haven't taken the time to learn the details about evolution? Or, do these people understand the science behind evolution and still actively deny that it took place? If the latt

This is anecdotal (but frankly so is yours)... We have mainly been doing iOS apps but we are hearing demand from customers about having an option in Android so one of our developers (who is definitely much more of an Apple fan) has been exp

I would guess they came up with the idea of kitkat and contacted Nestle for permission to use the name and likely Nestle saw a good opportunity to use it as marketing. Obviously just speculation on my part, but seems more likely (to me) tha

Why is it important that it's "in the box". You can have a html page started with a link to foundation and be doing a progressive grid layout in less than a minute. If you don't like their grid implementation use one of

Your examples don't strike me as limitations of the tools for designing a UI in the web...the limitations you mention are just due to the nature of it being on the web. Frankly, a list of tens of thousands of messages sounds completely

I wouldn't characterize web layout as "awesome." I would. I've been doing web development for a long time, along with many other types of development, and although there are quirks (as there are with anything), you can

Honest, maybe naive question, but what types of programmers actively help build and maintain systems like this? I turned down a job for a company that is less than a mile from my house because I viewed their business as immoral. Hard for me

I've never really experienced any type of heckling, however, where I live (Missouri) most people just assume you are a Christian of some form. I do feel like if my employer knew I was an atheist I'd see some discrimination at work

I honestly don't see that at all on my nexus 4. Maybe it's just the limited apps that I use. I do see more performance related issues on my Nexus 7 though.

Android still hasn't matched iOS in the responsiveness front Guessing you don't use Android or at least haven't in awhile? I've been Android user now since the release of 4.0 and it seems much more responsive now than

They also say, "as self-driving cars improve, they will reconsider." Seems fair. It would seem fair if they pointed to any actual data regarding the safety of such vehicles versus the safety of cars driven by humans but I see no such info

I'd say the biggest difference is simply usability. My coworker uses KeePass and I use 1Password and most things take him 1 or more steps to do than it takes me. For instance, the browser plugins with 1Password are pretty seamless, no copyi

I think what they say is shady, but as the parent of this thread states, it is technically accurate to say that their screen is larger by industry standard measurements (i.e. corner to corner).

They are not (although they definitely should be). Google will read and index javascript, they do not execute it.
