It might not play from SkyDrive(that's a failing with SkyDrive), but it will play from a shared folder I have on my fileserver here at home. So if I can store and access my files legally from one network attached drive, why not from anothe

You're of course making the assumption that his income would keep pace with inflation, which sadly has not been true for a large percentage of the American population lately.

I don't think you should be downvoting well-intentioned but wrong comments anyway. I think a much better action is to reply with a comment that corrects the individual in a well intentioned way. Besides, for a lot of things, what constitut

And then there's the converse, like me. I've got a good eye for infographic design, but I can't paint pixels worth a damn.

I'm still waiting for the supposed competitors that are supposed to take the remaining 53% of that market to appear. We're talking about a market where the number 2 device is last year's model of iPad.

They really screwed up the naming of that book. It's not meant to be unfriendly. It's just meant to say that Steve Jobs is an Icon, and also ties into icons used in graphical computing. But since iMacs and iPods were all the rage, they d

True, but I imagine that Japanese infrastructure may have been compromised by the earlier earthquake, making this one more dangerous than it would be otherwise. Much like the Flu is usually no big deal, but can easily kill people with any s

I'm already developing natively for iPhone and Windows Phone 7. I hate Java with a passion, so this is probably the only way I'd ever get around to working on Android apps.

First off, your original complaint was on the inclusion of the word "algorithm", and not the fact that they referenced supercomputers solving the problem. As such, I didn't address it since you didn't address it. >Formally, TSP is a de

I would expect a trademark complaint from Tiffen the second this gets published in the app store. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steadicam Other than that, great work!

They're not skirting the laws at all. The hiring of privates cars, limos, or buses is usually not restricted or regulated by cities. The innovation here, and the reason the cab companies are up in arms about it, is that it's now on-demand

Apple's rules are restricted to subscriptions and in-app purchases of virtual goods. They currently have no stance on purchases of real goods. See the Amazon App, Pizza Hut app, etc. for examples.

I'm actually going to support Wired's wording on this one. While it's possible to come up with a perfect solution to any specific instance of the traveling salesman problem, it's the actual process of solving that instance, the algorithm, t

It's not just about monitor placement though. Keyboard height, at least for me, is more important for a comfortable computing environment that monitor height. Just checking now, I've got about 18-inches difference between my seated keyboar

Doh! I started checking them off as I went down the list and didn't realize there was a compound answer until the end. The same thing used to kill me on multiple choice questions in high school.

I can't upvote this enough. A proper mat made all the difference for me. I'd say it easily quadrupled the amount of time I could deal with working while standing and eliminated most of my initial foot pain.

I don't know anyone who only has a 7-inch height difference between when they're sitting and standing.

The apps are built for a specific resolution. As long as the screen resolution is 320x480 or 640x960, the actual physical dimensions of the screen are irrelevant.

It's more complex than just calories in - calories out. Just to complete your simple equation, what you're saying is: calories in - calories out = fat stored/burned. So for calories in == calories out, stable weight. For calories in >

Hopefully they'll gracefully degrade like Dropbox does. They leave all your existing data there for you to access, but you can't add/change any files until you either renew or reduce your usage back down the free tier.

It's the combination "App Store" that they object to. So yes, Amazon App Market would be fine, as is the "Windows Phone App Marketplace".
