Seems like apple is still playing catch up. All the rumored features are already on android. But of course I am sure apple's implementations will be considered gamechangers and revolutionary according to the fanboys. What's next? A customi

Actually it's odd. They say that in the Java tuning, they made some simple optimization that got it on par to the original C++ one but then they refused to do anything further; noting instead the same C++ optimization would have applied in

Why is this even a surprise? Why is everyone saying it's an open vs close issue? The TOS clearly states that apps that utilize high bandwidth is a violation. Google hasn't enforced this strongly but it is against their TOS. It's the same

Apple is lame. They claim Nokia is suing them with dumb patents and then proceed to sue others with their dumb patents...

His column is barely readable nowadays. He picks all the stories and "small" snippets that try to position android and google as a failure. No explanation. No argument. Nothing at all. And since there are no comments, he totally paints a

Honeycomb was rushed so most likely there are probably a lot of ugly code in there. In the next release (Ice cream), it will support tablets and phones in one codeline. Most likely v3.5 or 4.0 so I don't think it's backport, it's really m

Well I hope you called out apple when they sued HTC on patents like, sliding an image to unlock a phone...

Android Market needs a filter for x-large screen size. That's how I am detecting a tablet form and displaying a different layout. Unfortunately even for apps that have done this, they are not placed in the featured tablet app list and thus

not gruber again.. He claimed Apple's 30% cut on subscription was good - only because Apple always does the right thing and then had nothing else to back up the claim. Somehow his comments are always here?

by arron61 16y ago
It's similar to making things up when you are linking to small sections of an article and trying to paint a narrow view of an argument. His commentaries are also incredibly horrible.

Even if the device manufacturers do not alter the OS, it's still impossible for Google to send one mass update that will apply to all the phones. Phone OSes are too embedded for this to work. Carriers and manufacturers will still need to

How are they adding to Windows? They make applications. They don't necessarily alter the OS. Plus PCs have a 7 layer stack where there are abstraction layers over the devices and drivers, making this doable. Whereas phones are embedded s

Microsoft had to do this since they are that far behind in the game. They probably blew billions to do this and not to mention, this is not a sustainable strategy. Google, on the other hand, should probably improve their NDK, which a nu

This is all getting fixed probably really soon. Android developers have been getting constant emails about upcoming Market changes.

Windows paid for all these companies to create the games. They funded the development - that's the only reason why.

It amazes me that writers do not understand this simple point. They saw the word "fragment" and jumped to conclusions right away without fully understanding the original article. Android is missing a DRM feature - which Netflix never fully

You should have sought for a professional tax preparer's advice. Any professional would have seen your mistake immediately. You have your regular w2 form's amount from work. Any additional money you tacked on as additional income, the tax

"Access Wave from Google Docs" This means they are trying to integrate wave into google docs. It baffles me that they didn't run with this headline instead: "Wave is being integrated into Google Docs." This would have been much better pub

Can't agree more. Gizmodo's review is as biased as it can get.

It's because most are bias and do not give other products a chance. They are also instantly brainwashed by what Steve Jobs says. Once he mentioned about the screen size differences, everyone harps on the 7" instantly, touting his/her agre

The logics are all there. For each app, you are supposed to put the <uses> line to indicate which resources the app requires. The market will automatically filter out any applications if that resource is not available on the devic
