Hmmm. More news that makes Scala and Clojure look more attractive than Java for new development.

From the matches I've seen so far, the latest ball seems very light. For long range passes the player has to be behind the ball to trap it with foot or control it with chest before it drops on the ground. Players who try to control the bal

I've been using rtorrent on my Linux box and have been reasonably happy with it.

$99 is cheap for pre-release access considering it used to be $500.

No, applications using private frameworks are allowed on a case-by-case basis, e.g. http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2009/12/steve-jobs-interve... and http://www.macworld.com/article/144963/2009/12/ustream_iphon...

I just went to youtube in the default browser on my Maemo phone. The flash plugin is installed, but Mozilla are ignoring it in the Firefox for Maemo because of all the crashes.

I found this linked from an old Hacker News article: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/fplayer10.1... In Flash Player 10.1, H.264 hardware acceleration is not supported under either Linux or Mac OS X. Linux currently lacks

Jeans. Don't get designer jeans. Don't get them torn. Don't get them baggy. Regular or slim fit only. Get them in colors ranging from dark blue to blue/gray. Do not get light blue. If the jeans that suit you are designer jeans or more exp

It seems like a premature announcement. No real roadmap as yet. Nokia reps are saying that Maemo 6 is MeeGo compatible, but I've no idea if I can upgrade my Nokia N900 to Maemo 6 either.

That the rebuttal for pointing out flaws in the iPad is simply to say that one is not the target market for the device is ridiculous.

I couldn't find the chillingeffects mention through google.com.au, nor the article through google.com. Looks like it was buried by the news stories.

A Nokia rep announced unofficially that Maemo is the future operating system for the Nokia N series phones. Symbian will be kept for the Nokia E series.

I didn't upgrade my iPhone from 3.0.x to 3.1.x for months because I wanted to keep tethering through the unofficial carrier hole as my carrier then didn't support tethering. I ended up paying for the SIM unlock and porting my number away f

I installed 9.10 on my MacBook Pro yesterday. My main issue was that I couldn't get the non-free wireless drivers started without uninstalling and installing a package followed by restarting.

> Did you ever stop to consider why Apple "fanbois" are? Some of them appear to need to follow the underdog, conform but not conform, or are spoken to through the marketing. > In any case, Gruber is talking about industry conformity

The irony of an Apple fanboi discussing conformity like this is deafening. Buying Apple is buying conformity. I suppose with all the downvotes I'll expand. The conformity is what makes Apple stuff work. A small range of hardware for the c

I just watched the screencast. I'm sure that the static methods on the controllers and the public attributes will drive purists up the wall, but the speed of development appears excellent. Looks most definitely faster than running glassfi

Fashion is fickle. I'm looking at getting a HTC Hero because a) everyone has an iPhone and b) managing my music in iTunes has been annoying since I did a clean install of Mac OS X.

Billy Corgan has said the same thing about upcoming Smashing Pumpkins releases. Only singles and EPs after Zeitgeist (hence American Gothic and G.L.O.W).

I use both Safari and Firefox for my web development. Safari's web inspector has a nicer user interface for javascript debugging, but Firebug has better support for editing CSS on the fly.

I've had issues on Telstra. Sometimes the phone UI will prevent you from answering the call. Sometimes the phone crashes mid-call. Sometimes you answer the phone and you can hear the other party but they can't here you.

I use it for the Javascript debugging tools. I've found that the user-interface is nicer than Firebug.

Gruber's record was poor until he got an inside source, at which point he really started smacking down predictions from others.

You can set the Dock to hide, in which case you can use the full display.

Going to the gym after work Monday through Thursday improves my state of mind for the next working day. I've found that it has a huge bearing on my eating habits on those days, and my sleeping habits in general. I eat better and sleep les
