I would totally buy this theory. I think that tradeoff with the zero-shutter-lag feature is that the phone does a cursory attempt at focus/metering/white-balance (if it does one at all) and totally misses it most of the time. You can try to

I've had a Nexus for two months now (since launch day on Verizon) and I have only two real gripes about it. Otherwise, performance has been good, the screen is gorgeous, and I've been happy with ICS. The camera quality is really bad. When

Someone please tell this to Spotify. It's a little infuriating that for the last three months or so you may not be a member of their service unless you have an active Facebook account.

I didn't even need to expend any mental effort to ignore the large advertisement-shaped blocks there. AdBlock Plus did it for me, and delivered me a blank page.

4 or 5 years ago I made a registration workflow for a event I was working with as part of a freelance gig. We had a giant bolded text link, something like 24 points, that said "Click Here to Register," right on the front page above the fol

Prized developers aren't going to participate in many coding-contest-as-hiring-lottery situations unless they're just really interested in the problem. For a competent developer, a "cover letter brainteaser" that takes an hour to do is es

I may be mistaken but I thought Safari's "activity" view showed downloads made by Flash applets. So you just get the URLs for every image served up right on a silver platter. I'd assume it works the same in Chrome. You can just as easily d

I just bought an Uno Makershed kit last weekend. I am still somewhere just past hello world in my understanding of the interface, to be sure, because my hardware experience is limited to having used LEGO-LOGO back in the 80s as a kid. But

They do have to do something , because for I/O 2011 people were buying $450 tickets and immediately listing them on eBay for $1500+. Meanwhile, other actual developers just plain couldn't get in. But, I do hope that whatever coding proble

Another vote to say this works - I maxed out my Dropbox referrals for about 20 bucks a few weeks ago. This is a good way to burn those $100 AdWords credits that Google likes to hand out like candy.

This "inappropriate use" thing seems to read a little sketchy. Especially because further down in the TOS in 18(b)(iv) they state it's a violation to "modify any software included in any Mobile Device(s)." I know they probably won't fine

I already use a small local bank. They have only a handful of branches and it's pretty easy to get stuff done with them. I don't want to change that relationship because I am happy with it, and I certainly don't want to abstract the whole
