They're not natural born killers, that's for sure. If they killed someone, they'd hide the weapon in a church and just throw the body behind a bush. I've always wondered why most criminals are so stupid sometimes...

It was mentioned in the affidavit. Warner was the one who went around hiding the evidence. When confronted, he divulged the secret locations. Both Hogan & Warner seem like ultra sketchy people. It's funny that Hogan made the remark

So now we know why a search warrant was issued... I wonder what was in the flash drives? Pictures of the iPhone? Seems like it would be easier to just format the drive instead of physically disposing it somewhere...

probably because Apple realizes that the computer is still too hard for the average joe to use. Macs might be easy, but my mom still has trouble getting the thing to find the printer -- and she's a chemistry professor at a top 20 universit

cheap way to solve that problem is just to wear one of those gloves with holes cut out for the fingers... I use my bicycling gloves and they work great. I don't think we need to use fancy technology to solve this simple problem :-)

It's funny that you mention this because desktop syncing is where Android really got it wrong. Try buying a droid/htc/etc and try using the manufacturer's software for upgrading the firmware -- basically impossible for the average user. J

I think BGI is using an even older version. Those guys handle a few billion trades a day using Sybase, and I don't see them upgrading any time soon. They tried switching to Oracle a few years back but the project got canned. When I was th

Probably the same if Microsoft were ordered to stop shipping Office/Windows. And since it never happened, we'll never know!

Smalltalk has equally long method names in many places... see some of the morphic libraries... ObjC is basically naming type parameters. I don't think their (ObjC) collection support is too bad either. Also, the manual memory management o

Higher chance of having better apps. Games don't really survive in a low-profit environment -- graphics/sounds/assets costs money usually. There aren't a lot of great open source games.

It's a bit different though -- if you look at stats on Flurry for some of the popular apps, you'll see that there is less than 3% iPhone OS 2.0 users out there. That's simply because iPhone users get a free OS upgrade when they hook up to

I think you would care about making money more than the size of the platform. There was a time when MySpace had 2x more users than Facebook, but app developers on MySpace didn't have the same level of virility that Facebook apps had and th

Well now there's a few thousand tweets about blowing up the airport -- are they going to arrest everyone?

There's quite a few available on Froogle: http://www.google.com/products?hl=en&q=capacitive+stylus They would probably also work with other touch devices: droid, nexus one, laptop trackpads, etc.

It's always easy to drop the price on the app store, but very hard to increase the price. So it's rare to see an app go up in price.

makes sense. I had to troubleshoot printing problems with my Dad over the phone... apparently the printer got a new IP address and windows couldn't find it. Trying to tell my dad how to fetch the printer ip from the access point and then

I see that trend at home too. My dad has a top of the line Dell computer, i7 quad core with 8gigs of memory, 25" 1920x1200 lcd, Nvidia GT200 core, the works. He uses it to browse the web, email (yahoo mail), and uses skype occasionally to

Maybe he should rename it to "Eyjafjallajokull"... all the Icelandic people have no problems with it.

I'm guessing flash will still crash in the production version, the only difference is that Google will have an android browser similar to Chrome in that flash crashing will not cause the whole browser to crash. I really doubt Adobe can fix

I'm guessing because their HTML5 one doesn't support annotations yet. Even in the chrome browser, the default is still the flash player.

The flash video on youtube crashes for me at least once a day on my Mac... so nothing new here. Is the flash player for the mac also alpha quality too?

Kids don't have $80/month, but their parents do -- and anyone who has visited your average high school will see that it's all about haves & have-nots. You think those kids in high school driving around in a mustang actually paid for th

Can you provide other examples where a gadget site pays money to a 3rd party who happens to have an unreleased development model of a future product? I can't think of any...

Vista ran "flawlessly" in demo videos too... but we all know how that turned out when it was released.

Also, I think there's going to be a ton of flash apps that won't have updated their apps to properly use flash's touch apis. I'm sure there's going to be a whole bunch of apps on yahoo games that just won't work and the owners of the table

I just can't understand why software decoding of video would be that slow if you're implementing the stuff using standard api calls. VLC & MPlayer run great on the mac and I doubt they're using undocumented api calls to play video -- I

I'm not sure if that's their market... They're rolling out XBox and Zune integration. It feels like they're trying to appeal to gamers.

I'm guessing platform specific... because the chromium builds don't work either and the nightly builds are built off of the chrome trunk. But since it doesn't work on any of the mobile browsers, I'm guessing the code might have other issue

Doesn't work in Chrome either. The interesting thing is that they claim that it works everywhere: "The form works on all major browsers even in IE6" Note to developers: If you're going to make a claim that it works everywhere, something

Doesn't work for me (Chrome nightly build on the Mac). Didn't work in the Chrome mac production build either. For anything web related, no matter how slick it is, if it doesn't work on a few browsers, it won't get adoption unless you run a
