AndroVM is now a commercial product; I'd rather Google just improve the experience of the official SDK tools.

One unfortunate side effect of adding APIs to Google Play Services, is that it becomes almost impossible to test your app on Google's own SDK emulators. Play Services does not run in any emulator. You can try to find the Vending and related

I've been using Chrome for a few years and just moved back to FireFox because Chrome's insane memory usage (on desktop). There are some rough spots in the UX still: (1) I miss my omnibar from Chrome (2) seems like scrolling can be jankier B

For those who would like to read more about the design philosophy of Metro, I would recommend "Brave NUI World" (Wixon). Another book "The Mobile Frontier"(Hinman) briefly summarizes NUIs in Chapter 2, and concludes with an excellent interv

I have been finding more and more interesting eBooks for purchase online. But I don't buy them for a few reasons. First, without ratings by people with good reputation I have no idea whether the book is good or bad. In this case, Grady Booc

I guess I'm not the only one who feels that way. What I value most in my browser: security, usability, speed, and standards compliance. Since FF is not perfect (but always improving) in all of these areas, I'd rather see progress there than

From Github: "What you should know: MapDB relies on mapped memory heavily. NIO implementation in JDK6 seems to be failing randomly under heavy load. MapDB works best with JDK7" The original JDBM2 apparently worked fine under Android; I wond

I was recently interested in purchasing eBooks from Morgan Kaufmann. "The UX Book: Process and Guidelines for Ensuring a Quality User Experience" costs $89.95 USD; surely for that insane price your eBook would be DRM-free, right? Wrong. Bot

This happens to me all the time. Every version of the emulator from the time I started with android in 2009 to present. I NEVER leave it running on my machine when I retire for the night. Once or twice I woke up in the morning to see it som

Coming from my experience with my Android phone, I would not want Android controlling any mission critical function. If its for non critical functions, thats different. There was a survey about this sort of thing done very recently. http:/

Yes, I wish there were more tools to help renters. The whole process is plagued by information assymetry with regards to transparency, and the renter is at a huge disadvantage. BadNYCApartments is trying to do something about this, but as f

Google could be subsidizing the device in exchange for Play Store revenue, since Google gets 30% cut from app sales.

If this tablet is a commercial failure with such great specs at such a reasonable price, this does not bode well for Android as a Tablet OS. I have been developing for Android full time 2 years. I am waiting for some indication that Android

I thought this would add another interesting wrinkle to the conversation. It is from a few years ago, but I found it counterintuitive and interesting (as a lay reader). "The safety of routine X-rays has been called into question following t

Like the author, I have been writing Android software for a while (nov 2009). However, I completely disagree with his conclusion. When I think "fragmentation", device sizes and configurations are the least of my worries, although the toolin

Lithium fires give off a number of toxic gasses like HF. Even if the fire was safely contained, my concern would be if the people on board were exposed to these toxins through inhalation. If a plane is recirculating cabin air, is there a an

A quick and informal tool I have used over the years to create simple block diagrams is yEd. Since it is Java it runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux. Its free, but not open source.

As an android developer, this has me very concerned. I am worried that the subset of Java that Android comes with diverges more and more over time from the official implementation, and Android's subset becomes the new IE6. Over time, i expe

From the features section, it says "Enables development of iOS apps for private use in homes, schools and offices" Is it possible to also use this for non-private apps - that is - apps submitted to the App Store?
