OS X expects two mouse buttons too, I'm not sure what your point is.

There's a Tesla museum in Colorado Springs, CO.

Yeah, I clearly remember being taught about him in science class, certainly more than they taught us about Edison.

I totally agree about the Lucida Grande thing. It's weird seeing fonts like Lucida Grande and Verdana on such a nice display.

You can't be serious. Have you ever used Visual Basic? If you have, you'd know that it's toolbox, properties editor, etc. is nothing like Xcode's...

Who specifically are you referring to? I haven't seen anyone endorse ReactOS yet at the same time vilify Samsung.

If you look at one of the first sentences: I present you the development environment for Samsung's smart TVs. I don't know why you're looking for Java/Android clues.

For comparison... Samsung's IDE: http://www.imaso.co.kr/data/article/15%283%29.png Xcode: http://cl.ly/Ijas Of course, as Samsung apologists will tell you, this was a pure accident on Samsung's part. Everyone knows there's only one way

God... what? First off, which Pascal textbook would be both old enough to include a floppy disk, yet new enough to include a Twitter clone? I simply don't understand his main argument. App.net will be unsuccessful because it's just a clone

This article is pure trash. App.net costs money, which naturally means that the service exists so that rich white men can use their considerable means ($4/month) to avoid poor people. The fact that this author turns the App.net project into

It's a step towards federation and open access to your posts. Why wouldn't you want these protocols? Who wants to be locked down into one system? If that's what you want, use Twitter.

You are paying for the product though... You're paying for an account and alpha access to the product.

Did you miss the part where below every shortcoming they issued a directive to change their product to be more like the iPhone? This isn't merely a comparison.
585.
by cmelbye 14y ago
It's not just an analysis. They systematically compared every aspect of the phones where the iPhone had the advantage, and then provided a directive on how their phone should be modified so it was more like the iPhone. That's not merely ana

Heh, that's very funny coming from a Wikia employee. "Conservative" is the last word I'd ever use when describing Wikia's changes to the MediaWiki UI. You guys have no problem forking MediaWiki and making drastic changes to the codebase ( h

This is awesome. I'm not on board with everything (as someone else pointed out, the navigation is huge and overshadows the content), but it does a good job of rethinking how users interact with Wikipedia by making it easier to use for resea

Safari has publicly had that since October 20, 2010, and of course it was worked on privately before that. That screenshot looks like it's from April of this year?

This is really too bad. By far, HTC produces some of the nicest Android and WP7 hardware out there.

To address #2, they explain why they can't use kickstarter in the FAQ.

Is Power Nap on? (The switch is in the Energy Saver pane)

Wait, so the machine count isn't through the honor system? You truly won't be able to run another instance of the server if you have one production and one development server going?

I generally don't like toolbars with lots of icons that don't have labels. Google's web properties have been moving in this direction and I find myself having to click buttons to figure out what they do.

Eh, that issue is not really an issue. Server-side functions are actually a surprisingly elegant way of handling security. Basically, instead of calling Users.remove({}), .insert(), .update(), etc., you create functions on the server that a

It's not just the color scheme, in my opinion. I'm not a fan of the font, a lot of the icons don't carry semantic meaning (for me, YMMV), etc.

If iOS had widgets, don't you think that people wouldn't resort to the half-working hack described in the linked article?

Not to mention the gratuitous editorializing by the author throughout the article. Are there any technology news sites that are truly journalistic these days? (serious question)

It's still limited to just Kansas City? Hm.
