Great work. Like it. I can see myself using this on slow days. Did you post this to reddit? btw, > FlipMeme let's you browse images posted on Imgur & Reddit Should be "Lets", no apostrophe. Being a reddit oriented site, gotta take m

What's this. Gruber complaining that he can't reach the edges of an iPhone display? I never thought I'd see the day. He even admits there were some people who couldn't even use 3.5" displays one handed. Is the Apple kool-aid wearing off?

I'm surprised I had to scroll this far down for a link to the video. Thanks.

Why not? Is there a difference in the actual chip? I thought it was just a trimming of the plastic around the chip.

That has changed recently. With the recent Angry Birds Space, they have a 'premium' option for 0.99 and it has a healthy 500,000-1,000,000 downloads.

Samsung may have copied the shapes and a few gestures like slide to unlock with the original galaxy s. But anyone who claims that it gave them a market advantage is being disingenuous. Woz has always been rational about stuff and what he sa

What's the big deal here? Anybody who wants to install other extensions can still do so. How often do you install extensions from other sources anyway? I think this is a good solution to the problem.

It's the same principle and you're using it to suppport your subjective claims as fact.

In my opinion, the computer itself looks nothing like an imac. The keyboard, and touchpad however, do look exactly like Apple's equivalent products.

The Verge is the best tech site out there. This type of "Higher moral ground" trolling from Marco and Gruber is absolutely unacceptable.

The discoverability thing was maybe valid on Gingerbread and below. But with ICS and above, the widgets are integrated into the app drawer, and there should be no discoverability concerns.

The Nexus devices are generally the most open of all Android devices. Consequently, there's a Firefox OS port, in alpha right now, for the Galaxy Nexus. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1805282 Many Android phones can also

That's all fine for Microsoft's business strategy? But what does Win8 bring to the table for me, the consumer, that I couldn't have already gotten by using an 3rd party app on win7/xp?

Except that the vast majority of Android devices are not bootloader locked (Almost all samsung phones are sold unlocked, HTC provides an after-market unlock tool for most phones, Motorola recently started doing so). Besides, even if an Andr

Oh yes anandtech is the best review site out there. But I specifically meant analysis of various factors and breaking down rumors, long-term trends, stuff like that.

This was a very good piece from gruber and I say that as someone who has consistently hated his snarkiness and apple fanboyism in the past. He makes deep analyses of the ipad mini here and dare I say, sets himself apart as a key asset in th

OP, you are my inspiration from now on. I'm in a very similar situation. And you've just given me some hope. And thanks for that. I'll strive to teach myself more stuff.

True but there are multiple ways of doing something. So after thinking about an idea, finding the easiest way to implement it is also a task in itself.

The apple comparison can't really be made on the android side because the apple brand is a very strong one. iPhones can sell based on brand alone whereas HTC can't really rely on that. I think for the first in a series like the HTC One to r

I think HTC is failing more because they've failed to understand what consumers want. The HTC One X was an incredible phone but they went with a non-removable battery that significantly held it back compared to the Galaxy S3. The locked boo

Incorrect. That image is banded around just to serve a particular viewpoint. There was already a capacitive touchscreen android device in the prototype stages at the same time. Look at this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=playe
