How is that better than just showing the flyer at the door to get the discount?

In the small print: "Some of the ClamBook features highlighted may use modified software. It is important to note, most manufacturers strongly caution against installing any software that modifies the original device software (this process

Probably the most in depth article on SSDs I've come across. The part about SandForce controllers was particularly enlightening.

Does anyone know if they actually have permission to include the logos of pInterest, LinkedIn, Facebook etc? Couldn't see anything in the article. Aside from that, it's a nice collection which I could see finding a way into many of my proje

That site hasn't been updated since 2006 so I would rely on any information on there.

I wonder if it would be a good idea to give 'Show HN' posts more prominence as they're less likely to have been reported elsewhere?

Don't they say that "The best way to get a bad law repealed is to enforce it strictly."? NBC were/are a staunch supporter of SOPA. They wanted others to be treated this way, it's only fair they're held to the same standard so that may see h

"…and most of their applications are NOT being coded in Obj-C…" Got any sources to back that up? I've often looked for numbers for ObjC vs PhoneGap vs Titanium vs etc comparisons but I've never managed to come up with anything conclusive.

No, the same tile sets are used in iPhoto for OS X (part of the iLife suite) and some people claim they're used in Aperture (another photo editor but I've not used it). Where they have used it, they used it as hint as to where a photo was t

Has it been confirmed that they're using OSM data or could the data be a product of their acquisition of Placebase (back in 2009)? Apple have actually been using this tile set for a while (it's used in the slide show mode of the current ver

iPhoto for OS X uses the pretty tile set when in slide show mode. I think it has done for the past few versions.

I wonder why the iPod Touch & iPhone are listed separately on that graph (the iPad isn't even listed, I'm not sure if it's included within iPhone or not). If they were combined, Mobile Safari would be ahead by a few percent.

Well, better late than never. I still don't get why this wasn't in from the very beginning, considering the protection covering the location and camera roll.

Why would this be so? Surely the inventor could simply licence the patent to a party which does have the capacity to fully the exploit the invention?

I think the author is saying that the Broadcom GPU outperforms both the Tegra 2 (used in Android devices & netbooks) and the iPhone4S's GPU. (edit: fixed typo)

Have you run this past Apple with regards to their App Store approval policy? I'd be worried about clause 2.12: "2.12 Apps that are not very useful, are simply web sites bundled as apps, or do not provide any lasting entertainment value may

I think Microsoft need to get convince the manufacturers that not providing any physical recovery medium is not acceptable. IMHO, a recovery disc or USB drive should be supplied as standard, as part of the Windows licence.

Just goes to show that you can never make something fool proof (or should that be troll proof?)

The problem seems to be that they haven't been giving their customers these discs, but selling them.

by dan1234 15y ago
Did Comet seek Microsoft's permission to start mass producing recovery discs? Did they make any profit by selling them? I'd imagine a certain amount of money will change hands and hasty apology made before the issue quickly disappears, espe

Most manufacturers now rely on a hidden recovery partition on the HD instead of a recovery disc, though there is generally an option to burn one in the start menu.

Each app has 50 promotional codes but I don't think they're supposed to be used in that way. It's also possible to 'gift' an app to another user using iTunes so the author would be able to use that mechanism to buy copies for the contributo

From what I understand, a lot of the raised money was for the advances required by the various labels in order to close the deals so I'd imagine a lot of money was returned to investors once it was clear the deals wern't going ahead. There'

Same with one of mine. I'm wondering whether the site is merely checking to see if the domain is using godaddy's name servers (mine don't) rather than lookup and parse the Whois info (the only way to really tell).
