This is a great example of why mathematicians have difficulty getting others to use and understand their work. What the OP says is perfectly true, yet completely incomprehensible unless you already know what he's talking about, at which po

And a refurbed iPad 1 is $349 from Apple, $399 new, as long as they last. Presumably, they're still making a profit.

Chrome has a background process that does the updating for it, Adobe could in fact use the same code Google does if they wanted (and it'd likely be much higher quality than anything Adobe wrote for themselves!): http://code.google.com/p/o

There is an ExpressCard/34 slot on the 17" MBPs, and there isn't really room for one on the 15" and smaller sizes.

'Existing code' refers to Google's codebase, not necessarily the rest of the world. Then they can do things like have their version control diff apps like Mondrian/Rietveld have fixed-width UIs that fit on one page, when they know that eve

Their feedback form doesn't work in Safari. The site feels like a Flash site, but doesn't use flash, which is nice! It also works on my iPad. The 360 is a bit slow but it's there.

A pessimistic answer would be that all the people who were working on Mozilla who liked to add bloat like email and IRC and Palm syncing to a web browser jumped over to Firefox. Or that the guys who wrote Firefox 1.0 have moved on. Or tha

At least the iPad is being updated frequently, and nobody's stuck with an old version (except original iPhones...), unlike IE6 was. Sidenote: This blog's highlight color is green on black? Ick.

This seems like 'I want a store like the iTunes Music Store for videos' that doesn't have the movie-company BS that the actual iTunes movie store does. (i.e. DRM free, has absolutely everything, doesn't cost a ridiculous amount for TV shows

I think the 3GS and 4G encrypt in hardware. Also, you can set your phone to drop the key to wipe the phone if someone inputs the wrong PIN/password 10 times in a row. You don't have to worry about someone brute forcing it.

The correct answer is to use a client that does threaded conversations and hidden quotes properly, like Gmail, and then not care about top or bottom posting at all. Seems like an argument only for old fogies who used email in the dark ages

You can buy a Snow Leopard DVD for $30, or get downloadable dmgs if you pay for the Mac dev program. Snow Leopard works on any intel Mac. Upgrades are easy and preserve all your stuff. No need to format or anything. Of course you can buy a

I generally use the aluminum remote to control my Apple TV, and the Remote app on my iPhone to type stuff, because typing is ridiculously tedious with the remote. But I don't need to type all that often, so it's an OK tradeoff. Most of th

https://me.com/ You can select the service you want to go to (mail, calendar, find my iphone, etc.) before you log in. Also the sign in box 'shakes it's head' no when you screw up your password. Pretty cool.
