Here's an overview on TI's OMAP SoC, http://www.omappedia.org/wiki/Ducati_For_Dummies#Ducati_Subs... Though as mentioned there is always the challenge of die space, making an rtl available is a smart step. You coul imagine synthesising th

I think you're splitting hairs in the first point, it's also strange though that CS grads also have the highest unemployment rate: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/10477551 . Which seems to contradict your point about developer roles, or speaks t

The boom had an effect, although the number of IT professionals grew (slowly) after the boom (see page 4 of the link), and I'm fairly sure it doesn't solely explain the collapse in Computing degree applicants. Also, when looking at average

The UK has relied for too long on relatively cheap but willing tech. labour. I believe one major factor that enabled this was the boom in home computing in the early 80s. I don't know whether it is fair to call this unique (to the UK), but

Sounds like the author is confusing professionalism with 'conventional wisdom'.

It can break down, but it's a damn good place start, especially if you don't have a good philosophy to replace it. Does it need stating how useful and powerful text based output can be?

Regarding point one, I think some people use this excuse too readily. As a single example consider: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_personhood IMO if companies want to assert rights as individuals I think it is permissible to expec

The thing that didn't work iirc is that people other than Nokia tried to write their own Symbian Telephony server (TSY) and failed to get it working. What makes Android successful, was coming late to the party are QCOM & co having easie

Thanks, I'd installed it, but had forgot the ignorant peace it brought to me.

Don't people talk differently depending on the company they are in? I think most people will have different levels of trust in their acquaintances, at the extreme what I might say to my significant other will be different to what I talk abo

Yep, I saw this interestingly articulated here: http://stumblingandmumbling.typepad.com/stumbling_and_mumbli... In essence, the power of Facebook to connect you with your personal friends also makes you re-make how you present yourself to

I know what you mean, but doesn't there seem to be something vulgar and the amount of money ($6000) to attend? You can read plenty of things in the press about the extremes of celebrity, and no doubt if someone opened a Nightclub which cost

I can grok that, though for me I found myself going back to my MacBook Pro because the iPad needs propping up and is too slow (browsing). Ignoring slowness, admittedly a problem for any tablet in my opinion.

Yes, I've tried a Xoom today, I also have bought an iPad a while back. Have you tried a Xoom yourself? I don't really see the relevance of the number of applications to the the UI experience.

by edderly 16y ago
Strange really because I've found the iPad to be a dull clone of an iPhone where the Xoom seems to have a UI which exploits the size of the screen.

"Refactoring breaks a lot of test cases (mostly with renaming variables)." this seems to be the easiest thing a refactoring tool would handle. Why wouldn't you re-factor your tests at the same time as your code?

Except Apple is a bad example as it makes it's own OS and own the end to end user experience with out a dependency on a 3rd party?

by edderly 16y ago
But this points out a potential weakness with the model of taking someone else's OS and slapping it in your device. Once the operators (typically) have added their crap on top it leaves you little margin to extract extra cash until you get

Ignoring the problems with WP7, if Nokia were to produce phones with other 'external' OSes why would they stick with just one? No one criticizes Samsung and they are pretty much a mobile-OS whore: SHP, Bada, WP7, Symbian (albeit a year or s

Just say that you're going to work for yourself, feel free to hint that it might be in the same domain. The point at which you are leaving isn't probably the best time to look for business. Just try to leave without burning bridges, which u

The biggest struggles Apple would have with a new leader is establishing that leadership in the minds of the executive team and major/influential shareholders. A lot of CEOs pretend to be a Jack Welch or Steve Jobs but are often just glorif

Over the period of time the average unemployment rate in Germany has been notably higher than in the US. It seems unreasonable to compare the performance of economies on spot years. If you want you could compare the 11.5% unemployment in Ge

I suggest that people don't go too overboard in praising Germany. Their unemployment rate over the past 20 years has been a disgrace and do not forget that though their trade surplus is healthy some consider it also reflects the weakness in

Sounds like a common theme, this is also mentioned in this Tweetdeck Android developer interview. http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/11/14/developer-interview-... Developing on the N1 was perhaps a mistake. We became used to the speed of i
