東京電力 is apparently TEPKO (The Tokyo Electric Power Company), rather than Fukushima. As their site says, it's pretty incredible that search volumes for this rose so quickly that 東京電力 is in the global Top 10, despite searches being almost e

I've seen it a few times (though I can't recall any examples immediately) in the market, and implemented it once or twice. Usually it's in apps that are ported from iOS with minimal consideration for Android user interface expectations, bec

If every phone sold from today onwards were an ICS phone, and half a million of them were sold every day, it would still take about 14 months for ICS to have a 50% share. Iirc, Froyo took 8 months, and Gingerbread 12 months (just recently)

Some games, yes. Epic foster an incredible community with their incredibly generous terms for licensing the UDK out to all. Skyrim will no doubt see a profusion of mods; the Total War games all have a healthy modding community; all Valve ga

This seems pretty Start Menu-esque, but I'm interested to see if the need to rollover will impact my workflow when moving between Mail/Reader/Calendar. I think I like the look though.

Adapting to the advantages of a dynamic medium is definitely not something I'll ever see as a negative for a website in itself.

I remember going a step further than using VBA macros in Access at least once... Using LOGO in Primary School was far better.

There's a distinction between songs which are from playlists explicitly "available offline" and songs in Spotify's cache. Presumably the mobile version doesn't have a cache for non-downloaded songs.

That's just how the record companies work. There was an interesting breakdown from the CEO of Mog discussed his revenue model on this pretty good Fast Company article: http://www.fastcompany.com/1796382/mog-ceo-on-artist-payment...

The way I see it: you own the book itself, but don't own the writing and story - the information - contained within it. In my mind, ownership as a concept for non-physical goods is much closer to the idea of copyright. Oddly enough, I suppo
