Since when are they available for free?

It's entirely possible that Amazon have just run out of keys for the digital version...

And despite their supply problems, the Nexus 4/7 are top quality products.

$99/year to publish on the Store (at the moment, they don't allow Free applications). SDK can be downloaded without paying. Can develop on any Vita or certified Android device. (These: http://www.playstation.com/psm/certified.html )

Doesn't Playstation Mobile count? It's an SDK and accompanying store for publishing to the Vita and Playstation branded Android devices. I can absolutely see them extending this to the PS4.

iPlayer already only supports a few specific web browsers that have particular proprietary plugins installed.

If they had the time to go through the chain of command and reach a measured, rational decision, perhaps; but it's quite possible that a crew manning a missile defence platform had only a few seconds to decide on a course of action, and wen

Yeh, South West Founders seems to be consistently pretty popular. Don't get me wrong, it's definitely something that I'd love to happen.

I'm unconvinced that Bristol (or any other region of the UK, especially those commutable to London) has the critical mass necessary to support one. Perhaps a worthwhile experiment though.

Of those people who were in the company directory, none of their specialities seem to point overwhelmingly to this being mostly about hardware. There are some incredibly talented people from a range of fields.

But that wasn't a problem with Chrome's rendering engine: there were plenty of WebKit browsers on Android from the start (including Browser).

One of the graphs shows that LEGO have increased the number of different sets they're producing a lot, but I frequently still see boxes of "just bricks" for sale, so it just seems as if they're offering the consumer more choice.

Because they've found that 16GB is adequate for many peoples' usage? Heck, I don't feel too constrained with 8GB on my Nexus 7 for the way I use it.

That was true for Keepass 1, but since 2 I think everyone can open it read/write? I think I'm prompted to "synchronise" when I save if another user has saved since I first opened it.
227.
by estel 14y ago
We do something similar, but with relatively few users using Keepass 2, there aren't really any issues with leaving it open on multiple machines. Is there an issue besides synchronisation?

If they're random passwords, they'd need ongoing access to the password database. (If there are suitable protections against the database being exported.)

It's probably technically incorrect, but the page title is "404 Doodoo error".

Does Google Now even use GPS? Passive wifi/cell tower location will probably work for almost every feature I can recall.

I thought that only worked for apps that were once opened (since the phone last closed) and hadn't yet been killed by iOS's background task management thing?

They aren't push notifications, but client-side notifications that respond to the user's learned habits and situation. I guess some of Google Now's functionality could be offloaded to push, but lots of it is based on the user's location, wh

That was definitely one of the concerns that we had when we decided not to implement GoCardless last year for a product. Paying by direct debit is such an unusual process online outside of Paypal and magazine subscriptions, that it's easy t

With Android 4.1+ (4.0? can't remember) if you long-press on the notification it will tell you which application is responsible for it.

I only briefly played with the NXT too, but I thought it was similarly C compatible? Having full control of the I/O over Bluetooth connected to an Android device (there's an SDK-ish thing for custom apps) was one of the better things.

If the cost of receivers comes down sharply, devices might try to use as many networks as possible to get an accurate fix as rapidly as possible. I can definitely see GPS-Beidou-Galileo together.

Similarly Windows 8 can change the desktop theme's colour to match the wallpaper.

But the usecase that the op refers to (installing free/cheap apps) doesn't require entering a password in the Play Store.

It doesn't remove those talks at all, it says that these are factors to consider when trying to determine if a talk is likely to perpetuate a hoax or not. Just because there are exceptions to any of these flags doesn't mean they aren't vali
