I found referring to the Kindle as being for "virtual book burning" straying into rhetoric.

It's a good way to remind you the figure is in ms, and easily manipulate the interval as a fraction of a second.

Obviously it's not representative of all users, but Steam breaks down its hardware survey by OS version. The 60% using Windows 7 64bit is a convincing majority. http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey

But not easily replace with a higher capacity battery, given how various elements of the antenna are built into the back surface.

They offer BaaS and for many apps can remove the need to setup, configure and administrate any form of backend. I'm not sure about OSX, but they've written a bunch of convenience methods for iOS and Android that are fantastic for rapidly it

Is this particularly better on either a traditional start menu or OSX? Finding an application you don't know the name of will always be a difficult thing to do.

Is it a problem that the start menu is huge? The traditional start menu has always felt like a huge usability nightmare to me and I'm nothing but glad that it's been replaced.

When you're paying a single provider for a phoneline/TV/Internet you might not think of them as your "Internet" provider.

Isn't it a bit harsh to say she's stupid? Ignorance of a given field isn't a strong indicator of stupidity.

It's a gross over-simplicication to say that the shadow minister for culture, media and sport is the "Internet Minister". Whilst the internet definitely comes under this department, in a year that this department was also responsible for de

Isn't that the point of the OP? Apps that are increasingly abusing push notifications means that users are increasingly just choosing "Don't Allow" even when push notifications are a key part of a non-spammy app, because they're wary of lat

Indeed, 4.2 hasn't yet been released. And I don't think UK carriers have any meaningful control about when Android OTA updates are pushed out?

Yes, but the Galaxy Nexus both preceded a working version of Flash for ICS and never thereafter shipped with it anyway (it had to be manually installed from the Store).

by estel 14y ago
The Galaxy Nexus does not (and, to my knowledge, never has) come with Flash.
256.
by estel 14y ago
That's absolutely true, but you were quite explicit about Nexus devices also being included. Edit: Adobe made their original statement that they were moving away from Flash on mobile devices a year ago: http://www.theverge.com/2011/11/9/25

Android has not come with flash since Jelly Bean: Adobe long since stopped supporting it and it's absolutely not available on the Nexus 7 unless you sideload some legacy APK.

They probably also thought (understandably?) that the use-case for a tablet is more likely to involve sharing than a phone.

They still did that every night until last night. There's cut-down version of last night's episode at the bottom of this article: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-20032882

We're currently running Gitorious and it's definitely incredibly messy. I'm tempted to try and "migrate" to Gitlab.

Presuming that you're talking about Assange, there are hugely different considerations when Assange isn't a British citizen.

They stand up to "catch the speakers eye" and indicate to the Speaker (the chairperson who mediates the debate) that they would like to ask a question of the home secretary.

In the Fireside chat at I/O they said that the JB webview was entirely Chromium based and at parity with Chrome at the time, but would not be updated on Chrome's release cycle.

Why? Not many people remember many peoples' birthdays: I know that because of Facebook I don't need to proactively ask for and store most friends' birthdays because I'll be actively reminded of them.

You don't need to location AppX, the Android Intent system (Android being the only consumer mobile platform with an NFC implementation at the moment) can respond to the data in the NFC tag and open the appropriate app. I'm not claiming it's
