So you agree that single connection is a problem :)? Under mobile, where high RTT is the norm rather than the exception, this has compound negative effect on performance (mistaken long response time as packet loss, reducing the congestion w

Mobile is one of them, although OP's arguments are valid as well. ( http://conferences.sigcomm.org/co-next/2013/program/p303.pdf ) Also, among many other things: every thing over SSL. Single Connection. Al

Interesting theory. The Chinese are fully aware of the "north-south" differences themselves, although they often attribute it to other reasons, such as legacy effects of numerous mongol/manchu/other "barbarian"

Any data to show whose tablet business is very profitable except Apple? or more generally, is there any evidence showing that the "tablet market" is not equivalent to the "iPad market" anymore?

If i'm not mistaken, that review is for One X for att, which doesn't have Tegra 3 in it. It does have data for Tegra 3 (One X international version), but it doesn't seem to support the claim that Tegra 3 is more power efficient because of t

It's not new, it's in tegra3 also. I never saw real profiling data/usage report regarding how effective this "+1" core is in saving power. But I did saw anecdotal report that the "+1" core often times works at the wrong time that hurts perf

It makes sense for business, but definitely not for users. Instead of building upon something people actually find useful (iGoogle), they want to replace it with something nobody takes seriously (Google+)?

by fredliu 14y ago
ditto. I don't get their rationale behind killing iGoogle. Sure, it's not sleek looking enough nor "social" enough... but are those enough reasons to kill it? Cost of support? This is a product people actually find useful, and many can't li

I think buying general purpose tablet would definitely cost much more. Also, pushing restaurants to first buy an ipad/android tab, and then using your app on it is just too many hoops to jump through for any restaurant.

I guess ordering dishes out of your own Android/iPhone feels more like ordering a take-out instead of a sit-in? I think e la carte is intended to offer more on enhanced dining experience, rather than just an easy way to pay for your dinner.

In many cases, it is exactly their intention to write the patent in that obscure way, in order to have more wiggle room, and in most cases it's lawyers who write those patents, not engineers.

ditto for "coroutine + scheduler as replacement of threads". Another example using this framework is Simpy ( http://simpy.sourceforge.net/ ), a process based discrete event simulation platform. You program in a way similar to the traditiona

pro- or anti-patent aside, this post sounds to me more like Google is really not confident in winning the current lawsuits around Android against its competitors. As this blog is definitely not just a random rant against patent from some ra

This is the mobile browser benchmark for Android, just released by Qualcomm Innovation Center. How do you guys think about the results compared to other general android benchmarks out there?

If i get it right, E La Carte is more about augmenting the dining experience, rather than replacing the current one. It can open the door for "Dining Personalization" since eventually you may have a digital dining record of your own, or eve
