The IE vision of embracing the web is being incredibly dogmatic about "you shouldn't have to do anything special for IE" while simultaneously introducing a slew of IE-specific awful.

Even with IE11, I still have four VMs I have to run to effectively support IE. Flexbox is still pretty far from a viable option, unless you don't care about multiline (in which case, go for it).

IE11 has been, in my experience, the largest source of awful, browser-specific hackery since the Galaxy S2 or Blackberry mobile browsers. You might think that, if you've worked with IE10, it's going to be smooth sailing. It's

I used to work at the intersection of 2nd and Pine, where a stabbing took place right outside of work. Most of the violence in the area being gang-related isn't exactly the best reassurance of your safety.

That is correct. Netflix streaming requires an Xbox Live Gold subscription.

I just came from a project that required heavy use of HTML5 audio, and let me tell you that the 15+ ffmpeg calls during the audio build step were the least painful part of the process. HTML5 audio in iOS is a bit of a black box, with variab

Is it, though? The state of HTML5 audio is still pretty atrocious.

From what I understand, the discontinuation of WoW TCG has more to do with the relationship between Cryptozoic and Blizzard. Blizzard and Cryptozoic are competing in the same space with Hex and Hearthstone, which makes for a complicated rel

This isn't as uncommon as you might think.

It's not a matter of expertise and attention to detail. It certainly isn't impossible to make a native-feeling web application, but I do think that the level of effort is comparable to just doing the app natively, and the web counterpart wi

I've had pretty extensive experience with PhoneGap targeting iOS, Android, WP7 and WP8, and would neither recommend it or use it again. This isn't so much a commentary on PhoneGap as much as it is HTML5 as an application platform. The bar f

FWIW, this demo runs on Chrome Beta for Android with WebGL enabled (although the UI is a bit unusable in that context).

PhoneGap's plugin system makes it possible to hook into the native touch events and mimic touch events in the browser. IE9 on WP7 is genuinely awful, though, and an app in that environment is guaranteed to be horrible. IE10 on WP8 is a vast

FWIW, IE10 on WP8 started doing touch events under vendor-specific event names. (MSPointerDown, MSPointerMove and MSPointerUp).

A common workaround for this is to ask for a VIN.

Great work! Some things I'd like to see: - Ability to loop sections of a song. - An easy way to restart the current song from beginning. - And, because I'm not great... Slower than half-speed playback. Thanks for providing a

On a normal keyboard, I hit 120+ WPM. On the Touch keyboard, I spent more time correcting typoos and missed keystrokes than typing for sure. I'd have to have a camera on the keyboard to see where things went wrong, because it _seemed_ like

I waited in line for ~4 hours to pick up a Surface on launch day and ended up returning it a little over a week later. This review touched on performance, but it really was abysmal. Nothing was quite as painful as watching other people use

I think my biggest problem with the "if you don't want X to happen, then don't do X" statement is that it only makes sense in the context of working as an individual who controls all possible moving parts. It doesn't make sense (at least, f

The order being made at all is what I'm most concerned about. This is an important case about technology with a judge that demonstrably does not understand technology. Perfect recipe for a lose-lose situation.

> The judge also backed off on an order that Hotz “retrieve” the code from anybody who he may have forwarded it to. Good to see the judge is knowledgeable in this area! I'm sure this will end well.

Red Gate's FAQ states: "we think ultimately this decision will be good for the community." So much for that ;)
