   iOS still doesn't allow apps to run in background as they wish. OS decides when to wake up an app and how long based on usage patterns. Also OS gives user capability to disable specific apps from ever using this system and also turn it

   IMO, you can't compare quarters of 2 companies with different product cycles. Samsung just released S4 while Apple's last product launch was 9 months ago.

   It will be interesting how they will redesign GarageBand for iPad when iOS 7 comes out.

   Its more than 52% because the number includes Higher degree exempt applications. For example if its a 90K + 30K cut, then regular quota has 65% chance and higher degree quota has around 86% chance. I wish you luck.

   I am disappointed by this article coming from ARS, a site I have huge respect for. The article ignores parts of conversation and chooses the ones which suits its narrative. Developers were concerned about leaving unmaintained code left in

    Webkit2 is a branch of webkit project supported by parties other than apple.

    There is no pumping or dumping. Google and apple have different goals and ideas to how the projects should move forward.

    I was expecting something similar, but looking at the responses it seems like it was just there mostly for google. Any way , supporting v8 on webkit would be a burden when it's main developer is no longer there.

    25$ completely goes to charity. But they could have still done it as a download though.

    I don't think what ever fanboy base apple has is really significant. Sure they are more than what any other company has. But at 400 million users, it is not just fanboys buying apple products. 2 years back, it was a smaller and different ma

    But Google did eventually release their own maps app in the App Store. If Samsung forks android and create their own store front, will Google ignore all the users Samsung has which is comparable to or even more than what Apple has.

    Apple knows this has been a issue for users moving from windows. They chose to solve it in a different way though. OS X uses auto-terminate, killing apps which haven't been used in a while. I think the algorithm was too aggressive when lion

    This isn't just about video, the design helps to keep pin smaller and removes the need to having dedicated combination of pins to support a certain standard which may not be used anymore. For example, old 30 pin connected had support for Fi

    This takes a page from intel thunderbolt which uses active cables too. Initially thunderbolt cables were costly for this same reason but as chips become cheaper and smaller, cost would not be a issue while you still have advantage of a adap

    No, lightning is a proprietary apple connector technology which looks like borrows same concept from thunderbolt which is intel's next generation connector.

    I think it has to do with webkit2 which safari uses. I think they haven't ported webkit2 to work on windows.

    Just tried to reproduce the issue but I was able to send the email with the said phrase with no issues. They may have fixed the issue. Seems like some aggressive server side spam filtering which went wrong.

    I think they can hit 400-500$ price point by using a ARM 15 chip. Chrome already runs in HiDPi on nexus 10 and retina MacBook pros. I am interested about the scaling they will use here.
