I don't understand, as the article suggest, why it will be good for Nokia if Qt will be ported to Android, iOS or WP7...(?) Here in Europe, Nokia is still #1 in dumbphones area, and what I see is that there is still a large number of people

Interesting article. Did anyone of you guys tried to sell some dataset to infochimps.com? This could be lucrative, but I have no idea how many people buy this stuff.

Why bogus? The question is completely valid. The article suggested there is something comparable to iPad, only running on Android and costing $200...while the current reality is that only comparable tablet is Samsung galaxy pad, which is no

If I googled it correctly, elo 1800 is required. I'd say with average chess talent, it can take about 4-5 years of regular study and competitive play to reach 1800. So taking your description, it's something between...but hard to quantify s

I expect some learning will be necessary, like how to use multitouch API and all that mobile-specific stuff.

As a long-time developer of Windows desktop applications, I am quite excited about the possibility to using Visual Studio, C# and .NET to create software for my phone. I like what I see so far, and suddenly, Android doesn't look that much e

Benefit to society - C ? I don't understand, software architects are one of the most important persons in software projects, and many of those software systems are of great benefit to society, so why C?

It's not only a virtual book, since he wants to print it. What I don't like is the fact that one photograph is only 1.1cm2, that's too small for it to have a value as a photography book.

I didn't see the hi-res stuff yet, but I consider the photo sharing and presenting to be very good at Facebook. If you guys could manage to compete with Flickr, that would be even greater.

I personally don't know how it feels when you know your colleagues salaries. In all the companies I worked it was forbidden to reveal one's salary. But I can't think of any rational reason why I would want to know it.

Hello, I tried historious just now and indeed, it seems a good product. I think you have to find some compelling reason, why one would switch to your service from others. Also, a big improvement would be, if one can try your service without

I don't know about you, but I never had a real-life friend on Myspace or Orkut, while now a lot of them are on FB, even non-geeks. That's the fundamental difference. To unsettle FB, something completely new and much better would need to be

I agree. I see Google overall lost its "irreplaceable" status. They had it about 5 years ago when their search was clearly the best, and it would be difficult to live without Google. But now, if Google suddenly disappeared tomorrow, we woul
