So, when Sun got bought by Oracle, did that count as 'surviving'? because what youre saying implies that and it's wrong.

It's still Elop's fault that he Osborned their Symbian business. And now Nokia's been Osborned by Microsoft with the Windows Phone 8 announcement. And Samsung makes the Android money because they make the best Android phones. That could be

The only thing I was arguing against is the completely false claim that "almost all" Android widgets "silly" "attention grabbing" "obtrusive" etc. That is not even remotely true unless I am just the luckiest widget picker in the world. Ma

What's wrong with giving developers great capabilities? If bad widgets are made people won't keep them installed. When the occasional true gem comes along it will make the enhanced capabilities worth it. As far as widgets go in general,

"This can tarnish the platform experience." Yeah, the Android experience is so "tarnished" that the OS ships on almost a million phones a day. Did you ever consider the possibility that the majority of consumers have a different opinion of

"Because almost every single widget is that way." Pure unadulterated BS. Carry on. Edit: The mod down is funny. So "almost every" Android widget has "far too attention grabbing and obtrusive- silly animations of clouds moving in front of

Android is "too far the other way" because some developers throw everything they have at making a whiz-bang widget? How about just not using that widget instead of using it to cast the platform in a negative light?

I've never ran Steam under Wine but I have played quite a few games with varying degrees of success. My question is since Steam runs beautifully for you under Wine, does that translate into the games themselves running beautifully as well o

With Cornerstone on Android tablets, you can have 3 apps on screen simultaneously. One main app and two smaller apps on the side. It's really cool because apps that have a tablet and smartphone mode use the appropriate version depending on

I've been getting smooth animations on my Nexus S ever since I put ICS on it a few months back and this phone "only" has a 1 GHz single core CPU and 512 MB of RAM.

I've been running Debian and U untu chroots on all of my Android devices going back to the G1. It actually works very well. One key for me was making sure to bind mount the sdcard inside of the chroot environment so I have access to all of

I do believe standby and hibernate are different as standby keeps memory contents hot whilst hibernate actually shuts the computer completely down. I was talking about the former in my post above.

As has been mentioned full disk encryption loses a lot of its efficacy if you just put your laptop in standby all the time. I'd add that as long as a faster boot doesn't compromise your system in other ways, why wouldn't you want it?

There's a lot more to it than that. If somebody clicks your ad and then peel out within a few seconds then obviously your ad didn't do anything for them so the next time somebody clicks, your price goes up. Pretty soon you write a better

I have a Xoom but I've found https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aide.ui&#3... this remarkably capable for Android development. You can even open up an Eclipse project directly in it and edit and install right on the device.

That's only valid in the UK. The Oracle vs Google trial is taking place in the United States where the KJV bible is most certainly in the public domain.

I just took the time to read the GPL both versions 2 and 3. It is pretty cut and dry as far as licenses go. Do you have any actual evidence that small groups or individuals are having trouble understanding it to the extent that it would hav

There were multiple Android prototypes as the OS was designed to run on different form factors from touch-less candy bars to devices like the HTC Dream that had a full touch screen. Here's another prototype: http://www.osnews.com/img/25264

The only Google sanctioned "tablet" from that time was as you mention the Galaxy Tab. The only reason it had the market was because it was essentially a big phone. In Europe, you even pop a sim in it and make calls out of the box. However,

There's only been one generation of Android tablets that's played out and they all came with Honeycomb with Tegra 2's. Even Google admitted that HC was a thrown together hack so its not surprising that the devices weren't particularly compe
