One thing to remember is that when the Mozilla team originally created XUL browser engines were a different beast. At the top you have JavaScript which is _significantly_ faster on many different levels. Combine that we current html featu

Well BB10 devices might not be for sale, but the browser has been shown off and it is part of the dev devices that developers got at BBJam in September. If you want to see a little preview of it in action checkout this preview video taken

Overhyped title. Corporate lawyers explicitly tell developers to never ever look at patents, read about patent news etc because if there is a chance they knew about the patent and then used it it is tripple damages so of course they "pay n

Besides FF, Metal Gear Solid is another game for the PS1 that I have seen pop up on top 10 lists. Both the N64 and the PS1 had a range of good games for their system. Tomb Raider, Gran Turismo, Spyro, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night al

Well don't put Perforce on such a high horse. Yes it can hold a lot of data, but one common reason brought up from corporate IT guys about why they were looking into Git was that they were having some problems scaling Perforce. From downt

At least one big company that was using Perforce to store tons (TB's+) of binary assets that was looking to migrate to Git after talking it over with them I ended up recommended they stick with Perforce. For users that are just looking for

Having helped several large companies migrate I would agree that this is a top concern, but it can be shown that Git can handle all of the users without any problem. Common tips like: If you are using pure ssh beyond 500 users you want to

Hmmm I wonder if you could make a game built around this core idea, not just of save points, but taking different branches and even merging choices.

The whole application sounds like an optimizer's dream. Improving performance (especially startup) has always one of the most fun aspects of programing for me and to take one something like sim city where there are probably tons of opportu

Which Blackberry did your company give you? Starting with BB6 the in house browser was replaced with one based upon WebKit. If you have an earlier device you got the one made in Java that was made in house that wasn't as good.

You were targeting the Java devices (probably BB5, BB6?) Unlike those devices, the BB10 devices (like the Playbook) are based upon the QNX OS and so the overall development experience is significantly better. But don't just take my word fo
