I think Nintendo's failure is way more complex than this article makes it appear. It has nothing to do with hardware, but a lack of compelling reasons to buy into the hardware. If you think way back to the GameCube, they were king of the h

A Xeon class CPU is quite a bit different than the mobile/desktop class CPU Apple puts in their other systems. I think Macro is being a bit dramatic in that a stagnant Mac Pro means the end of an era and I call bullocks! Intel's Xeon chips

Well, but it does hurt their employment advantage in areas where they actively compete for labor. I wouldn't take such a cynical view on why they support raising the minimum wage. Having people who make more money also means in areas where

Well root is the default full access account. It is a bit easier to root@serveraddress and brute force in that way than needing to guess which account in the system has sudo access. It also becomes easier to detect when someone is attemptin

XNA was a POS and honestly, DOA. Microsoft tried to simplify game development on top of C# but even indie-developers opt'd to go the C++ route with a 3rd party cross-platform engine. Plus as a game developer, if your game is successful enou

Ahh, well said. I think you nailed exactly the thinking inside Apple design. Most everyone agrees that Calendar and Find My Friends UI adornments are way over the top. Still, their target market is grandma and not us, so the kitschy-ness o

Well, to be fair, iOS store launch apps all looked like the System Preferences app. It wasn't till apps went out of their way using design as a differentiator that it had beautiful unique apps. Windows Phone barely gets any attention, so th

100% agree and only this to add... sexual interest can go up or down depending on your partner and life situation. This is regardless of love, interest or what-not. For me, I went from one relationship where I (a male) was faking it to ano

I'm sure an idea of a similar framework gets proposed all the time, however once stakeholders look at the huge cost in it, it gets tabled. An argument people make on Hollywood's side is that sure, there are entire storage facilities of cont

Point 1: There is no other way to write client-side browser applications. Point 2: Node.js allows a team of 1-2 quickly get a server-side app up and running. Once a project takes off and needs to scale to a larger team, it's extremely easy

Not to change the subject, but this decision just made my switch to Office 365 that much sweeter. If anything I love that I get push notifications (active sync) for emails and group calendars work much better.

Would a 60 year old really want to work 18 hour days with a bunch of 20-somethings crammed into a San Francisco studio converted office? A Silicon Valley startup is just one type, but there are infinite businesses out there to start and gro

Richard was in charge of the entire Maps project (client and server). His decisions were mostly pressure from Forstall, but that's how things were always done under that organization. Apple's magic always seems to fall out of the chaos from

Check out this article. LOL, 10.0 also suffered from a mixture of poorly blended UIs. Brushed metal, pin-stripes, and old Carbon hybrid UIs with tiny fonts. http://veerle-v2.duoh.com/blog/comments/mac_os_x_105_leopard...

Here's how I see it playing out, Microsoft will be successful with the Surface if they take it seriously and update it often and fast. They have a lot of catching up to do and it's a seriously great start to something different and unique.

As long as I can play my epic multi-year effort, triple A, Uncharted/Gears Of War games on a giant screen, I don't care what you call the platform. This article can't predict the death of consoles until the PS4 and XBox 720 come out and act

I dunno, the iPad Mini seems like more a reaction to the 7" tablet market than Apple's commitment to remain laser focused on a few products. It's even a very conservative product launch that stinks of wanting to check off a bullet point fo

I don't dispute HTML5 can perform well if optimized the right way. What I would dispute though is that it's actually far harder to develop a web app that feels native than it would be to just make native apps. Plus people want access to de

This experiment is flawed. iOS 5's forward/reverse geocoders are using Apple's servers, just like iOS 6. The only way to use Google's forward geocoder data is to make a REST request with your own API key using NSURLConnection yourself. In i

There is a slight difference though, you should still be able to tell distinctly at a distance this is an HP vs. a Mac. Having a high resolution display built into an all-in-one body makes sense to copy, but using the same color scheme rega
