If this is true, I'm disturbed by the fact that: 1. Google has failed to tell any of us this, 2. I don't even know if I had any of the vendor's applications in the past, as they have been removed entirely, AND 3. Google has failed to tell a

I'm not actually sure why I posted this. I was drinking that night, so I'm sure that had something to do with it. Sorry guys!

I'm sure you're great, but I'm sick of seeing: "I have been doing web work since I was nine." What's up with this? I was probably the most technology savvy kid to come out of my high school, and I'm still not even remotely close to saying s

I'm more than pleased with how Android looks and behaves on the Nexus One. Obviously it can only get better from here, but I really hope that Google tries to avoid going the exact same route of Apple with their iOS. Apple has a lot of desir

While I don't personally have a reason to use this, I'm sure a lot of people will find it quite useful. One suggestion though, the user should be able to select their own URL if possible, and if they want to. I know it'll pose some security

I think what's brewing on the Korean Peninsula is a great example of a potential low-probability, high-impact event. Things are heating up further and further, and the potential outcome could be devastating.

I don't want to be a skeptic, but you need to ensure you haven't cut back on your fiber intake before you assume that you have Celiac disease and that cutting back on gluten was the correct decision. A lot of gluten-based products are also

IBM, RIM and Nortel all have pretty big labs in Ottawa. Not only that, both RIM and IBM are growing insanely fast here.

Let me further expand on the problem here. the author says, and I quote: "They refused to be pinned down to an exact reason, simply stating that they were doing a cull of any applications that presented widgets to the user." And then she

I realize it wasn't listed in the rules, but when Apple comes knocking on your door and gives you a reason for the rejection, and blatantly tells you "NO WIDGETS!", it shouldn't be hard to realize that the damn "nice things you can put on y

I don't understand this. The author goes on about how they don't know what's wrong with the app, but then goes on to quote herself (from an email to Apple): "Our app is a beautiful photo frame with a few nice things you can put over your ph

I prefer Google's results nearly 100% of the time. Quite often, it's more trustworthy. Not only that, most people are familiar with the Google maps interface, so that's what they would prefer. How do I know that his web site is going to be

While this is a fantastic article, I kind of want to disagree with some of the points listed. IQ tests are standardized in a way that you don't need to be a scholar or academic to know how to solve and/or answer the questions. Look at it th

I'm upvoting it because it is quite informative and something I rarely see. I've seen a million photoshop tutorials, and a million HTML/CSS/PHP/etc tutorials, and lots of crap on Apple and the iPad and Google and Android. How often have I s

This is a great article, but it would be much better if they highlighted products that were either: a) Not super-duper niche, or b) Somewhat interesting In my opinion, a large percentage of these products were missing legs before the develo

I'm sure you already know this, but the mobile apps aren't just complimentary to the wristband, they are mandatory . For the device to work the way people expect it to, interaction with the phones is necessary. So trust me, you want both t

I'm not even going to read the article and just tell you all that an iPad is like 1/3 - 1/4 the price of a Mac, so in that alone we should conclude that it'll sell more. Not only that, there isn't really a competitor to the iPad, whereas I

I hope he gets the gig - he did a great job on this comic. Side note: Does anyone know where the job posting is? I'd like to see what they are actually looking for.

Why do you use confusing language? How many people actually understand what "partisan politics" are? Building a good product doesn't mean you have to be a hypocritical bunch of assholes, building a good product means creating a compelling p

While I usually have negative things to say about the iPad (sometimes good things), I have been able to touch type decently well on my Nexus One while in landscape (and sometimes portrait), and its screen is significantly smaller. With that

Gaming on the iPhone is nothing like gaming on the DS. The DS provides multiple interfaces (touch input via stylus, tactile game pad) for gaming. The DS is far cheaper. The battery lasts longer on the DS. The DS has better, fuller games, wh

Almost every negative he mentioned for BlackBerry emulation is incorrect. It blows my mind that people write critical articles like this and not do ANY homework on the actual subject.
