It worked on my PS3 and I don't recall having to install any updates. The DVD that cam bundled with the Blu-ray didn't work on my PC DVD drive, though. Can anyone confirm this behavior?

Neat. This example is nowhere near as pretty as the Flash examples, but it's interesting that my CPU is barely doing anything even when walking around. In the Flash version my CPU is pegged just sitting there doing nothing.

That happened when? Three weeks ago? The iPhone has been out for years. And we're still just talking about one phone. I'm not necessarily condoning Apple's action, but arguing that the lack of mobile Flash is due to the new SDK agreement ri

Why would they? It's a second rate tablet with a bunch of bugs priced to compete against the iPad no matter what it's called. I think the reviews might be different if had been released at the price they originally announced. It's probably

Finally let me talk about the device itself. It's heavy. I mean, surprisingly heavy. The specs say that it is 1.5lbs, which sounded very light on paper. For the first few minutes, I liked the heft; I felt that I was holding a solid, well-c

It varies depending on the bank. Public banks cost far less than private banks. Once you figure out which type of bank you want to use you really have to look closely at individual banks. Where do they store the tissue? What is their financ

There's nothing wrong with handing over data in response to a subpoena. They're legally required to do so. The problem is with providers who hand over data without a subpoena.

I agree with your assessment of Apple's tablet, but I think you underestimate their position. The vast majority of consumers simply don't have the awareness of such issues to even care. To a degree, the same criticism applies to the iPhone

The iPad is still going to bury the CrunchPad. First of all, no one outside of geek circles has heard of the CrunchPad, TechCrunch, Fusion Garage, Juju or whatever the hell other name that thing is going by these days. Whether it's superior

I wonder if any of the developers have given thought to their mistakes being used by a government to hunt down its own citizens. That's got to be at least a little bit unsettling. Most of us make mistakes, fix them and never have to deal wi

I don't know if I'd go so far as to say this is confirmation of a tablet, but it is certainly suggestive. It seems like they're much more concerned about a bounty for trade secrets than a leak about any particular product, though. In any ca

Downvoting people who are mistaken is different than downvoting people you disagree with. Something that is factually incorrect should be downvoted because it contributes negatively to the discussion.

I don't think it's clear whether pg is endorsing the downvote as a form of disagreement or simply making the observation that it is often used that way. Petercooper wrote a great response in that thread. Disagreement by downvote stifles any

Umm... We all saw it happen September 11, 2001? You're right that an attacker probably wouldn't back out just because the attack wouldn't be maximally effective, but the result would still be reduced casualties. Ideally, you want to prevent

I think you're missing the point. The idea is to make it more difficult to stage an attack around a specific location, such as a heavily populated area or landmark.

That's not an accurate comparison. That's an improvement to the rendering engine that's shared between them. They all have the feature. It's a different story when you're talking about a feature you're planning to implement and then mention

Yes, but, unlike some open source projects, Mozilla is out to make money from the project and their income is generated almost exclusively through a search deal with this particular competitor.

That's absurd. Why would anyone publish a list of upcoming features and then mention which competitor they're borrowing them from?
