I had the chance to set it up last night, and one very noticeable change is the speed of the UI. It is remarkably faster on my netbook. Congratulations are of the order. Thank you Canonical and the open source community.

You should run some A/B Testing on your landing page. For example, try a version that specifies the state in which you live and one without. This should give you better conversion metrics.

Oracle makes tons of money using this scheme. They can milk that cow for about one more year, with Win XP/Vista/7. Windows 8 is pushing hard to control the installation process. Oracle knows it is coming to an end.

Not to give in to conspiracies of any sort, but these videos prove nothing. 1. Why are the zoom levels different? 2. I'm certain the HTC One X can shoot more decent videos than what we saw. 3. Are we dealing with equivalent bitrates? 4. Isn

Wow, just tried. Steps: - Do Not Unlock your phone - Activate Siri - Go to Town This is potentially really dangerous. Now I'm wondering if apps themselves should actually be responsible for granting permissions when the phone is locked.

Good technic, there is a quote somewhere that sums up your strategy, which goes something like: "As long as you do not speak, the word is prisoner of your mouth, once spoken, you are prisoner of your word" Wise nthnclrk is wise :)

Are we talking about Chrome beta? I'm up-to-date on OSX and do not see the "Hot Dog" button replacing the wrench.

Friend, my best advice is: Do it. Don't write about being "about" ready to get there. Be there, and show us. Cheesy plug: YES, you can! Piece of advice: Have a goal in mind, and plow through!

I have to somewhat disagree with "OSX focuses on developers" and nuance it with "OSX will pull the rug from under the developers' feet when it feels like it" (Carbon 64-bit anyone?) With that said, I have nothing to say against this. Apple,

I love the idea of a kickstarter! I'm just wondering what "direct" reward can be given in exchange for a donation. While most of us see the benefit of such a drug to the "human race" I really think the success of kickstarter is due to its p

I guess the nuance he brings is that working on your bad idea hard enough can lead you to "pivot" towards a better idea. The other implied argument is that focusing your efforts on ONE project is often the key to success. How many of us are

As you noted duly, there will be a Youtube app for iOS. You also noted the move might bring ads and other unwanted noise. It will certainly. Someone has to pay for the service. Now, what will be interested to see is how many people switch t

After many trials and tribulations (Apple TV + Airplay, Roku 2, PS3) the ONLY decent (read working) option was XBox 360 + XBox Live Gold + Comcast XFinity* + HBO Go App. It does feel like I lost my soul signing packs with so many devils, b
