The difference is Google will release another Nexus within one year that will likely have LTE. MSFT makes a new Windows version every 4 years or so.

Fresh fruit stocked and a Blendtec/Vitamix for smoothies. Herbal teas and teapots you can take to your desk. Foam roller for the ailing back. Seriously. Espresso machine. I know this isn't layout but having these in your kitchen would be ni

HSPA+ runs about 8mbit from what I understand. LTE is in most major cities now and people regularly pull down 35mbit (I have witnessed this myself on Telstra in Melbourne). Pretty big difference. I was awaiting this new phone but severely d

It's better to lean towards bluffing than to overreact and expand our military spending unnecessarily and rapidly bankrupt ourselves.

Can you elaborate as to why you'd use the pen to write notes rather than typing? I haven't used the Note II yet, but on the Note I found it cumbersome to actually write with the pen, and the translation into text was poor. I'm curious to he

Oh, yeah, I agree. These are very bloated, outdated solutions. But I don't think the site administrators are really interested in doing a full overhaul. Could possibly hurt SEO. Porting over old posts and data would be difficult too.

Not really. You are just looking at the top, progressive layer of the web. There are still tons of niche forums using old software like vBulletin but with lots of traffic. Anything from car enthusiast sites to bodybuilding.

That depends on your monthly expenses and how little you can afford to live on. I would say the "durability" of your income is much more important: will you still be earning in 6 months? Two years?

How far are you planning on going with this? More apps, turning into a full on app studio? Just yourself, or hiring? Will you seek investors? These are all considerations as to whether it's worth the hassle and cost of incorporating an LLC

Yes, it's kind of like comparing a state owned oil company to Exxon. Another example is Emirates. Can't blame the govt for backing the airline, though, as it leverages a huge strength: Dubai is within 1 stop of virtually all airports in the

I don't mind that as long as the potential fees are made clear before purchase. That way I can decide what my needs will be and determine if I can navigate that fare structure to minimize my costs. If it were up to me, all passengers and th

These decisions at enterprise level are made by people who are also consumers. Away from the office, they own their own iPad or Android device, their kids own them, and they are used to them. Apple is showing us that you can take a backdoor

Actually, they don't do that [attention whoring] just fine. They've actually severely diminished that experience with the new system that limits the exposure your updates get unless you buy a $7 promotion. This scheme is a disaster ... yes,

Imagine if you just started a 10 day vacation, aren't checking emails and such. You get home and find everything deleted. Ridiculous.

Well, people's engagement with facebook has certainly declined from its peak years ago. However, all your "friends" are on it. Nobody wants to go back through that process on an upstart network. Nobody has the energy or motivation. There's

There are plenty of things I would, and do, pay monthly for. An app still isn't one of them. My point is there's opportunity everywhere and people these days think it's only in software.

Google went crap when it started favoring news and blog publishers over all other content. Almost all the results are blogs/news these days.

How is this a "startup" that needs VC funding? It looks like a cleaning company, just like the millions that are already out there. What am I missing? They have an app?

Where do you suggest old people live, then? Most everywhere else in the US requires car ownership to get around. Old people and cars do NOT mix well for anybody. In NYC, they can step out of their apartment and have everything they need wit

I was hoping it would show the IMDB rating on the Google movie listings page. I always end up having to search for the title -> click IMDB link -> view rating while picking a movie to watch in cinema.

You don't need milk, you're just used to it. It only takes a couple of weeks without it for you to no longer crave it. Go long enough, and the taste of milk will actually put you off.

A lot of good advice here that almost never applies to or works for those entering the work force out of school with no work experience. That's exponentially worse, especially outside of tech.

What does this have to do with hackers? This has to do with laws, legislation, and authority.
