If you're on OSX you can use Fluid.app to just make a little web-app out of it. I don't use GMail's web UI but it should work fine in Fluid.

Have you used Mail.app on OSX recently? It has most of those things. SmartFolders are the same as search folders I assume. There's a fast/robust search system with saved search queries. QuickFolders (the extension?) sounds kind of like the

Apple had a WWDC 2012 session on optimizing web sites for high DPI displays. Interesting but not terribly complex stuff. I think if you follow the best practices they outline you can feel pretty confident your site will look good on a high

I assume he means something like the Surface Pro? I don't think we'll see anything like that from Apple until the weight issues are resolved. The MS Surface Pro is 2 pounds. The original iPad at 1.5 pounds was pushing the limits of what mos

For what it's worth Apple's laptop line starts at $999. I totally agree that a $1k+ PC laptop is going to be fine too but I think the confusing part for consumers is it looks basically the same as the $350 model so it's harder to make this

Easy to understand why this is happening. When Vista launched you could walk into a store and buy it on a PC that could barely run it. Mostly due to lack of RAM and bloat ware. Sure it was cheap but not a good value. A $350 borderline unus

He's just trolling. Assuming his film doesn't make $100M at the box office or win a bunch of awards he knows there's no chance in hell Apple is going to promote it for him.

Apple just asked for and got a full-on import ban on the Galaxy Nexus Samsung has requested injunction on Apple's products in the past too. IIRC they were all denied. Motorola requested, and was briefly granted, an injunction on Apple pro

It's a smart price but I suspect that Microsoft has burned too many bridges for most people to ever consider upgrading their computer's operating system. For the average person a (Windows) operating system upgrade has traditionally been cos

They just need to line them up. We know these icons are often going to be next to each other. I know Googlers are using these phones. It doesn't bother them?!

by jsz0 14y ago
Glad they fixed the icon height inconsistency issue. That bothered me a lot more than it should have. I always look at little problems like that as kind of a proxy for the rest of the system I can't see. So some random app force closes and

Our culture has to change a lot before a product like this can be mainstream. I don't think I could feel comfortable being in the same room with someone wearing one. The core problem is they break our ability to perceive the environment we

What else could be going on? Maybe Apple's case/patents are legally stronger than a lot of people are willing to admit?

Since everyone is suing everyone else I don't know why people want to single out Apple. They got hit pretty hard by Nokia a couple years ago. I think they learned a hard lesson about how the game really works. I don't know how to draw the d

It's going to be really tough to compete on price without slashing specs/quality. That's the part that confuses me here. At $250 or $299 it would have served the same purpose with the third party alternatives hitting closer to the $199 pric

You're trying to apply common-sense to law. That doesn't work. The court has to assume the patent is valid until it's proven otherwise. The patent was legitimately granted though it can and will be challenged. This is important because it e

I'm not really sure why they are even using NFC for the setup. All the streaming is done over wifi anyway. I guess NFC could be used to reconfigure the wifi as needed which could be useful in some cases where your streaming target is on a

I hate the thought of worrying about the future ramifications of my searches. For example if someone asks me to check the time of a sports ball game for them will Google Now nag me with sports scores I don't care about in the future?

Are they going to aggressively market and retail this device? If not most people won't even know it exists.

Personally I don't give Apple a free pass for not being able to update the original iPad to iOS6. They low-balled the RAM presumably to keep costs under control and now users are going to suffer for it. Delivering one major OS update is bet

by jsz0 14y ago
I think you're right that tablets are a luxury item but that might also be part of the iPad's success too. People aren't really looking for the cheapest option it seems. I remember reading somewhere that the average iPad sale price ends up

Hiccups aside, which I agree is universal, the scrolling performance in-particular with Android devices just seems atrocious. I remember playing around with the GNex when it came out and just moving between home-screens was full of lag. Tha

CM9 is only at the release candidate stage for ICS so by their own definition it's beta / un-stable. For my device it's not even officially supported so I rely on random zip files I find in forums for updates. Pretty sketchy stuff.

Apple gets happy developers who can use the latest & greatest APIs and support the latest & greatest features/services Apple offers. Android OEMs have no incentive. They don't get a cut of app or ad revenue. To this point at least l

Only by installing alpha/beta quality software from an untrusted source. Not an acceptable solution for most. You're right though about buying a Nexus. That's the only way you will have any chance of getting software updates. If it's not av

Hard to say. It may come bundled with the final release of iOS6. I think they just wanted to get it out the door now for whatever reason. The app uses a number of new UI metaphors and includes elements of the iOS6 App Store redesign so perh

I like it. What's wrong with having a little fun? This isn't a UI to control a nuclear weapons platform or something. It's more like a UI to a game. No one uses standard win32/cocoa UIs for games. It would set the wrong mood. Apple wants th

Isn't a 7 inch tablet kind of redundant when most Android phones are 4.5-5 inches these days? It doesn't seem like an extra 2-2.5 inches is going to make a big difference especially when you are running the exact same applications scaled up

This seems to happen anytime people are forced to make a choice from a limited number of options. Everything from sports, to politics, to consumer electronics of different types. I think it's because our brains are really good at comparing

Like any other part of the labour market wages are largely based on the supply of labour. There are probably millions of people in the United States alone who are qualified and would be happy to work at an Apple Store for the same wages. Tr
