Tinder is really messing this up hard. First this, and now I've run out of "likes" for 12 hours based on some new hard limit. I've never had any real success using Tinder, and I've only continually engaged because i

The article doesn't even mention the Knowledge Graph. It's using just referring to the fact that Google is still the first place you go to ask those questions. Usually, the answer resides somewhere in the first page of results. I

Wow. It's really refreshing to see a company take such a such a positive approach towards a problem that most would react harshly.

Unfortunately, they won't be. According to this internal memo, they're supposed to lay everyone off over the next 6 months: "The first step to building the right organization for our ambitions is to realign our workforce. Wit

I think what he's trying to say is that Uber could raise prices "per-trip", split the cost of those trips with 2+ passengers, and actually decrease the cost "per-user" of each trip. If the decrease in price increase

1. First, that's only a default install: you can easily package up a custom 7/8 install disc that gets down to 10-15 GBs. And if you compare that with a distro that installs a Windows-like window manager but default (say, stock Ub

Or even better, right-click the bottom left corner of the screen, go to Shutdown or Sign-out. Along with a ton of other stuff that power users want most of the time.

Yeah, I've been holding back on rooting my Nexus 5 for a while just because I don't want to deal with the full wipe, but this convinced me. Obviously this article is somewhat AV FUD (just don't download the sketchy Spanish ni

As others have said, the word "emulator" draws a distinct crowd who is otherwise (almost) completely non-technical. Having frequented a lot of developer forums for both, I'd say it's analogous to many of the sorts of thr

I think the point he is trying to make is that the technically newest APIs (19/Kitkat) aren't all that different from any of the 3 Jelly Bean APIs in a significant enough way that the SDK can't mitigate the differences in an

Oh that's absolutely true for me. I was talking more about the reaction you get when you're telling your regular friends that last night you went out to a bar by yourself.

Can't really comment on the startup side of things seeing as I'm still in university, but having recently done an internship in a town where I knew no one and going back to school and moving into a place with no roommates for the

I would really reconsider your upgrading decision. It's easy to get past the start screen-ness or spend 5 minutes setting up a 3rd party taskbar and making sure opening files (e.g. jpg, pdf) default to the "non-Metro" applica

But if you implement all of that perfectly, doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of having an open office? (I.e. to stimulate more spontaneous collaboration)

I don't think it's "pure market BS". Microsoft has "total cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments standing at $77.02 billion as of June 30."[1] For a company that's still in the black, that'

Actually, with these new plans, T-Mobile allows you to pay the whole cost upfront if you want.[1] But with time value of money and all that, I don't see why you would want to, especially considering they're giving you a loan at 0% APR. That

I really like the idea, and what few bits of criticism I had you have already seemed to address. I just wanted to compliment you on something specifically that I though was really great: the registration process. Very similar, no confirmati

I realize that the cable monopoly is underinvesting in infrastructure and overcharging for service, but it's still unfair to compare the service of a country as small as Finland to a country as large and sprawling as the US. There's simply

So how soon until we start seeing developers fix these gaping holes? And, more importantly, how soon do we start seeing app-specific exploits that take advantage of this problem?

That's true, but at the same time there's more absolutely fantastic music in the world than I will ever be able to able to listen to in my lifespan. While you or I might not be able to produce it, there are probably thousands if not million

I would've completely agreed with you even a year ago, but it's just not true anymore. Any "useful" app on iOS has an equally useful equivalent on Android. Hell, one of my favorite "elegant" apps, Any.DO, originally launched on Android. As

#6: Get an Android phone and do it in any combination of those ways or a million other ways. In my opinion, one of Android's best features for years has been its extremely open "Share" button that developers can hook into for nearly anythin

Except that it's their rules that they're following, and with HFT those rules are generally rigged to help out the big guys. In fact, I'd be willing to bet that the system wouldn't have actually crashed if there weren't a bunch of Morgan St

Is it just me, or can anyone else not find a single Summer Code Party event? I'm in California, and I can't find any near any of the main metropolitan hubs. Maybe the site just went up?

I could've done without all the hyperbole. I don't like Facebook, but their IPO was more or a less a success for them considering that the stock has actually fallen since Friday. I dislike HFT as much as the next guy, but it doesn't look li
