There is still the adapter so i don't really get the hate. Moving to digital has a lot of potential in the long run and personally i am very happy with my bluetooth headphones.

even then, as you are probably not employed for only 1 year (in which case the perks could be transferred to someone else) the costs for a good setup are negligible compared to the total mount spent on a developer.

I don't agree. Of course a car mechanic can do his work with just the most basic set of tools, but will he be as productive as someone using the newest stuff that enables him to work faster ? Probably not. There is actually value in ha

I am willing to bet it is almost zero. Android does the job for most people that crave modding-ability/customisation, so Ubuntu Touch is really only interesting for a very small niche. Among the people i know who really care about open

So how are they handling the fact that their business is violating Apples OSX terms and can be taken down at any time ? Also wondering how the $329 price works, as this seems to be based on HPs Elitebook which are more expensive.

Tesla needed to have something groundbreaking like the Model S, otherwise they would never have gotten the attention and sales that they got. The germans already had an established business and didn't need to take risks. Also their sal

I guess you are mainly referring to DSL internet connections because this is not a problem for cable providers. They might have some problems inside their network at times, but in theory you CAN get the maximum bandwidth. For DSL it heavily

I wonder if there really is a big appeal for 1Gbps fiber for most people right now. I want fiber badly but i know that many more reasonable perople are perfectly fine with their 50-200Mbps cable/DSL connections and see no reason to upg

just to chime in on this, modern PHP is nothing like what people remember from the pre ROR days, i still use it to this day and the major frameworks and libs are really well written to the point i feel some are even over engineered and almo

But isn't it always good to own the property you live in ? If instead of paying $1000 a month for rent, you pay that $1000 a month for a loan for your own apartment you still have the same money to invest that you have now but you will

These kind of comments are really dismissive. Sure, MS PR did fire up the hype train a bit too much, but in the end they only want to show what it will be capable of in the future, as they are not selling the current version to consumers ye

While i prefer stock Android, the Note arguably benefits a lot from a different software because it's tailored to the Stylus and round edges. Other than that they already toned it down a lot to where it was a few years ago, so i don&#x

pretty sure the experience would not be great on the original ipad. Low resolution and probably to slow to properly decode the video stream in realtime.

Unless they changed the product massively, Synergy is just about rerouting input from a host to client PCs, but it won't stream video or audio.

But 135 million is the number of journeys, the number of unique people taking these journeys will be much much lower. If you take the metro twice every weekday, that is already around 500 journeys per year for one person, so the number of u

I agree, but i still wonder how big the chance really is ? All the numbers you see are usually country or even worldwide averages. But for example, if you live in Paris as a young professional who uses public transport a lot, flies a lot an

The nature of Unity makes huge amounts of mediocre games done by inexperienced devs inevitable, but i don't think it is a problem of Unity specifically. There are amazing games done on the platform like Firewatch, Cities Skylines, Monu

Currently sitting in my apartment on the couch and get 27/12Mbps with a ping of 33ms on Telekom LTE, that should be enough for anything you can do on a mobile device. Not sure what other major cities are getting and i don't doubt

i would argue that having only one universal graphics api would hurt innovation and progress, so it's not perfect either. MS is not even the worst anyway, Apple is even forcing Vulkan do use Metal under the hood.
