I simply adore the irony of this. It's not like it wasn't expected. You can't just expect people to sit back and accept this. I hope they are forced to remove the "no sue" clause for good.

You're saying this isn't for beginners and you set a price of 24$ for it? I bet a lot of advanced backbone devs will also not buy it because of the price. While the content may be of good to high quality, the pricing is a bit off.

Any kind of resources invested in Symbian (people, money, time, hardware, etc) could only have a limited return. As you've said, it was only for phones, it was a pretty bad inflexible platform and improving it was very difficult. However, A

The vendor's troubles with shipping hardware with Linux don't lie in "extreme fragmentation" or "hard to decide which distribution / software stack to sell the hardware with". Just so you don't think about it again: it's mostly Microsoft bl

I hate people who believe and / or promote that meme with a passion. If the deal with Google dies for Mozilla, I will reduce my use of Google's search services and use other search engines whenever possible. I strongly believe people who sa

The article itself is a load of FUD. It's funny how articles like these appear like mushrooms after the rain whenever one of the following things happens: - an open source project which can "lower" the sales of Microsoft's products is launc

You've failed to understand the fundamental differences between Android and WebOS. The proof is that you said that multiple app stores will cause troubles to WebOS. If WebOS will be 100% open, HP won't be giving unfair advantage to some ven

It's still there. I recall looking up a way to remove it and found something for Chrome 8-9. However, that "field" has now been merged into some other field and you can't remove it without losing all the data.

Firefox remains the best choice. It doesn't send data to Google or someone else to monitor what sites you visit and other things which Chrome might be doing. Firefox also allows you to use AdBlock Plus, NoScript, Ghostery and a few other ad

It's still Linux under that software stack. The rest of it shouldn't require that much effort, provided the sources for the stack are 100% open and there's a healthy ecosystem. If people in the community created cyanogenmod and hundreds of

I would say the former CEO of HP was some kind of trojan horse meant to kill the company. I am pretty glad that the new CEO, along with all those involved, decided to do this. People love the platform, devs like, other companies couldn't wa

What an antivirus says about some adware / adware downloader / toolbar doesn't matter - if it's adware, I don't want it; if it's shoved down my throat by some installer, I don't want it. I had to deal with cleaning up a lot of machines in a

Most trojan & trojan downloaders are also "just a small downloader that helps to download applications". The only problem is that you will have to reinstall the OS, erase everything and need a new bank account or even a new job. Also, H

The flash download page asks you if you want to install an antivirus, I believe it's mcafee. It's funny, though, that I encountered a "not so bright" person who simply told me "oh, I didn't know you could opt out, I was always uninstalling

I strongly disagree with the following part: "but everyone does it and it's something that's been an accepted way to monitize software development". Here's why: - bundling such software with any product kills trust in one single fire; why w

First off, some people have NDAs where they must not store any kind of file in the cloud, nor disclose anything at all (like the load of a server, graphs, the specs of the hardware, the used software, anything related to the company, its cl

Apple lives somewhere up in a tree and thinks it can look down on everyone. It's ok, they need to be taught a lesson and start showing some modesty. After all, Steve Jobs IS dead, why continue to promote the 'asshole company' image? This dr

It's just one of those interesting ideas which will not make it as a product into the companies which are run by sane people. This is for idiots who think they can run a 100% public company - memos, emails, documents, work, clients, project

Don't trust this g-wan thing. There is no source code for this thing and I wouldn't trust it even if I only had to serve "hello world" HTML type examples in a classroom environment. The guy behind that project also has an ego bigger than th

I can't use anything like this due to NDAs and due to the fact that the management will not approve the payment of such a service. In other words, try to explain to some manager that the development & server administration needs some sp

If you do decide to open source it, you can be sure it will be appreciated. You can also use it as a resume.

Thanks for the reply. It's a pity that there's nothing open source like the Tracelytics SaaS out there. While it may be OK for a large company to build a full stack, not everyone can afford to build a full stack (write the web app, the moni

An open source piece of software to do this would be greatly appreciated. Does anything like this exist?

He says that he has tried to run a server with GNOME based on CENTOS and that his updates broke the machine. I didn't have such a problem, but who knows what this guy, who assures us he knows what he speaks of, did? 1. Yes, there are some i
