Yes, they do. Unfortunately, the time my (GSM) operator sends is off by 2 minutes when I compare it to GPS data or the NTP synced clock on any desktop. So this feature is not very useful and I will be very happy if I see NTP sync in a futur

I am still wondering why Bitcon has not created a scheme for user-friendly addresses. Remembering something like 19HcFgnnJseANJAHUjFifVwz68AGYrHc7v is way harder than Donate.P2PF or something like that. I think there is a URL service that o

What about the other features that contribute to the price of a used car? From smaller ones like if the previous owner was a smoker to larger ones like whether the car was involved in an accident (even a smaller one). Usually there is a cat

For a little perspective - the App Store passed 15 billion downloads back in July [1]. Google seems to be catching up. [1] https://www.apple.com/pr/library/2011/07/07Apples-App-Store-...

From a purely programming point of view, this looks like a very difficult task - different peripherals, different host systems. Kudos to their dev team if they can pull it off.

Usual Li-Ion batteries get a bit over 1000 cycles, so if this is 10 times more power, it provides more power for 150 cycles than a normal Li-Ion for its lifetime.

Wow, I didn't know this technique had a name :) I used it today trying to figure out why a SharePoint application was eating up the CPU - break into debugger 6-7 times and 3 of those happened to be in the same function call or its children

Karateka was the first game I saw and played on a friend's Apple II clone. It had a really cool easter egg (from the Wikipedia page) - The Apple II version came on one apparently single-sided disk. As an easter egg, a second version of the

Call me paranoid, but after I read about this service I immediately started thinking what would happen if the browser was compromised - no UAC prompt and elevated privileges through the service...

We've been using NVDA ( http://www.nvda-project.org/ ) for a while now and it works (for our screen reader needs) better than JAWS. Plus it's free and open source.

What's to stop you from putting a Silverlight APP in the tiled interface? Silverlight runs OK now in HTML pages so in theory it should work in the HTML + JS Win8 box as well :)

Anyone that has the HTTPS everywhere extension (Firefox) is already using the SSL search in Google. As others noted it has been in beta for quite a long time and is missing some features like the image search or the doodles on the homepage.

What I was implying is that a snapshot of the peers in a given torrent is not exactly hard evidence that each of those peers has a 100% downloaded copy of the files. For example, I remember that some torrent clients have a "super-seed" mode

--- Film companies pay snoops to troll BitTorrent sites, dip into active torrents and capture the IP addresses of the peers who are downloading and uploading pieces of the files. --- This is a very vague way of gathering evidence. I am sure

Since most applications are still 32-bit, most users are still OK with 4GB. Case in point - games on PCs. I upgraded my video card at least 3 times in the last 3 years but the main memory of the PC has always been 4GB and i have no problem
