At first I thought he used some kind of text-generator, where you just have to fill in some blanks with buzzwords.

I don't think it's ridiculous. They don't have (probably don't want) a web version, so they are redirecting you to Google. Would you prefer to read "sorry, you can only see this map on an iPhone/iPad with iOS 6 or higher"?

If you want to get started with Grails, you should attend this (online) Hackathon.

I am not blaming it on the others. The launch of the iPhone 5 is obviously not as interesting as the launch of the first iPhone, since they are just introducing more features, not a new device family. It's a suspense thing - if you know wh

This is probably why Cook said that they will "double down on secrecy". The event is really boring if you have seen all of the parts on the internet prior to the event (might be different for people not following the rumor mills).

Did not work on my iPhone. Double tapping zoomed in as expected, but afterwards the design resized itself again. The result is quite funny ;) I like the idea, though. Looks great on bigger devices.

The news itself is not that interesting, since you can watch most of their courses on iTunes U anyway, BUT: they will actually give you a certificate after passing the course.

There is actually another point to consider: employee satisfaction and recognition. These ads are stressing the importance of the geniuses for apple. Kind of like intels "our rockstars aren't your rockstars" campaign, which emphasizes the

By the way - Hetzner lowered the setup fee, it used to be 149€, now it's 49€.

Works great! Thanks for sharing. Any plans to release something similar for other browsers?

I doubt that it will work. People who are willing to donate money to a band are much more likely to buy the album, instead of downloading it. That's how they want to show their support.

This. When it comes to fishing, there is one rule: don't change your TLD. When I log in to PayPal I am always getting redirected from paypal.com to paypal-deutschland.de (the german tld), how is someone who is not internet savvy supposed to

Yep, big screens are an issue right now. While it is nice to have such a large map, it takes forever to load and the content window is, as you said, way too small.

You shouldn't. I doubt that they will buy them, they might support them even more to market their Windows Phones, but why would MS buy them? They already have a deal to produce Windows Phones. MS didn't buy any other pc vendor for the same

A colleague of mine says that it distracts her when I speak german on the phone. She can tune out english just fine, but when somebody speaks in a foreign language, she has to use headphones.

Which is very unfortunate. A common set of UI widgets, used for within the right context, are what I like about iOS. I don't want to re-learn how a widget works with every new app.

Besides that - why would you actually rotate between a lot of devices? Is anyone here doing something similar? I get that it's nice to have a work phone and a private phone, but why would you rotate them? I can understand that someone wants

That's generally the problem when multi-platform software wants to "feel" the same on every platform. It just doesn't work. Mac users are used to a different UI, so even if you think that you approach is better, just don't do it. When it co

You can't put a price tag on individual users, thus it might be hard to determine when a user causes Facebook to suffer a loss just for hosting their content. See it like this: If a user blocks all advertisement, he still interacts with his

The first reason has been explained already: They are afraid of (online) credit card and identify theft. The second reason, why a lot of people (especially from Germany) will not be asked to provide a scan, is that they have a credit histor
