There's probably some license boiler plate on the product somewhere that lets them do whatever they want. No argument needed.

Thanks for the calendar recommendation. Ugh. Already switch to City Mapper from Google Maps when Google stripped that app. Sad to see the rest of the apps going the same way now.

One of the studies we were shown in a usability class was that pretty interfaces are rated by users as more satisfying and actually are better at letting them accomplish goals as well. If you went to a really ugly web site with lots of clut

Yuck, yeah, that last item of the contents taking up a full second page is really annoying. It would be much more usable and fitting to reduce the blank space above to fit the whole thing. Seems obviously not hand tuned.

Would be interesting to see what the new zero gap screen looks like in person. For people who don't know, screens often have spaces between the front glass, actual LCD, touch sensor, etc.. Zero gap/laminated should improve display

Hmm, I don't really see any benefit over my current solutions. I can wear cheap foam/silicone ear plugs and just set my alarm louder. Sometimes I just sleep with small rubber wired ear buds in (not the hard plastic ones) if I want

I used to drink many cups a day (too lazy to eat) for years. I've been avoiding it the past couple months, however, to clear up some inflammation issues (arthritis, psoriasis, etc.). They did go away, but I dropped a lot of other thing

It's pretty typical for Pivotal Labs to charge 500k to write up an MVP for a startup.

I recently upgraded OSX and couldn't read KeyNote presentations by any one else in the office. I'd honestly pay them $100 to take the crippling upgrade back at this point.

Yes it does. Android includes the NDK as well as the SDK for writing native code (C, C++, etc.) which gives you ARM, etc. specific libraries you package in your app. Although it is pretty popular for people to drop Intel's lib houdini

Warren Buffet said the same thing. That he just couldn't take advantage of the same situations now that he moves a lot of money that he used to get to the top.

It's nice to be an idealist like that, but like the capitalism vs. communism argument - when they made water free in Cuba, people just left the taps running. In reality, media like movies, games, and reality TV make massive amounts of

Hope they don't retina the air like the article assumes. I don't need the pixels to code, and I prefer the battery life, performance, and weight savings of not having it.

In this case Google Maps has been steadily getting worse, so no worries. It feels like every month they remove features and make things take more clicks or require mystery meat navigation. It took me 15 minutes the other day to figure out h

That's irrelevant because it is illegal to go above 400ft with a model aircraft, which is before the zones balloon out any anyway. It's like saying being illegal once over or twice over matters.

VMWare has been capable of that for a long time, although not publicly.

This doesn't seem to have some of the things I use in Cygwin, so it useless to me. Also 10MB vs. 100MB is irrelevant to me. I don't download any movies and music or anything like that so my tiny flash hard drives still have plenty

Kind of sad the UI wasn't fixed. TCL/TK looked old and archaic a decade ago on desktop machines, and still looks really bad here: http://www.androwish.org/index.html/wiki?name=Example+Script... It is old Sun

Nice capture of a one word domain on the new .glass TLD. Although I was expecting it to have something to do with Google Glass and it didn't.

Weird, they color the word asciilands but don't link it anywhere. Couldn't figure out how to actually play. A Google search just gives the blog, which just seems to have dev entries.

There are a lot of URLs that echo back the content from the path/parameters. google.com/s/whatever mentions /s/whatever is not found for example.

Traditional Buddhism actually says you should eat meat if it is given to you as well, and they have been vegetarians centuries longer than the hipsters. They consider wasting food worse than eating meat. You shouldn't allow something t

When I'm writing a contract I usually put this in the milestones I'm paid by. E.g. one week for feature 1 delivery, next week for client requested adjustments to it, next week for feature 2 delivery, week after for client requeste

Indeed, I was reading usability text books in college many years ago pointing that out. But Google threw all that out with flat design and now they have to reinvent it. They always have been very bad at taking in external ideas, so lets all

Sure would be nice if they started getting the basics right. When I moved all the primary actions for my apps into the top right action bar, no colors no gloss no 3d no labels as Google requires, users could no longer find them. Complaints
