And then fail like Nokia did. I used to be positive about Windows Phone as a #3 mobile OS but I just don't see it happening anymore. I actually think BB now has a better chance at the mobile market, even just for BBM, and Firefox OS is gett

I wish I could retweet that, but no such thing here. :) I'm not affiliated with the asker but I'd like to thank everyone too, this is encouraging--I'm 23. I've been regretting my youth lately because I don't feel that I'm a good programmer

There's too many assumptions and subjectivity in this article to even warrant a good discussion. What if voice wasn't the only way to control glass, e.g., gestures? What if the Glass that we see now isn't the same design as the one that goe

I have a Nexus 4 and it's beautiful. I love it. But I don't really consider it an "LG" phone because look at how strikingly different it is from their other models. It seems that because they carried the Nexus brand, they had to follow the

But of all the hardware makers, LG? They make ugly products. Innovation is not really in their DNA. I wonder where this is going.

I have a question: Is it cheating if I haven't had a task at work for weeks now and I'm using my time in the office to take Coursera and iTunes U classes on Mathematics, CS, and iOS development instead? And when I get tired I go to the gym

I'd like to hear someone's comparison of IntelliJ and Eclipse. I've used both, but because most books and online tutorials on Java revolve around Eclipse (even Google recommends it for Android development), it's my primary IDE and feel quit

Don't know if you guys heard, but there's buzz around here in the Philippines that the next Pope might be Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Tagle ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luis_Antonio_Tagle ), or at least the faithfuls believe he has a g

I share their opinion on other forum software, but for god's sakes the UI is an eyesore, literally. I clicked on try, and when the home page loaded, I didn't know what to do next because everything looked clickable. I know they'll be improv

Great insight on XKCD, however I think that besides the content, it's shorter than "xipne" and is much clearer how to pronounce. Those characteristics still fall under best practices.

I never really understood the hype around App.net. It's a product that doesn't solve any problem or pain point, neither does it address any need or want that Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Google+ can't fix. And those for are free.

What excites me about Firefox OS is how HTML makes it so much easier to programatically lay out all those UI elements. Android's XML layouts are okay with me but look at how there's much less code to be typed in FFOS to achieve the same eff

I'm sorry but I fail to see your point and the need to write with that tone. Prostitutes have been around in civilizations for far longer than doctors and lawyers and yet they're still not getting paid as much. And the statement that softwa
