Where I work, over the past 2-3 years we've used B+, Pi 2, and Pi 3 (all running Raspbian) for public display screens and browser performance is terrible on all of them. Even the Pi 3 is unable to play YouTube videos without freezing f

I'm not sure how that would change things. If the phone in question had been a BlackBerry, wouldn't the FBI be making the same demands of that company?

His comments about his previous phone, the LG G3, are interesting to me. That happens to be the phone I have, and I think it works great. I'm using a stock-based ROM (rooted, of course, with TWRP), performance is excellent, very little

I picked up a PS Vita and it's fantastic. So far through various sales I've picked up 35 physical and digital games, so, quite the backlog to last a long while. I don't play any games on my phone anymore. I heartily recommend

Now I haven't worked too many places, so I may be naive and/or ignorant, but it's my feeling that most software jobs outside SV and the startup culture are also the wrong environment for "move fast and break things"

My wife and I both own Mitsubishis: me, a 2013 Lancer, and her, a 2012 RVT because she wanted a crossover/SUV with "more space". We're able to fit significantly more in the Lancer. The RVT is basically a hatchback on a h

I have a 2008 MBP 17" that's also gone through two swollen batteries. Most of the time now I use my work-provided Lenovo, but every now and then I need a big screen and Adobe Creative Suite (with a still-kicking Wacom Graphire2 ta

I've noticed, at least here in Canada, there's been this real push with avacado over the last two years. Subway seems to be the biggest pusher, but I've seen all kinds of other advertising about avacado, which previously had

My favorite is Javascript: The Good Parts by Douglas Crockford. It's clear, concise, the railroad diagrams are super helpful, and from what I've seen of Crockford's lectures on YouTube, it also really captures his voice.

One multi-million dollar business franchise gained illegal access to the computer network and private data of another multi-million dollar business franchise. Sounds right up the FBI's alley to me.

Another Netflix annoyance: if I watch the pilot episode of a series, then weeks and months pass, and I never watch another episode of that series, it's probably safe to infer that I didn't like it and you can stop recommending stu

FYI BlackBerry is releasing a 16x9 slider phone later this year, which has fed into the Android rumors. The only glimpse BlackBerry fans have seen of that device so far looked like a Galaxy S6 Edge with a slide-out keyboard.

I've just recently switched back to Firefox as part of an effort to eliminate as many Google products from my life as possible, and it's a really nice browser. I had no idea Firefox's market share had fallen so far.

There's been significant (to put it mildly) turnover at BlackBerry since it was in a position of strength, so IMHO it's not exactly fair to call the company hypocritical. I should hope all the new people have some new ideas and ma

For some context, read BlackBerry COO Marty Beard's blog post[1] from a few weeks ago. I don't think Chen or anyone else at BlackBerry thinks the government should compel anyone to write apps for their specific platform, in fact t

I'm not familiar with Amiga and the surrounding culture, but I was surprised to learn there is modern PowerPC hardware and an updated OS. What can you do with an Amiga in 2014? Why would someone pay $3000 for an AmigaOne X1000 workstat

My work desktop is FreeBSD 10.1 running WindowMaker and I personally love the "dated" look. Reminds me of my teenage years, running Redhat 6.x, listening to nu-metal with XMMS and spending way too much time on IRC.
