Note that you have to enable GPU Emulation for any given AVD first! A lot of people seem (understandably) confused that their emulator wasn't suddenly much faster with this update. Quick Start Guide to Getting GPU Emulation Working: * Open

The simple fix to this is to use the snapshot system that's built-in. Start it up once, and then just continually deploy your app to it. That said, this will make app development much nicer.

The problem with the simulator approach is then you have to make sure all of the APIs behave exactly the same both on the desktop and the phone (which are running two different processors). This certainly causes some issues (the Simulator h

You can still get GPU emulation on Android 4.0 - this isn't tied at all to the x86 images for 2.3.3. When creating an image, just make sure to set the hardware property "GPU Emulation" to "yes" (you can do this by creating a new emulator, o

Well, you actually wanted a synonym (Little Coder's Predicament not problem), just not the ones they appear to give. For what its worth, _why's article is the third result for me, and a couple other articles on it are in the top 10.

You could probably do this with some cleverness using Keychain or a custom URL scheme that an app with ads will only respond to if they have some ads cached. I'm not 100% certain on this though as I've done very little with iOS. On Android

You don't need it to be OS-level. When an app with ads turns on, just have it grab a whole bunch of potential ads and cache them in some shared data store (e.g. a Content Provider). I imagine that the harder part is grabbing the right ads s

I mean, there are incentives. If a battery lasts longer, a user will spend more time in apps, which leads to more ad views. Whether the ad companies are measuring and paying attention to this is a different matter.

Even if you do screw it up, the commit should all be there and valid. The only thing that happens is HEAD won't point to the right commit on other boxes, and then when you do sync you'll clobber the file containing the commit for HEAD, thus

Strangely enough, the repo appears to have some ROMs. Smart that he doesn't expose them to the casual user and that he doesn't advertise them, however.

Just to make sure its clear, the author of this runs a media company and is not a Googler. I'm not sure he benefits at all by rationalizing away "people's concerns without having to address them".

I believe you have linked list and vectors flipped. vectors have O(n) insert, and linked lists have O(1) insert. Regardless, your point still stands.

It isn't true. Literally the first dialog you get when starting the G+ app for the first time asks you if you want to sync current and future images to G+. I believe it's the dialog from the article that said "1. Wifi 2. Wifi+3G 3. Never",
