This is pretty pointless, as final image quality depends on a lot more than just the sensor, especially on a phone, but a better measurement of sensor quality is pixel size or density, as bigger pixels gather more light. Pixel density is ca

Currently I find web apps have better experience on iOS than Android: you can add them on the home screen like other apps, they can have icons and splash screens, you can make them really look like native apps, as Amazon did here. It always

Is developing anything of that size, in any language, not painful?

Did I ever say that they do? In this context I intend “support” as “endorse”. I don’t think they endorse it, or they would be shipping it with the browser. That doesn’t mean they oppose to it. They implemented an API that allows 3rd party c

My absolutely favorite feature is "Show related messages" in Mail conversations. 10 years after Gmail did it right, I can start using a desktop client again.

I think this has been one of the major innovations of the iPhone: not allowing carriers to tamper with it. MS understood this and they are doing the same with WP7. Google knows it is a problem so they release the Google Experience phones, b

I think that is also due to a form of lock-in. Emacs and Vim are so different from anything else, and you invest so much time customizing and tailoring them to your use that in the end they are actually your own editor, not Emacs or Vim any

Yes, I was talking mostly about visuals. But again, very good job.

Well, either those are corner cases or the Homebrew guys are doing a great job because I've never had a problem. Not a heavy user though. Before Homebrew I used to build my own packages because I tried and couldn't stand Fink or MacPorts.

Hey, not my thing but the way you detect the current post and synchronize the list and content is really slick. Also, no offense, but you should ask some designer friend to polish the UI because this looks very good already and it can be ev

The benefit is that Homebrew uses what you already have in the system, without creating its own separate world where it rebuilds everything even if a perfectly working version is already provided.

I’m kinda surprised by #2: I would think a scripting language to be ideal for this kind of thing.

Why didn't you use UIAutomation? Was it lacking? ( http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/Develo... )

I'm willing to bet that if it always put you back to the first screen, he would be saying that the Home button makes you lose context. Design is always trying to find the best compromise.

> Because the OS already includes a home screen. Right, but if you are looking for a different one it means that you need/want something different than what's provided and satisfying your need surely must have some value to you.

I think that's because they are selling them as pocket computers, and a lot of people don't care about having another computer. Those who did already got them.

This thing of people always asking for hard numbers, sources, proofs for everything one says and if you can't provide them your words are worth zero is getting a bit tiresome. Sometimes you can also express personal opinions, you know, gut

If you use git-svn, this makes git svn dcommit -n actually useful to review what you are going to commit: [alias] svndiff = !"$(git svn dcommit -n | grep "diff-tree" | sed 's/diff-tree/git diff-tree --color=auto -p/')"

I was only replying at your statement that Android is not free software: it is, by the letter of the law, even if it doesn't feel like it at all, in spirit.
