This. ICC is known to beat gcc usually.

I hate iTunes and Quicktime with a passion and don't consider them to be user friendly, but then again I'm a Windows user, so maybe it's my fault.

But will it have a fan? :) Kidding aside, this is good news. Competition is good for mobile.

Sure, but when you can get the same revenue for less money AND have your own browser which you can control AND are independent from a third party, it would be even better.

Would be interesting to see how much Google spends on Chrome development each year. I suppose it is much less than the estimated 100 million they pay Mozilla, so this alone would have been reason enough to create their own browser.

Knuth comes across as living in a bit of denial here... Sure the frequency speedups were much nicer, but faced with hardware limits that make this impossible, he should point out that the future lies in finding algorithms best suited to mul

I can recommend Nomachine for remote desktop work, it is blazingly fast even for crappy X applications which redraw often. http://www.nomachine.com

I think only relatively small teams can be 10x teams. With big teams, people can easily underperform and not get noticed, while the contributions of the true team players are often overlooked. This leads to declining morale. With small team

You gotta love IT. On Windows there was perfect integration between apps after Microsoft added linking and embedding using COM/OLE. 2D/3D hardware acceleration was standard. Linux as a competing OS implemented most of this also. Then came t

It's a substantial win for sure. Of course it is unlikely that Motorola will try to enforce the ban, but it gives them an excellent bargaining position.

Syncing music (in fact, any file) has to be the easiest thing on Android: 1) plug in via USB 2) copy files 3) unplug I do not want to install any software to do syncs, so this is the way I want it to be. What value could syncing software ad

This won't help, the ruthless businessmen can easily collaborate and lie to the outsider, he has no chance keeping them in check really.

The ability to plug in an Android device into any computer with an USB port and be able to access all data and put new things on it instantly without any sync software overhead is a killer feature for me. There are others, like better hardw

1) enable USB debugging on your Android device 2) connect it to your computer with the USB cable 3) deploy your app from Eclipse Took me one minute and I could test the app instantly on the device.

Yes, because the scrolling is very well supported by hardware. But you will notice the slowness when you are zooming in/out of pages (the font smoothing takes about half a second). But Apple got it right compared to Android, and you are rig

Apple makes compromises, too. On the original iPad scrolling can be really laggy (probably only after installing a couple of apps, so you won't notice it in the store). Meanwhile, the current generation of dual core Android phones have hard

They produce software for employees of other companies, where they can track their performance/bonus plans etc. So this number is probably the number of seats solds to companies (I think Siemens was one of their customers).

It is hard for startups to replace the real value of SAP, because it is a standard ERP basis+auxiliary apps, all integrated on the same data. You will spend years to build e.g. the payroll system, and then you only have one piece of the puz

Using the custom ROM is more a matter of taste and not functionality. I don't like the design of Touchviz personally, but there are many people who do and use it.

Mostly because of Apple's (or let's say Steve Jobs') attitude of "Android is crap, they stole everything from us, they are scum and need to be exterminated". Many Apple "fans" also have the same attitude. So it is great to see a man who fou

SII does not have pentile. The screen is bigger and much brighter than the iPhone's, which is more useful to me than 300+ppi (which was only done for technical reasons anyway, to get backwards compatibility with the old apps due to the 2x f

The Samsung Galaxy SII has been the inflection point for me. Such a great device, beats the iPhone in hardware and matches it in software (except in polish of some apps).

Thanks for also considering the power users/edge cases. Even better would be to have a prefix for the search, e.g. /l(iteral) so that you could do the whole search by keyboard only (but perhaps there is a key binding for the menu option? Wo
