Would you trade off developer time to figure out how many registers to use, how many pipeline stages you want every single time you need to write code? How many of your developers are apt at figuring that out? And that's a decision you

Programmers don't give a crap about the reasons mentioned in the post. So, if FPGAs do take off in the dev community, it'll be for different reasons. Such as when 80% of the world's code can be, with accuracy, can be parsed i

NO. What's the point of this? Parallax exists on the mobile because a phone IS a 3D object and because it's used for 3D applications. When is the web used for 3D? The closest we come to 3D on the web is games; and JS games already

Skeuomorphism was important to transition users from physical objects to virtual objects in a meaningful way. It enabled you and I to understand what tap/touch/pinchNzoom etc are. Now that we know what virtual objects are about,

Nothing wrong with it. It's just time to move on, boeing 777 came after the glider; 7 came after 6; this comes after skeuomorphism.

This was inevitable. What bothers me is the disconnect between the icons for Safari, Settings, and Compass. They don't mesh with each other.
