No. Everything is synced (apps, settings) and there is still native-run code.

This trend will go on, other 3rd world countries will do the same. The term "3rd world" is a bit outdated (it's from the Cold War to describe neutral and non-aligned countries) and is derogatory. It would be more accurate to say India is

I remember reading an article a few years ago by (I think) a novelist who envisioned that in the future we'd store our entire computing system online and just switch between devices, always having access to our environment and files. Whethe

The fact that DDG is listed as a choice for search engines in Firefox is a huge boon for DDG. I never would use it until I took the step to make it the default search in Firefox. It is great 80% of the time and the other 20% I just prepen

I am bewildered by the amount of character typography experts seem to be able to discern from (what to me are) these plain little serif-less monotone Latin characters that litter our screens. I do notice when things are very wrong, but I'm

If all ad-supported sites went down tomorrow, the Internet would still work fine and there would still be content. Just not as much.

I listen to the radio for music when I'm driving (no particular reason other than I'm lazy) and I can not remember any time I heard something introduced that was new to me. My greatest period of musical growth was college. This was years ag

I don't really see the problem here. Look at LEGO's product page: http://www.lego.com/en-us/products/default.aspx They have tons of theme kits. This is just one product line that has some pink and purple crap in it. If your daughter wants

Does this app grab the files from Wikipedia directly? It doesn't seem very nice to create an app that pulls down gigabytes of data from a web service you do not own nor have permission from. EDIT: It appears my concern was unwarranted.

The GPL is a complex license so here are some rules of thumb when using the GPL: you can charge as much as you want for distributing, supporting, or documenting the software, but you cannot sell the software itself. I don't believe this

I am absolutely floored by the amount of lunacy in this post. Congratulations, swombat, you blew my mind. It feels like I have rewritten this comment a thousand times because I just don't know how to respond.

I pointed them to this etherpad [...] where I was researching the question. I wasn't even sure at the time what the right answer was. Was this after you were selected to serve on the jury? They usually make it pretty clear that you are no

Perhaps you've never had the misfortune of using one. Google's CSE is atrocious. It looks terrible and has poor functionality.

I love sorting and filtering. When I'm looking for something, I often remember where it is by different criteria (date last visited, date saved, keywords, frequency of use, numerically, alphabetically, etc) so I get frustrated when my optio

Your bad experiences aren't universal. If the movie is specifically shot for 3D then it shouldn't be blurry, the limitations of the technology (and our eyes) is well known and accounted for. As for it being too dim, you might have problems

I agree that there are asocial people in this profession, but no more than in any other profession I think this is clearly false. The sciences attract the type of personality that is capable of intense focus which seems to be paired with

The next warning is stay off IRC or other places where "hackers" hang out. They think it's funny to hand you commands that can destroy your computer. It would be simpler just to tell the student to not run any command unless he or she can

can you run the same software on each? Yes. In practice, however, remember that linux software is usually manged through a package manager. This means each distro packages each software package to install using their own conventions and f

Sounds good. Open source projects tend to be lacking non-programmer volunteers and the design aspect gets overlooked a lot. Hopefully you'll find some good projects that are receptive to outside design help. Sorry, I didn't quite grasp what

No, I don't think so... isn't that just a page that says "hey, contact me if you want me to mentor you"? I meant reaching out to an open source project that you use in an effort to become a contributor.

Yes, we know. Since you're a designer why not offer your time to some open source project you use instead of just offering your criticism.

Would Dart require its own interpreter/compiler? I thought Google was just going to expand V8 to support it. Then again I know very little about compilers.

That's not censorship, that's marketing. The covers are for news stands (subscribers already bought the issue sight-unseen). And the material inside is exactly the same.
