You talked about: "And if Google/Motorola are so cooperative then why are the FTC/EU investigating them for anti-competitive behaviour ?" But now the goal post moved to patent abuse investigations, keep in mind that monopoly investigations

Being investigated and being found guilty are two separate things. Better wait for a conclusion on the process before further inferences.

There is a cut off for that, the moment the market hits a reasonable tipping point on that understanding, they will have to come up with something fantastic. Can't wait.

"Apple declined to comment on the specifics of the case. Instead it re-issued an earlier statement, saying: "We think competition is healthy, but competitors should create their own original technology, not steal ours."" This reaks of disas

Even if the sales numbers translated to a 80%-20% laptop/desktop factual usage worldwide, and it doesn't, we wouldn't "all" be on laptops. Other than that being irrelevant to the fact a mouse is being used or not, much less what kind it is.

The parent post I commented on stated a windows pc and I thought maybe a mouse was present. So I asked if there was a wheel on the mouse connected to the windows pc. Just that.

On a windows pc it works real smooth with the mouse wheel scroll or mouse wheel click plus mouse moved under mouse wheel clicked target. Do you have a mouse wheel on your windows pc mouse ? Also, that mac must really be awesome because I do

Thanks, I will have a look at popcorn. I was tinkering with jPlayer for a bit but it was a hog on the mobile client devices.

The retroactive part of the deal was a clear ominous alarm and you acted accordingly. I find great joy in knowing that you showed a pristine level of ethic behaviour in your security research. Well done.

Let me explain, I found it comical that you could actually be the worst flash dev ever, based on what you stated. It was the best interpretation, without touching the irrational side of it. "Keeps giving me flashbacks to ActionScript". That

Did you use any particular js lib to control the video on the players? Or was that part not js. I ask this because I was doing a server/video player that syncs up to 20 slave audio players with the media, to allow for multilanguage, and did

You used to dev in actionscript to do animation in flash and it crashed your browser everytime ?

Well, that site is a notorious pro apple source so I don't see how they could have come to a diff pov on the smartphone disruption success story that is the iphone. The narrative is at the point of the post-pc world now, let us see how the

I'll use it in a VM until the dev tools I work with start to support it, then I'll go all in. It is always the same thing when a full OS update comes, this is not any diff from the others. I'll keep my linux machines handy on the side as al

Don't get caught up to the point you write about it with a damage control approach. "If someone cannot differentiate themselves from a bot spitting out ("dreaming of %x and %y", x, y) then is there really an identity to steal?" Is this turn

They keep reframing it to cover the vacuum, going to the point of sugesting the photo license from the wiki page entitles them to do what they want and that the portrayed person doesn't understand it, this borders lunacy if it wasn't so obv

I take it they force themselves to come across as extremely unlikeable but do throw in that they want to show how an inverted stock put compensation Algo is not good for anyone, or at least that is how they whitewash it. While picking on a

You recommend me looking at a source that states it doesn't have more bugs than IE. Look, the article on techcrunch is troll bait and the agenda is meme based already, the article title brings to ponderation on the amount of self satisfacti

Flash compiles to executables that run on ios and android, games made with it are chart top apps on both of these systems stores, free and paid. They are fast, 50 fps capable games. Your referenced example of the HTC EVO makes it look like

There are several reasons, audio in html5 is not ready at this point. Also, 3d in javascript is miles away from being a reality (actual 3d, like in x,y,z referenced points, not the anaglyphic 3d kind) and Mr. Doob with his fantastic three.j

What you post is fascinating, that is why I am asking all these coming questions. Are you able, in good conscience of course, to point out antivirus software that would not qualify as "POS"? Do you think that installing said not-"POS" antiv

If you want judges to uphold the law, you must remember that the law allows for jurisprudent behaviour from judges that shape internal problems of the law and legal systems. That is to be upheld too. There are bad cases that try to use bad

With their lack of mobile flash plugin support, Apple just made flash executable wrapped apps to be profitable through the app store, I wouldn't go about categorizing Apple's calibre on profit related decisions. "but for those devs who DO d

Thank you for the link. I just don't know how RemoteInspector negates the existance of a FlashPlayerDebugger, so the "thank you" part of the slides is exagerated in my modest view. I use Haxe and compile mostly to the c++, Android and HTML5

So being ahead of their time AND having people trying to shoot them like they are kooks, doesn't make them kooks. I see your point.

You state that users from Fortune 500 companies that use massive amounts of iPads never use iTunes and that "iTunes doesn't even exist on the iPad"... and that is something you state as "facts" that would need to be refuted. Is that how zer
