"Porting... should be trivial." There is a world of difference between getting an <strikeout>executable program application</strikeout> app to run and designing one from the ground up that is platform specific and provides a

YouTube had a 10 minute time limit (now raised to 15) for videos. Google Video was great for watching long-form documentaries and the like.

There seems to be an acceptance that Apple nailed the form factor for a smart phone when it launched the original iPhone. I'm still unconvinced. I'd like a PMP slightly larger than the iPhone and I want my actual phone to be a sim card in

"We have this nifty thing called the Internet now" I accept your criticism of my comment (in support of living in areas beyond your means), but that's unnecessarily snarky, sir.

EDIT: I've deleted my comment and my other replies to this discussion. As irrational as it is, my silly e-psyche recognizes it's easy to hit the delete button rather than watch my opinion down-arrowed.

Too granular and it's an endless set of "are you sure?" prompts which users are likely to develop a blind-spot to... Not granular enough and you grant root-access to everything when you first install a 'flash-light' app. Finding the right b

"Then, put yourself in God or energy's place... You are in a "space" with nothing around you... everything is void... Then where did "you" come from?" There was no "space" with 'nothing around you'. Space is relative. Without time it isn't

"what the hell is the universe?" A mathematical structure? Perhaps a perspective/viewport/subset of the entirety of mathematical possibility? What's between nothing and 'something' (0 and 1)? Seems to me that's only a valid question if aske

Years ago I visited Vanuatu. A small pacific island. The people there were incredibly laid-back and friendly. When traveling around the island by bus, the people in the fields would literally look up as we passed and wave. When I asked a to

Don't be needlessly pissy. Computers can solve mathematical equations faster than humans, recall vast amounts of historical knowledge and information in fractions of a second and passably translate between many languages. Are you saying tha

For some definitions of 'smarter' we already have made computers that best humans. (I think the idea of 'The Singularity' is bunk for other reasons though)

"Your policy response, which can be paraphrased as 'don't build dams, move major cities' is idealogically warped and just wishful thinking." I could be wrong, but I think he's suggesting not building on the areas of the city which form the

I often use Google rather than bookmarks to get to a less-frequented site I want to visit and knowingly click the sponsored text ad at the top of the search results, thinking "should probably throw a few pennies Google's way for the utility

(You didn't ask me personally, but here are mine) I bought the original iPhone on day one (my upgrade from the original Motorola Razr). I vociferously read about technology and gadgets, but am rarely compelled to act on my consumer desires

Thanks for that link... I'm a designer not a developer, but I find articles like that fascinating. (You are right about the other things you objected to in my comment.)

If you actually look really closely, a lot of what iOS does with animations are about giving the illusion of responsiveness and smoothness. I'm not saying things aren't incredibly responsive, but some of the animation techniques are used

When it's JPG artifacts in an image best suited for PNG you blame the publisher. When it's slow loading times you blame the pipes and the piper. Me? I blame three letter acronyms.

He's right though. Line diagrams as JPEGs are annoying.

"they still haven't figured out scrolling properly" Probably because 'proper scrolling' isn't something you can log a job ticket in trac to get addressed by a developer at some point. It's likely so tied into OS performance that it has to e

My head hurts slightly from trying to parse your comment. I realize English probably isn't your first language, but I think you should try and rephrase it if you want to be understood.

Ok, let's assume everyone knows who The Beatles are and will never forget them or their music (and above a certain age that is a more than reasonable assumption). So the teaser banner said: "Tomorrow is just another day. That you'll never

Exactly. Which is why when the linked writer finishes his snarky observation with: "Facebook Messaging is bad? No. It just isn’t built for you." I pause for a moment. I think it's equally lucid to think "but I don't want to step onto your
