Cute. Potential lawsuit. Confusing name choice. [Clippy][1] is already a thing. It's the open source 'copy to clipboard' swf by mojombo. [1]: https://github.com/mojombo/clippy

I tend to agree with the need for "Meh". In order to make a good comparison, both sides need to be more similar. I mean, how can I compare a git diff to a line of css? Perhaps "Next" would sound nicer than "Meh", but the idea is the same. I

I'm strangely reminded of when people said that Android support would kill Instagram, because of their inferior cameras. (Don't shoot me. I'm an Android user of Instagram.)

This must be what they use on TV when they're pretending to know about computers.

Is Pixelmator not a decent alternative to Photoshop? What about the GIMP? I haven't installed Photoshop in years, but then again, I'm a developer, not a designer.

They're not exactly trying to get it taken down either. I'm sure that their legal team could make that happen, if it was in the company's best interest.

The time should be proportionate to the cost of the software.

You're right. They were bound to use that data. I just assumed that it was for serving up more targeted averts. I'm not against making money. I just don't want to see what happened with newspaper and TV happen to the internet.

I think the bubble trend is dangerous. For a while, I was comfortable with Google knowing so much about me. But since they're using that data to decide what I need to know, I decided that it was time to ween myself off their services, inclu

For a while I hated my Motorola Defy. T-Mobile was really behind on releasing Android updates, and all the bloatware really slowed it down. Finally, CyanogenMod 7 came out with Defy support, and I was amazed by how snappy it was, and how mu

AT&T seems to have forgotten how many customers they gained by being the only network to offer iPhone for a long time. Now that they've got those users, it's easy to take them for granted, and wish they'd done things differently. Had th

Java 6... from 2006? I'm sorry, but innovation and Java do not belong in the same sentence. All of the innovation has moved on to dynamically typed languages, because it grew tired of having its balls fondled by JVM/TSA. Public Static Void

Programmers have been tossing the word Enterprise around for decades, like it means something. Quit it already. You're embarrassing yourself. Many so-called Enterprise Java apps often don't work at all unless you've installed the /exact/ JR

Is this rangecheck() function that we're debating critical to the Android platform? Is that the feature that made it so popular? Clearly not, or Oracle would have made smartphones already. I'm curious as to how many different ways a range c
