It would be far better if you had actual data, rather than an unsubstantiated rumour.

Yet another straw man post. He's identified a poor update and then claimed that you need to check out the android sources in order for the advantages of openess to become apparent. In reality I know people who aren't programmers or IT peo

This article is full of assertions without actually providing evidence behind them. For example he makes the statement: "since then, very few non-geeks know about individual Android handsets". He doesn't cite any surveys of consumers that

ML derivative functional programming languages are frequently ideal for project Euler in general - Haskell, f#, ocaml etc.

Its also really interesting that the Symbian guy basically dismisses Android as 'yet another linux platform'.

I wonder how much Microsoft have changed strategy due to Google as compared to Apple.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sw

Its an interesting article about the recruitment process, and its great to hear about someone trying something different in this regard and it working out well. I'm not sure the HN title is entirely accurate. Its more an 'experience repor

This article is quite interesting with hindsight. When you consider that even though their branded Nexus phones haven't sold amazingly well, but that android as a platform has grown incredibly since the article was written.

I find it quite amusing that they chose Microsoft as a company who has its mojo back, despite the total failure of the Kin and low sales of Windows Phone 7. I don't see how Bing, a search service with low market share that is losing money

Microsoft still tried to compete in search, Apple are competing despite Google's smartphone entry, there are other mobile advertising networks being founded and people are still attempting to found alternative video networks. Did the fear

I interpreted this graph to mean broofa was implying that Facebook in the long run could achieve that kind of valuation, not that there were other companies with that valuation now.

by rlmw 16y ago
I believe the valuation that Facebook is running on is predicated on an expectation of sustained future growth. Apple is a fast growing company, but I'm not sure that you can expect them to continue to grow at their current rate for as lon

They don't do dependency tracking, but will notify you of updates. I don't think Mac developers believe in packaging libraries, since it requires the same version of the library for all programs. The preferred way to do things is statical

I imagine they're just showing off their programs for the platform. Google have been touting Android as an 'open' platform, I doubt they're going to turn back at this stage.

In the UK I've seen adverts on TV, Billboards and online. That's a heck of a financial commitment from google to building marketshare.

I don't know which nook he is referring to, but the Nook Color is an Android tablet basically with their e-reader software installed. Its not quite as clear cut as all that.

Allegedly Samsung have sold 1 million Tabs within 2 months of putting it on sale. [0] This isn't as fast as the ipad, but it does demonstrate that there's a market for non-ipad tablets. One of the things thats quite important in this mark

To be fair I didn't read this the first time it was on HN - I'm inclined to think that the title of the post is more descriptive than the original, and its deserving front page material, even if it is a duplicate.

They are the kind of things that I would have perceived to be drawbacks were I planning a development platform, but they don't appear to have hurt Android. I suspect that Google's backing might be influential in this regard.
