I would presume that at some point Apple will update their "case studies"/profiles to reflect this new tech. This may not be as in depth as you'd like though. http://www.apple.com/education/profiles/

I found their framerate numbers quite staggering, with OS X lagging far behind Windows. Is this a surprise to anyone else? http://www.cuttherope.ie/dev/notes-framerates.jpg

It brings me an almost indescribable joy to find that Wally is the original name. Yet I have no idea why. Waldo always seemed a bit of a strange name, and it still confuses me why it would be changed for the US market. Anyone know why (Wiki

You should watch The Social Network - it's basically a HOWTO guide for your current situation. tl;dw Steal their idea & make billions. (just in case it's needed... no. not a serious suggestion) edit: somehow missed e1ven's post. do that

FaceTime is the primary way in which I communicate with my parents nowadays. The voice quality is significantly higher than via the phone network, and the video stuff is nice. (We're generally doing iPad2<=>iPad2 or iPad2<=>

Do you know many devs getting that outside London for a non-finance sector straight out of Uni? I certainly don't.

What about those of us who don't particularly enjoy single player FPS, and adore multiplayer? I'm loving BF3! I'm hesitant to call it the best multiplayer FPS ever, as that's rather subjective. But certainly it's my favourite so far.

I'm 26 now, so this is ten years ago, but back then it was not uncommon for me or one of my friends to be the ones unofficially actually teaching the IT courses. I've heard the same story from others the same age as me. I avoided ICT GCSE f

What confuses me is that I thought they made a boat load of money from the kickstarter campaign?

in fairness, the popular TV show "The West Wing" is practically a crash course in how to do this... so it's not unique to our government :)

It's likely that the companies decided to postpone as a mark of respect to rival Steve Jobs, who passed away earlier this week. ORLY? Am I being insensitive? Does anyone really think that's why they'd delay this announcement?

Yup, worked for me. Have you ticked all the relevant options in the VM Settings? First stop in the System menu. Start with the Motherboard sub-menu and check Enable IO APIC to improve performance for your virtual machine. In the Pr

The iPhone 4 brought FaceTime/Mobile Video Calling to "the masses" too. Granted, the iPad 2 (and eventually the Mac) got that as well - but the forward facing camera was new (though entirely expected, granted). I now FaceTime with my Family

my apologies, seem to have missed that in my initial read. I still think there were no breakout features this time round though. Siri being '4S' only is a bit of a cheek - and everything else felt firmly incremental. Even iOS 5 doesn't exci

I don't agree with you on that one. I think people would have been more upset, as they expect a number increase = new design.

I recently had a couple long car journey's to take, and was recommended to listen to these podcasts as I went along. Loved them, really quite interesting ... and made the journey's feel really quick! So thanks :) A+++ Would listen again :P

It's still there... and still quite active. Most "projects" and things have a channel somewhere, quite a lot on freenode - including our very own hackernews (irc.freenode.net #startups)

From the article the developer admits that in the first instance, he was a bit silly and shouldn't have used their radio. But for your first point, he's charging for a product. Something that can pick up internet radio streams. How is this

If you download through the "Download Manager" then I believe that is a p2p system. Not sure this is available via non-MSDN means though.

Well, as an example - every time someone reply's to a comment I made on Hacker News I get a notification on my Phone thanks to Notifo. Same with mentions on IRC. So yeah, I'm a bit disappointed that it's going away - I liked the app, and wa

I don't think it's even necessarily a bad thing that her priority is not "the best job" but living in an area she likes (presumably near her "other" friends). This post makes no mention of how active her social life is outside of geekery/en

How did you get "not a team player"? I read it that she was fed up of being the only "dev" person, and wants to join a team of dev's. Not having being part of a team is not the same as not being a team player in my book. She says she's the

While I agree that integrated and invisible is the way to go, the popularity of iMessage will be limited by how many people actually have iPhones. While I know of a lot of people with them, it's certainly not the majority of people I know.
