why do people keep saying an LCD screen is an 'e-reader'. Completely missing the point. Calling e-ink 'crappy' and then telling me to read books on the same type of screen as the monitors sitting in front of me is stupid. You wouldn't read

I wonder why it matters so much that the C# tools weren't open source? Given the BizSpark program gives you them for close to free (and express versions are free) what does it matter that he doesn't have the source code? The article didn't

its awesome. Samsung Galaxy S comes bundled with it, made the move from keyboard to touch screen bearable.

Are these sort of things only open to US users? many apps I find on the net I scan the QR code and it finds nothing. I'm in Australia, so I assumed Pandora, Last.FM etc were all region specific, but this? I wish it would at least tell me th

they have fixed this. They regularly blog, have sent email messages, twitter posts etc apologizing for the delays and keeping us informed on the latest updates on shipping, demos of the product to show they are making progress etc. I'm real

yeah I have no problems waiting, I'd imagine it would be very difficult. I do think they should clarify what they mean by saying they didn't take anyones money though. Unnecessary statement and one that can be disputed given everyone paid $

but what does any of this have to do with the fact the signal goes down when you hold the phone in a certain way? whether it drops from 4 to 2 bars or 2 to 1 based on whatever algorithm they had surely doesn't change the fact that it is sti

to clarify: if you position your fingers on the home keys incorrectly (ie, in my example, I started from the " key rather than ; on my right hand) it seems to realize this and correct it for you. Could just be a result of their search histo

Scott Hanselman is a .NET guy, most of his readers are .NET developers, he was simply contrasting it with what the majority of his readers use.

I just got a Samsung Galaxy S, it's a great phone. I was looking at the Nexus/Desire before this but when I saw it I ran with it, bought pre-ordered and got it imported. The 4" Super AMOLED screen has better constrast ratio and response tim

exactly. Google always has great engineering, but poor customer service. I dread the day I can't get into my Gmail account... They work as autonomously as possible, and don't like stepping on peoples toes. The Marketplace needs some strictn

Given the openness of android, can we make our own 'better android market' application + website? May not be worth the time investment given most people would use the market anyway, but might make Google wake up...

yeah this really sucks. Just got my first Android Phone, and am keen on getting stuck into developing for it, but I am Australian, so I'll have to go around the long way. If Google wants to catch up to iPhone in terms of apps available, it

Hi Jason, Great post, but just thought I'd mention I went searching for the RSS button on your site and couldn't find it anywhere (in fact, I subscribed to the comments on that post in my reader before I realized it was the wrong feed). I c

What city are you in? I'm in Brisbane and a lot of your post reminded me of myself (I'm 21). However I am studying part time whilst working as a programmer. Let me know if you are in Brisbane, there has been a couple of opportunities for va

“We did not enter the search business. They entered the phone business." They aren't selling the operating system are they? therefore really the business is advertising, as it has always been with Google, and Apple has just entered that bus

would be interesting to compare to the Samsung Galaxy S (android phone) which has a 4" super amoled screen, Samsung claims theirs is better as contrast ratios etc are more important than the extra few pixels, but then again, of course they

I was about to post this. Alienate users for 1 day by showing them how crap backgrounds can be, everyone hates it (even if just on principle) and then if they ever visit Bing they'll say 'this is like the day that Google went crap', negativ

Shift + Delete is my favourite. It cuts the current line, which I use as an easy way to delete a whole line at a time.

I don't know much about the project itself, but wouldn't web-kit have received contributions from outside of Apple aswell? (perhaps only since 2005 when it was open sourced though)
