I'm not sure if HP is trying to sell Palm/their mobile division or not, but they should. They've just pushed out all of their WebOS devices into the market (at a big loss), so now people are actually using their OS, which makes it much more

I think the point to take away from this is that the similarities in design between the iPhone/iPad and their competitors has a lot to do with the fact that really all they are is 1 big screen, and their current designs are the logical desi

nice, I'd heard a few people mention this idea in the past but never went through on it - good on you.

IMO It's a chicken and egg situation, developers will go where the users are. I think Nokias brand name will generate a decent bump in sales, enough to get apps flowing through. As long as the major apps are in the store, the average user w

Wait until Nokia gets WP7 phones out there, then we'll really see whether it'll be the 3rd player or not.

I'd be interested to see stats of how many people actually finish it. Seeing as its free its easy to say 'yeah ill do it' and then not find the time.

What if you had a cubicle layout, but each of the walls could be slid up or down. So it converts between open plan and concentration cubicle mode? Having the walls up implies you are deep in concentration so people shouldn't disturb you. Th

Saying he wasn't affiliated with Starbucks was dishonest (if indeed he was working for them, which I don't think this article really proves), but really does it matter that much? We were all interested in the experiment, can't we applaud so

I like the idea, definitely need a Windows client though. I think you should also release pricing pretty soon, I don't want to go through the effort of uploading photos if its going to be very expensive all of a sudden. I'd also like to poi

When I signed up and first arrived at the get started page that list of steps freaked me out a bit. I thought 'what the hell I have to do all this just to send a file?' I soon realized these were just ways I could get more quota, but perhap

yeah but the problem he is having is that you'd need to have different a different method signature for each of these otherwise it won't compile, and he wants to have the same path/parameters for each, which is why you need to rename your m

You can't have functions with the same parameters, but ASP.NET MVC gives you a way around this using attributes. See this SO question. http://goo.gl/wJ4jE Does that solve what you were talking about?
