It's really no where near as simple as that, not even close. There is lots of politics, and red tape to keep in mind as well that has to be overcome before they can even think about Android, let alone delivering on it. Getting rid of Elop,

Agreed, pretty much every "average" developer I've worked with, has been average because of a lack of motivation, or interest in pushing themselves, not because of a lack of following a list of steps posted on some website that somehow make

"Because Dex relies on heuristics that don’t take your data into account" So if you do take your data into account and create indexes accordingly and have a solid non-changing schema, is there any benefits in using dex? Is it smart enough t

The guy just jumped on the bandwagon without having a clue. Just reading this blog - it's clear that MongoDB was not a good fit for him, if he had bothered to do some research, he would have found this out on day one. Thats the real lesson

In most cases this event wouldn't be too useful because: a) More often than not, these errors are caused by objects which could not be removed by the Garbage Collector because they are still within an active scope, so by definition the obje

Thanks, I just read that article. 2 years for that? Thats embarrassing as hell, I can see why he is lying through his teeth and deferring the blame. It seems that every time Zuckerberg talks, he's just more and more full of shit, can't say

There are many different levels of intellectual intelligence. As a result of this not everyone can be a programmer, just as everyone can't be a rocket scientist or a microbiologist either.

While I do agree with what your saying about WHQL licensed machines, it doesn't mean the problem goes away, it just means the problem is less likely to happen, your still at the whim of all the other weird and wonderful behaviour that can c

Very well said, in my experiences with building mobile apps that HAD to perform at close to native speeds with HTML/CSS/JS and Nitro/PhoneGap this is exactly how you need to treat the mobile web if you want things to perform. You really c

I prefer the node.js example given over the Go example. Sure, the go example is shorter, but the JavaScript version reads much nicer (at least to me).

I think HP rebounding from the Palm "incident" and somehow still managing to release a hit smartphone would be more miraculous then Apple rising from the Ashes. I look forward to seeing what happens, but I'm very skeptical that a company su
