Even if you break out Samsung, Motorola, HTC, etc. you will still have the same problem within each manufacturer's lineup. Comparing individual phone models is logical but nobody does it for some reason. It seems that people always want to

No wonder that MS mouse felt so strange. I couldn't use the thing and instead bought a trackpad.

What about Ruby and Perl and their ability to shell out as easily as you do in a shell? (with backticks) You have a real language available with (arguably) fewer weird things and warts to be aware of or remember, better string manipulations

I use TextMate day to day. If I'm not on OS X I use Emacs for making software, and sometimes I use Emacs on OS X. It's great for JavaScript. Though vim is no longer my main editor I still use it every day. Right tool for the job and all tha

I'm sure some people will find this useful, but it seems to be the way I already use email. I don't have to deal with a lot of email so maybe this has more use for those who do. If it's in my inbox it needs my attention. If not it's archive

Not my first GUI code. I've done lots of web development in the past 15 years. Front and back. I've written an OS X app, several iOS apps including some universal ones, a few Android apps, a few webOS apps, and one Windows Phone 7 app. In a

A couple of months ago I was looking at Flex. It's a complete nightmare to try and play around with. I downloaded the SDK and tried to make some kind of hello world thing but just trying to make a module with a single function and then call

The way this article is written and the way they use the word "fanboy" highlights their bias much more than anyone else's. They have the makings of an interesting article, but instead of writing an interesting story or adding any insight th

Do they have a home button? I'm sure the answer varies but in general you need the hardware and software to agree on some things. That is my point. Even if the software is flexible such as Android 4 that will display the buttons if necessar

People have hacked iPads and iPhones to run Android. And nobody actually uses it because there is no hardware back button, etc. When hardware and software are a cohesive unit it's hard to run something generic on the hardware, or run the so

Funny anecdote, but does "hot swap" necessarily mean "yank out without warning"? My understanding is that you might need to tell the kernel that you are going to yank out a component before doing so. Similarly after adding in a component yo

That depends on the language support for the editor in question. Emacs can check C and related languages on the fly with flymake. Emacs can also check JavaScript on the fly with js2-mode. Editors such as BBEdit and TextMate cannot do that a

I like vim, use it daily for editing configs and such, and used to use gvim as my main text editor. Its ubiquity or usefulness is not disputed by anyone. I don't think that modes are stupid (though I don't prefer modes myself). However, whe
