it's worth pointing out that not only does apple not have an app like this but they have actively prohibited anything like it. remember when they appealed to the education market?

it's not that hard to measure latency. point a video camera at the screen and measure how long it takes from click to completion of new screen load. then pick ten web pages and collect the data. then pick ten other common UI actions (not i

got anything quantitative to back that up? have you even run 2.2?

The only proper steps they need to take are to backup the situation before tossing the fraudster and his impact. That should just take a couple of hours.

Sure anyone can build a device with Android... what this tells us is that people are buying them. And that's news.

Matt is (was?) an engineering director -- that's mid level management. He's not writing code, he's running a team.

they look fuzzy compared to native resolution apps. apple has also, by denying the problem, failed to provide good APIs for multiresolution. android as faced and addressed the problem from the get-go and has a better solution.

Now that there are 3 different iphone resolutions, are we going to keep hearing about how bad fragmentation is?

this is not true. if a team is "hiring" you can transfer in, but the popular ones are full up, and getting in is very competitive. plus many teams are only in a particular office and if are not willing to move to it, then you are out of l

What's interesting here is they used a DMCA takedown, but gameplay cannot be copyrighted. Most of the clones did infringe on the "Tetris" trademark, but some did not.

can you provide references for #2?

by spot 16y ago
yea but most programs have some libraries. it seems unlikely that one entity will own all the code (unless you happen to be the FSF). unless the libraries are less-than GPL licensed and compatible with the App store terms, then you are st

frankly i don't care about hours of continuous use. what i care about is that i can look up a restaurant and read their hours and menu. it takes 2 minutes. the iphone can't do it.

i hope so and i think that's the kind of convergence he's talking about, being able to compile GWT to either target.
