Recently, they have been updating parts of Android through their Google Play Services app. I don't know enough about Android development to know if this webview is used much in the framework of the OS (especially with the new 4.4 out),

The main advantage is that PNG compression allows for 8-bit transparency, rather than 1-bit transparency in the GIF format. This means that you can have partial or gradated transparency that looks nice when placed on top of other background

From what I understand, the "unlocking" that is currently illegal is unlocking from you carrier, not unlocking a bootloader. Furthermore, these are Nexus devices (development devices) that have no extra protection or encryption on the bootl

Inspiration exists and it will often only come when I am am not working. The catch, is that I have to have already done my work. There is a point at which I know that I need to stop working and give my mind a break. During that break, all o

I agree that we need to keep contrast in mind when designing, but too much contrast can be just as hard on the eyes. That cream on black text hurts my eyes more than most of the low-contrast sites that it highlights. Furthermore, putting sh

I recently lost my extended backup battery and have certainly had battery drain issues. I was thinking that I might steal this guys idea: http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc6/201097_1015128278... from this post: http://www.reddit.

My guess is that they have made this into a fun way to get us to send them maps data. We are giving them route data in places that street-view cars cannot access. Players can also submit new portals with geotagged photos, which could help m

A friend and I have really been enjoying this game. There is a good bit of strategy in active cities with how links are made and blocked for other teams. The community is certainly a huge portion, because you really do have to coordinate wi

Recently, my parents went on a trip to London. Before they returned, I received a Google Now card with their flight information and estimated time of arrival. I am not sure if they gathered this info from email or sms. It was somewhat creep

Just because the site is simple in design, doesn't mean that it is built to be used efficiently. Craigslist, as is, is a usability nightmare. When I use the site, I am using it with various Greasemonkey scripts, Firefox extensions and 3rd p

In terms of body text, typography isn't meant to attract much attention. The common reader shouldn't notice subtle differences. Bad typography is easily noticed and feels wrong. Good typography communicates as it should and doesn't command

I agree that these mocks seem to waste space. I much prefer a more compact design. In these mocks, only the active tab actually looks like a tab. The other tabs visually communicate that they are another interface element all together. I wo
