If they do, that would go a long way to convincing me this is a tidbit more secure than any other random Android device. They should really have released their code at the same time they released their phone though.

The smorgasbord of languages and cultures makes it harder to target though. But German, French and Spanish markets are big in their own right, especially if you consider you can reach other territories with them as well. (Austria, Switzerla

Minitel adoption was never as big as with the current Internet, and users didn't suddenly migrate from one to the other. Minitel mostly bled to death as the Internet grew in popularity.

No, but it is not uncommon for J2ME apps to have a different package for certain vendors, or even for specific series or models of certain vendors. Those packages often utilize vendor-specific APIs or work around limitations or quirks in th

Background notifications too? I'm surprised - I wrote a Twitter client in 2009, and I couldn't find a way to make that work. I didn't think J2ME could do that at all, to be honest.

Exactly. I was expecting to read about the rising costs of developing quality AAA games and how even well received games failed to recoup their cost. Instead, I read a story of a guy who wants to do something else, and decided that the best

Rating your happiness from 1 to 10 would make it easy for the scale to drift. How do you compare how you felt today to how you felt 8 months back, the last time you issued a 10? I think comparing with yesterday is a great way to do this: I

I was a fan of Apple products (in the late PowerPC days), but eventually gave up on them after countless of small roadblocks caused by their business practices. I told myself I'd never vote for them with my wallet again. On of the issu

I was thinking something similar. 3 months partial pay also seems better than I would have expected in India. This makes me wonder, is this the first significant downsizing they experience in Bangalore? Did they think they were invulnerable

low social oversight and regulations result in easily attracting jobs and fewer protection when jobs need to be cut. On a downhill slope, it's much simpler and cheaper to cut jobs in developing economies, precisely for the same reasons

I looked at getting one of these for the holidays, but it seems they're not held firmly into your ears during swimming sessions, according to reviews. Nice marketing though.

Perhaps, but the engine seems robust and well made, and is available with very permissive licensing and works on all major platforms. Should it really matter who the primary sponsor of the framework is?

I've done a little toying around with GamePlay3D, and I must say it's a nice engine, with a clean API and it's relatively easy to get started with it and get some results early on. I'm actually rather disappointed almost

I'm not sure you noticed, but this doesn't affect any popular distro. It only affects the kernels build with the X32 ABI, which is not used in production by anyone as far as I can tell. So the fact that you're running old ker

I understand where your coming from. For me, the selling point of Dylan is that it gives me many of the things I like from dynamic languages, like Ruby, but also gives me static typing (and type inference), relatively high performance and a

It's also pretty rampant in the US and in Europe. The odds of being hired when you have an Arab name in Western Europe is frightening, regardless of qualifications. For the US, just look at the ethnic distribution of death row inmates.
