Not only is it more expensive, it has a lower resolution and a larger screen - for lower pixel density. They then compare it to a Nexus 7, saying the iPad mini has more resolution and viewing area... 1064x768 is in no way more than 1280x8

Has anyone built something that illustrates Dart's features or made a neat web app with it? Can it handle graceful degradation from running in a browser which natively supports Dart to a browser which requires JS compilation?

I'm not a fan of the threads program either. It is too easy to not learn any 'hardcore' CS with it. I took Devices and Information Internetworks. Doing some like Media and People (very popular for reasons to be mentioned), you didn't have t

Children of the Mind is on there but none of the previous Ender Game series? I would say include all of the previous, but stop at CotM.

The fact that there was a 1984-esque commercial from Apple and Steve Jobs had the characteristics of Big Brother and the Ministry of Truth is intriguing.

One I just noticed with the NS4G: there is no documentation on how to get to Google Now, they talk about the Galaxy Nexus, but never mention its predecessor. How do you get to it? The search button... swiping up does not work whatsoever. An

I love this, even if you aren't a huge fan of games, it's a great way to donate to EFF and Child's Play and get free games.

Sure, it isn't really that bad - mostly the same boilerplate repeated _ad nauseum_. They are being sued by two patent troll LLC's in the Eastern District of Texas. The patents (9) are very generic sounding: * Data Processing System Using Su

I am an gnostic atheist, I don't believe in any god and I feel that there is enough proof to show that gods do not exist. Also, (a)gnostic and (a)theist are not a sliding scale, they are more akin to x,y coordinates on a graph: http://free

I am interested in this; however, the section for differences from Arduino is very short and not convincing. The kickstarter page should have more tech details to convince me; for example: I had to go the product webpage to see what the dev

It explicitly states on their content guidelines page they do not accept content publicly accessible from the web. Otherwise people could just publish Wikipedia pages. The author should check the guidelines before going on accusatory rants.

The author doesn't seem to know what he wants. He complains about ePub using technology that is fourteen years old (which works fine) and then touts a 'no frills PDF' as the solution for a linear fiction novel. A novel doesn't need anything

Before I can even test it out, it asks for Google account permissions - and that's where I stopped. Don't ask for permissions before I can even play with it.

You do realize that the Kindle and the Kindle Fire are two completely different products right? Are you talking about them crippling e-ink Kindles? Because if so, you are blatantly wrong - the newer versions are faster, crisper, lighter, be

One thing to note: Maybe you should explain the first element of an array having the same memory address as the actual array a little bit more, and relate it to why array indexing is 0-based too - the index is that many offsets from the beg

Unfortunately, you cannot load Dojo with other AMD loaders. It has shims and features within its dojo.js that prevent's other loaders from being able to use it; dojo can load other AMD modules but not vice-versa. Also, the comparison of FF/

I recently did a project using Dojo (1.7) and my coworker told me that it 'lost the war' against jQuery. Having worked with it, the documentation was absolutely horrid (which they no claim to have somewhat resolved). As for popularity, it i
