That's hilarious. Columbo was my grandfather's favorite show on Hungarian TV back in the day. Every episode was absolutely perfectly lip synced - you couldn't even tell that Hungarian wasn't the original language.

Very cool. I'd add the ability to locate the nearest embassy/consulate based on GeoLocation.

Anecdotal evidence. 2 out of three people who initially installed Mailbox and waited in line with me have gone back to the regular Mail app. I am likely to do so as well soon. Why? While Mailbox is nice, it only adds a single feature: t

They should be, but they are not. And don't get me started on the ensuing hell if you are trying to share your desktop via WebEx or Lync. My favorite exchange at the meeting couple of weeks ago (with a remote sales rep). Meeting organizer:

I am gonna go against the grain here and agree with Marissa. A situation where you have a couple of people that are remote (while everyone else is in the office) creates all kinds of issues. For instance, at a meeting 20 people have to wa

Like others said, an old post. To be sure, he is testing the SPDY speed from a client to a SPDY proxy that then connects to a real HTTP site. It makes no sense to correlate these results with real SPDY web servers serving real traffic.

I am going to go against the grain here and say that what Steve Jobs is asking (e.g. stop direct recruitment of Apple employees) is not unreasonable. Microsoft's continued poaching of Borland employees brought about the demise of the compan

Siri is pretty great at the domain I use it on (directions, alerts, reminders, etc...) . Google Voice Search is not even close. Not quite sure why you'd want to replace it.

This is a great point. We (developers) always think in terms of the box we locked ourselves into. Advice similar to yours helped me rethink my marketing message once upon a time and the results were pretty darn good.

I use PACER all the time and I really appreciate the fact that it's really simple, even if it looks like I am browsing in Netscape Navigator. The point of PACER is to get to documents quickly, which it does very well.

Ford has offered this type of functionality (read-only, of course) for the last 15 years at least. They had at that time a parallel cable (remember those printers) interface to their engine that would let you get all kinds of information.

Depends on the packet size. With 64k packets, you can easily approach 800M. But, yes, default packet of 8k will yield 480M at best.

MS is definitely confusing the market. Their ARM offering should be for tablets only and shouldn't be called Windows RT or Windows anything else. It should have been called Metro OS or some such. It shouldn't have included desktop mode,

For me, the missing piece in Google Maps is that it does not integrate with my contacts. Most of my searches are based on contacts. Probably coming in v2. Otherwise pretty solid.

Same, here. I'd eat it up at $99.

Google Desktop (while it was still alive) was also spying on users in the same manner as you described above. I am not clear why there was no uproar about that? http://angryhacker.com/blog/archive/0001/01/01/google-and-pr...

If that was the case you could run Mono/.NET code without pre-JITting it. And that is not the case.

I think the G120 and/or G120HDR boards are so much better. Much faster, a ton more memory, full tcp stack and you get to program in a high level language: C#. This also means that there are a ton of libraries, should you need any. And th

Do you have a blog with your progress? I am trying to do something similar. So far I got RaspBMC installed and AirPlay for photos and audio works great (not so much with videos so far). I love it that I can turn on the music real loud in t

Allow me to pimp my own small web server, built in 25k of RAM on top of the .NET Micro Framework. I put it in a robot so that I could control it from Safari on my iPhone. The web server serves a JS-heavy page which sends REST-like commands

Thanks. I love the new maps too. The step by step audio cues and especially visuals are delightful and feels right. The only missing use case for me is street view. I've used it extensively in the past to look at houses when I was home s

I remember installing it for the first time and it felt just right. The other browsers at the time (Mozilla Suite, Netscape 6.x, IE) just felt so bulky. You could tell right away that this software was going to go places.

I agree. I used it on the way home with the step by step directions and it was pretty nice and right on the spot. The graphics are also very pleasant and the visual cues are easy to grok. The only thing I miss is street view. But I doubt

You are asking Siri to work when there are kids around (e.g. other people are speaking)??? Well, no wonder, it doesn't work for you. I run a couple of times a week and even then it works very nicely (e.g. a lot of ambient noise). I also h

Are you kidding? I use Siri every single solitary day. I use it to create reminders, I use it to dictate text messages, I use it to schedule appointments and find a local sandwich shop that delivers. Siri was one thing from iOS5 that act
