Possibly but doubt it. Not enough of a major selling point. My guess is multi user support and not just for iPads, iPhones but also for the upcoming Apple TV remote. It would be integrated either into the home button or possibly a swipe up

Exactly. Which is why the US and EU governments are fighting against Google, Samsung and HTC who are abusing FRAND obligations and undermining the concept of standards.

Google is a few years too late with VP8. It would have had an opportunity to take off when H.264 was in its infancy. But now there is simply no use for it.

IIRC the PowerVR GPU inside all the iOS devices already support hardware VP8 encoding/decoding. Apple just has no inclination to support it. And why would they ? VP8 is significantly worse than H.264 in every important way (quality, compati

Depends at what level. Dedicated isn't too bad and there are some VPS providers who have reasonable prices e.g. http://www.mammothvps.com.au/home/index If Amazon EC2 does come to Sydney as expected then I would expect a bit of a shakeup o

You shouldn't be a happy Linode customer. They still haven't owned up to what happened during that Bitcoin incident and what they've done to stop it happening again. Major security incidents DEMAND transparency e.g. look how professional Cl

Depends on the database. I know CouchDB and MongoDB both make it pretty easy to add Solr/ElasticSearch into the equation.

So what you're saying is that all of the engineers at DBAs are sitting around going "Oh we just lost another user's Facebook page. No worries. They can just create another one." Do you not think they would've switched databases already if t

It is powering the core function of the sites i.e. it is the primary databases in all cases. I am sorry but are you that deluded as to think so many of the world's leading IT companies are going to choose a database that silently loses data

But yet every major website chooses MySQL over PostgreSQL. Why is that ?

So does Twitter, Flickr, Yahoo, Wikipedia, Craigslist, LinkedIn etc. And I would imagine that most of those wouldn't tolerate any issues with data integrity.

Depends on who you are collaborating with. Asana internally, Basecamp when dealing with external clients and Phabricator is cool within dev teams. Trello needs a UI designer and Atlassian is pretty horrendous for anything other than the lar

And what's great is that since Apple has handed over responsibility of OSX Java over to Oracle it means everyone can start to use the 1.8 features. Feels like everyone has been stuck on 1.5/1.6 for too long.

And some people might not like to hear it but Oracle has really provided a new injection of excitement in the JVM with their G1 GC and JRockit additions. And with clarity around the future roadmap and the ever growing list of non-Java langu

Based on what we've seen from Facebook, Twitter, Google etc they will likely do it on their own. As we've seen with the various Memcache and MySQL implementations often tradeoffs are made in favour of performance and scalability.

1) Is this agreement verbal or on paper ? 2) If you can do the technical bits then do it by yourself. Then once you have it all finished you will be the one the VCs will be chasing. 3) I don't know anybody who does consulting/freelancing in

But what happens with copyright ? In a legal fight surely both parties will have ownership to parts of the code. Either way get your house in order just in case. Make sure commit logs and history etc is up to date and backed up. Use Github

This is Samsung's raison d'être. They've been doing this with the Japanese companies (Sony, Panasonic, Sharp) for years now and have now set their sights on Apple. It's a bad reflection on South Korea itself as between Samsung, Hyundai and

I take it you've never used XCode or Eclipse. If you did you would know that they are world's apart as far as IDEs are concerned.

Just went all the previous QT Designer screenshots in Google Images. And not a single one looks similar to either Xcode or the Samsung IDE. And the court nonsense is still news because the case isn't over yet and this is demonstrating a pat

No offence but I don't think the government could possibly care less about you or the conversation with your mother. There is a long list of far more important and interesting people for them to worry about. How about using whatever is the

Chrome + Firefox are around 60% of current browser installations and both currently self-update so that is likely where he got that figure. It does neglect to mention that not all Firefox browsers do self-update so that would need to be fac

Shame you were downvoted for expressing a legitimate point. Microsoft is charging $1 to $5 for I believe only 2 patents (FAT and Calendar event creation). And they in the eyes of the user (based on the research) aren't as 'valuable' as the

What ? Nowhere in the article did it imply that. It meant some of the implementations of those rely on Apple innovations i.e. patents. Which given how old Apple is, all of the patent acquisitions along the way and some pretty innovative wor
