There's been discussion of the uptime claim and its relevance to users; however, I know the it to be completely untrue. Users having to restart their blackberry in order to restore messaging, for example, is not at all uncommon.

Great analysis which is the first I've seen to come up with a reasonable explanation for the existence of this file. Caching this data is a logical method by which to speed up location lookups. However, there's no reason why this data shou

This is a great article, but the conclusion is flawed in that high point for Nokia was not the Nokia 2110! It was instead Series60 third edition, which included a WebKit browser and SIP support in 2006. Afterwards, nothing happened... it wa

This article is ridiculous because the author does not address the fact that volume will increase dramatically: a $3 app on the Mac app store will undoubtedly sell many times, perhaps 10+ x, more than the app distributed on a CD/DVD via Ama
