WHALESALAD! You had a blog post on your old old old Wordpress blog about setting up an SSH tunnel[1]. Honestly, you're the person who first introduced me to the whole concepts, and who's site I would keep referring back to! Funny to see you

From what I understand In-app purchases (where Apple gets a 30% cut) are only required when the item is only for use from within the app (virtual currency, level packs, digital subscription etc). Purchasing a physical items does not require

I've always wanted to know about the 'international version' of Eftpos. A lot of internationals get confused at our Cheque/Savings/Credit. Also, the large majority of banks offer Mastercard/Visa debit cards where even though you press 'Cred

My best guess is that it is using the Siri keyboard speed-to-text feature and the app just does its own interpretation on the text?

See Facetime and iMessage. If Facetime worked for just voice calls, and over 3G, everything would be perfect.

Wow, that sure is a generous offer. I've started watching the Stanford iOS class on iTunes U, however I've found that it relies on a bit of OO knowledge. I've quite a lot of experience with Python/Django and Web dev, so I'm familiar with ho

This is the first 'x written in HTML5' project that I have been actually amazed by. I spent countless hours in JCS modifying the shipped levels to add all sorts of 'secret bases' taking advantage of bugs and glitches. I remember the online

> But your implication that Android isn't open source is a bit silly. I'm don't think anyone is arguing this fact. Android, generally, isn't 'open' in the sense that it is totally controlled by the carriers.

> Ah, a dumb pipe carrier. Why hasn't one materialized already? I was saying that it was inevitable at least a decade ago. Plenty have materialised. Just not in the US. The three carriers in Aus are pretty much dumb pipes.

In this instance it wouldn't look ugly as they are just three different results that could show up in the search.

In my experience, yes. I a lot of people I work with (shifty at KFC) and live in my dorm get more excited about the Galaxy as apposed to the iPhone. Those who have the GS2 love and live by it.

My guess is a 'new device'. If the only difference between that and the iPhone 4S is a larger screen and designed exterior, then so be it.

Just playing devils advocate here... how complex is the home button? Clicking it does one thing: takes you to the first page of the home screen. If you're already there, it takes you to Spotlight. Double clicking it pops up the multitasker.

I think it comes down to the fact that although Android has more features, it arguable lacks the level of polish that iOS has. Windows Phone 7 has less features than Android (and iOS?), but is way more polished and 'pretty'

But 'regular' people are loving the Galaxy S 2, I guess because of it's large and vibrant screen, and it's thinner (to hold) compared to the iPhone 4[1]. I really like the Galaxy S 2 and I wish so hard that Android was actually polished to

I think we are arguing the same point: the iPhone 4S is a great product and does have solid improvements. I am not disappointed with the 4S, but it is apparently clear that a few vocal people are. Why are they disappointed? I can only guess

It's 'disappointing' in the sense that, although it is more powerful and arguably better than the previous generation, people were wanting more substantial improvements.

And then there are hybrids, like paying the phone off over the life of the contract as an additional cost. Sometimes telcos (such as Telstra) will 'pitch in' and pay some of your repayments for you.
