I love how this is progressing. One bit of feedback, I would love to see more legitimately "tiny" projects become available-- most of those sent out every week are $500-$2000 and require multiple week commitments. If there's a market for sm

Apple doesn't ignore security, they advertise security enhancements in their products: "Address space layout randomization (ASLR) has been improved for all applications. It is now available for 32-bit apps (as are heap memory protections),

I wonder if there was maybe some foresight in him having an official biography approved shortly before he stepped down as CEO.

The quality of published apps on WebOS is questionable (there are probably both great and very poor developers out of those 1,000). What Microsoft is telling people, in contrast to HP, is that they are not intending on abandoning their phon

And so Microsoft learns the same lesson HP did: It's easy to get people to go to your platform when you practically give hardware away.

I was. Are you still planning on getting a Pre3 in spite of the announcement? I could deal with a smaller number of apps; but now I'm worried there simply won't be any apps at all for the ecosystem.

I'm still impressed that neither blog post by This addressed why Boris' account was seemingly baselessly suspended (which ultimately led to the Go Fuck Yourself comment), since all he did was inquire about the PayPal dispute. The revising o

Just to be clear, these are User Accounts for apps built for Android using Parse, akin to iOS's single sign-in using Twitter? I was anticipating someone had built multiple user logins for Android devices, which would've also been fascinatin

Seriously. Google culturally is very pro-Java, and decided to bring that to their new mobile platform, without the legacy baggage of J2ME. It was an engineering decision as much as it was against licensing Sun IP, maybe in light of how poor

Thank you. I'm a habitual soda drinker, and I realized that after giving up caffeine (several times) it's really the taste of soda that brings me back; aka, getting my sugar fix throughout the day. I'm working on addressing this now even as

This, along with Chrome Web Store, are the first major deviances from Chrome the HTML5 browser into Chrome the platform. It's exciting but also unfortunate that we're starting to see a divergence here, when other browsers are unlikely to pi

Seems like it would simply delay the issue, being, once you've gotten an overly broad and generic patent through the system (however long it took) you can wield that weapon pretty broadly. Reduce the length of time the patent is valid or re

This is according to StatCounter: "StatCounter is listing Chrome at 21.41% and Safari at 5.86% market share, which adds up to 27.27% combined share." Note this means Chrome+Safari > Firefox, not Chrome or Safari individually. IE and Fir

Extra features can hurt if there's no clear direction for developers. When do you use the touch UI, and when do you revert to the Windows 7 UI? Does it depend on the complexity of the application? Will Office switch over to the Metro UI? An

Pre-Windows 8 apps won't fit into the new Windows 8 model without being rewritten for new APIs/style. If we assume Windows compatibility is then no longer what drives Os marketshare for PCs (a big leap, but one Microsoft seems to be making)

Email sent; I'll be happy to provide logging information where I can. For the record, this may reflect my particular Ubuntu installation, or my room's ethernet port, as no other students have had this problem. Good to know I'm an edge case

Advanced 3D in Flash has been an attractive idea for some time. I'm surprised Adobe didn't release this earlier in advance of WebGL as a possible competitor.
