Actually, MIT solved the storage problem 2 years ago. It's just got to make it's way to market: http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2008/oxygen-0731.html

Given how many companies have worked on the game and the engine changes and just the sheer amount of turnover in that 15 year time frame, I think they need to point this out. When you start with one set of people making the game and end w

There were only 2 No's. One from Daniel Glazman of Mozilla, and one from Julian Reschke, who doesn't appear to be associated with any browser vendors. Abstains came from Antonio Tapiador a Ph.D student, Danny Ayers of Talis, and Karl Dubost

These guys spammed the contact form on my company's website. For that reason, I'm never going to use them.

http://www.subsonic.org/pages/index.jsp Has Android and iOS clients, and is also accessible via the web. It's not as clean and polished as I'd like, but it works reliably enough for my tastes and is fully open sourced.

Funny thing is Google does actually pay for reported security bugs. Up to $3133.70: http://dev.chromium.org/Home/chromium-security/vulnerability...

FWIW, they do own colour.com too.

I think that's just a case of one arm of the octopus (PR) being faster and better at their job than another arm (copyright and trademark violations). It doesn't mean the process isn't still broken, but I doubt their PR team is hooked up to

And from 4 days ago: http://ejohn.org/blog/pulley/ All that hard work for nothing. Damn, another company listening to the needs of their users. What are they thinking...

Simple, but highly functional. That's the right way to do it. Any chance we could get some other regions in there too?

I think the biggest gain with Aperture was speed. 2 was sloooooow. 3 still isn't the best, but it's much, much faster than 2.

It's kind of funny to see a somewhat iMovie-esque interface. There's an unwritten UI law that if it's more complex, with more knobs and buttons, it must be more "professional". Learning that complexity is a badge of honor that you have to e

You can see artifacting in the viewer and a ton of bandwidth usage, so it appears to be VNC to a system actually running the iPhone simulator.

Those are paid app revenues only, though. Because of Google's focus on advertising, that's becoming a very viable alternative method of revenue for app producers. Look at Angry Birds, who is bringing $1m per month on Android [1] and doesn't

Create some litmus test apps, then. Put up a "Christian Cure" and "Muslim Cure" app and see if they get taken down or rejected. It would be interesting to see the results.

This includes their "TouchWiz" UI customizations, so there's definitely the chance for them to make some money from the software side of things or cross-promote more profitable products. Example: Functionality could be bundled in that pushe

Android does a lot more reflows than iOS. iOS zooms by first scaling a raster image of the page and then reflowing after a brief delay of user input. That kind of resize is very fast, whereas a full HTML document reflow is slow.

What Sony's trying to do is locate jurisdiction in the location where the data ends up. So, it would be irrelevant as to where it came from. You could host in Iran and they would still attempt to show it being under a CA court.

If the design is optional, why does Reddit have an 80k CSS file and Craigslist have a 14k one? (Admittedly, HN has a very tiny amount of design). Design isn't necessarily about embellishment, but aesthetic choices. Good typography and color

I spent $3000 on the laptop I'm using, and these tablets are positioned to replace it. I think it's a good deal at any sub-$1000 price, even if it's not quite as absolutely powerful in the areas I'm used to having power.

You didn't buy a phone from Google, you bought it from HTC (I assume this is the Nexus One, the same as I have) with heavy Google branding on it. If you want to get hardware support, you'll go through HTC directly. Learn your lesson that HT
