Crosspost of my post on reddit on why these analyses are flawed (from http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/hu4l1/apples_ime... ): SMS is "expensive" anywhere in the world when counting $s/byte, it's not just the US. The reason is t

Might just be me, but with Google opening and closing invitations like this all the time, it's not even "like Gmail all over again". It's much worse. With Google creating this much artificial scarcity to bring buzz, demand and publicity, th

When you can rewrite your bootloader from the web, I think it's safe to say there is a nasty browser & userland exploit out there for all iPads. Just like rooting an Android-phone without adb or pre-rooted images usually involves OS-lev

Or someone NOT GOOGLE could decide to do things the right way, and GOOGLE could run just a subset of the internet instead of the whole damn thing and every single service every internet-user used. I'm not sure why you guys are always asking

Boohoo. FTP is by design an insecure and overly complex protocol, and any firewall-admins nightmare to handle. Anyone using FTP in this time and age should be prepared for pain. That the pain is now related to a bug in a software-implementa

There has been several, but I've been back on the FF-wagon for a while now and it's hard to remember them all. Examples of things which did seriously annoy me: URL protocol-obfuscating. Besides being an aesthetic nitpick (lack of consistenc

By now most of the early adopters of Firefox have moved over to Chrome I'm experiencing the opposite. Google's handling of what used to be a good browser has provoked me to the point that I do not feel comfortable using Chrome. I've moved

Seriously? That's a killer for me then. I'd have to get a new email out there for people to add. Just to use a new social platform from Google. Because I'm using Google's email-plkatform. This doesn't make any fucking sense. As usual I migh

It has the same buzz and expectation as Google Wave too. I can control my anticipation.

Really. Mentioning model number wouldn't really be much use, but here is what I have now: A Dell Studio XPS Laptop with 256GB SSD, 4GB ram, 2.4GHz Core i5 dual-core CPU, 15.6" 1920x1080 LED display, built-in bluetooth, 802.11n wifi and the

Except Apple is a hardware-company who wants you to buy a Mac and will use every occasion they can find to try to push you towards that goal. They once almost had me, but when I found that the MBP with "similar" specs to my Dell (half-size

You can probably hack the extension to support FF5. There haven't been too many changes that should affect this. And hence the stupidity in adopting Chrome-style meaningless major version-numbers when what is released is only a minor upda

As an Android-user, web-apps which seems made to mimick the iPhone-look really turns me off (and I say that as a former iPhone-user). Aesthetic nitpicking aside, it doesn't work very well on my Samsung Galaxy S (GT-I9000, international mode

I'm not saying the product is bad, only that if it gets recognized or talked about as an "X killer" it will almost always fail deliver the specified "killing", and hence it's a "failure" in that regard. You also risk creating higher expecta

Everytime I see "GNU Screen killer", I think it has the same chance of surviving as "iPhone killers" or "iPod killers". It might be better, but being touted as something which will "kill" something established, it's almost always doomed to

The necessity of this, the price for which it is offered and all those other matters aside... Iirc if you run your own DNS-server/bind-instance (for DNS lookups, not just responding to internet DNS requests), you have a options file which c

Interesting how South America and Africa have absolutely zero traffic reported. I thought at least Africa, with it's shortage of IPv4 addresses, much like Asia, would have picked up on IPv6 to a larger extent than the "IPv4 wealthy" nations

There are neat implementations out there. I particularly like C#'s LInQ for XML. Lets you shred that (untyped) XML into strongly typed objects faster than you can say "wow that's declarative". If you have a typed format (i.e. XSD), there

I'm using Nimbuzz on my Android phone and it's fairly complete, bar Skype-support. I thought this was such a glaring omission, so I emailed them about it, wondering if it would be added. The response I got was that they previously did have

None of my extensions are broken or disabled so far. I can totally see your scepticism and where you are coming from though. With the update from FF3.x to FF4 it was all hell with extensions and it has been like that between previous major

If you have a modern OS ( anything newer Vista, be it Windows or not), it will. Saying Windows is insecure because a decade-old version of it didn't have rigths-elevation is pretty silly.

I would not say it's a limitation of CSS per se, more a limitation of what can be done with the spritemap CSS hack, because fundamentally that's what it is: A CSS hack to attempt to reduce page load-times by causing fewer HTTP requests.

Interesting perspective. I consider it UI noise/bloat and it has always annoyed me ever since it was pushed into the gmail UI. When I'm in my mail-client I want to do email and that's it, etc etc. I thought starting to aggressively add non-

I know absolutely nobody who uses Google Talk. Posting on Facebook "Does anyone here really use Google Talk?" there was a roaring silence in response. I can't for the life of me see why you would go from a minor evil service like Skype/MSN/

I think Apple is starting to lose the mobile war where they used to be kings. I don't think that telling people with the loyalty-handicap that their misplaced corporate loyalty is not a globally shared opinion nor truth qualifies as trollin

You realise that's a year before iPhone 1 was released My bad. So 4 years ago it was the best, despite lacking 3G. 4 years later and next to nothing has changed. I honestly think it warrants being labeled "dated". Untrue and inflamatory

Even now though, hold an iPhone 4 in one hand, and hold the Nexus S in the other. Both are fine, fast phones with a wide array of features... But one feels dated, awkward and like it belongs 5 years ago with some light finishing polish to

Serious question. Does Go really have anything unique going for it, apart from the fact that it comes from Google? I have yet to see a convincing argument why I should choose Google's little (and relatively immature) language over anything

As a iPhone-user gone Android, I can't wait to see all the awesome services which will be coming my way as Apple makes iOS an unfeasible platform to build on. So far their greed has been tolerated due to an early iOS lead on app-profitabili
