I happen to disagree. It gives the iluusion of being faster because it scrolls faster than other browsers. This is because it scrolls more . More than other browsers. More than other applications or what is considered the platform defaul

I like many others downloaded it to try it out. I'm back in Firefox now because there are simply too many lackings with Chrome, and I'm not even considering extensions yet. So if I'm counted in those stats, I want out.

Its scrolling, both for page-up/down, scroll-wheels and touchpads seems to be set about 3-4x more sensitive than in other browsers or applications in general. This gives it a nice illusion of speed, but it gets annoying pretty fast once you

Copy-paste of my reddit response. Not saying it's all bad, and I realize this is a first release, but if Google wants to avoid the "MS Vista" stamp when it comes to software-making they might consider fixing up the following points: 1. Down

The internet was supposed to provide redundant routes between points. Increasingly due to financial reasons people have moved away from that model, since building redundancy typically costs money, and 99.9% of the time the lack of redundanc

Not debating that, but without the AppStore- only solution people still enjoying the game would be able to distribute it to friends and what not without having to deal with the Tetris company. When the AppStore is the only way to get appli

My honest opinion, and this is about the idea , not the implementation. If you need the relationship advice from the internet , the god damn internet damnit , it's long past time to finish it off.

Not sure if that's the case or not, but while he complains about SQL Server's default locking strategies, it doesn't seem like he has tried running his queries using any non-default ones. In the end he goes with read comitted snapshot isola

That AppStore besides being a single point of entry for developers, also sure seems to be the single point of failure, single point of getting booted, not to mention now also a handy single point of litigation for those into that game. Excu

That still only transfers to a market where people are used to lockins. In Europe the Apple iPhone lockins make it a lot less sexy. I'm not saying it's a phone which can be ignored entirely, but the truth is that I still see Windows Mobil

I must admit when Microsoft first introduced the .NET Framework and called .NET-code "language independent", I thought it was a bit of a grand statement and chuckled away, since that pretty much involved C# and Visual Basic .NET. Right no

You are comparing VS6 to something current, which is not fair. Lots of these hitches you've had (which I don't doubt, since I've been forced to deal with some old VB6 projects) has been fixed long time ago. I'm not saying Visual Studio 2008

Expand your horizons a little. Learn to use Vim or Emacs, then spend a year doing serious development in something like Ruby instead of C# or Java, and do it in a Unix-like user environment. So does the author suggest anyone working with
