For desktop browsers, use the Google CDN and your users probably won't download a thing. And Google is one step closer to tracking everything everyone does on every website. As if now forcing people to deploy Google Analytics on their web

I can get a twin-card for my phone so it's tied to the same subscription and I don't have an iPad. In that case, it makes very much sense to me to be able to use that twin SIM-card somewhere useful. It may not fit your needs, but in the par

Why not have everything as external dongles? How about an external soundcard? Or external wifi-module? External card-reader? External auxiliary videocard for hooking up external monitirs? There's a value in having stuff built in. Where do y

Will you be able to get a MBP with a builtin 3G-adapter yet? No? Ok, I'll just go back to Dell then. Edit: While my comment may come off trollish, this is a requirement for me when buying any mobile gear. That Apple still doesn't provide

Where in the link supplied is there any evidence that this is a bug in the file-format? Before you jump on the bandwagon of cheap Microsoft-stabs, at least do some basic critical reading of the source you are relying on.

As far as I see this, he admits the problem at the end: Microsoft Word is a Word Processing program, not a publishing program. You are not guaranteed to have your layout preserved when printing. This can be for a variety of reasons, but it

Yeah. And it was about 100MB, not 2GBs. Careful though: I managed to hose one of my Windows 7 VMs with the stock WU SP1 update. Do remember to take your snapshots. I didn't :(

The one biggest problem is Microsoft Office. I'd say Microsoft Office, everything else Microsoft which integrates seamlessly and most of all Active Directory. Getting anything equivalent to Active Directory up on Linux is an absolute nigh

It's a 10 year old OS with a 42% marketshare because Microsoft has been one of the better, if not the best company out there supporting their old products, much more so than Apple. Microsoft worked very hard to maintain backward compatibi

The point that it may be stagnant is well taken, which is why I said "reasonably successful" instead of "stomping everyone else into the ground". But irrelevant it is not. Fair enough. But if you look at how quickly Windows Mobile went fr

What problems can be solved with DI that can't be solved by passing a function? Any non-trivial interface implementation will have more than one function. Let's say I have a core library which defines lots of possible actions for my appli

I guess at this point version 9 looks OK. You have MSIE 9, Opera 10 etc and we've grown accustomed to those. It's up there at the same level and not particularly out of place. Now look back: the public stable release of Chrome 1 was on 11

Actually it runs better on my android than in stock Chrome on a reasonable powerful workstation. I get flicker, slow response and no visible animation between pages in Chrome. Seeing this I expected the worst when trying it on my phone, but

I've missed similar functionality since I switched from Chrome to Firefox (although for Firefox it was actually looking up user-scripts, which I guess is largely the same as Chrome extensions). Good job. Checking it out.

This one isn't half bad, but it is lacking. MSSQL has a much better query engine when your queries get complex and it uses indexes in a more sophisticated and efficient way. Also on larger databases where the DB-size exceeds the available m
