Yup. I guess the differenece is no dependency on angular-UI and it cuts straight to the bootstrap part.

As an ex-EA employee, I think I know the real reasons. They're Target, Walmart and Carrefour. The packaged game industry is still beholden to retailers.

I like to say "money begets money". If the incentive is money, people make more money. If it's not, they don't. It's that simple. Everything money related works this way for a reason. Sales, real estate, trading, mortgages, whatever. And I

How do you get it to work fine on your lap? I've tried it with the kickstand and it's very unsteady. Did you buy an accessory?

Yikes, there are a lot of sleezy ads on that picknzip page. Like the "installIQ" version of 7-zip.

One thing I've been wondering: is it the problems or the perception that are biting us now? For example, in 1970-ish, did the 747 have all kinds of problems we just would never remember and they were not a big deal in the era? Or is it trul

Not sure why you were downvoted, you bring up a good point that should be explained. Vert.x is "polyglot" (i.e. write in various JVM languages) and multi-threaded, even clustered, easily. For people who are building services and care about

> Most have no idea what "stock" is, or why they might want it. Don't you think it's trending towards people knowing though? E.g. N4 being instantly sold out, worldwide. Could be thanks in part to Google's huge campaign both online and

This story is true the world over. A friend got deported from India the other day for a mistake they (as in the Indian government) made on his visa.

Is he trying to say that everything we write today in Javascript will probably be rewritten like everything we wrote in Perl in the 90s got rewritten? That's probably true, but it doesn't mean "Javascript is the new Perl" Perl had zero corp

Ok, but there's nothing that prevents them from implementing QT on Android using the NDK. You don't have to throw out all application compatibility to achieve something like this.

Whether these succeed or not, I simply don't get it. Android is open source. Fork it. Improve it. Why build something completely new. Is it just to keep a brand name like "Ubuntu" and "Firefox"?
