It wouldn't cost apple anything if they just allow applications downloaded of websites to be installed on iDevices. I'm sure subscription services would be happy to host a small application package themselves.

Except that printing back the value of a POST parameter in PHP is just. <?php echo htmlspecialchars($_POST["name"]); ?> Most other languages would need a lot more (even with things like mod_perl). Plain PHP is d

While I do not know the exact figures, there still is a good possibility for Apple to gain They pay for H.264 license to distribute their decoder, but collect royalty for their patents from every other codec vendor, device maker and commerc

Branches are usable only when a merge is not unnecessarily painful. SVN's lack of ability to track renames is a big pain especially in languages like Java where the filename corresponds to code itself. SVN is capable of leaving the codebase

Moving to WebM may not save money for Apple. They gain money everytime someone pays MPEG LA for H.264 as they are one of the licensors. If H.264 loses widespread adoption Apple loses its share of the fees too.

This is a simple expression. How about writing (1+2) * ((3 + 6) / (1+2)) in prefix notation without losing readability? When precedence is to be overridden, the infix form can be easily understood by anyone with basic knowledge of arithmet

For quite a long time, Java was the only imperative language (most programmers can grok imperative faster than a functional language) with garbage collection, language support for multi-threading, a cross-platform VM, tooling and libraries,

It is not entirely carriers' fault though. Samsung is yet to roll-out the update even in out countries like India, where carriers don't interfere with it at all. To top it all off, they've disabled OTA and need a Windows only desktop softw

A single instance of node.js running the sample hello world code from the site will not fare well as it will not be able to use multiple CPUs/Cores. Multiple instances need to be run with a load-balancer to make it comparable. In my own pr

My biggest gripe with Galaxy S (at least the I9000) is that it doesn't do OTA firmware upgrade. It also needs Samsung Kies which runs only on Windows and on top of it fails to upgrade the firmware with a "Failed to convert to upgrade mode"
