At first there was Meamo, then there came Moblin. After a while the two merged, thus creating MeeGo. All was good until Nokia and Intel divorced, and Intel made Tizen based on MeeGo. Now Tizen is incorporated into Bada, Samsung's platform.

When copyright holders have this much power... you should question who's side is the government on. But I guess the law is really about money, who has the better lawyer, most connections and lobbyists wins, so much for freedom, human rights

Walking is math too, it can be modeled in math, but that doesn't mean all people who walk are mathematicians. Physics is math too, but the difference is that while Physics uses the same constructs as math, Programming has radically differen

How many non-geek users actually care about most of these points? Users want gadgets that they can wrap their head around, they won't care about "Uniformity Across All Devices and Carriers" also carriers and device makers will certainly not

This article is ridiculous because it just states that WP7 is superior to Android without explaining why. So far their metro UI has yet to prove itself, people want apps, if I wanted their metro UI so badly there is probably already an Andr

Arguments like these can be used for pretty much any other technology, this is not NoSQL nor Node.js specific.

This only proves that this particular company failed to handle outsourcing. They should have realized early on that they are getting screwed. Also there are horror stories the other way around too.

I stopped reading here: > Microsoft has achieved platform unity across all their devices — something that Google and Apple are still a year or more away from reaching. This alone makes it hard for me to take this article seriously, also

I wouldn't call this approach radically new, this was already done with GTK3: http://blogs.gnome.org/alexl/2010/11/23/gtk3-vs-html5/ Also we already have a lot of browser UI toolkits that behave the same in modern browsers. I don't really

What did Samsung copy exactly? rounded corners? did Apple invent those? The iPad is simple, it doesn't really have unique characteristics in terms of design, I don't think simplicity can be patented.

There is nothing stopping other browsers from implementing the same features, most of them are probably fully documented standards anyway, even if there was no documentation people could just look at Chromium's source code, which was certai

> the above is meant to apply to overseas outsourcing in general I feel that this is a really arrogant attitude. I wonder if the author ever heard of that part of the world called Europe for example.

This article is basically a Sencha ad, the only objective thing it tells is that: developers need to target HTML5 for mobile because the lack of Flash, the rest is an advertisement. > Adobe Flash sites rapidly converted to HTML5 for iOS

TL;DR: PHP sucks because it is not Java or Python. This is a typical PHP rant that only rehashes the standard criticism against PHP, the author is obsessed with OOP and can't tolerate some global variables and functions(that are not methods

What annoys me about many OOP people is that they think designing class hierarchies are more important than making the code actually do what it needs to, it's like they get bonus points for every new class they introduce. I know sometimes t

0 click install seems to be a pretty good feature to me, you don't have to carry around an .exe file. You can make your web app run as fast as your native app, if most of the data processing happens on a central server anyway. Of course you

You still need to manipulate the DOM when using jQuery, the difference is that you are using an API that is actually reliable. I still need to do this: $('<div></div>').appendTo(document.body).dialog(dialogOptions);

To my best knowledge you can't customize iOS the way you can Android, some might say you don't have to, but for me that's still a plus. I have a Nexus S and the best thing about it is that I had the ability to install a keyboard a broswer a

You don't have to use inline functions all the time, you can do it like this: function foo () {.... } function bar () {....foo(); } function barfoo () {....bar(); } doSomething(barfoo);

"HTML" fails at delivering hot new stuff, but native apps on the other hand give too much control to the developer and a lot of developers abuse it. Having browser limitations can sometimes be a good thing.
