I remember reading about this 'hack' at the time. I just can't believe that it ended in Aaron taking his own life. I'm sure anyone paying attention to this will be very angry and sad.

Great story, and I'm a huge fan of Coda, that does a little of everything pretty well.

They are smoking crack if they think anyone will use a scripting language that doesn't have a functioning REPL. My goto-languages for quick development are Perl 5, Clojure and Javascript. All 3 are adequately fast for real tasks. All are cr

Yeah, and he's not wrong about the oil and gas biz. My company is doing a bunch of work with .NET/WPF and what-not, but to some large degree C++ code, literally millions of lines of it, pays the bills. And as someone who's always enjoyed de

Nice! That's a super-pretty (web) app. Of course you are up against a lot of people in the iOS space, I hope you have some unique angles to compete.

My Nexus 4 is bigger and better than my iPhone 4s, in everything except absolute hardware quality, though it's not far behind. Jellybean is fantastic, and provides a stable glitch-free experience, with significantly better performance in ke

This is a good point. I believe, that in the end, the browser will win. The Mozilla OS on phone will go somewhere, and many many apps will move into the browser, both on the low-end phone hardware, and on high-end laptop hardware.

One of the key things about Rich, is that he simply 'does'. Needed a way to access Java arrays from Clojure, #bam#, it's done. Things have slowed down a bit with the maturing of Clojure, but it was really something how fast Clojure develope

Yes, this is a strange article. The reality is that MS were way behind the tablet curve, having plugged the same old tiny buttons, traditional Windows, use a stylus, furrow for years and years. Bolting Metro onto Windows 7 is likely to plea

Only one part of this review really matters, and that's that the "cola" and the "energy drink" both suck, read: your kids will refuse to drink them. Money wasted.

This seems kind of expensive, since I found a guy in Houston who put a new front on my broken iPhone 4 for $75.

Exactly. Look at Apple going nowhere until the return of Steve Jobs. I used those bloody damn awful Performas, and was part of Schlumberger's migration from Mac to Windows 95. Then Steve came back and we got all the cool pro stuff [drawing

It might have been cool 4 years ago. But these days, those tin dialogs and buttons are a joke. Heck, I've been bitching about non-resizable dialogs in Office for years.

It's been a while since I've been so stoked about a piece of tech! I returned my Galaxy Nexus, mainly for the poor camera, and for the fact that not one week after getting it, it was discontinued and replaced with this much nicer phone.

Ok, as of 12:09pm CST, I was able to add a 16GB N4 to my cart and check-out. So either they found another pallette of the things somewhere, or people are getting cold feet and canceling their orders. Hitting F5 on the product page seems to

It may be an indicator that the iPhone lifetime is now exceeding 2 years, and rather than being desperate to get the next Apple iDevice, people are instead casting around for cheaper cell-plans and thinking about moving to Android.

I had the same experience. The 16 GB went first, then the 8GB about 20 - 30 minutes afterwards. I expect LG will be able to make more, but this is a standout phone. In my case, my Nexus 7 basically opened the horizon up for me, as far as mo

Hahahaha. So you've never heard about what the ARM was originally designed for? http://acorn.chriswhy.co.uk/Computers/A500.html I guess that was a while ago! And it certainly was desktop-class. It beat the pants off a 12 MHz 286.

It's a tad different in the US. The US Speed Channel 'coverage' is three guys in a shed in North Carolina watching the feed. Worse still, it's continually interrupted by long ads. Great example of why US style cable TV just plain sucks.

I think the migration from Apple just hit my wife. I've been an iPhone user since day 1, made some money on the app store, and my wife followed with the iPhone 3G, then my cast-off iPhone 4 when the 4S came out. Now though, after I bought h

Fantastic. I love the swipe for settings. Coincidentally, I just started on adding almost the identical thing to an Android app I'm doing that needs very simple gestures so it can be used in the car. The only jarring note is that when selec

I haven't bought any non-Apple computers or phones in ages, but I just succumbed to the lure of the Nexus 7. It's fantastic, and a great all-around device. It surfs the web, does Gmail, and hooks up to bluetooth, with a great battery life.

It was also ahead of available display bandwidth. 640x256 non-interlaced was not a display resolution suitable for a business machine, and it was shut-out of the business-use market for anyone who wanted to preserve their eye-function... Of

As soon as you start talking about different versions, you've lost. You can have big memory, small memory, with or without cellular. Even Apple are stretching it, but if Microsoft fragment the perception by launching similar devices that ru

Apple fanboi that I am, freely admitted, my Nexus 7 is wonderful, and I think the granting of this entire patent is insane.

At peak, my app FemCal was making about $1500 / month, or almost 1/4 of this top app, and I never broke about 130th place in the app store. Don't add up to me.
