Google's still trying to sell netbooks? Really? Sometimes I wonder if they are aware that the iPad has completely obliterated the market for underpowered/overpriced netbooks.

No, HTML5 audio actually kind of worked in iOS 3. But Apple plugged that whole and made sure it was fully sabotaged in iOS 4.

Yeah, it's very subtle. He's essentially saying that the TDD approach has made his code is flawless, and he is incapable of producing bugs.

I think Facebook should cozy up to Mozilla and use Boot2Gecko. Facebook's strength is in their web presence, and by leveraging a web-oriented phone, they could offer something that doesn't compete directly with other handset makers.

Settings -> Safari -> Audio -> On/Off, or with a permissions dialog There is no good reason to have Audio off by default and have no way to turn it on for games.

It's impossible to build an iOS game for Safari that has sound. They've limited the API by only allowing a single audio channel that can only be used during touchscreen actions. You can't programmatically play a sound, eg like when a coll

Like how Apple has sabotaged the use of HTML5 Audio, I think it is unlikely they will enable WebGL. It provides developers an open platform for developing games, which conflicts with Apple's closed system agenda.

From the sounds of how violent the country is, I think Americans actually do need to have this level of control and suppression.

I think we're starting to approach a time period where lamenting over filesizes over 10KB should be a thing of the past. I have a fairly typical internet connection, and I can download 40 MEGABYTES in about 8 seconds.

Have they fixed the "won't install on case-sensitive filesystems" bug that has been in every version of Photoshop for the Mac?

I bet a lot of VC and angel investors right now are looking at those FB quotes and starting to get a knot in their stomach. The jig is up, the Social Network Bubble that VC's have been hyping and pumping non-stop for the past couple years

Yahoo? No thanks. Just go away, patent troll.

Yahoo is a dying company, quickly converting itself into a patent troll, and suing competitors in a desperate attempt to stay relevant long after they are. This is a dying company. I have ZERO respect for any employee of a company like th

Brought to you by a patent troll that thinks it invented the concept of a news feed, and is suing every web publisher that displays new information in a list. Who can possibly take this company seriously anymore?

They can sell some of their shares to private investors. A VC expects to earn many times their money on the investment... which requires dramatic and risky expansion of the business.

This is pretty light on details and it kind of makes no sense. Everyone loves the product and it's a (apparently very) profitable business. What can Andreesen Horowitz do to help them other than come in and do another bubbly ol' flipparoo

It must be kind of crazy for him to watch the stock price move. Imagine seeing your net worth go up and down by millions of dollars almost every second.

This sounds like the typical hogwash from any other politically aligned media outlet. Am I reading a Fox News editorial? Just post the video and let "the internet" make the decision. If you think you think you can censor opinion in the mo

Anyone who complains about this obviously never was willing to pay enough for the product/service to make it viable -- THEY are the problem, not the site owner. People need to pay for what they like or what is here today might not be here

https://github.com/arturadib/node-qt It's a valiant effort, but I wonder if anyone has a use for the Qt API to draw text on a window? All you really need to do is get WebKit working and get NodeJS to be able to open WebKit windows

This guy's opinion of course omits the huge problems of walled gardens, dickwad Apple rules, closed platforms, 30% royalty absurdity, and the archaic development process of native apps.

Beware that even if you had vested stock you typically would have to buy the options for whatever they were worth when you were hired, within 90 days. If you're broke now, you'll need to find some place to get the money to buy those option

Microsoft has definitely earned their hatred in both the consumer and development communities. They rode their monopoly as far as they could, and they are going to pay for it very dearly. Literally noone I have met in the past 10 years is
