Still as thick on top and bottom. It's just the sides that are thinner. I guess it depends how you hold it most of the time. Personally, I mostly hold it in landscape view, so I will have the thick bezel most of the time. There are jus

And according to companies like HP , they are officially a competitor. At least for them. On paper. They have yet to make any real world moves to proof they actually compete in the hardware sector. A 800 million dollar write off with the fi

I'd like to point out that the competition would have to offer a whole lot more than the current device people are using before they would consider a switch. Isn't that why WinPhone has yet to actually gain any traction? The marke

I wonder how such a setup would play out in regards to Open Source usage. Say you create a big jar with all dependencies in there in several layers of "lib" folders. Licenses like LGPL say you have to keep the LGPL archive accessi

You must have not been looking too hard as that was never true. Apple has no problem with Open Source. It is just that a few Open Source Licenses have a problem with Apple. A small but important difference. Apple couldn't care less w

>The weakness of the iPad is that it is a thoroughly a consumer oriented product. When it is supposed to replace paper manuals for pilots, all you need is a consumer grade tablet. Especially if it comes in a build quality like the iPad.

Let's hope so. As long as Valve keeps the desktop side of Steam and the Big Picture mode separate from each other we would be fine. I really hope they won't make Microsofts mistake and start trashing the desktop UI of Steam and in

Why would people have to run into traffic at all? I'd say the easiest way to have streets with self driving cars and without traffic lights would be to build pedestrian overpasses. Just a nice small bridge to cross the roads.

I think this is key here. Before, you could try and lock or wipe your phone when it was stolen. But in order for it to work the thief must have let it powered on. If he was smart and shut it off, took it home and booted into DFU mode to res
