Is this even their prerogative? Presumably, Square Enix would have partnered directly with OnLive and made some contractual arrangement to include the promotion in their product packaging. I'm certainly not a lawyer, but I can't imagine thi

With the availability of commercial offerings, I'd be surprised if Apple integrated NWS warnings. They'd be negating sales of apps, which reduces not just a vendor's revenue, but their own as well..

Ah, John Dvorak. I seriously think you'd be hard-pressed to find a man who is so wrong so much of the time and be so well-paid for it.

Micek all but admits that his company has completely stopped writing software. His vague alusions to "improvements" financed by settlement monies already collected not withstanding, he speaks of virtually nothing but IP acquisition and the

The blog post asserts that these standards should exist, lists some non-obvious things that will need to be developed by someone, and makes a case for their potential profitability, albeit a weak one I'll grant you. I don't understand why y

There's no conspiracy, it's all in the incentive. Existing open source software was all pretty much designed to run on existing hardware. Free and open print specifications and interfaces couldn't run on existing hardware, and hardware R&#3

Privacy is great, no doubt about it, but a company has a right to offer services under their own terms. They constructed their business model with a profit goal in mind, and they determined what it would take to reach that profit. Now, I'm

It isn't the demand for fees, per se, it's the intended result of those fees. Those fees are to be charged at such a rate, a rate practically guaranteed by the monopoly promised by the patent, as to make Android infeasible economically. Tha

You're objecting to the idea of a litmus test. Forgive me, but that's really just pride giving you inflated confidence in your abilities. We all need checks and balances, and sometimes those checks and balances seem rather ridiculous (espec

The real issue here is not the hardware and not Android, but what device manufacturers and network providers cram down the throats of their customers. Custom UI enhancements/replacements, useless bundled apps that can't be removed, and the

All you need to do to experience this first hand is go to one Ruby meetup. The roundtable introductions at my local Ruby brigade are often seasoned with AA-like declarations of soberness such as "Hi, I'm So-and-so and I've been Java-free si

The bit about closing the door is a stroke of genius. I suspect Zuckerberg responded exactly as vaguely as he meant to, evoking the non-committal response from Williams and learning much about him in the process.

Unnecessarily retalitory? I wouldn't be so sure. Don't forget that Google search results include selected content from indexed websites. The index itself actually contains all content, which Google may have believed to be a litigation risk

There are generally legitimate reasons for various words to be regarded as crude or offensive. Often enough that is the very intention behind a word. Not being offended by them, or at least claiming so, is not a mark of enlightenment. Nor i

That was the first thing I tried, to no avail. I was able to see his response by going to his profile and hovering over the word "spoiler" in his comment stream. The word "spoiler" doesn't appear for me in the threaded comments and clicking

I think I'm missing something. The comments that appear as if they should contain the answers contain nothing. Have the answers been removed? Does Reddit's [spoiler] tag do fun javascript-y things that don't work on IE8? Or am I so obtuse a

Sometimes the controls of a system allow you to break the rules. Now, this is bound to be a wildly unpopular position, but that doesn't absolve you of the consequences of breaking those rules. Noble intentions or not, my read of the article

What isn't clear, but seems implied, is that Chrome developers have reserved these shortcuts for use with Chrome itself. Google seems to place a high importance on keyboard shortcuts for their applications. The list of shrotcuts for GMail,

Is it really worth carrying a metaphor out to its absurd conclusion? A web browser does not exactly equate to a plumbing fixture, yet they both have maturation cycles that prompt people to upgrade over time. Browser technology moves faster
