Well these are World stats, not Palo Alto stats. Windows dominating shouln't be a surprise really.

Sometimes I get the feeling that the Flash codebase is probably a huge clusterfuck. You know these doomed projects, that were never properly written at the beginning and then more and more stuff gets added on top of it. Then you change deve

I'd go for C++, if you're really good at C++, picking up Java, C# & ObjC will be a matter of a couple days each. That and Python.

Yeah after looking at it for a couple minutes, trying hard to figure out what's so special about a Google News screenshot, I came to the conclusion they all must be getting exited about a "Share"-Button? This whole thing would be far less i

Wow Hacker News... I did not expect this to be the most upvoted comment when I opened this thread. Underhandedness, deception, head-fakes a necessity, because that's just how things are? Really? Talk about throwing your ideology out of the

Apple can't succeed in the Enterprise market the way RIM does unless they do two things: - Make a cheap iPhone. Something companys can hand out to their employees for $200 a piece. - Make a iPhone with a physical keyboard. I can't really se

That sounds probable, but I don't think that's the whole story. First, every major IM provider is available on BlackBerrys (AIM, MSN, GoogleTalk, ICQ, WhatsApp...). Most of these clients are even co-written by RIM themselve and use the same

That's strange, while that's a normal breakfast task for Apple, RIM's really not the company to do things like that, even if the app affected battery life and what not. Pretty sure there are some dirty things going on behind the scenes, may

> API to fetch URLs in the background Oh yes please, that would get rid of the overly complicated workaround of using PUSH-Notifications for that.

I played this today on my coworker's iPhone4, since I'm running around with an Anroid of course. Gotta say, the gaming-side of the iPhone makes me quite jealous, especially with all the classics like Monkey Island and Secret of Mana being

Blacklist all Facebook IPs on Android? Haha, that's some heavy warfare you're talking about and I don't think the users will like that either.

Or just buy a US layout keyboard and use that! It's much better for coding anyway (especially for ObjC and its square brackts - these things aren't even labled on most international keyboards). Also it allows for much faster zergling produc

Cool idea, but the real question is how would you make something like this happen? Someone would need to invent a new programming language with support for all the Unicode characters and syntax coloring mechanisms, along with making a total

Didn't OSX just recently get rid of ARM support? Might be wrong though..

Well your fault for using an iPhone, just get a Froyo device and make your own WiFi around you!

Also, 2GB Ram and 64GB storage isn't something I could work with. Would need at least 4GB Ram and 256GB, but then I'd pay something like $1600 for a 13" notebook? I think the main problem about the MacBook Air and the previous one is that t

It's not really gonna be a big deal, but you gotta consider there's an Apple keynote being broadcasted live right now, that usually means RDF is pulsing at 100%, so my advise is hide and don't question anything!

Android phones with HTC Sense UI do this. It's pretty cool, it pulls a bunch of data (E-Mail address, birthday, last status message) and integrates them into your contacts. They also pull the profile image from Facebook and it's displayed w

But you have to consider that government spending in Germany is about 280 billion euros, while the US budget is at 3.8 trillion. It's a larger country and all, but these number are really out of proportion.

What has the FED buying US Treasury securities to do with Europe? That's the opposite of what Europe is doing to handle the economic crisis. The ECB is defiantly not buying German securities or anything like this. Health care and welfare ar

Well they could have just gone with python if they had known this was coming. They probably picked Java on the basis that it is free to use and fits into the open-source community.

Don't think cellphones can surpass the PS3/Xbox that easily. While technology is constantly making progress, we're about to hit two giant brick walls, that will somewhat slow that progress. These are: A) Power-Consumption and directly relat

I think there just isn't enough good information out there for a surgeon. It's already hard to find good information on some obscurer topics of software development, like for example windows driver programming, where you won't go far withou

Well this is true if you want to be a software developer. You can get very skilled and competent just learning online. For everything else I don't know... I sure would get a little uncomfortable if my surgeon told me he skipped college and

No man, don't give up freedom on such short-sighted things like "we're better off them banning penis-maps". There are things nobody can imaging right now that also will never happen, because the environment is too restrictive for it. See, i

How could they not notice Eclipse doesn't work anymore before releasing the update? Are they forced to use Netbeans?
