You don't have to do it all the time though do you? I presume it is calibrate and stored. All touch screens require some sort of calibration initially I would have thought, I'm guessing Apple etc... just do it for you or with newer screens that it is set once or auto-calibrated.
I just installed Linux Mint Debian Edition and put Enlightenment as window manager. Now I'm running Eclipse and doing Android programming no bother on it though I'm using my phone rather than the emulator which was taking too long to start up.
But you'd be surprised what you can do with a 200 Euro laptop when you ditch the bloat of most modern desktop environment. I still have all the auto-mounting, wireless management, update manager etc.. through the systray gadget which loads all the gnome systray stuff and the ability to use nautilus or any other gnome app I want though Enlightenment does pretty much everything I need in 30MB or so of memory.
Gnome is pretty much unusable on Eeepc I have, the system monitor uses 25% CPU and I'm disappointed in how it is bloating. We need Gnome lite:P
Circles isn't as innovative as it sounds. Sectioning information into the groups you want to know about it is fine except Google and anyone willing to pay them can bypass your circles so you still need to be careful what you say.
Substitute net for box and you have a much less likelihood of objects not being captured by being too small and you have a better choice of strong materials. Only problem then is velocity. Realistically though, this potential problem will only be tackled once its potential is realised (i.e accident costing millions or someone dies).
Apple would have sent around an internal email asking employees to stop bringing unreleased phones to bars or even leaving company property with them. Almost like they want these stories to get out...
It lets people freely improve the plugin for the proprietary IDE to make the plugin better. I don't see the problem. Obviously they can't fix bugs in Visual Studio but all users of VS are free to use and improve the plugin.
Corporate lobbying is corrupt and industry lobbying. A corporation doesn't exist and is made up of individuals but the corporation cannot claim to represent those people without their consent. It is the same logic as union lobbying is corruption and both are. Individuals lobbying is not corrupt, organised group lobbying where the group has not got the consent to lobby on behalf of those people is corrupt and misrepresenting those peoples opinions who are usually the workers in the company or the members of the unions.
Depends on the departments involved. Governments are well capable of speaking out both sides of their mouth. They are experts at it in fact. It could quite easily happen that the government would oppose it nationally and advocate it Internationally or make a national decision that informs the International position. Usually the government is viewed as a single hive mind but it is far too disorganised to be able to function like that.
Then maybe China isn't the great opportunity they think it is and they need to reevaluate their plans. Really the only reason people pirate things is because they can't afford them. If the Chinese companies can't afford the product at western prices and western companies can't afford to reduce their prices to what the Chinese can pay then there is no market for the product regardless of whether they pirate it or not.
Most of the time I read titles like this as "Turning Chinese into Westerners". Applying western values to a Chinese culture (especially business culture) and expecting it to stick is naive at best. Western companies need to adapt to Chinese way of doing things to operate in China.
I don't think it would, I have all the consoles and a Pc and just buy games for Pc now. Got the 360 first, kind of regret it now. It is loud, slow, the interface is terrible unless your using it all the time in which case your probably use to it and overall it is just a poor experience compared to Pc gaming. The much touted evolving System Requirements have pretty much stopped since the companies started supporting consoles so well and the only actual remaining issue is sometimes poor control scheme in some Pc games and just poor console ports sometimes.
This pays the bills for the free users, same as Facebook, you are the product on Playstation Home and so it has to succeed for Home to stay free and has to succeed for pay for the necessary improvements in security.
make the fucking website usable, I might be able to buy tickets. I've only tried to buy from it once and it was like getting kicked in the face a few times and I got about as much out of it.
Log in at 9 for tickets going on sale at 9, website fails to load, website eventually loads, tickets sold out. Its not even 5 past 9. Why not just use a bloody email sign up lottery system? Enter email, you can sign up and enter your friends emails to ensure you get seats together because the system can process it that way once all entered on same form. If your submission number gets picked in lottery then you all get the seats unless there is not enough seats left for your group in which case it picks a new number until it finds a match.
Why can't such a system just be put in place over the current everybody rush for the doors and see if you all fit through mechanism? Isn't this the sort of moronic real world problem that the Internet allows us to solve? Why replicate the real world problem onto the Internet?
Windows 8 still runs older applications though. With Windows Phone 7, Ms dropped support for all the earlier Windows Mobile stuff, dropped support for SQL Mobile, didn't allow any Windows Mobile project to be migrative to Visual Studio 2010 forcing any house with projects for both to stick with 2008 or split across two versions of Visual Studio. Keep in mind, this was the same time as they introduced MVC 3 to Vistual Studio 2010 and were refusing to make a lot of the newer projects for 2008 and this was only explained at the release of Visual Studio 2010 and they refused to comment oh what the plans were for Windows Mobile projects and if they would ever be supported and refused to comment on whether Phone 7 would be getting an enterprise version that Windows Mobile houses could migrate to or give any information to anyone basically working in the rugged market where Windows Mobile was the platform of choice. It was a joke.
I switched to bing for most of my searches because it usually gets me links I want and not some local copy of the original article. I think Google searches are too localised and too much centered around my search history among other things. I'm always logged in as I have mail account with them and logging out and in to that to perform searches is a pain and not only that but it still localises the search results to bias for my country. Sometimes I want an outside opinion about what is going on. Google just doesn't seem to be as good as bing for that. It is better at finding local services like government sites for my country but worse at most other things now. I recommend people try bing now. A lot better than it was when it launched. I tried switching to other mail services but Gmail is the best with Google Doc integration and Google tasks but I'm leaving the search engine behind me.
Using Zimbra as my IMAP client to gmail on LMDE. Check out ZDesktop to see if you can live with it as it is pretty much the same as the web interface. It was easy to setup.
My boss is hardcore Apple fan, has everything except a Mac or Macbook. Just thinks everything is on windows and is used to it so OSX isn't intuitive to him. iPhone was first touchscreen phone that was heavily marketed and had a good brand behind it. Nokia's were king of the previous generation because people got used to the keypad layout for things like full stops and didn't want to adapt to another manufacturers keypad who put those options in other places at least among the people I asked at the time. Xbox 360 took the console market by providing the next generation console ahead of everyone else but Wii took the motion market despite the other manufacturers adding their own to their consoles, they have not taken off in same way.
All the above have one thing in common, first to market and many got a largely non-technical audience who don't seem to want to adapt to new interfaces once they get comfortable with one. Time to market and heavy marketing to ensure brand recognition and show that the manufacturer heavily believes in the product and is there to support it is what makes users buy into these products in my opinion. Well that and most of the above were also shiny:P
Well intents on the web will require some work and thought outside Android's intents for sure. For one thing, intents on Android allow you to select one intended target but on the web you could easily intend to sent it to two targets (faceboox and twitter) for example and that social intent is probably the best use of the intents system they are developing.
Then you have malicious use which on the web could be much easier achieved though presumably if Google was running the show, such websites would be removed from Google search results quite quickly.
Which was one of the reasons I switched from windows in the first place. I now run enlightenment at the moment. Does everything I need it to, looks good and doesn't use a lot of memory.

Ha I would love to see ribbon bar for visual studio in general. That would be good for a laugh. Watch as the market share nose dives.

You don't want your data actually being seen by someone somewhere which is the case in many business applications I would think.

Cheers I checked it out, looks great, now my default browser search engine to try it out for a while.
