if I remember correctly, Dart was announced end of 2011 and become available to "play with" almost immediately. Since couple month after announcement, I have not seen anyone mentioning it ever. In 'internet years', 2011 is ancient history - so I am not sure if "it's still early in Dart's life" apply.
I can see Google pushing it into Chrome, but I can not see Google replacing JS with it and I do not see any other browser except Chrome adopting it. Dart solves problem which no one has.
I am not sure what all the buzz about? We had this kind of "Laptops" 5 years ago - they were called "Netbooks" and as everybody should know they are dead now. If you can not do "real work" on it - you are better off with tablet. Otherwise, there is no way around of having proper laptop with proper OS.
Totally agree. The only reason for mySQL lingering popularity is that many years ago it WAS faster than Postgres. The only reason it WAS faster - it did not have proper transactions. Don't take me wrong, current version of mySQL is solid product, but one will always wonder why DB company like Oracle will want to keep alternative DB around?
and it shows. First of all, I have been using Intuit for last 6-7 years. Secondary, I do appreciate the fact that US tax law is horribly complicated. However it seems that over last 5 years quality of Intuit software is going down the drain. Go to Intuit support forums and you will see what I am talking about. So answer to the question "How Intuit Manages 10 Million Lines of Code" is - poorly.
During last 12 month almost every single news outfit run a story (and some of these outfits run it more than once) about companies (like GE or all Oil companies) not only not paying any taxes in US but actually getting substantial refunds. At the very least, Apple and MS do pay some taxes in US.
If you create a crooked tax system, do not complain that peoples and companies learn how to "use" it, change the system.
It seems that lately someone figure out that any news gets "hotter" if it has "Apple angle". I am getting sick of it, but apparently stories about how incompetent and dysfunctional US congress is can not sustain "public" interest as well as "Apple... doing... anything".
I have seen this thing in person. It looks absolutely amazing. Stationary or when its go full bore. I wonder why its called - failed? This ship was used extremely effectively in intercepting drug runners using speed boats. Not only its fast enough to keep up, despite its size it sits very high in the water, so it can follow these light boats in very shallow waters.
Also if you read these "for sale" ad, what they selling is floating dock and scrap metal from this boat.
So now instead of pitching your IT security related technology to the customer (competing with other vendors), you just need to get really good friends in DHS and they will mandate use of your tehnology?
I am not sure if this is a good marketing/political move on Google part. They demonstrate to the whole world how easy it is for them to "alter" search results. So today they choose to alter it one way, but what prevents Google to do it other way tomorrow?
Agree. And the fact that these days more and more people do not store ANY music at all, but instead stream it over internet makes it even more idiotic.
This is typical "bight - and - switch". Start with controversial statement to get eye-balls and then switch to self-promotion. Statement about App Store (which he completely fail to explain/justify) occupy barely 15% of the article, rest is promotional stuff about Wikipedia.
On top of this, any article which claims that most of "net-neutrality" debate focused on "hypothetical" issues makes me highly suspicious in regards to author real intent.
It is far from been open standard AND its actually uses H264 under the hood. I will not congratulate Google on been Champion of Open Source until Chrome will stop having Flash EMBEDDED into it.
First of all, please check your facts before making such a broad assumptions. Application need to be configured in particular way in order to be invocable via URL in iOS. I will be surprised if 1 in 1000 applications in Apple iTunes App Store using this functionality.
Secondary, It is 100% application responsibility to act "properly" when invoked via URL. All iOS does is firing app and informing it that it was invoked via URL. Skype choose to start call without getting confirmation from the user. Too bad for Skype.
Unless there is some "OMG I Absolutely Have To Have This" Application which is avilable only on Chrome OS, 99.999% of iPad users will see no reason to even think about it. Lets face if, MS Windows had some horrible usability problems and still most of the people never bother to look around for something better. And in case of iOS vs. Chrome - at best we have toss up.
Do you really want your kids to learn creationism in school, have 99% of the budget spend on military and hunting homeless and immigrants become a recreational activity?
This is what will happen if everyone (including nerds) will keep saying - "That none of my business".
1) very small % of WoW players heard about glider and even smaller % ever used it
2) huge part of WoW experience is well balanced economy, bots (and gold sellers) really screwing economy - hence negatively affecting every WoW player.
3) from my understanding how glider works - it is VERY hard for Blizzard (or even impossible) to automate process of detecting accounts which uses glider.
Bottom Line: Blizzard has only 3 options:
1) Ignore the problem and have WoW experienced worsened for many "legit" users,
2) Try to make it impossible to implement glider like functionality,
3) Sue any company which trying to bring gliders to the WoW.
Blizzard can not live with option #1 - unhappy customers liable to leave. They trying to work on #2, but when you run on something as insecure as Windows, it is quite futile. So the only thing left - sue them.
And they do have good case against MDY. Glider work in very much the same way as some more sofisticated viruses (the only difference, is that Glider does all "bad" things in memory only).
Actually, Safari on iPhone supports Java Script exceptionally well. If you read carefully, Apple explicitly allow JS in WebKit container.
I have tried Opera for few hours - and went back to Safari. Unless you are on Edge - the speed difference is negligible and really there is no any other benefits to compel me to switch from Safari.
1) Adobe products are NOT main selling feature of Macs (by far)
2) Mac sales of Adobe products provide huge chunk of Adobe bottom line.
Bottom line: If adobe will pool from Mac market, they will be shooting themselves in the foot.

has no logical reason to be legal. It does well documented harm to economy as a whole, while not doing any good (except for few... see #3. above)

got the whole new meaning!

Is there any electricity flowing and if there is, how can we harvest it?

Do not full yourself. They will charge you $3 AND then sue you (or rather sue 10K of Jon Doe's - and you may just end up one of those)
Buy VPN service from one of UK companies like http://www.ukproxyserver.co.uk/info/uk-tv-streaming/ It works nicely.

This will only work if they push other pice of legislation which will make listening to FM radio compulsory.

this is not true. take a look at this http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/special/politics/votes/house/finalhealthcare/?nav=rss_email/components If you sort by amount of contributions, you will see that health care industry spread its $$$ almost evenly between Dem and Rep. Also, you will see that amount of contributions from healthcare industry does not really correlate with Yes/No vote on HCR.
This is the only explanation I can think of. Either this or total failure to comprehend.
