  1. Re:Opening it up will just prove Apples point on Apple Relaxes iOS Development Tool Restrictions · · Score: 1

    You mean apps like iFart (Flash Edition) ? There's already plenty of junk in the AppStore.

  2. Re:Valve... on Steam Prompts OS X Graphics Update · · Score: 1

    I think it was more they convinced devs to develop for "the sequel to the console with the most units sold"

  3. Re:Valve... on Steam Prompts OS X Graphics Update · · Score: 1

    Convinced companies in the console market to switch to Linux? No.. Most PS3 dev does not take place in Linux, nor does the PS3 run Linux (remember they removed that option). They had merely been using OtherOS to try and get a tax break by selling as a computer instead of a console.

  4. Re:How? on PS3 Hacked via USB Dongle · · Score: 1

    the repair will send you a refurb of whatever version you send in. The cost is $150 + tax flat fee. Be sure to also send in the original HDD as they will not even bother to swap them.

  5. Re:"e.g."; C# on iPhone on PS3 Hacked via USB Dongle · · Score: 1

    C# runs on Windows Mobile 5/6 too. And it used to run on iOS, until Apple walled their garden even further.

  6. Re:What does this mean for cheats/aimbots? on PS3 Hacked via USB Dongle · · Score: 0, Troll

    My PS3 was disconnected from ethernet and turned off, yet somehow the update came through.

  7. Re:Improving battery life would be a better strate on Google Introduces New Android Features · · Score: 1

    Scrolling causes redraw. This is true of just about any application.

  8. Yes, well... on Video Quality Matters Less If You Enjoy the Show · · Score: 1

    I enjoy my shows more when they don't have block artifacts.

    So now what?!

  9. Re:re Triple GDP on WikiLeaks Publishes Afghan War Secrets · · Score: 1

    Not all the money spent goes to overseas. Some of it is given to the soldiers.

  10. Re:bloatware CAN be removed on 'Bloatware' Becoming a Problem On Android Phones · · Score: 1

    Clicking a button that says you have root (Android) vs downloading software from the internet that creates a backup that is altered (iPhone).

  11. Re:So, are there reasons for this? on Droid X Self-Destructs If You Try To Mod · · Score: 1

    That's not true in some areas, and especially not true of the older Windows Mobile phones where you could always install over stock rom. So now, where do I download the source to iOS4 then? I already have Android straight from Google.

  12. Re:This is a non-story (how it actually happend) on Nokia Chases Blogger To Recover N8 Prototype · · Score: 3, Informative

    An individual comes into an unauthorized posession of a development prototype.
    Individual politely asks Apple if they want it back.
    Apple denies existence of property.
    Individual sells property to Gizmodo.
    Apple involves the authorities.

    The years of the Windows desktops beg to differ.

  17. Re:Other OS feature on PS Move Launch Date and Price Announced, Portal 2 For the PS3 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So what happens if someone attempts to hack the PS3 using the Play Game feature?

  18. Re:Seriously? on PS Move Launch Date and Price Announced, Portal 2 For the PS3 · · Score: 3, Informative

    Here's a list, it's quite a bit longer than "Halo", http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Game_Studios
    Sony has quite a few too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_Computer_Entertainment

  19. Re:Couldn't they make the Move less goofy? on PS Move Launch Date and Price Announced, Portal 2 For the PS3 · · Score: 1

    From what I've seen, the colors are used to differentiate which controller # you are using. So switching colors during gameplay is unlikely.

  20. Re:Real Ratina Display on iPhone 4's "Retina Display" Claims Challenged · · Score: 1

    People who are near sighted. Steve Jobs. Marketers.

  21. Re:Screen res on Android Compatibility and Fragmentation · · Score: 1

    This is why the Android SDK shows you how to use their 9patch drawing support.

  22. Re:iPhone developer agreement: Eat a bug on camera on Apple Blindsides More AppStore Developers · · Score: 1

    The answer to all that is yes you can do it, and you have been able to do it since at least Windows 95. The easiest way on Windows has always been Window Blinds, even though in 98 and on they added regular theming support. http://www.stardock.com/products/windowblinds/

  23. Re:iPhone developer agreement: Eat a bug on camera on Apple Blindsides More AppStore Developers · · Score: 1

    Call me crazy, but that looks exactly like things Windows has also had for quite a long time. The fact that you could replace the shell process in Windows plays a big part in it.

  24. Re:My business model fails! on Apple Blindsides More AppStore Developers · · Score: 1

    restrictive as microsoft

    Arguably more restrictive than Microsoft.

    I don't get why this link requires https, seems kind of weird.
