  1. Re:Hallelujah! on Adobe Stops Development For iPhone · · Score: 1

    Safari on OSX sure, but Safari on OSX with plugins (specifically flash) is not so terrific in my experience. Chrome handles it much better, possibly due to their recent desire to work together.

  2. Re:Apple slows down innovation on all fronts on Adobe Stops Development For iPhone · · Score: 1

    Phones long before iPhone were not reliant on WAP but real internet. PocketPC phones way back in 2002/2003 for instance. iPhone takes far too much credit for stuff it didn't do. Also, the iPhones run terrible on Edge, which if you have AT&T can be quite often depending on your location.

  3. Re:Had almost enough of this on Adobe Stops Development For iPhone · · Score: 1

    Except Flash is already on low powered devices with much less power than the original iPhone 3G. Flash Lite has been around for a long time, but Apple said they would not accept anything less than Flash, then now say they will not accept that.

  4. Re:Is there a downside? on Adobe Stops Development For iPhone · · Score: 1

    You're right. It's not like they have to support other platforms. Let's just dive head over heals into Apple's walled garden!

  5. Re:Hallelujah! on Adobe Stops Development For iPhone · · Score: 1

    Try the same thing with Chrome. Safari sucks for plugins, just read about Google's response to help Adobe make it better. FireFox exhibits the same problems, but Chrome & IE actually seem to run plugins much more friendlier.

  6. Re:Adobe also said... on Adobe Stops Development For iPhone · · Score: 1

    4) Adobe spoke with Apple who told them all was well, others in the game (Unity, MonoTouch, etc) had done similar and passed app store verification. Apple then changed the terms, but as usual will only enforce them by playing favorites.

    And there is no way to control it either.

    You mean like right clicking and selecting "not junk" ?

    If you're talking about Jack Thompson he got disbarred for stuff like that. He even harassed judges routinely. Pretty much everyone should know he's a nutcase now. We just need to inform people about Hillary.

  9. Re:The right thing to do on Microsoft Refuses To Patch Rootkit-Compromised XP Machines · · Score: 2, Informative

    If Microsoft has a way of detecting the rootkit, they should make it available separately so that people can test their machines before they try to update them.

    They do just this. Malicious Software Removal Tool.

    4 of the 15 each BestBuy got were required to be display devices. Kind of brings down the whole actual sales a bit.

    You couldn't even do that on PocketPC successors years later. I'm not even certain they ever got around to supporting it with Windows Mobile

    They've been doing these things for years.

    Internet Explorer on Windows CE was a joke then and it almost certainly wouldn't work now.

    Good thing they have had the ability to run Opera or any other browser they wanted then. Unlike some other company that restricts these things.

    I doubt there are more apps for WinCE than iPhone OS

    I would take betting odds that you are wrong. Especially if we condense down all the iPhone paid/lite versions as well as all the 10/20/50/100/etc points in blahblah game junk.

  13. Re:IDEs on Something For (Almost) Every Developer · · Score: 1
    My experience is that most people that don't use IDEs just don't know how to use them.

    If I switch between branches or revisions (which I do often - git is so wonderful) then IDEs tend to go haywire as hundreds of files suddenly change, and then change again and again..

    This for instance is not something you do while the IDE is open. Debugging is also another area where the current crop of IDE's will be better. If you use STL or something similar it can show you the raw types or you can view them in a more meaningful manner, like being able to read a map or a vector as non-complicated data types.

  14. Re:Is VS2010 still slow? on Something For (Almost) Every Developer · · Score: 1

    For a developer, your question has very few details. Kind of like asking why does my program crash without any details.

    Anyways, post some details.

    Unfamiliar with grabbing the platform SDK are we? Grabbing that is free and can be used on older versions of the IDE.

    Downloading music does not currently get added to the music library for playback. Editing documents is said to have similar issues.

    The iPad is said to print through a computer and not on its own.

    Some NAS drives work through web interfaces, but then you can't upload with the iPhone OS.

  20. Re:Why did they not wait for 4.0? on iPad Progress Report · · Score: 1

    This sounds like the kind of giant pay-to-beta-test sort of thing that Apple is known for NOT doing

    Actually this is par for the course. iPhone 1.0, OSX 10.0, iPod 1.0, etc. They all were beta sold as release.

    These days a lot of that happens to keep yields higher. They take chips where one part doesn't meet their standards and disable then, then sell it for a discount. Reduce, reuse, recycle or something. Where do you think AMD tri-cores came from?
