  1. Re:Silverwhat? on Microsoft Celebrates Feynman 50-year Anniversary · · Score: 3, Informative

    If you are seriously bothered about those things and Moonlight, you should also concern yourself with javascript, it's under the same license.

  2. Re:Not the first concession for adobe. on Adobe Adopts HTTP Live Streaming For iOS · · Score: 1

    Playing audio quickly and consistently in browsers is still something Flash is better at. Animating sequences, interactive content, and playing video (at least on Windows) are all still better in Flash. Things like HTML5 / javascript / svg might take over, but that's still in the future.

  3. Re:And In Other News on Mono Comes To Android · · Score: 2

    Wouldn't they have already done this with iPhone? Unity, which makes up a fair number of games on iPhone, uses Mono.

  4. Re:USA #1 on AT&T Cracking Down On Unofficial iPhone Tethering · · Score: 1

    I don't pay extra for tether, but then again, I'm in a sweet grandfathered plan and have been upgrading my phones without contracts.

  5. Re:Why doesn't DJVU format get more press? on New Adobe Flash 0-Day · · Score: 1

    I also found the PDF readers were better than the djvu readers I found. Probably has to do with like you said, PDF being around longer.

  6. Re:A tie on web comparisons? Really? on Hands-on Face-off: IPad 2 V Motorola Xoom · · Score: 1

    One advantage I've noticed is there are a large number of Flash games that will work on mobile Flash. They get very popular, and thus they are remade for iOS and are sold for money. With Flash on your device you can play them for free, without you pay extra.

  7. Re:Firefox 4 on Investigating the Performance of Firefox 4 and IE9 · · Score: 1

    There's an extension that does just that. I was kind of annoyed by it too until I found it. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dneehabidhbfdiohdhbhjbbljobchgab

  8. Re:Apps or Platform? on Android Devices Are Hives of License Violations · · Score: 1

    The source was available about a week before the Xoom was. It really seemed like it was completed quickly and hardware distribution of course takes longer than software.

  9. Re:and XCODE is out for $4.95 ... yeah five bucks on IOS 4.3 Now Available For Download · · Score: 1

    That's.... weird. I can download XCode for free from the developer website. It would seem they are just selling the OSX version. Yet the one that I download from the developer site includes iOS & OSX. So confusing.

  10. Re:Apps or Platform? on Android Devices Are Hives of License Violations · · Score: 1

    Honeycomb became available before the Xoom was in stores.

  11. Re:feels hollow on AMD's New Flagship HD 6990 Tested · · Score: 1

    3 screens would be (3 * 1920) * 1080. So technically running at a much higher resolution.

  12. Obviously bored on GNOME To Lose Minimize, Maximize Buttons · · Score: 1

    Obviously some developers were bored and decided to do this instead of focusing on real bugs. Or there was a bug with it and they took the easy way out.

  13. Re:Why not Android? on Apple Negotiates For Unlimited iTunes Downloads · · Score: 1

    My wife who is very non-technical finds Android easier to use than the iPhone. I can't really get her to explain it though. A pity that, I'm truly interested in why. That knowledge could help me and others when making interfaces on phones.

  15. Re: Not enough on Hands On With Apple IPad 2 · · Score: 2

    Sorry, I should clarify. The rules for apps currently in the store don't get enforced until June. Sony's reader was also rejected already.

  16. Re: Not enough on Hands On With Apple IPad 2 · · Score: 1

    The rules don't get enforced until June. So really we're still a ways from seeing what will really happen.

    This might be a good website for you then. http://ninetynineproblems.com/

    Sometimes yes. You used to need a warrant for some things. Not so much any more.

    The Nexus S shipped with Gingerbread. The Nexus One got Gingerbread this past week.

  20. Re:Wear usage? on Intel Unveils SSDs With 6Gbit/Sec Throughput · · Score: 1

    This is why I believe in hybrid setups. The other replies to this are talking about mere millions of writes. Do you know how many writes the swap file gets every hour you use your computer? I too would be worried about a pure SSD setup. If you check out the how-to guides on installing SSD's in your machine, they almost all mention to set the swap on a non-SSD and to move your home directory off it too. (Home directory contains such things as temp web files!)

  21. Re:Am I reading this correctly? on Apple Asks Security Experts To Examine OS X Lion · · Score: 1

    Apparently Safari fails, which is still going to be stock?Now this was from 2010, so we don't know what's changed. So let's hope they figured it out this time.

    You can do that on either Android or iOS too. A phone with a keyboard might be more useful for it, however.
