    WTF are you talking? Qt use the native style APIs of the different platforms to query metrics and draw most controls. On some platforms (such as MeeGo and KDE) Qt is the native API.

  6. Re:Downside on Apple Holds Firm As Publishers Settle With DoJ Over e-Book Pricing · · Score: 1

    On the other hand, given the egregious awards for downloading just a few movies or songs - imagine the financial penalty for a collection of a thousand books.

    Everyone is just lucky the book industry is not going after pirates the same way the music industry has.

    Yeah, that worked out so well for the music industry

    https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=chromebook_acer_c710

    Although I prefer the $249 one because it has no moving parts .No Hard-disk (SSD only) and no fans (passive cooling). Its the only laptop which I can use on my laps without burning my family jewels

  14. Suck to be Nokia but good for rest of us on Microsoft-Built Smartphone Could Irritate Hardware Partners, Harm Nokia · · Score: 1

    While it may be a net loss for Nokia (they have no one but themselves to blame), it will be good for consumers. Consumers need a third ecosystem, especially since WebOS is dead and BB10 looks uncertain. From what I have read, it seems like Microsoft might try out Chinese market first before launching in USA

    The last OS based on HTML (WebKit to be more specific) was WebOS, and was deemed slow because of that http://nyti.ms/KOMpBx. Wouldnt a HTML5 based OS face the same hurdles?
