    It's a bit like the early 90's.
    I had almost everyone's telephone number memorized, then cellphones got popular and slowly I forgot everyone's telephone number as they were now coded into my cellphone.

    I suspect something similar is at play here.
    People* don't really remember full urls any more, they just search for the closest and Google sorts the rest.

    * When I say people, I mean the general public.

  4. Still waiting for S3 Mini Stable on Android 4.3 Based CyanogenMod 10.2 Nightlies Arrive · · Score: 1

    When I read this story, I immediately checked if they finally made a CM for Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini, but alas they haven't.
    According to what I can find, there should be a very early alpha around, but certain important things are still not working in that build.

    However, someone made a custom CM build from that alpha build, that should work.

    I just don't feel like messing around with my phone with a custom-custom ROM.

    Hopefully CM will release a stable CM for SGS3 Mini soon(tm), as I grew quite fond of CM on my HTC Desire, which prolonged the life of it substantially.
    Only replaced it when I had enough of the extremely low internal memory.

  5. Dinosaur couldn't fly on Dinosaur Brains Flight-Ready Long Before They Took To the Air · · Score: 1

    I seem to remember being taught there weren't any flying dinosaurs.
    Pterodactyl, Pteranodon, etc, weren't dinosaurs, they were reptiles.

    Never studied it intensely, so it could be a matter of details though.

  7. Re:Pebble watch is another example on The Dangers of Beating Your Kickstarter Goal · · Score: 1

    My primary beef with the Pebble campaign, is the fact they are shipping to retail before they are shipping to backers.
    What's up with that?

    I put my money on "AGENT Smartwatch" instead.

    You don't, and yes.

    I don't know what to think about it myself really.
    I rarely play online on my console, so a non-issue for me.

    However, look at what you get for the subscription fee.
    You get free games and discounts on other games.

    And as far as I'm aware, no advertising (except for their own stuff ofc)

    It's a PC (x86 CPU), I doubt it gonna be long before it's hacked to oblivion and you can unlock it all you want.

    I really don't see the issue here, the campaign is standalone singleplayer missions.

    They removed that in one of the first patches.

  19. Re:Why? on Google's Nexus 4, 7, 10 Strategy: Openness At All Costs · · Score: 2

    There is a few good 4" android phones.
    Most of them spotting a dual core, which is sufficient.

    You probably won't find a quad core 4", but do you really need it?
    Take a look at these phones, as an example:

    Sony Xperia P
    HTC Desire X
    Samsung Galaxy SIII Mini (coming soon)

    All phones running 4.x, with a dual core 1Ghz+.

    Though, most of them DO have "poor" resolution, compared to their big brothers.
    Not that that really bothers me, but it seemed a concern of yours.

    Personally I refuse to go above 4" on my phone.
    Currently waiting for SGSIII Mini to hit the market, unless something better hits first.
