Thankfully this also included a new Linux driver. The current one was many months old. Hopefully there are some good improvements! http://support.amd.com/en-us/k...
GWT has been open sourced. I am hopeful that this can only be a good thing. There is still at least as much activity on the project as when it was not open source. The 2.6.0 RC1 release notes look great. Just recently a Google employee was working on a bug I was tracking. And there's the GWT Create conference coming up.
I was worried about GWT when I saw Dart coming up and getting attention, because I've enjoyed writing apps in GWT, and would like it to continue to be an option when we're scoping new projects. So far what I'm seeing from the new status of the project is helping to keep my confidence.
They removed Gears from this release. I have an app that has a full offline mode and relies on Gears; as a band-aid fix yesterday I had to downgrade a user to Chrome 11 that had automatically updated. I know, I need to get with the times and port my code to HTML 5. Even more so, as Gears only supports Firefox up to 3.6, and IE up to 8.
Hulu's service detects bandwidth and will auto-adjust the video quality while a video is playing. I've seen it go from 720p to 288p, then to 480p, as the poor connection I was on fluctuated. It was a seamless experience.
The absence of Silverlight is the exact reason I opened this story. Unfortunately, I don't have the option to use Silverlight on my devices. I'd be a Netflix subscriber if I could. I've seen plenty of comments above (especially the per movie rental cost) that are good reasons to not sign up for this, but not using Silverlight is definitely not one of them, in my opinion.
You just helped me realize, I think it's funny that someone creates an app for an online publication, when a website would do just as well. The web is a fine publishing platform. I've yet to get caught up in the whole 'app' fad, though. The most used apps on my phone are the ones it came with (mail, calendar, web, navigation, etc).
Like you almost said in the end.. research some managed service providers (MSPs) and outsource your IT staffing/infrastructure/planning needs to them:)
(Note: the title of the first article is misleading; according to the article, Apple as a single hardware vendor is in the lead, but Android as an OS has twice the market share as iOS)
I think some of those phones still on 1.6 don't have the hardware features to support 2.0; navigation is a good example. Apps that rely on those hardware features would be useless anyways. Maybe not the only reason, but it is one as far as I know.

Nope, not crap.
Putting a Powerwall in every home should help.
I prefer to leave the business logic in the business layer. Separation of concerns, easier to scale, etc.
Ah, but the question was regarding the capital of the 'country', so Washington DC should be correct?

GWT also gets some Spring Roo love.
Oh I see you did mention it :)

Got my answer this morning on the mailing list:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidLynx/ReleaseNotes/FirefoxRapidReleaseMigration
'Starting on January 17, Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Ubuntu 10.10 users will be migrated to the latest Firefox version...'
I wonder what version Ubuntu 10.04 LTS will move to? It's still on FF 3.6. There's just over a year of support left for the desktop LTS version.
Thanks for the heads up!

In one of the later Foundation novels, he described data CDs/DVDs quite well.
Oops, wrong article. Here's one that mentions reports of dual-mode screens.
The article said it would likely be able to switch between e-ink and back-lit.
Got it thanks!!
I'd appreciate an invite; joseph.dunnigan (gmail) Thank you!

The Unigine tech demos look excellent, and have been used to showcase just what Linux gaming can look like.

Apple has a substantial lead?

As one example, I can still install UT2004 on Ubuntu 10.04 by simply running the provided installer executable.
