Users: Wow, android is neat, but why is the interface performance so crappy? Google: silence Users: Hmm, I bet it's X, because of ____. Google: No, no, X in android is great, it's awesome, and even if it weren't awesome…
IBM 700T
The article begins by taking pot shots at Americans. Classy. Following that, the article only presents statistics in the particular way that shows Australia as leading, while leaving the other ways unsaid. First it…
Ah, the march of technology busily grinding the concept of intellectual property into dust. Glorious. Imagine if every patent troll was greeted by thousands of citations of previous use?
Incorrect. Once capacitive screens that could detect a finger were invented, they were immediately incorporated into tablet PCs. Many tablets incorporated an active digitizer underneath a resistive one, allowing both…
You can add to that the Uren V1, the Samsung Q1, the i7210, the HTC Advantage, the Samsung Mondi, and the W1090, just for starters. Apple did absolutely nothing when it came to device innovation, they just made…
By those standards Apple ripped off 50% of the UMPCs ever made along with quite a few tablet PCs and PDAs. (Cue poorly-drawn comic of Bill Gates hurling a TC1100 through Apple's front window.)
I'm disappointed. Hyneman especially should have recognized the danger of combining energy levels like those with the elastic properties of a cast iron ball. If the firing range was within five miles of inhabited area,…
There are only two websites which I endorse enough to whitelist them in my adblockers. It's a case of having a finer control over the behavior of your web browser. Once upon a time, you had only rudimentary control, and…
Myths about the feasibility of reducing the spectrum of human personality into a binary value.
Is it just me or does this patent appear to be describing someone using a mouth to send a verbal order to an ear, which is processed by a brain, with the resulting sequence of actions being held in a thought. Doesn't…
Why would I use 8.0 and spend time and effort turning it back into 3.6, when 3.6 already does everything I want or need it to?
- When you're in a bandwidth-limited situation like browsing over a tethered phone - When you're using an access point operated by someone you don't trust - When you want the best performance out of your system but need…
I just tried it. Guess what? The interface is still broken. You look at the page contents constantly, at tab names often, at the bookmarks toolbar sometimes, at the URL occasionally, and you almost never look at the…
Never before have I read an article and been greeted by the mental image of a vein bursting in my brain, the blood spewing out of my eye sockets, forming itself into an axe, and traveling through a magic portal to…
Problem is, that's exactly how the human brain interprets real-life people, too. You can call it the Monkeysphere or Dunbar's Number, but fact is that people are incapable of conceptualizing random strangers on anything…
If I hadn't had a family member willing to give up their upgrade for me, I would be locked into a phone running 1.6 until May 2012, one which has no custom ROMs.
The non-smoothness of android interfaces is a gigantic hulking monstrosity of an issue. I deal with it dozens of times a day, and have been for years now on multiple phones. It is the sole reason why anyone cares…
When I opened the link I thought it was a domain squatter. Wow.
Thank you. Every six months some school or company has some miraculous super-battery that somehow never goes anywhere. I'm not reading any more of these stories until they include the words "Consumer Electronics Show."
So, in summary, "We have hardware acceleration, have had it for a long time, but it isn't the reason android interfaces are almost universally clunky. We actually have no idea why that is." I don't use any apple…
Every single app review says their phone was clean. That makes me think this app is less detector and more placebo.
I would be wary of anyone calling him/herself a "web security expert" who tolerates a presence on multiple social networking sites. It speaks of a mindset not nearly paranoid enough.
If you actually wanted this, you could just spend five dollars on a gameboy printer off ebay and make the exact same printouts.
I'm uninterested in anyone's apology after they've been caught. If I'm convicted of a crime, I go to jail. No matter what comes out of Zuckerberg's mouth, anything less than people behind bars is a perversion of justice.
