I believe this to be a misunderstanding of the press out for W8. They are simply promoting the fact that you can now have HTML+JS+CSS as first-class apps. They don't seem to be deprecating support for native or .NET…
Yes, although it isn't the fastest possible. I don't notice a huge difference between the SSD in the primary PC and my 10k RPM Raptor I used to have as the OS disk. I am not aware of the specs of the SSD in the Macbook.…
I have had my new Macbook Air for about 3 weeks now, I am primarily a Windows developer. Let me tell you something, after 3 weeks with Lion (with VMWare Fusion for Visual Studio) I am fairly positive I will never buy or…
Interesting header, but why would anyone want to cause someone else so much trouble trying to release a product?
I sincerely did not know about the tree-style tabbed browsing feature. I attribute this to my initial apprehension in adopting tabbed browsing to begin with, thanks for the info! I also think this has a lot to do with…
I could understand a tree-style view to help categorize, I will have to check that out as it sounds very nice. I was asking from a perspective of standard tabbed browsing that doesn't have a form of organization like…
Do you find it a normal use-case to have 40+ tabs open in a single browser window? I only ask because that seems like it becomes unusable ~20 tabs, maybe this is heavily subjective but I cannot maintain anywhere near…

I have never once gotten the browser version to work on my Chromebook.
This is just a side note, but how many non-tablet devices do you see sporting Android or BlackBerry OS? Just saying in this case comparing only within the confines of the phone market share makes perfect sense.
I didn't downvote, but I would like to know the difference between an "Average User" and a "Somewhat Technical User" in the context of the StackOverflow community?
Alternatively, if you just want the content.. Right Click -> View Source
He said he's been using Visual Studio for 5+ years, not Windows 7.
You are correct, it is different. IP Geo-Location is a hack for when GPS Location and uniqueID aren't available, so the prudent choice to gain accurate analytic info would be to use the most accurate. Especially if you…
No, no it isn't.
Well it's similar in the fact that they both search data on the device.. But gestures is an application to access the index using quick, simple gestures instead of typing. If you want to search using a keyboard (the…
I doubleclick text and blank areas constantly I realize this probably drives people insane, but while I'm reading a paragraph I will keep doubleclicking to select and deselect the text over and over. Somehow it helps my…
The site and the god awful grid background image (appears on doubleclick) was enough to inspire me to make a new bookmarklet. My first impression, article aside, was that the site made baby Jesus cry. Edit: In…
It sounds like they are taking the case from single phone and trying to create a pandemic.. I didn't notice anywhere in the article where they cared to test more than one phone or do any random sampling. Way to blow…
This seems ridiculous to me, it's almost as if the thought of using say... some sort of User-Agent to identify and differentiate the experience of the software is just well too simple to consider?
Such constant extreme unfounded evangelism for Apple is making it very difficult to extract any true insight from John Gruber's "articles".

Well can you blame Apple?.. they didn't want to have their infallible image tarnished by having an top ADC app advertising that it was designed for a competing platform. [/sarcasm] Boo
I'm glad someone else shared my opinion, I found "Apple quickly realized that apps would one day overtake .coms." to be a particularly absurd thing to say. When placed in context of the entire article it made more sense…
I would tend to agree, but it might be unfair, I have a bias towards HTC because of their overall high level of quality. Bias aside, they seem to be very committed to the nature of AOSP and they also seem motivated to…
