Has anyone tried Gimp for OS X? http://www.gimp.org/downloads/
The best mirror I could find (nyud.net and Google let me down): http://substancedigital.com/2012/10/21/nokias-price-for-excl...
Could you explain what you mean by "to a lesser extent Android"? Android lets apps add widgets to the home screen, replace the home screen, replace the browser, run arbitrary background tasks, and so forth. You can even…
You can turn the pages using the volume buttons (enabled from Settings on the home screen). I reallly love that feature.
This is one of the best critiques so far of the decision. There are two sides to this trial. On the one side is the emotional appeal: Samsung copied Apple, and documents detail the extent to which Samsung imitated the…

This article is missing a couple of facts: First, Apple has been designing its own "Ax" series of ARM chips with its purchase of PA Semi, currently with the A5/A5X. If Apple switched to an Intel chip, they would no…
I'm not quite sure what the issue is here. It turns out that the author modeled the domain incorrectly. At least that incorrect model is completely explicit in the code. If it weren't spelled out explicitly, the…
This was fun! (I only did the first two paragraphs.)
At runtime init, Go programs attempt to reserve 512mb of RAM. If they can’t do this, they crash. Go needs the space because it is garbage collected - presumably, all GC languages, or any program that takes a similar…
I was interested in his response to the question, "What you dislike the most about Lisp?" I must say that the lack of static typing really gets in the way on larger projects. Being able to confidently change datatypes…
Scott Aaronson recently wrote an informative article about his trip to D-Wave: http://www.scottaaronson.com/blog/?p=954 Most interesting to me: "Geordie presented graphs that showed D-Wave’s quantum annealer solving its…
Andy Hertzfeld used this same trick on the original Macintosh, in a move he called his "worst blunder": http://folklore.org/StoryView.py?project=Macintosh&story...
Nope, Apple had theirs behind glass as well. http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/video-iphone-in-person-be...
Actually, as an Ars commenter explains, Ars did kind of a bad job explaining NP. NP is the class of problems with an easily verified proof for existence, not the class of all exponentially solvable problems as they seem…
Gruber ignores the Droid, which has sold far more units than the N1, does not have the Pentile subpixel reduction, and has an 854x480 display. A 960x640 display would rock but given that the LCD is smaller than current…
Broadcast radio and television.
Don't be so sure that they don't have permission. Microsoft has implemented Tetris before: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Entertainment_Pack
You are arguing for a solution which works "99% of the time" and then argue that my solution does not work for programs which only leak on Thursdays. Smart pointers won't fix all your memory leaks either due to cyclic…
The best way to deal with exceptions is to disable them. Arbitrary interruptions of control flow will screw up just about any algorithm. Otherwise, you will have to reason about everything using RAII semantics, which…
