This is exciting news. I'll probably end up with one of these as well as a Jolla (the Sailfish phone) in the near future.
Saw this posted by Mikko earlier. It's an interesting ploy, and I'm interested to see what comes of it. Specifically, I want to know whether the media, as it were, is going to be willing to propagate this sort of story,…
While that's a fair statement, an OS--mobile or otherwise--doesn't really need to be among the top few in terms of adoption to be valuable. Lots of people still use their N900 and N9 phones and want something to be a…
It's an interesting (read: niche) market, to be sure. It's the same market as someone who might buy 8 raspberry pi boards, or 4 ODroid U2 machines for the purpose of learning about parallel computation. The Epipchany…

Is this a limitation of Widgets, or of the status of Widget development, though? It seems to me that there's a LOT of untapped potential when it comes to widgets.
Anecdotal data, admittedly not perfectly analogous. I got serious about playing the game of go relatively late in life for a go player--I was 23 years old at the time. In 2 years of hard study (1~2h/day, and a bit more…
...Which they ought to do. Offering the ability to enumerate user accounts is unlikely to be the immediate goal of this utility, but it's an effect nonetheless.
A good portfolio can be created well before one goes into--let alone graduates--college. I understand the graphic design industry to be largely portfolio-driven, and it continues to confuse me that the IT industry isn't…
I lean pure CLI as well except on macs, which I use purely to try and maintain compatibility with as many Unixy OS variants as I can.
Just in case anyone isn't aware of the video to which you're referring: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYVCk10AzS0
I don't speak Swedish and I'm considering using it out of spite.
Order of installation on new macs: Quicksilver. Brew. Tmux. JewelryBox. Lazy package maintainers have created the perfect atmosphere for a project like rvm to be an essential part of life.
I think it's probably marginally better than linking the Expect site proper, since it provides decent context.
It's a really useful tool that has a surprisingly small amount of awareness.
Shameless plug: I built a small library to provide more Expect-like features in Ruby, since I didn't care for the interfaces exposed, for application development. Presently works on Linux and OS X for 1.9.3, and Linux…

I love my N900! It's on my shelf as a backup phone. Ours aren't all that uncommon in terms of Maemo users' stories, as I understand it.
The parallax effect on the final page was a nice touch. This makes me want to visit Austria (and Vienna in particular) sometime soon.

I don't think so, personally. Skype just adds yet another factor to work against them.

Indeed. Either that or consider it a rental--because that's all it really is.
