If you didn't jailbreak beforehand and capture the SHSH blob, no, you can't. So for the vast majority of people who upgraded to iOS 6 there is no going back. http://blog.iphone-dev.org/ That's the cost of being inside a walled garden. You

I mostly agree with your message (intent) but you're using the wrong word, DRM, when you in fact meant Intellectual Property (IP).

Did they try stock Android, or devices with crap custom interfaces made by HTC and Samsung ? frankly, I wouldn't buy anything unless it has stock android, or let me root it and install stock android. I don't want TouchWiz or Sense. Having a

Android is the better OS. I sold my iPad 2 and bought the Nexus 7 on the same day and I regret nothing. The iPad mini would only kill the nexus for the apple fanboys.

"I think iOS is better than Android." That might've been true during the first few versions of Android but I don't think that's the case nowadays. I sold my iPad 2 and bought a Nexus 7 and I don't really miss anything. I certainly do NOT mi

I don't know about the others, because I mainly do photo stuff ( Darktable seems decent though, and it has a been a long time since I've run linux on my desktop computer so I don't know how far it went ), but the GIMP is NOT functional in a

by Nicole060 14y ago
Photoshop Elements is a < $100 package (you can get it for $60 on amazon.com) and it's still vastly superior to the GIMP since it supports some of the non destructive editing tools like Adjustment Layers : http://www.dummies.com/how-t

And my experience is that people who say the same thing as you do are ignorant who have never used either Photoshop, The GIMP or have no business using either and should stay with something like Picasa. For the record, The GIMP doesn't even

Yeah right. The iPhone is so obvious that your links shows a screen with scrollbars and I presume it worked the same way as it did on my godawful POS of a LG Prada : you probably had to hit the bars to scroll. Still I admit that Openmoko ha

You can't be serious. Samsung has a far better supply chain than Apple. In fact, Samsung IS PART of Apple's supply chain. But Samsung is not the kind of company that would take risks with a market and they'd rather ride on the coattails of

Funny, I never said they invented the capacitive touchscreen, but that's apple haters for you. What they did that no one else did before is to put the right gestures, the right UI, environment to make it work. I had a LG Prada, it had a cap

by Nicole060 14y ago
Are you saying there is nothing to patent about the implementation of gestures on your touchscreen, as opposed to hitting widgets like scrollbars ? You couldn't be more wrong. And people who cite things like the people who did multitouch wi

by Nicole060 14y ago
The LG Prada was so bad you had to use 2px scrollbars with your thumb to scroll down a list, like a contact list. It was like using Windows XP on earlier touch devices. I don't think making something like the Prada in 2008 would have helped

by Nicole060 14y ago
If it was so obvious then why did it take a company that had NO history in making cell phones to make a good one with a usable touchscreen and gestures ? Nokia couldn't do it. RIM couldn't do it. Samsung couldn't do it. LG couldn't do it. (

As someone who has owned a pre-iPhone phone with a touchscreen, and seen another one in the hand of a friend, no, what made the iPhone the iPhone is NOT obvious. For the love of god, my LG Prada was so shitty I had to hit a 2px scrollbar wi

Apple didn't invent touchscreens but.. I've seen two of the pre-iPhone touchscreen OSes without a sliding keyboard or anything like that and they both sucked hard. I owned a LG Prada and knew someone who owned a Samsung F490. They were both

Exactly. When it comes to the world of programming and IT, English is the lingua franca. I'm French but spend 99% of my time on the English-speaking web. The French edition of Google is only good at pissing me off.

I use Windows with an English localization and most of the software installers irk me to no end by defaulting to French because they don't rely on the system language but my location. I also hate the fact that I have to do something as cumb

This isn't about avoiding a challenge but about the comfort of using a modern language. Objective C still has you writing headers files for heaven's sake.
