I personally like Android Studio better than dealing with Xcode and their project and storyboard files. I don't think Xcode is designed well for small to medium teams -- having to merge those files is a "gruesome embarrassment&qu

You mean like using Android's SyncAdapter and setting inInexactRepeating()? Android has supported this basic type of background scheduling since the start of time. The main difference is that Android you can do more - which can be ab

Google bought Motorola for 12.5 billion and then sold off it's Home division for 2.3 billion. At the time of the purchase, Motorola had 2 billion in cash so in the end, Google probably paid 8 billion ish for Motorola. Considering tha

Is he serious? Ending a promotion which was stated as limited early due to overwhelming demand equates to getting your shit together? gruber needs to get his shit together and stop being a total biased ass.

Yes..this is exactly what I mean. If you don't want to be spammed from liking something, then don't allow the brands to reach out to users who liked their products. You can only do this with "follow." By this definition, brands won't tell

If you are constantly getting spammed by a fan page that you explicitly liked or followed , then the appropriate answer is to unlike or unfollow it. There's no reason to curate information that you wanted to get to begin with. What if T

They don't sell the phones so they don't know how many are sold. The only count they have is all the activations that are coming from every new phone. I don't think there can be a better measurement for them than this.

Andy Rubin: "...and for those wondering, we count each device only once (ie, we don't count re-sold devices), and "activations" means you go into a store, buy a device, put it on the network by subscribing to a wireless service." So it seem

Great analyst? He's basically an apple PR personnel. Most of his posts van be summed up into Apple can do no wrong. Anyone opposing apple is wrong and stupid. There is no logic. It's blatant and it's almost like he does it for page views

Android does have sandboxing and its much better in than iOS. Each app runs in its own VM instance and requests for permissions. Additionally each app can also call other apps via intents. This allows for great sandboxing and reutilization

I find most of the iOS5 additions taking an inspiration to how Android "improved" on the mobile space. So it's ok for Apple to do it then?

R&D != patents. The number of patents generated by a company is really based on the system employed within the company and not about how innovative the company is. Most software patents are bogus and if your company is set up with a gre

This is more of Android adapting well to society's needs. Isn't that what RIM and Nokia are trying to do? What's wrong with adapting to a new general idea on how to operate on a phone - from keyboard to more touchscreen?

Android was bought behind Eric Schmidt's back by Larry And Segery. Andy Rubin went and pitched it to them to buy Android. There is no proof that Eric Schmidt got insider information. Android had been in development for awhile and was only

Apple steals good ideas and improves upon them all the time. Does he have to hold such a grudge? A bit ridiculous and a bit petty.

You mean like all the areas that iOS (v4&5) is now copying or taking an inspiration from Android now?

Google Places is just another search engine but specifically for places (aka restaurants and stores). It used to be the case that it will aggregate all reviews from multiple review sites and show snippets of the reviews and then have a corr

Can the JooJoo Pad sue Apple for infringements? The bezel size, color, texture, and material are all the same. http://www.wired.com/images_blogs/gadgetlab/2009/12/main.jpg

I think JooJoo (aka CrunchPad) should sue Apple for design infringements. Clearly it came out before the iPad (JooJoo 2009, iPad 2010). When I see an iPad, I think of the JooJoo pad. It is rectangular; it has a bezel; and it's thin! Clea

Clearly indicated by others already, this is about the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and not phones. The Galaxy Tab 10.1 is very generic and the interface is pure honeycomb.

No..ppl believe any tablets are ipads since Apple was first to make the tablet popular. There are standard shapes and sizes for a lot of technologies.

by arron61 15y ago
This is ridiculous. They are suing over a rectangular shape and a certain size / weight? So I guess only Apple can make a thin tablet. Any other one will be an infringement... Can Ssamsung sue all other TV makers since they are all rectan

Eclipse is fine once you have the memory configured right and you turn off all the dumb validations and unnecessary checking.
