Or have watched Apple's behaviour with browsers on iOS (yes I know about the Chrome, that's just a facade on top of safari's render and js engine).

In that case you are going to find that you quickly lose your best devs. I'm not saying that resume building should be even within the top 5 priorities, but you will want to at least keep it in the back of your mind. It's a bala

Perhaps your view of what's "mediocre" and what's a "gem" is not consistent with the views of Hacker News readers at large

Don't know anything about PhysX, but I'd imagine they would. I'd also imagine that they'll start building in support for their cloud based physics as used in the upcoming Crackdown 3

That deal is one of the most interesting, as it seems they've locked up not just streaming exclusivity, but all subscription services, meaning no HBO

On the flip side, if you were a customer and said developer was purposely scheduling unknown length tasks once every 10 minutes, knowing full well that this would happen, how long would you remain a customer?

Any particular reason for not liking Azure, or just taking out Monday morning frustration on the world?

It would be interesting to see what would happen if Facebook were to use this technology in their mobile app. I'd imagine that you'd be as close to saturation as your going to get.

Out of curiosity, how much does it typically cost to charge, say, an iPhone5? For some (many?) doubling this price might not be as much of a non-starter as you think.

The problem is that multiple changes we made at the same time in that school: 1) Giving Teaches more time for training and planing 2) Making students wear uniforms 3) Aligning the curriculum with more rigorous state standards 4) Drop the sp

it's unethical that the OP is financially rewarded for building something? Considering the affiliate links offer the exact same user experience as if they didn't use affiliate links, I find you comment perplexing.

While I'm sure it looks fantastic on a dedicated monitor/tv, it's lack of a responsive layout limits it's use in my books Looking at something like http://dash.social-biblio.ca/torontolibrary on a sub 1080p monitor is less than optimal.

I begrudgingly understand the delta in content from region to region due to licensing deals. But can anyone explain to me why they would do the same with functionality that wouldn't fall under any such licensing deals?

This has to be one of the biggest mistakes MS has made with Windows 8. They've added the store to (theoretically) make it simple to purchase and play games (and apps), but left out support that many people would prefer when playing these g

Ouya adds a couple of other requirements to the "will work with Ouya": 1) Controller Support 2) Must have at least a free demo, if not another free component. Also it looks like they won't be having the Play Store, meaning that for many (mo

However steam will continue to work just like it does now on the desktop. It's disingenuous for Gabe to talk about how much of a 'Catastrophe' Windows 8 is going to be or how touch screens are "Short-term" but leave out the fact that these

Which really does two things: 1) makes this drop completely meaningless as it could be 100% Windows mobile 2) makes you wonder just how low the WP7 numbers would be without Windows Mobile

This is different in that it's nothing to do with hardware. A super simple contrived example would be if someone builds a calculator using c++, you can't install it even though there is no hardware reason that you couldn't

To be fair, I certainly wouldn't call the other manufacturers offerings for Windows Phone to be exactly whole-hearted. Have we seen a single non-Nokia device that isn't a port of hardware used for their Android offerings?

While I certainly wouldn't call Nokia's position anything but worrisome, I think it might be a little early to start planning the funeral. One of the benefits Nokia has by going with Windows Phone is the relationship it now has with Microso
