Looks like that only works for 5GB files or less, which is a shame.

Rad! Haven't run across Archive Team before. Looking into them now.

Interesting - hadn't considered that possibility. Thanks! I'll look into it.

Seems reasonable, though given the size of the file I'm probably going to have to host it somewhere for seeding purposes rather than just parking it on my home fileserver (yay Comcast monopoly in my area).

If that were the case, how would the data input into your cell phone get stored on the card? I believe at a minimum Coin uses BLE to transmit card data from your phone to the device.

Seems like you've got a WAIS to go.

Thanks for clarifying! Makes sense.

Having spent a fair amount of time in PhoneGap, I recall one of the tricky bits of using stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString to call into JS land was that it could block, leading Apple to impose a 5 second timeout on that particular API

The accuracy is definitely a mixed blessing - interpolation, velocity awareness, and (screen-independent) gestures go a long way toward a good user experience.

The device can be positioned anywhere you like, but I'm guessing there's a definite learning period if you have it somewhere other than under your monitor (sort of like what I imagine Wacom users have the first time the use a scre

It's also possible that medical applications (and, by extension, deploying the hardware in a hospital) would require them to have a whole different set of dev, manufacturing, and QA procedures, much like flight control and other "

The replay button in the local web UI is enough to make this instantly useful. Thanks for building this.

What's the storage multiplier for TokuMX vs. straight mongodb? Will my total size on disk go up or down?

Is there a feature roadmap somewhere detailing what order these and other features will be added (actual schedule is great too!)?

The 16 hour talk time is in reference to the battery life of the phone, I'm guessing (the next bullet references 30 days' standby time).

Clearly an organization that values people skills.

Fascinating. A bit of digging suggests the founder, Ross Nochumowitz[1], has a second business as well: Big Boyz Bail Bonds[2] (note the identical avatars). He was CEO of the latter as recently as October[3]. Never having utilized the servi

It's viable. Drivers exist for most of the interesting storage engines you'd use for user records, leaderboards and the like. You'll need to pay attention to any server-side operations that require heavy CPU and ensure those tasks don't b

Found this[1] as well while poking about - fairly tall structure, unique curved shape, nothing but a road, some outbuildings and some antenna masts for miles in any direction. Thoughts on what it might be? [1] http://maps.google.com/maps?h

Great service - I've used it to build a modest application or two for Android and iOS. One caveat: Phonegap plugins that include native components (for example, the Facebook plugin) can't be included in apps built with Phonegap Build (yet

If the final versions aren’t available, Samsung wants “the most current version of each to be produced instead.” Given that Apple hasn't announced an iPad 3 or an iPhone 5, what are the odds they simply ship Samsung's lawyers an iPad 2 and
