Microsoft assumed 3rd Place not that long ago, so no, BB isn't hanging on to anything but a thread at this point.

Difference is, it generally says, "Beta" right on the tin.

On #3, you want to ensure that the CSS is externalized and the class name non-obvious. The amount of additional processing power it'd take to surmount this (and the other methods) from a spammer's end at scale would be incredibly prohibitiv

A couple of ways I've handled the spam situation in the past: 1. Base64-encode your form field names and decode them server-side prior to processing, or... 2. Create one-time use field names using md5 hashes of random numbers, map them to t

Bigger question: How does Flash jive with responsive web design techniques, meant to provide one flexible interface for desktop and mobile form factors? Answer: It doesn't.

There's pros and cons to both systems; it's merely a preference of mine after having a mixture of both Android and webOS devices for a couple of years now.

Installed it on my 32GB Touchpad last night; here are my observations so far (YMMV). Pros: + It's an alpha, but impressively stable. No more than a couple force quits all night. No random reboots. + It feels a world faster than webOS alread

The Pre3 and the Touchpad are the right thing? They may have been the right thing in HP/Palm's eyes at the time, but they're dead now. Flatlined. Time to let go. I hope the hardware engineers land on their feet at other companies, but I

Which leads you to wonder...525 people were assigned to hardware development? Really?

SHOUTcast's recent week-long on and off outage and subsequent crippling of their APIs is evidence enough of how seriously (or lack thereof) they take some of their properties.

Anecdotally, webOS devs, given the low threshold of competition and influx of new Touchpad owners, are doing pretty fantastic sales right now. Good for a quick return at least. Since HP's also being charitable and giving away 6-packs of app

On webOS, there's already the PDK.

This was the tactic all along in theory; the idea that web developers could immediately leverage their existing skills into the mobile space. In reality, though, they never really focused on driving this point IMO, deferring to their own "w

You can already use jQuery, and you can package non-Enyo apps to submit and install as "native" already. A good number of both webOS 1.x, 2.x, and 3.x apps do this because of the familiarity.

- The Xoom and Droid commercials are nothing but derivative, dystopian futurist fluff, and the Verizon Android (read: non-Droid) commercials involving their retail outlets are seriously contrived crap speaking to easily-swayed lowest-common

The Pixi is nice as a form factor, but 1) it's incredibly old comparatively, and 2) will not officially run webOS 2.x, and especially 3.x. I know others who loved the form factor and feel of the Pixi; I'm hoping HP decides to throw them a b

WP7's suffering from its own developer adoption woes. The only problem with webOS' adoption, from my perspective as a webOS dev, has been marketing and hardware. Developing for webOS has been fun from Day One and continues to be nearly two

Having had a Pre since the day Sprint launched it in 2009, it's truly a hackerphone for those that want to customize their experience, and one of the primary reasons I've evangelized the platform and my experience developing for and tinkeri

You want to be working on current-gen hardware if you're baselining future development efforts at 2.x going forward. What you don't want to be using as your sole dev/test unit is a two year-old device using an unofficial workaround to get a

According to the HP webOS Developer Forums' Hardware Section, the offer's done. In fact, a lot of developers who took part are still waiting for theirs from back in February/March. The Pre 2 giveaway to developers really could have been exe
