I had an HTC Incredible that had a little touch nipple thing at the bottom-middle of the screen. It functioned like a Thinkpad nub and was pressable for a click. So far that is the best text selection method I have seen on a cell phone.

Those all seem like examples of the phone not being good enough.

I have used mutation observers to do exactly this. They are very simple to use.

Is this why most password entry forms in Android do not allow use of the Swype-type keyboard? I always thought that was strange. Now it makes more sense....backdooring

I've lived in houses before, stuff tends to break over time....keep that in mind. As long as more than $3600 worth of stuff doesn't break within 5 years you are good. Probably depends partially on the age of the house.

I agree with dungle6, whose comment is now dead. I say screw them and don't pay. Ignore collections for a few years and don't be a wuss about your credit score. Problem solved.

It seems very telling to me that the Standard Windows Desktop is generally considered a wasteland of discarded program and file icons, basically where you throw your digital trash...yet iOS decided that this was the design they wanted for t

That sounds ridiculous to me. Do you use a paper towel so that you don't have to touch the door handle on your way out of the bathroom, too?

I'm guessing that water in San Diego is the absolute stalest you can get in the US. The water San Diego receives is either piped over the mountains from Arizona or comes from way upstate...after Los Angeles has their pick. There is no

If people were at home when the quake struck it doesn't seem unlikely to me that only 1 in 100 would be in the immediate vicinity of their phone. (Maybe 1 in 100 is a strech, but 1 in 20?) Who carries their phone in their pocket at ho

I'm not sure if 'Surface Detail' is a book or a movie, but I assumed there was more to it than a two sentence description.

I'm not sure that an open source AI for air combat would get you very far...depending on the licensing terms.

All the figures I have seen have pointed to large increases in food prices. Where are they getting their figures that food prices have dropped?

Fingerprinting turned out to be one of the biggest crime-fighting tools of the 20th century. Does that debaffle it a bit?

Real estate prices are not solely a function of supply and demand. If the value of your money goes down, so too will the price of your house.

This reminds me of being forced to do math by hand in school, instead of using a calculator. Mostly this just left me with contempt for the teachers.

I have foobar2000 setup to track my plays for each song. It has an adjustable slider that I have set for 35%. Once 35% of the song has been played it increments the play count. It doesn't even need internet to do this! This stuff i

Even folks well versed in the English language have trouble defining the two words (ethics and morals) in relation to each other. I'm guessing the earth will melt first.

It doesn't surprise me that someone that would make a change like that would leave a comment like that. They removed a trailing space from a comment! They have plenty of free time to write witty check-in comments.

"thus I won't be wasting my limited time on this today" That seems debatable as you have taken the time to comment on this story multiple times. I guess we all have opinions though.

It used to be my job to pull data for a large state's prison population. I can tell you unequivocally that it is NOT rare for drug users to be imprisoned. In fact I can say with certainty that most of the people attending prison use
