I read that, and it absolutely does not try to make the point that indentation is a curse. Maybe it is to some (not to me!), but you would need to cite something else. This is just an explanation of how it works.

Is that a problem in any other watch? Left or right wrist, the 12 stays on top. Only the button is on the other side. Besides that: don't count on it. If you pay close attention, you see that the bottom part of the round screen stays b

When I was considering a similar scenario, I looked at the airports around there and found Kota Bharu to be much closer. The runway may not be similar in length, but if your plane is on fire, you would not be picky. It is at least 200km clo

I think the request for proof lies with something that claims to have a certain effect or benefit. On the other hand, it has been proven that taking breaks can enhance concentration and endurance. Meditation should be no exception.

The advantage should be more in user experience, since this would essentially put a halt to bundled crapware. People who are willing to move to "Developer mode" will not be the people who will be confused in any way.

I cannot avoid generalizations in answering this and I am pretty sure any Turk would be more qualified to answer, but there it goes: I don't think the political movements are really defined by views on foreign policy. Notable exception

Forgive me for calling out your comment shallow. As a former Turkish resident, I did try and make an effort in reading up and understanding about Turkey. While it is not fair to say I have no idea about Turkish history, I might have missed

>> I'm not sure what you mean by that. It's not very easy to criticize something/someone in Turkey without being called names (depending on your view), but Kemalists are usually cool with criticisms as long as you'

Relation status: It's complicated. They pushed for EU membership when their economy was in shambles. It seemed like an economic necessity for which they were (sort of) willing to make changes. The opinions within the EU itself were alw

I lived in Turkey (Istanbul) for one year, made some good friends and was active in the Gezi Park protests. While the country is now highly polarized, all sides have some things in common which help explain these measures. Turks typically h

That is not the definition of death that the article uses. He argues that Microsoft died as a monopolist, as the bully of the schoolyard. DEC and Sun never had that position to lose. IBM did, but now I keep paraphrasing the article. Read it

Too bad they dont break down the 'other' category. It has doubled YoY and now constitutes 10% of the income. It should be iinteresting to find out how many Google Apps clients there are. Or how much the Play Market grosses. Althou

On a more general note, I enjoy reading these post-mortems. Not out of a wry malicious pleasure, but it is certainly a learning experience. Is there some place where these are gathered for common benefit? Maybe get into more depth with inte
