Check again - this isn't independent OLED key screens like the Optimus was/is. It's a single, plain LCD underneath some hard plastic keys with a window in the right place.

I don't know about others, but we put all our iSCSI stuff on a physically disparate network, separate NICs, separate switches. Doesn't help if someone has physical access to the datacenter, but that's a given.

It's a SAN device with a ton of drive bays. We've got a few and they seem pretty speedy, haven't had an issue with them. I'm already investigating what generation we have - but I'm almost certain our initial setup on at least one was using

My favorite part is where they threw it all out, reset to 2003 codebase, and started from scratch basically, 18ish months before release.[1] So from a technical standpoint, Vista took longer [5 years] and had less development time [under 2

I use tasker to emulate a feature that Apple devices have: separate volume levels for speaker and headphones (not sure why Android doesn't already have that). Set a task that runs when headphones are plugged to set the media volume to x, an

More interestingly, he(Martin Kool) wrote an interpreter for the old Sierra adventure games engines. Notably the engines use GOTO statements which javascript doesn't have an analog of, so they compile the entire thing into a giant switch-ca

I sadly feel we'll never have cars that drive themselves. The first time, ever, one crashes, regardless of the circumstances: "COMPUTER DRIVEN CAR DEATH! DO COMPUTER CARS MAKE YOU UNSAFE?" is shouted from the media rooftops, citizens get

It certainly doesn't help the cause to come off as a crazy timecube looking website.

Will someone please release an API so I can write a printer driver and we can print directly to our ebook readers already? The APIs that have been available so far (AFAIK - someone please correct me) for any of the readers have been lacklus

Actually, I like it. API seems simple too. I have a forum where I like to go through every single new post; would be useful for this (right now my solution is middle clicking a ton of tiny "arrow representing updated posts" images). Definit

Same exact thing in Opera. Private browsing is per-tab, cookies are separate per private tab (so multiple accounts into gmail is okay). You can open private tabs right next to regular, they don't live in another window (as Chrome enforces).

Your iPhone's processor may have a larger number representing its clock, but your laptop's processor is likely much faster. You can't compare different CPU architectures by the number of hz. Desktop (=laptop in this case) processors are o

This person's experience is completely the opposite of what I've seen on my own N1, though to be honest I don't watch many flash videos on my phone. Strongbad episodes and casual flash games run perfectly. The small amount of video I have t

Love the idea. The website needs work though - it has a creepy 'designed in 1996' vibe. I signed up, why not?

It's hard to describe exactly what PyPy does, but it's more of a JIT / interpreter generator. You write a language using RPython (which is more static than regular python), and PyPy makes a VM for it, or can turn it into C, or CIL, or... Py

He's teaching C there, not C++ (though that'll happen eventually). It's the first tutorial that caused me to finally "get" C.* *After the moment of clarity, I mostly thought "Oh, that's all? It's not complicated at all!" This applies to man

Another point is that the Market application is Google proprietary - when you grab the AOSP source, you don't get the Google apps (Maps, Market, etc.) Android is open source and manufacturers can use it without the consent of Google, but to

I do exactly the same thing. So many projects I've finished to 80%, because I got the thing I set out to do achieved. That final 20% is documenting, finishing a UI, etc - and I'm not forcing myself to do (in my mind, the difficulty level) t

Can you illustrate what you're talking about? I'll see if I can youtube someone playing with an N900.. It sounds like you simply tap anywhere but the dialog and it's "canceled"?
