I'm one of the few non-programmers here, and I figured this would be a good place to ask: Right now, few applications are coded to utilize so many cores. Is this simply a matter of programmers transitioning to coding for multi-core comput

This is probably because it's not shipping yet. They are still selling the older model in the store. It'll probably get a "Now Shipping" front page spot when the time comes.

Not really. I've had a slight interest in programming for years, but I'm more interested in design. I'd like to develop an iPhone game, but I don't think I have enough motivation or focus to make it up the steep learning curve. I made a P

Nope. I'm a web designer and I have some interest in programing, but all I know is a little Actionscript. I come here for the high quality discussion on the articles I do understand, and I read the occasional programming story just to see

I have been getting messages that say "Reddit is currently under heavy load. Please try again later." or something to that effect. I'm pretty sure they are just having trouble dealing with the level of traffic they're getting.

I sort of thing that if the keyboard was going to disappear completely any time soon (~10 years), it would've disappeared already. We have a lot of different technologies for text input these days, but I don't feel like any of them would b

If everything goes well, he won't have to teach you much at all. That's the exciting thing about the direction the iPad is bringing computing; it's very capable, but at the same time, there's not that much to learn.

My guess is they're going to announce they started putting a coating on new phones to fix the issue, and will offer free exchanges or cases to existing iPhone 4 customers. *Either that, or Jobs is going to come out on stage and give a demon

I've got a 2560x1600 monitor, and honestly, the 4k video looked worse to me than 1080p. Blocky all over the place. If they can't raise the bitrate on the 4k videos, there's really no point to it.

How is losses per unit sold relevant to anything? Overall profits or losses are what matter. I don't know how much Microsoft made off each one, so I'll be generous and guess $400 average revenue after subsidy payments. 1,000,000,000 - ($4

I have one. I recently moved to an area with very poor AT&T coverage. I am under contract with AT&T, and I wasn't pleased with the prospect of having to go outside every time I wanted to make or receive a phone call from my house,

It's Flash. Easy way to check, by the way, is to right click on it. If it's Flash it'll say "About Adobe Flash Player 10".

I wasn't expecting this to really hold my attention, but I ended up watching for 25 minutes the first time I tried it. I just hope they add a way to add videos to the favorites and view the original youtube page for a video. Also a bit ann

I agree. Native apps are great if you have some features you want to implement that aren't practical in a web app, but I can't think of any case where a website with a native app for mobile devices has any good excuse not to also have a we

The 3G dock might be different than the 2G dock. I've seen several confirmations that it works in the 2G dock but none for the 3G dock. That said, this article seems to have more completely false bits than correct information, so I wouldn't

Well that's a bit of a relief. I thought they were actually charging $500 to unsuspecting account holders. You're right about people buying the app after it drops in price. When it was $500 it had two obviously fake 5/5 reviews. Now it h

Yesterday there was an app called "A mirror" at the top of the Top Grossing list selling for $499.99. The developer, SufPay, has no website listed and has only released one app. The app displays images of picture frames that are simply bla

I think you misread what I wrote. I was suggesting separate updates for the rendering engine to solve the problem of upgrade-averse users. Legacy applications would be accommodated by keeping older rendering engines running beside a newer

I would love this as much as any other web designer or developer, but sadly, it's just not feasible. The biggest problem with upgrades is that lots of companies rely on specific versions of specific browsers for in-house websites and web ap

I think the release of the bumper case is much more likely because the iPhone now has twice as many glass surfaces, and those glass surfaces are not guarded from direct impact by a metal bezel like on the previous iPhones. If Apple expecte

Maybe they will just start putting some clear finish over iPhones from the factory to fix the issue.

The entire point of my suggestion is that a newer browser doesn't need to break compatibility with older browsers to allow people to stop supporting them. Backwards compatibility makes it possible for Microsoft to do a forced upgrade wit

Why would IT departments be pissed off if IE9 was fully backwards compatible? Honest question.

by zweben 16y ago
What's frustrating to me is that they could fix the problem of high usage of old IE versions. They just seem to be unwilling to. They could add in IE7's and IE8's rendering engines into IE9 as compatibility modes, push out IE9 as a force

Apple policies are not 'harmful' to general consumers. They're unappealing to certain tech-savvy consumers, but those people are a niche. The average phone buyer has priorities more in line with what a curated app store provides, and that

iOS asks you each time though. So Apple is erring on the side of caution, if anything.

The way they have things set up, it's going to be hard for them to keep their generous deal with AT&T intact while opening the iPhone up to other carriers. The second the iPhone is available elsewhere, Apple loses a lot of the leverage
