It's reasons like this that keep me from using Lion on Mac. Not specifically hot corners since I don't use those but design choices. Designs that work on tablets *break* multi-screen setups. I don't mean they don't work right, or they're a little clunky, I mean they're un-usable at best and at worst break core…

the windows key opens the start menu which is gone along with the button... the windows key brings up metro which replaces the start menu...

windows key doesn't function as usual. The windows key was tied functionally to the start menu and the start menu is gone, thus the windows key is totally different.

Yes, This, point for point.

I'm very tempted by this except that installing the android dev stuff was a big enough PITA without now having to cram a BB layer and plugin on top of it... I think even sadder than giving away free playbooks in a "please for the love of god we need help" attempt is that cheap devs like me STILL aren't willing to even…

All true. Thinking any platform is perfect is just blind faith, they all have problems, pick the one you can live with.

Talks have been ongoing for literally decades now on various topics without any progress... actions are a last resort before blowing stuff up because you can't take it any more. It's not like no one tried... I would vastly prefer a peaceful solution as would any sane person, but if a country is threatening to start…

Maybe the day of the ocean liner for trans oceanic travel is coming back...

Do they require exclusivity from the publisher? I haven't kept up with it but that doesn't sound right since the authoring tools expressly export to PDF and a number of other things to make the content easy to distribute through other methods... Keep in mind the costs of publishing traditional text books and it would…

If norton isn't impacting your system performance then it's not running... to do something it has to do something, which means resources are being used for norton. That's not to say it has to grind your system to a halt, that's depending on how much extra processing time, etc. available beyond what norton is sucking…

I haven't noticed any google+ junk... but then I don't use google+... seems to me if you use google plus you probably want google+ stuff... (just like if you use facebook chances are you want facebook stuff) and if you value your privacy over a time sink then you're in the same boat you've always been in (outcast but…

Real world problem: Not in the slightest. You would have to go out of your way to miss-set your date, which involves turning off time sync (which is on by default). Maybe if it's not timezone safe, and you have your phone set to automatically to the current time zone, and you travel far enough in the right direction…

When the car is placed on the track it sticks to the glove then falls back in place and lands as if landing on a brick... Still neat though.

Speaking as a developer: no. They're not going to sell hardly any of these (as no one has sold any of the other myriad of devices like this, better or worse). It will take time to integrate it that I can't afford. They're not going to send me a dev unit so even if I wanted to integrate it I couldn't test it without…

Query: What is this chart based on? Top what? Sales of devices, usage volume, web browsing, content purchase? is it only smart phones or is it features phones as well? Is it localized or world wide? context is more important than the data, not less...

Speculation:

You learn

If you pay a credit card off every month you don't get charged interest. If you have a card that's halfway decent there's no annual fee, and you get some sort of a return on what you spend on it... the end result is if you know how to not spend more than you actually have (you know, like if you were using cash and…

So, as I often afk, why would I want to be involved in any sort of social media thing? There seems to be no real benefit, only risks, time sinks and distractions from more important things in life. The only real benefit of logging everything in your life over just letting it flow through say, a real conversation, is…

Is this a stab at Apple, who sued, or HTC who didn't innovate (they violated a patent meaning they just up and took it rather than comming up with something new which is what they're doing now...)
