    Maybe they're wearing an invisible bicycle helmet. Think such a thing doesn't exist? Well think again: http://www.hovding.com/en/how/

    I suppose it's Nintendo only at the author's home, then.

    Well then that's bad intended behaviour. The back button should reverse the loading of a new page after clicking a link. It should not interfere with scrolling at all.

    This breaks the back-button for me, despite the author claiming otherwise. Steps to replicate: 1. Visit article 2. Click on logo to go to the home page 3. Scroll down until more co…

    The difference is of course: with Apple, rooting a device is not an officially sanctioned thing to do. With Google, it is.

    Well, democracy is not everything. If the majority of the electorate wants to fight wars, or repress a certain minority, then you've still got a problem there.

    What about people outside the US? Before Apple, the FBI couldn't track them. Now that the phones are sending their gps tracks home every 12 hours, they probably can...

    Does it use military mode (the one that is even more precise than regular GPS)? Now that would be great reverse engineering project :) Where was the GPS receiver mounted? These thi…

    It doesn't for me. I have to click on the page first to make them work. OS X 10.6.7 / Safari 5.0.5 here (basically the newest thing you can get from Apple).

    I often scroll down using space or the pagedown key. This has worked with every webpage I've encountered so far. While I don't care about the styling, every single linked example o…

    "not permitted to publicly link a UDID to a user account"? Really? But that's exactly what Plus+ is doing: Register in Plus+ game 1, then open Plus+ game 2 and it promptly recogniz…

    Exactly, many people cannot differentiate front/back and up/down with general purpose HRTF, something that is much better with a custom HRTF. For basic experiments, put 2 small mic…

    I agree. Here's a crazy idea: App creators are limiting themselves. They don't think in the big picture. They play it save. All because previous App denials have made it terribly e…

    Yes. A custom HRTF makes all the difference between "hey this is kinda cool" and "holy guacamole I can locate everything down to a tee".

    Yes, I've tried Papa Sangre. Unfortunately, it uses a general purpose HRTF, which limits the immersion potential.

    Great stuff. Without correct speaker positioning and well-matching HRTFs for each listener, I feel that this won't fly. Btw: I'm thinking about creating a 3D audio game where the H…

    Right now it's at a balance (169/169 points). I'd be interesting to see how this changes over time. We need to do such a poll every 6 months, somebody mark their agenda.

    I enabled it as well. App store doesn't hang, but is much slower: downloading an app normally starts after 1 second, with the fix enabled it takes 8s to even start. LoginWindow sle…
