No need to! ObjC developers have soldiered on for years and years without such fanciness.

I think lots of video streaming is adaptive to bandwidth, and if you have an LTE connection that can handle HD video you'll get it. Still doesn't account for why the trend is suppo…

I wonder if you'd allow a pilot to use the term? They do much the same thing, of course they are actually physically present (miles above). They are, however, about as likely to be…

Yeah, but...it's a cool thing to see on a Saturday for those that haven't seen it before. :)

That language will be web, I suspect. Perhaps Google will offer prerolled components specifically for Android? I strongly suspect that Chrome is the platform Google wants to push f…

Why not? What if the apps are purchased seamlessly through the play store and can run on Android or in Chrome? I have a feeling they will add more and more Android device APIs to w…

It was down last night though, possibly related?

I've seen rms speak before, and one point he made really hit home. It is absolutely inexcusable for a school to teach using what is essentially a mystery black box. If a student wa…

Yep. Say what you will about Apple products, but it's no coincidence that professional audio applications are so much more prevalent on Apple products. Core Audio is a fantastic ba…

Not true. I live in Portland, and Alaska is the dominant airline here. I have flown with them over a dozen times, and never had a bad experience.

It's depressing how we are becoming numb to mass shootings due to their frequency. It seems like a week can't go by without a tragedy like this occurring.

I have a poli sci degree, about two years of CS at a community college. I am a techincal lead at post acquisition company, I started with them as an unpaid intern when the founders…

You are missing the real reason iPads sell well. "trendy, hip" is only part of it. Easy to use and simple is a much bigger part, and arguably contributes to "trendy, hip" more than…

The article doesn't detail their planning, goals, etc...but it seems to me like they went all in without a solid plan. Just hoping to get rich. And it didn't happen.

Gee, I wonder why he didn't mention the maps? Apple's devices are still more compelling for me personally, but less so than they used to me. Hopefully Google builds and maintains i…

It was pushed back from by end of 2012 to "sometime in 2013". And with Intel and Co's record I would not remain hopeful.

This will improve my life I think, installing now and thank you!

> I think almost all brand name tablets are on ICS now. I thought so too. Some are. Shockingly enough, I believe the Samsung tabs they gave out last year at I/O are still on 3.x. T…

App and API compatability. New apps using iOS 6 APIs will still run.

That was narrow minded. You know it's possible to be a developer and never touch a web app stack professionally, right? Let alone the One True Language that is Ruby.

Hopefully university CS courses will stop utilizing Visual Studio now.

If this stuff interests you, I highly recommend David Mindell's Digital Apollo.

I hope Netflix's original content gets good/becomes a large enough library to threaten HBO. They would offer subscriptions over apps, set top boxes, and maybe even browsers shortly…

The problem is the human element. If you are doing something that can in some way be construed as going against the app store guidelines, eventually you are going to get a reviewer…

Grand Central Dispatch, I think you mean. :) It's on iOS 4+ as well.
