I personally like Android Studio better than dealing with Xcode and their project and storyboard files. I don't think Xcode is designed well for small to medium teams -- having to …

I think the motox looks better and feels better than an iphone.

You mean like using Android's SyncAdapter and setting inInexactRepeating()? Android has supported this basic type of background scheduling since the start of time. The main differe…

Google bought Motorola for 12.5 billion and then sold off it's Home division for 2.3 billion. At the time of the purchase, Motorola had 2 billion in cash so in the end, Google prob…

Is he serious? Ending a promotion which was stated as limited early due to overwhelming demand equates to getting your shit together? gruber needs to get his shit together and stop…

lol i call that barely working. Barely moves and the user didn't do anything but load the site.

Yes..this is exactly what I mean. If you don't want to be spammed from liking something, then don't allow the brands to reach out to users who liked their products. You can only do…

If you are constantly getting spammed by a fan page that you explicitly liked or followed , then the appropriate answer is to unlike or unfollow it. There's no reason to curate inf…

They don't sell the phones so they don't know how many are sold. The only count they have is all the activations that are coming from every new phone. I don't think there can be a …

Andy Rubin: "...and for those wondering, we count each device only once (ie, we don't count re-sold devices), and "activations" means you go into a store, buy a device, put it on t…

Great analyst? He's basically an apple PR personnel. Most of his posts van be summed up into Apple can do no wrong. Anyone opposing apple is wrong and stupid. There is no logic. It…

Um remove whitespaces by choosing compact setting. Problem solved.

Android does have sandboxing and its much better in than iOS. Each app runs in its own VM instance and requests for permissions. Additionally each app can also call other apps via …

I find most of the iOS5 additions taking an inspiration to how Android "improved" on the mobile space. So it's ok for Apple to do it then?

R&D != patents. The number of patents generated by a company is really based on the system employed within the company and not about how innovative the company is. Most software pa…

This is more of Android adapting well to society's needs. Isn't that what RIM and Nokia are trying to do? What's wrong with adapting to a new general idea on how to operate on a ph…

Android was bought behind Eric Schmidt's back by Larry And Segery. Andy Rubin went and pitched it to them to buy Android. There is no proof that Eric Schmidt got insider informatio…

Apple steals good ideas and improves upon them all the time. Does he have to hold such a grudge? A bit ridiculous and a bit petty.

You mean like all the areas that iOS (v4&5) is now copying or taking an inspiration from Android now?

Google Places is just another search engine but specifically for places (aka restaurants and stores). It used to be the case that it will aggregate all reviews from multiple review…

I wish they will do more so every news piece will stop quoting the terrible Florian Muller
