Check the logs. It is downloading another 3GB of stuff.

Framer is “just” HTML/CSS/JavaScript. This means you can also do things like embed (moving) GIFs, videos and use (almost) all browser APIs in Code Components.

It still works, Beamer uses a different part of the AirPlay protocol ‘suite’. We’ve tested with the betas to ensure it would. (I’m one of the developers.)

So, in the EU and US the average amount spent is above the average amount earned. I'd be more interested in more data on that than what OS was on their phones.

The partially unusable screen acts nicely as an easy to hit back button offering context about where you'll go back to. The spatial organization and animation showing the menu adds…

That's not an option button on iOS. It leads to a menu of 'secondary' menu items, that are hierarchically on the same level as the other tabs.

For iOS/Mac development, Ole Begemann's http://oleb.net/ is invaluable, especially for the monthly link roundups.

I completely agree with you, but the user might have been trained by his iPhone to relate the speed of the spinner to the data transfer speed. (The spinner in the status bar of the…

Utrecht, a whole city to buy your art supplies.

Steve Pavlina wrote a good article a while ago: http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2005/05/how-to-become-an-ea... Don't miss the links to more sleep experiments at the bottom.

iOS and all the apps are build for a specific _physical_ size. A larger screen would mean apps would need to scale (or run in an awkward smaller size) which would look terrible and…

That was about three years ago, see http://www.economist.com/node/10328123

Either that, or you're still in school. (Not kidding, BB is very popular with teens, at least here in the Netherlands.)

No, Android phones are currently selling faster than iPhones (in the US). In terms of absolute numbers (and also counting iPods and iPads as iOS devices) it's think it's quite clos…

The book the article links to in the end, Mindfullness in plain English is also freely available online (and as a download): http://www.urbandharma.org/udharma4/mpe.html

No, I had to compile my own kernels for several reasons. 1. My soundcard didn't work with any vanilla kernel (+ modules) 2. I owned a webcam that had a slightly different USB id th…

Independent of what? Platforms, technology, customers? Don't kid yourself, there's always somebody who's your "boss".

His story reminded me a lot of the time I switched from Linux to OS X. There was a point where compiling my own kernels stopped being fun and I just wanted a computer that I could …

The developers who got their app featured might disagree with you. It is a bit of a lottery, but not more so than, say, sending out press releases.

To be fair, the website says: "If you send any other three digit number that's not in that list, we'll return it too." They seem to simply truncate the number. E.g., http://httpsta…

I wonder where they used CouchDB and Cloudant for (listed at the bottom of the page).

Well, the faster the webserver, the more time is left for code to run while still having a very responsive website.

The article mentions the "pong" benchmark which seems to reside here: https://github.com/snoyberg/benchmarks . Looking at the code is doesn't do anything besides answering "pong" t…
