I've never heard a left-handed complaining about the traditional gamepad layout.

Well, that's the thing: if it was an obvious success from day one, others would have done it too.

On Google Play you can ask for a refund. The request gets forwarded to the developer who can accept to do the refund or not. Steam could at least provide that.

They probably live in East Bay and have an awful commute every day.

Regarding #2, I've heard an interesting statistic recently. The blue workers average salary went up 5% in one year in France. The reason? Recent waves of layoff impacted lower sala…

Well, the thing is both Chrome and Firefox get updated automatically but IE doesn't. So the problem will not IE versions that are already old (IE6, IE7) but current versions of IE …

It's not that it's "Scala adapted to Java", but more like a choice to do async and functional programming even in Java. That makes stuff a bit verbose sometimes because to pass a f…

I actually remember hearing an official from Cote d'Ivoire insisting that we should use "Cote d'Ivoire" in all languages. People localizing their country name creates confusion, ty…

Unfortunately modularity goes against the interests of companies producing gadgets. They'd rather have you buy a full upgrade every 2 years than just change a few components once i…

Yay, SOAP in JSON!

It's actually what's happening on mobile. Everyone uses webkit but they all have a different version, with their own set of patches and compilation options. So it's as fragmented a…

The user is not necessarily the customer, or the buyer. In a company, the buyer or customer may be a manager but the user the members of his team. In a consumer product, the buyer …

You can certainly drop an iPhone without breaking it - but I wouldn't be sure it would work every time. Also, scratch-resistant and drop-resistant are not the same thing.

Or, buy a phone that can resist a 1 meter drop on concrete without a case. That's pretty much any phone except the iPhone 4 and 4S. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elKxgsrJFhw Yes, …

Even if that's the case, they did not sat in a room for 2 years waiting for the iPhone release, then suddenly shouted "let's clone this thing!" (Yes, I know that's what Steve Jobs …

No, not search engines. Merchant sites like Amazon on the other hand let you get affiliate money without having to bind a special deal.

That would be true for Amoled screens, but for now they're only used in mobile phones.

Who cares about Instapaper for Android? ReadItLater is at 10c on the market right now. Leave short-minded developers to their Objective-C and use apps from developers who care abou…

We're still in line with our "no useless boilerplate" approach in Play 2.0. You can look at the samples and make up your own mind about whether we've been successful or not: https:…

I agree with him - what Guava brings (functional programming, better safety in types) is something that is better done at language level like in Scala. Either you like Java and you…

Battery life is pretty good with Gingerbread. ICS will be able to run on any phone able to run Gingerbread.

The idea is to build voice recognition from a large base of samples from different people (male/female, age, accents...). That's why Google offered GOOG-411, mostly to train their …

Well, the things is that if you include resident medecine studies are really long. So: * You'd have to average for a life time of work * You need to make sure you subtract the cost…
