They should have simply let NUMB3RS explain IRC.

Well, the portability between kernels is nice on Unixlike and Unix systems, but you would agree with me that nearly all of the developers and users for these larger desktop environ…

Where has anyone ever said that a sentence cannot be started with "however," which is an adverb?

I would say Mozilla/Gecko was a very good choice when the project started. Webkit itself was just being open-sourced at the time and cross platform compatibility was lacking.

Hmm.. it must be even harder to develop for such a fragmented platform as the personal computer, then, where there is essentially nothing guaranteed except the OS you are writing f…

From a perspective of the general types of apps sold on mobile phones to similar mostly one-function apps and games, I think the comparison to Windows vs. Mac holds through. On Win…

Did no once else even consider that there would be a problem with this? I figured it was just access of my data that I upload to a server and that only I can access. I already do t…

The gap is way shrinking. The mobile web originally meant browsers that barely supported HTML (does WAP ring a bell?), picture support was sketchy, and bandwidth was a major concer…

I would have been interested to see the Unix and Mac versions of IE 5 included. And wasn't IE 5.5 a significant upgrade to 5.0, which was not included?

Has anyone tried browsing with IE6 lately? At the time, everything was probably compatible with it.. but my school still uses IE6 and I am finding more and more common web pages ar…

Way to bring an OS not mentioned in the article into the discussion. But to be fair, I think your point about K-9 makes a great point about the power of open source. And now Google…

Those fonts are ridiculously ugly in the screenshots. Maybe it is the monitor type the machine used for testing used with a combination of font preferences, but they are still hard…

This looks very similar to an app I had on my only Sony Clie PDA, which I am pretty sure was a copy of something on Pocket PC... this was back in 2003.

So I am not the only one who when they first used Windows 7 felt like it was a weird copy of their KDE 4 box at home?

Being a shareholder is kind of a weak claim to authority when anybody can be anyway, isn´t it? If he picked up a couple of NOK stock is he able to be taken exponentially more serio…

A browser can be fully modern and platform specific; I fail to see your argument. Could a browser not be specifically developed for Haiku, Mac OS 9, or any other current or legacy …

Hint: he founded the company and named it after himself.

Plus they´re also competing with WebOS once HP gets them back in the market, which is arguably a superior product on a technical front.

I usually get about 2mbps on my Verizon 3G, which is faster than my home ADSL connection. I´ve thought of my wireless as very fast, though perhaps not from a global perspective.

This one was fun at school today: http://i.imgur.com/7aofj.jpg

I found webOS to be superior to iOS and Android in most ways, only to be hindered by poor hardware and marketing. WP7 will not take off just because it is objectively better in som…

My own experience with the app on Android would have me warn you that speech recognition is sub-par. English generally works, but it is sketchy. Spanish didn't work with me; I thou…

It is a pain, whether the restrictions are carrier-induced or not, to do this. I had a truly open and flexible desktop-like operating system when I was running Maemo OS2008.. I cou…
