What does your comment mean? It looks like nonsense output from an AI or spam.

In addition to everything that was said Web browsing was second-to-none on the Passports. Wide screen had the most horizontal real estate I've seen in a pocket device and the brows…

That anecdote reminds me of the big twist in "Real Genius", an otherwise comedic film.

Looks like this is slides from a talk Walter Bright gave which has been posted to YouTube [1]. It helps with some missing context. For example, I wondered why in the slides he felt…

This is along the lines of what I wanted to say. Going from the main screenshot, there's a lot of low-hanging fruit (in addition to what you said) that could be done programmatical…

"Loon" is an error in transcription; if you listen to the video of the talk, he says "Loom", but with a British-sounding accent.

That's why I always used the selenium UI script as a starting point when I was doing web app QA. It was easier in my experience to take the generated output and eliminate unnecessa…

I personally hate that the Shuffle is dead. It was a prime example of a device that did one thing only and did it well. No love for minimalism these days, I suppose.

Middle East, probably

I like the explicitly stated emphasis on performance and large file support in the goals. I look forward to seeing this develop and will be following the project (and test-driving …

I think you make a good point -- the "mod-ability" of Eclipse simultaneously makes it attractive to people who like to customize their dev environment to the max and is a big weakn…

Hopefully this means that BlackBerry will survive in some form and have a future. Their recent phones and version 10 OS have a lot of merit, and I enjoy using and developing for th…

Some responses say SteamOS is not open source, in the press release, it says "Users can alter or replace any part of the software or hardware they want." So I'm guessing if not ope…

When you have a family plan with multiple lines, even the first level block text messaging plans add up quickly. (I'm on Verizon in the USA). I feel the whole text message surcharg…

It looks interesting but for $30, there's just not enough meta-info for me as to what all it contains. I'm guessing it walks through the construction of the examples mentioned (lan…

There also seems to be an impermanence to commenting on a video, especially one that's popular, because responses (unless sufficiently up-voted) don't stick around, and there's no …

Conway asserts that the referenced post says "you are the victim here". But I think he (Jason Freedman) says that a subset of people who have extreme difficulty ("...it’s more than…

Honest question: How would Opera Software prove in court that Trond Hansen stole browser ideas/feature concepts (if I'm reading it correctly)? Subpoena Mozilla's emails? My gut say…

It's a lot harder for me to navigate the doc pages too because I'm scrolling a lot, lot more and the "sub-topic" nav-bar is gone (e.g. "Base CSS" page had "Typography", "Code", "Ta…

I believe the highlighter device is called a "telestrator" [1]. That functionality certainly would be useful, if only to see tourney broadcasters pick up on it and start using it. …
