They said during the key note that they are lighter than many sunglasses. Many of the team were wearing them when taking orders as well. So they are trying to show off they are nat…

The reason cloud streaming is so important is because wireless streaming from a device eats the battery alive. Amazon recently announced that battery and then price are the primary…

At the fireside chat afterwards the Android team said the real term they use internally is jackbusting. Butter is just a marketing term.

Put me in as a nut job then. I've seen plenty of users who make no distinction whatsoever re case of characters in passwords. One day their password is working, the next day it isn…

How is breaking backward compatibility simpler? If you don't support legacy commands and options you are forcing countless programs to be rewritten. Many aren't even actively maint…

Agreed. Was very impressive seeing Googlers respond, and respond helpfully which is not always easy in tech esp to outside parties, and have forums and regular G+ hangouts so it is…

I've run into multiple situations at work where someone I was working for knew how to code, even if it wasn't their job, and it made things so much easier. I probably shouldn't rev…

Make sure you have clicked on a story before you try to scroll, that got me for quite a while too. There was nothing to tell me to click on stories to read them. I only figured it …

You sound dead on to me. Java tooling is basically light years ahead of JavaScript, just because it's so much easier to write for a static language. Most people don't learn all the…

I hate to break it to the guy, but I can't remember the last time my browser was at 100% zoom, so his perfect pixels will never look perfect on my screen anyway...

It's a tough call for the company. They don't make money on old versions of Photoshop, they make money on selling the current version. Engineers may have long since all been assign…

This sort of thing used to happen a lot at an Android app company I worked for. It would be easier and cleaner to implement something like a button background in XML, but it wouldn…

Man, whenever me or a family has Prime, amazon is the first place we check. It's a great lock in. The trials and share with family functions help make it viral even. Businesses lov…

A friend who really loved the game tried to show it to me, but it kept having server problems. I wonder if that was just an isolated case or if it was frequent, in which case it co…

Hmm, I've had to do similar in Java before and it just took breaking out what I wanted to retry into a separate method. Nice simple clean Ruby is preferred, but it is possible alre…

I admit I didn't make it through reading the article, but I disagree with how he sees the CEO talking about wanting retail reps to sell the phone as a bad sign. Every single phone …

I had one of these and the touchscreen on my phone while charging was indeed unusable, as he warns can happen. I almost wrote off the phone as broken before I realized what was cau…

The world isn't black and white. Just because fruit has some healthy aspects, doesn't mean it can't have bad aspects as well. In fact, different fruits have different ratios of fru…

Other advertising solutions for Android apps often pay more in my experience anyway, like Millennial Media, for example. I don't know why offhand, maybe there are fewer apps on the…

Yeah, I saw an entire screen of players turn toward me once before as well and turn away immediately later. Hopefully players end up in the same world with just a lot of computer o…

Hmm, favorite strategy: zoom ahead full speed with a spammed bullet stream in front of you. After wrapping around enough times your bullet stream (and probably you) are going to na…

Hmm, well, re the last thing he wants, carrying it around; if there were a Kindle version of this it would be in the Kindle app on my phone which is with me almost constantly. A ph…

Would have bought it if there was a Kindle version...heck even a PDF version...

Isn't call for a price a good deal for little guys? If IBM calls for a price, they are going to get charged a huge number like 100k. If a Mom and Pop shop calls they are either goi…
