Famous last words of a Roman centurion.

I read that, and it absolutely does not try to make the point that indentation is a curse. Maybe it is to some (not to me!), but you would need to cite something else. This is just…

Is that a problem in any other watch? Left or right wrist, the 12 stays on top. Only the button is on the other side. Besides that: don't count on it. If you pay close attention, y…

When I was considering a similar scenario, I looked at the airports around there and found Kota Bharu to be much closer. The runway may not be similar in length, but if your plane …

I think the request for proof lies with something that claims to have a certain effect or benefit. On the other hand, it has been proven that taking breaks can enhance concentratio…

The advantage should be more in user experience, since this would essentially put a halt to bundled crapware. People who are willing to move to "Developer mode" will not be the peo…

I cannot avoid generalizations in answering this and I am pretty sure any Turk would be more qualified to answer, but there it goes: I don't think the political movements are reall…

Forgive me for calling out your comment shallow. As a former Turkish resident, I did try and make an effort in reading up and understanding about Turkey. While it is not fair to sa…

Android does allow alternate app markets to be installed or applications to be installed directly. You would never get the reach of the PlayStore, but still this would offer a way …

Too bad they dont break down the 'other' category. It has doubled YoY and now constitutes 10% of the income. It should be iinteresting to find out how many Google Apps clients ther…

On a more general note, I enjoy reading these post-mortems. Not out of a wry malicious pleasure, but it is certainly a learning experience. Is there some place where these are gath…

They took a course of being completely dependent on the benevolence of Google. That is a big risk, but maybe more common than you would think. I mean, Apple can kick your app out o…

I don't think that is the point that is being made there. > Also, to the best of my knowledge, every single one of the publicly reported and publicly encountered Java applet exploi…
