Not a coincidence. Adonit manufactures the Ink & Slide for Adobe, and apart from some cosmetic differences, and an additional button, the JTPP has all the same functionality as the…

Definitely, that is what we hope developers will start using it for. We expose the accelerometer data in the SDK, so developers can get access to the data. We also use the relative…

FWIW, the Ink is a lot more than that, including accelerometer data, and pressure sensitivity.

The touch pressure for paper is done with a new touch Radius property. The radius property on touches was available as a private API, but only made available publicly in iOS 8. The…

Ooh, I like that.

I'm sliding down the other side of that distribution myself. One evening I was having dinner with my wife and her nearly 70 year old parents. Her mom made a comment that has stuck …

Ditto on the above lists. Similar to inter-app communication issue is some way to meaningfully work with documents and data outside of application silos, either to share documents …

I'm one of the developers if anyone has any questions about the app.

We recently launched a simple website monitoring app for the iPhone where we ping sites from our servers, and send push notifications when we detect something is wrong (a poor man'…

If it is related to manufacturing, then absolutely. My neighbor works for a Honda supplier, and one day had to drop everything and fly from Indiana to a plant in Brazil with a repl…

I've seen the current software patent debacle compared to a nuclear standoff. Reading this article made me think of another analogy: Gangs. How long until independent developers wi…

"a Swiss hosting company leasing blade servers" If they are truly blade servers, then they were possibly sharing the same chassis, power supply and backplane. Could the FBI have pu…

My comment would be that the author is conflating growth in users and page views to revenue growth. While the two are very highly correlated, they are not the same thing. How Faceb…

Get off my lawn!

My understanding is that the Eclipse plugin CUSP does use slime to talk to the SBCL instance.

San Mateo, CA Scale Computing has a couple position open for C/C++ developers. Preference would be for working on site but we are open to people working remote (I work remote mysel…

Consider how destructive this kind of attitude is toward the programming profession. By trivializing any project, a programmer is by extension making it seem like programming is ea…

I'm starting to wonder in how many ways I can screw up a 10 question survey. Thanks for the feedback. I had 5 other people proofread the survey and you are the only one to catch th…

Sorry about that - This is the first time I've used Survey Monkey. It should be fixed now. Thank you for letting me know.

There are a couple things we are looking at, but it basically boils down to filtering/buffering as much in the hardware adapter before shifting it to the phone on demand. Realistic…

I am working on a new accessory for the iPhone/iPod Touch. It is an Ethernet adapter that plugs into the dock connector, along with software that allows you to do network analysis …

This article would be a lot more amusing if they took the opposite angle: "Times of economic growth obscure the fact that a large percentage of Americans graduate with no practical…

I think I can paraphrase: "Through careful academic research, we've decided what constitutes a smart, well-adjusted individual, but society is not rewarding us, err, I mean them, w…
