I'm one of the few non-programmers here, and I figured this would be a good place to ask: Right now, few applications are coded to utilize so many cores. Is this simply a matter of…

This is probably because it's not shipping yet. They are still selling the older model in the store. It'll probably get a "Now Shipping" front page spot when the time comes.

Not really. I've had a slight interest in programming for years, but I'm more interested in design. I'd like to develop an iPhone game, but I don't think I have enough motivation o…

Nope. I'm a web designer and I have some interest in programing, but all I know is a little Actionscript. I come here for the high quality discussion on the articles I do understan…

I have been getting messages that say "Reddit is currently under heavy load. Please try again later." or something to that effect. I'm pretty sure they are just having trouble deal…

Page 11? I only see two pages. What am I missing?

I sort of thing that if the keyboard was going to disappear completely any time soon (~10 years), it would've disappeared already. We have a lot of different technologies for text …

If everything goes well, he won't have to teach you much at all. That's the exciting thing about the direction the iPad is bringing computing; it's very capable, but at the same ti…

My guess is they're going to announce they started putting a coating on new phones to fix the issue, and will offer free exchanges or cases to existing iPhone 4 customers. *Either …

I've got a 2560x1600 monitor, and honestly, the 4k video looked worse to me than 1080p. Blocky all over the place. If they can't raise the bitrate on the 4k videos, there's really …

How is losses per unit sold relevant to anything? Overall profits or losses are what matter. I don't know how much Microsoft made off each one, so I'll be generous and guess $400 a…

I have one. I recently moved to an area with very poor AT&T coverage. I am under contract with AT&T, and I wasn't pleased with the prospect of having to go outside every time I wan…

It's Flash. Easy way to check, by the way, is to right click on it. If it's Flash it'll say "About Adobe Flash Player 10".

I wasn't expecting this to really hold my attention, but I ended up watching for 25 minutes the first time I tried it. I just hope they add a way to add videos to the favorites and…

I agree. Native apps are great if you have some features you want to implement that aren't practical in a web app, but I can't think of any case where a website with a native app f…

The 3G dock might be different than the 2G dock. I've seen several confirmations that it works in the 2G dock but none for the 3G dock. That said, this article seems to have more c…

Takes less than a second to load for me.

Well that's a bit of a relief. I thought they were actually charging $500 to unsuspecting account holders. You're right about people buying the app after it drops in price. When it…

Yesterday there was an app called "A mirror" at the top of the Top Grossing list selling for $499.99. The developer, SufPay, has no website listed and has only released one app. Th…

I think you misread what I wrote. I was suggesting separate updates for the rendering engine to solve the problem of upgrade-averse users. Legacy applications would be accommodated…

I would love this as much as any other web designer or developer, but sadly, it's just not feasible. The biggest problem with upgrades is that lots of companies rely on specific ve…
