@ojas "You know, Microsoft and Nokia's problems is that they keep talking about how good the camera on their phones are, without realising that their OS is equally shit." By what metric are you measuring the OS? Stability? The one thing WP7 truly excelled at right from the start was the fact...

"Godrich commented on Spotify's statement, tweeting that because the money is divided up by percentage of total streams, it favors bigger companies with huge back catalogues." As I understand it, Spotify's system favors companies with the songs people are listening to. If people are listening...

jazz84In any case, the fine doesn't even approach "slap on the wrist" territory. Especially for a behemoth like Samsung, this is more of a gentle poke with a packing peanut. Seriously, why even bother with a fine at that point? $52.4 billion in revenue for Q4 2012, take away $923. Yeah...

I get the investigating the report part, but assessing the risk? So if they don't deem the risk high enough, or the group large enough, they'll just leave the exploit there? The report is either true or false. If true, it means your software is flawed AND your customers are vulnerable. I...

They have to distinguish for the crowd that thinks Macs can't get viruses.

1) Everyone in the smartphone industry could be considered rivals. 2) Smartphone oriented patents are generally violated by smartphone manufacturers. In conclusion, of course they are going to use their patents against smartphone industry rivals. If you don't like it, don't violate the...

Google doesn't write the story, it just finds the story. Just because Google doesn't auto-complete the search for you doesn't mean the story isn't out there. No proof. This is an opinion. Further, I don't think anyone responsible for hiring would start to type his name in a search bar and...

I'm not sure where you are getting this. It launched in North America in November (3 Months ago). Sales are a little slow, but reasonable given the difference in market conditions compared to when iOS and Android 2.0 launched. Besides, as I understand it they are slowly gaining market share...

The dirtiest things we come in contact with are the things we come in contact with the most. Things that are too fun to ignore top the list.

Little late to arrest the guy at that point don't you think. I remember reading comments when this first hit that this would never happen and if it did, people would be outraged and stand up against it. Well, it happened. Unfortunately the extent of the outrage seems to be the very people who...

To put it in terms of water lines, it is because your ISP is selling you the pipe, not the water. If you want quick access, regardless of how often you use it, you have to buy the infrastructure to support it. People who use it more often simply make better use of their investment. Since your...

Actually it is harder. The PPE doesn't automatically figure out how to divide the code between SPEs. That means you have to figure out both how to write you code to take advantage of the parallelism, and figure out the most efficient way of dividing it up. Often developers will have one or...

Read the title: Apparently Marcus (or whoever is in charge of the title) is trying to link it up for you.

Honestly, it sounded more like they were mad that he reported the bike robbery than the $40 debt. "Snitch" isn't normally the term used for a late debts. Sounds like, they got in trouble with the law and wanted revenge, but you are correct, there is definitely something wrong with them to go...

I'm going to keep things relatively simple while providing (hopefully) enough detail to illustrate my point. So please forgive any oversimplifications. The 360's CPU is a tricore PPC. The cell is 8 SPE's (one disabled for the PS3) + one PPE (similar to the PPC cores of the 360) largely for...
