NEDM64··on Apple Introduces What It Calls an Easier to Use Portable Music Player (2001)
You're comparing subsidized phones with sim unlocked phones.
NEDM64··on Apple Introduces What It Calls an Easier to Use Portable Music Player (2001)
The problem with those CDMP3 players were the size, they didn't really work when you trembled the player (huge), and they rarely accepted CD-RW.

Remember that CD-R is write once, not synchronize many times.

Also, the interface...

NEDM64··on Dropbox Owns Cloud Storage on Mobile
iCloud is purely optional. You just need any email address for an AppleID for a functional phone with AppStore, notifications, etc.
NEDM64··on Epiphany-V: A 1024-core 64-bit RISC processor
Yes, it is.

Specially when you're working with RF or when you're doing commercial products or when you have a strict timeline and limited resources.

In a software project, the development is only limited by the Human Resources, you can't realistically blame the computer for being too slow to compile your code, and there are no "defects" when your users download your code.

For everyone still confused

  Verilog --> imperative language
  
  EDA --> IDE + compiler
  
  GDS --> Assembly
NEDM64··on The Verge editor secretly joins Apple, doesn't inform the Verge
Apple stores are much of part of Apple, as their Cupertino campus. And Apple Store employees are directly employed by Apple.
NEDM64··on Apple applies to patent a paper bag with at least 60% post-consumer content
Yes, it was probably made on LaTeX, so what?

Someone called "TD-Linux" has irrational hate Apple...

This is why the Linux user community has such a bad rap.

NEDM64··on What it feels like to be the last gen to remember life before the internet
What was good before the Internet, we were a lot more ignorant, and that was a bliss.

You went to your doctor, and just did what he told you to do.

You just went to the mall, and bought a TV home without comparing prices on your mobile phone.

If you were lost on your car, well, you spent a little on gas until you found a way home.

You didn't need to pay for Spotify or Apple Music to discover new music, you just listened to music your friends at school lent you.

The reading the news wasn't that important, but journalism was a responsible thing.

No social network metrics pressure on kids.

There were these things called travel agencies. OMG.

etc.

NEDM64··on What it feels like to be the last gen to remember life before the internet
It wasn't "much worse".

Some things were more inconvenient, but other things were simpler.

Read the title: AWWW

NEDM64··on NeXT vs. Sun (1991) [video]
GBs of RAM in 1991?

That's supercomputer stuff... maybe...

NEDM64··on Goodbye Mac OS Forge, hello GitHub
A Linux emulador, that is...
NEDM64··on Is anybody else using ridiculously long variable names?
Always, only use x, y, z, etc. when they are descendants of the variables with big names.

Because autocomplete.

Really don't understand the binaries implication.

NEDM64··on ShiftJS – Swift to JavaScript transpiler
And then you need to wait for browsers to support it...
NEDM64··on ShiftJS – Swift to JavaScript transpiler
Any language can be compiled to any Turing complete machine.

It is possible to compile Swift to JavaScript.

The only thing impeding that is the quality of the project.

Or you could buy a decent phone from a decent company.
NEDM64··on Here's what Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer said that really made me angry
It's CNBC content.
NEDM64··on No Man's Sky: Update 1.03
Sorry, but you're being naive.

Rarely there are standards bodies that aren't controlled by companies and their interests.

If they allowed OpenGL to flourish, it would ultimately be controlled by either Nvidia, ATI, PowerVR or someone else in the interest group to suit their hardware. Somebody has to pay the engineers.

Look at W3C, if is practically controlled by Google, and they only do what suits their needs, the way they want.

Look at Bluetooth, Apple is controlling the thing, and now they are releasing a newer version that's selfishly taylored for Apple to sell expensive headphones probably with patented methods, which they will use to protect themselves in court in case someone goes on a patent war against them.

NEDM64··on Google Outpaces Facebook on Getting India Connected to Internet
Facebook should spend more on advertising, they would have avoided what happened to their program.
NEDM64··on Lithium-air batteries: Their time has come
Because a car won't explode due to malfunction, and not on your reproductive organs.

Cherry picking
NEDM64··on Apple announces bug bounty program
It's not humor when it always falls to the same side.

Then it seems like a job to me, if it is, then they should pay a salary.

Couldn't wait for YouTubers to make a video about this or you thought that your comment wouldn't make any difference in a sea of identical mindless comments?

Or if you prefer "thanks, after this I'm going to buy a Nexus 6p"?

NEDM64··on What Apple should tell you when you lose your iPhone
Why stop there?

Why not make the iPhone blow in the face of the stealer?

NEDM64··on Gawker Media founder to file for personal bankruptcy
They aren't even real journalists, they just own a .com domain.
NEDM64··on Gawker Media founder to file for personal bankruptcy
Invasion of privacy, doesn't matter. It's a crime against Hulk Hogan and whomever was on that tape.
NEDM64··on Gawker Media founder to file for personal bankruptcy
That's because you are reading from a journalist.

They are like a mob in this case.

You're obviously right, it's libel, full stop. And Hulk Hogan didn't win because he had Thiel money, he won because he was right, and if Gwaker would win, it would be because of money, and that would be something anormal.
