bombs

1024 x 600, based on specs reported by tablets and netbooks that use them, e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_tablet.

How does it affect actual performance, i.e. dropped calls? Do you hold your phone that way usually? If not, is there a problem when you hold it the usual way?

AnandTech showed in their review that cupping the phone caused signal drops on both the iPhone 3GS and the Nexus One too. The drop on the iPhone 4 was larger, certainly, but it didn't drop the call.

They're members of the delphinidae family (ocean dolphins), which are a member of odontoceti.

The books suggested by SimpleBits were good for me, http://astore.amazon.com/simplebits-20/191-2738847-5476816?_....

How many people use TwitPic as a blog?

It can't support the weight of a person and can't move from its base. Almost there!

It's a lot easier to reduce the price than to raise it!

Orkut launched two weeks before Facebook.

This is mostly true, except for location. The iPhone has always asked for permission before providing your location to apps (even to Apple's preinstalled apps, like Maps) and as of iOS 4, you're able to see a list of apps that have asked for your location, whether you said yes or not (with the option to change) and whether the app has accessed your location in the last 24 hours.

If you're interested in what a lot of survivalists pack in their survival kits, they're often referred to as "bug out bags", e.g. http://www.aussurvivalist.com/bugout.htm.

The CPU sure, but I'm wondering how usable the graphics card would be, it not being one of the graphics cards that ships with a Mac. It'd suck having am lack of drivers be a bottleneck.

My notes didn't get deleted, although not all of them synced.

"As Mac OS X Snow Leopard was never meant to be installed on this hardware, any drivers that work now, may need workarounds later. There are absolutely no guarantees when it comes to this stuff- but that's what makes it fun."

I guess it has to be the fun part, because these aren't that much cheaper than a Mac mini (which won't come bundled with the same headaches).

As alluded to in another comment, how about your favourite CLI editor accessed via SSH. There are a few web-based SSH clients out there, such as Ajaxterm, Anyterm, WebShell, GotoSSH, etc.

How did they get their hands on Apple's code?

You do. The signal strength bars are to the left of the carrier name, while the connection type (EDGE, 3G, WiFi) icon is the right.

The WiFi icon (which acts as a signal strength indicator for WiFi connections) unfortunately does hide the cellular data indicator, which shows whether you're connected to EDGE or 3G.

I've always referred to it (and used it) as a change pocket, as have jean manufacturers.

The change in interfaces, particularly metaphors, is really interesting as things go from derivatives (e.g. a mechanised horse) to originals (e.g. a tractor).

It's also interesting when metaphors don't change, failing to keep up with reality, e.g. the floppy disk being used a save metaphor, when floppy disks have not been prevalent for years.

I remember thinking how great AJAX SSH clients like those used by Slicehost were.

This sort of thing will be great, particularly with my OS X and Windows servers!

I don't agree.

The only reason why web designers should not use ad blockers, that I can think of, is to see how others are placing ads and learn from them, so when you have to design a page that has ads, you know how or how not to do it.

They're correct if you have your appearance settings set to Graphite instead of Blue.

Google's?

It's an ad made by TBG Digital for Vodafone. They've made similar sites for Vodafone's other (non-Android) handsets too.

Be okay with dying.

I added http://www.facebook.com/plugins/ and https://www.facebook.com/plugins to AdBlocker's filters in Safari.

It seems to have removed all Open Graph stuff from the web for me.

Maybe they don't care, maybe they just like to complain loudly?

> None of these will be able to update their games to the new SDK.

The ban on interpreters significantly predates the new SDK.

Were you happy with the result?

If you hold down alt while using the iPhone Simulator, you can get two finger multitouch, which can be used for gestures like pinching too.

I don't think the CD metaphor for music is dead yet, but both the iPhone and iPad show the iTunes icon when they need to be connected (i.e. at activation).
