How hard does it make it change all static sizes to %s? I've seen a couple of these and wondered if it would be pretty easy to just convert all your px to % making the logo easily scalable just from the wrapper's size.

Using a phone app will probably require Hulu Plus. If you open up Hulu in chrome and cast it with the chrome extension, it might work until Hulu figures out a way to detect it.

Yes, from what I gather you should be able to even power off your phone, and the stream is still going. The device itself is running chrome, and opening up netflix itself. Your phone or whatever device you use to talk to it, is more of a peripheral used to control the chromecast device.

Basically your phone is not only practically, but technically, just a remote.

There can be many markets where IE usage is much higher than the worldwide average. My previous job had IE as a whole with ~60% share. You can't just decide to ditch a browser because of averages, you need to look at your own data.

According to google finance, it seems like their stock actually went up from this headline.

That is fairly wrong. Netflix is barely more convenient than pirating. I would gladly pay for Hulu+ as well if it had 0 ads, since Hulu+ happens to have a lot of content I would watch. However, with having to watch several ads each time, it simply becomes much easier to simply torrent what I want to see.

Hasn't Apple's process always been to take other successful things and offer a very polished and high quality feel of it?

As long as you aren't using a service with your actual data. If I use Tor to connect to facebook and input my personal information, Tor is only protecting my data in transit. The NSA can still request the data from my account from facebook.

Really surprised knockoutjs isn't mentioned. It is the default templating engine in a default .NET MVC project.

What more do you want them to tell you as a gamer about the new system? They released specs and talked about the cloud gaming capabilities. Having more 3rd party game makers demo games for the system doesn't really improve my appeal to the console.

I already knew the new xbox would be the next gaming console. It seems like they went for the non-obvious, and wanted to talk about the other features. The games are going to be the draw for gamers, and I'm sure those will be just fine.

Wow, 13 attempts each before the gun finally went off. I thought this game was just joking with me and wouldn't ever go off.

Doesn't really matter for the demo. The demo is just all native. You don't really need jQuery when working with canvas.

The only application performance a SSD provides is initial load time, and write times.

As someone who has been using windows 8 for a few months now, if you are a person who rarely used the start menu to open programs before, windows 8 can easily be used as an improved version of windows 7. Dual monitors also help a lot to make sure you never feel like you are trapped in metro. (Metro only ever shows on one screen)

The thought of a mix of an asian f2p game and "in car purchases" horrified me.

Isn't that his point? Email address is a backbone of web identity simply because we don't have anything better. Maybe we should finally get around to figuring out something better?

It's a hard problem because anything real world like a identifying number is flawed for anonymity. There needs to be a unique identifier for a web entity.

It's always annoyed me that solutions like persona etc are approaching this by simply replacing email, when shouldn't they be abstracting my online identity? I hold several "personas" throughout various sites, email addresses, and applications. However, I don't want a product that simply merges them, I want a product that is more of a "meta-persona", that lets me easily track, manage, and expand them.

This sounds like something perhaps the dropbox api would be useful for? The webapp would simply modify files in your dropbox through the api, and changes could then be pushed to your local machine through dropbox's service.

As someone who's loving TypeScript, is it a possibility we will see that supported too?

How is it dishonest? I would consider it a theatrical demonstration of what's actually happening.

The steps of the gif are: -Establishing secure connection -Sending Credentials -Authenticating -Building Secure Environment

That's not too far off of layman's terms of what is happening when they logon albeit just not as slow.

If it provides a layperson the same sense of trust that a technical person would feel if they listed the technical terms, isn't this an accurate demonstration?

With most of the spinner gifs I use, the gif will just be in the element that I put the dynamic content into. Then when I load the content into the element, the gif is replaced and disappears.

You can use e.preventDefault() at the top of your event listener to prevent the keys from affecting the page.

The page would move even from these links if your page was long enough to have a scroll.

(You can see it by shrinking the window all the way down until it gets a scroll)

But couldn't you use algorithmic generation to hold a 32x32 image as well?

Wouldn't it be incredibly difficult for a human mounted camera to do this? Any shift in the camera itself would throw off the results.

Well rebooting will flush dns, where walking someone through cmd would probably be a lot more painful.

What happens if an employee becomes disgruntled and leaves the company? If they take their patents, wouldn't the company have to stop using the patents the employee owns?

I'm mostly shocked at how I simply was uninformed that spotify was using my connection so. I know over the past few months I've had occasional and even sometimes frequent spikes of latency while gaming.

I'm often left confuddled at these spikes as I won't have anything open I would consider requires much bandwith. Also, even though I would have high latency, opening a browser and navigating through sites would work as smoothly as ever.

Now I know to look at spotify specifically and I would not be very surprised if my spikes of bad internet activity are a result of spotify leeching my upload.

While I think it makes sense for spotify to use p2p in their system, I would have thought there would have been an indication of it in the options with an option to disable such services.

By writing do you mean typing? While I don't have the same kind of need to work out my thoughts, typing is a relief over writing as I can type significantly faster than I can write or even speak. Allowing me to express myself much closer to the speed of my thoughts provides much better productivity.

I make it simpler by simply telling anyone to never click any links out of an email.

If your browser started storing everything on your harddrive your computer would likely come to a crawl. The problem is RAM space, not HD space.

I would assume it's much easier to join a pool rather than create his own pool for his devices to use.
