Love how a good few of the adverts are just for more pixel ad pages

workbench··on Crowdfunding the Ubuntu Edge will fail

They targeted it wrong, the early adopter bonus shouldn't have been a cheaper phone it should have been a more expensive but exclusive colourway.

He didn't rich by writing a lot of cheques

Would it not be greatly dependant on how far the project gets in that initial funding. The projects that overshoot in the final days are generally ones that are 60-80% funded.

workbench··on Looking at CPU/GPU Benchmark Optimizations in Galaxy S 4

Since when has Apple relied on spec checklists to sell a product

The only way being shown someones baby photos could get any more awkward and annoying

workbench··on Looking at CPU/GPU Benchmark Optimizations in Galaxy S 4

You're a marketers dream. So easily convinced by some "specs"

workbench··on They're using Windows RT

It only works because that's the schools dated and closed ecosystem

workbench··on "Instead of cures for cancer we got Angry Birds"

Nice linkbait headline

workbench··on Ubuntu Edge

A man in a desert will also pay a lot more for a glass of water.

Your comment isn't really as relevant as you think it is. It would suggest Linux would be a highly lucrative platform to target for games, however the more normal it becomes to port games to Linux the less likely people would be to pay that price. This would happen much faster than you would think too.

You're not paying that much for the "privilege" of an unlocked phone, it's more when you pay any less than that you're sharing thew phone cost with AT&T and locking you into the network is their side of the bargain.

workbench··on Google+ spamming people every 2 weeks to put up a profile photo

My favourite wording of this dialog was "Change your hard to remember username to your real name!"

Actually laughed at that one.

workbench··on Fifty Shades of Grey Would Be Banned in UK?

> purpose is to be titillating

Who decides where the line is drawn?

workbench··on Fifty Shades of Grey Would Be Banned in UK?

Didn't you get the memo? Male rape is funny and always deserved according to the media.

and the daily mail seen as it's happy to publish photos of one of the Kardashian's babies in a string bikini

workbench··on Yugoslavs Find No Paradise at McDonald's (1988)

The point isn't anywhere near as clever as you think it is.

workbench··on That one time Zuck thought his sales guy was 50 Cent

Should have read the URL before I clicked the link.

workbench··on Thanks, David Cameron. No, Really.

When I viewed this article last night the "Sidebar of Shame" had an article about one of the Kardashians babies wearing a string bikini, of course they were outraged "Is this appropriate?" but that didn't stop them publishing it.

Bunch of utter hypocrites

Think by drones they meant a quadcopter camera

workbench··on VLC for iOS Now Available (itunes link)

One of the VLC devs threw a hissy fit and had it taken down because "muh GPL"

workbench··on Ads in Gmail displayed as normal emails?

Of course it is, look at YouTube it's practically unwatchable now without ad blockers.

Ads in your search results, ads to the left of your video, ads before the video, ads during the video

workbench··on Ads in Gmail displayed as normal emails?

The "terrible user experience" which adds numbers to their impressions statistic each time you encounter it?

workbench··on Microsoft reveals $900M write-down on Surface RT tablet

No because that entire user base transitioned to an entirely new OS where ALL the old software didn't run natively just a few years earlier.

Although battery life is something you only notice or care about when you've bought the product.

Figures on boxes will never match your actual usage so are meaningless.

The general public ARE stupid

workbench··on Microsoft reveals $900M write-down on Surface RT tablet

iOS doesn't even have background processes.

if you run an app and switch out then it can perform a network operation or a few other very specific tasks but they're all killed after 10 minutes anyway.

The whole multitasking part of iOS is basically smoke and mirrors. Manually quitting tasks is pretty much voodoo at this point

workbench··on Microsoft reveals $900M write-down on Surface RT tablet

It's not possible for software to misbehave on iOS. The system is ridiculously strict and "background processes" are basically faked and can only run for 10 minutes before they're killed.

Clearly the poster has a faulty battery.
