Mute problem still is a problem..

when I upgraded my iphone 4 to ios 5.1, my phone is always on mute when making calls (ie the other party cant hear me), putting it on speakphone or using a headset however works.. fast forward to 5.1.1 and still the same problem. What I noticed was the mute button (on the virtual keypad) always has the dashed line across it.. whether its highlighted or not. I'm not losing any sleep on this but it sure is irritating.

Well.. well.. well..

looks like M$ has engaged the services of Nick Fury himself..

AWS recently cut its prices..

.. and its not because of 'efficiencies' but to nudge Azure to DOA.

Hahumm...

... MS: we're happy we're using our software.

part of the reason why I'm contemplating on moving to a Mac..

1) installed fedora 15 in my (then) 5ish year old compaq presario a year ago.

2) worked really well, but for the life of me I couldnt make the laptop print to a network printer.

3) hibernate simply sucks and results to a system crash that requires a reboot or worse fsck

4) I dont have the time nor patience anymore to 'tinker' around.. I just want something that works.. comes with age I suppose.

5) As a developer, I'm increasingly getting more inquiries for 'mobile' apps development.. well and good except that I need a Mac for iPhone/ipad development..

6) The only way I can run Netbeans (my preferred java IDE) +Eclipse (for Android) + Apple's XCode IDE is in a Mac.

7) MacOSX is still, afterall, Unix.. so yes I may want to do the occassional tinkering.

So there.. I've bared my soul...

Research conducted by Jack Daniel?

LOL

wall-e gettting clobbered..

.. cute.

Happens with Golf all the time..

.. there's too much wind.

Im more impressed with cam

.. didnt seem to have any protection at all.

screwed from day 1

.. majority (still) of SMTP traffic is unencrypted.

euthanasia comes to mind. help save potentially millions of hours of coding and design.. go with HTML5+CSS+Javascript and adobe knows it..

"The biologist is confident that his angels will be safe during the live broadcast.." or it could be one gory "blood bath".

its romulan.

focus on the moon..

.. dont aim for a lower goal russia!

"Didnt beat around the bush"

..classic!

so what's going to happen to my photosynths?

well unlike old and spent satellites this one is loaded with toxic fuel.. I wonder how they can control its eventual descent since they can only receive comms one way (it they just get telemetry info and not sent commands)..if there's a chance that it will impact a city or something can they shoot it down once it reaches the atmosphere? maybe call up the good US of A and offer a target practice for the airborne laser perhaps?

careful what you say boys they might just 'unlike' you.

iOS sucks in file management bigtime..

even with itunes, plugging in your iphone to a laptop to manage your songs, images, videos etc is a real pain.

I just checked the page in seattleweekly

what a happy psychotic looking couple.

I wonder how that will work out

to dial write the numbers in mid air..

For this guy I agree with the iphone to be on top.

that's because the last time I played a full game on any device was in college some 18 years ago. I dont think the lame games in my ex-BB counts as a full game so yes I think its with the iphone 4 that i've played my first game since.. oh angry birds of course.

probably saw the ultimate tablet: the ones with the ten commandments. RIP steve.

if you include the lawyers fees, that would be $100,001.25.

RIP Roy, Ross and Jen.. it was fun while it lasted say hi to your old boss for me in virtual heaven (or wherever shuttered TV shows go).

wow St. Peter must be having a fit trying to understand all those technical gibberish, the arrival section is full of technical people.

reminds me of carol king's song..

"And it's too late, baby, now it's too late

Though we really did try to make it

Something inside has died

And I can't hide and I just can't fake it..."

yeah saw this on the TV.. somebody vid' the incident.. I thought it was hilarious..

My iphone 4 takes 5-6 seconds for the first shot.

Having migrated my dependable laptop of 4 years to Fedora 15 fairly recently there's a couple of things that irritates me a) Hibernate with many apps open usually (for me) results in a crash on waking, requiring fsck.. old XP doesnt have a problem with this at all b) when opening directories and files using the navigator, doing a right click has the copy but not the paste (but it's in one of the menus). c) the Gnome 3.0 is nice but fails reliably when an extended monitor is attached.

.NET architecture is not suitable for online apps..

..and they know it.. that's why they're considering Javascript for the presentation.. however, if they do so that will be a big blow for their stack of developer tools and consulting and all the revenues it entails.

For today's connected world, separating the presentation (javascript and associated tech e.g. JSON, XML etc) provides an excellent, multiple device, cross-platform and much more secure deployment platform. With .NET or .COM you have to rely exclusively on MS tech. Unfortunately there's still a lot of FUD about open source technologies in the corporate world the savings with FOSS are real not imaginary.

remember this date 28 January 2015

.. is the “.. the fifth anniversary of the closing of the transaction“. After which, Oracle said all bets are off as far as MySQL is concerned.

No bill.. no more win32 or .net programming for this programmer.

Judge: "The court is of the opinion that Apple’s minimalistic design isn’t the only technical solution to make a tablet computer, other designs are possible,".. shame on you Samsung for lacking in imagination they have not even considered the following non rectangular shapes like a round tablet or a triangular one?

Feature Future Enhancement

.. I suggest weaponizing responses to comments.. where we can fire (figuratively of course) a nuclear bomb to comments we dont like and the comment gets marked as 'nuked'. As an alternative we can also lob cacti if nuking is too strong.

Send James Gosling!

.. now that would be awkward..
