Only if you really want something that fits the OS X theme and looks slick.

If you are more interested in actual functionality and features, something like NetBeans (free) is way more capable. It’s a full-fledged IDE. But, like most free applications, it looks like ass. So there’s your tradeoff. Frankly though, the fact that NetBeans is OS-agnostic is nice for me, as I can go anywhere and still get a full IDE for editing. And it’s so bloody powerful.

Neat idea, but it doesn’t support the new audio codec, which is a very, very good reason to get this HTC device.

If the animals are already dead, who cares? Do you think the pile of dirt where they’d be left to rot is going to be offended?

Actually, we can’t be sure that the information is just gleaned from crawling. It’s quite possible that they’ve teamed up with companies like IMDB for this sort of information. They could do the same thing Apple did with Siri (teaming up with Wolfram Alpha for tons of facts and math).

Uh no, no one did this back then. Now everyone’s trying to do it, because it’s an incredibly difficult problem to solve. Google has the statistics, they know that the majority of their users use Google for fact checking and answering very specific, simple questions. Often, people don’t want websites, they want answers. Google will still do normal searches as it always has, and it adds zero clutter (it’s sitting in the right margin that never gets used on today’s high resolution monitors).

Even if YOU don’t like it, Google knows, and I agree, that the vast majority will.

That’s counting the tax credit. The article doesn’t.

In addition to what was already said, no, it’s not. It’s certainly putting her on her legs and helping her move them, but notice the crutches. She’s basically dragging herself through the marathon, and that’s a hell of a feat.

Unlikely you won’t if you aren’t already, but for me, it completely eliminates the “constantly check phone for notifications” issue. Even better, since it vibrates on my arm, I can actually feel it as opposed to my phone in the pocket.

Finally, this might even extend my battery life for my phone, just because I won’t have to turn it on nearly as often to check the latest notifications.

Yeah, this isn’t similar at all really. Based on what Twitter described, it sounds like there wasn’t even a security breach at all. To me, it sounds like a list a Twitter spammer may have kept. Things like: a huge list of spam accounts, duplicates to make it look larger than it is, and passwords that don’t match usernames anymore, probably due to being changed already. Doesn’t sound at all like a security breach, and more like just a spammer’s files getting leaked/distributed instead.

It’s a license. If you use the map, you’re required to credit them for it. They’re not asking you, they’re telling you. OSM was just being polite by reminding Apple of their requirements in using this.

Unfortunately, as these things improve, price does not. Tesla has great range, but also a gigantic sticker price. And fast charging is still not to “fuel pump” levels necessary to replace gas cars.

I’m all for electric, it’s just way far out yet.

Probably not much more. You can see hints of the limitations in the video already. The vectors can only draw so many lines and patterns at once per frame. I’m not sure how vector display technology has progressed since (if at all), but I would imagine most of the problem lies with the slow display, not the CPU.
