This looks fun!

One thing though, the site's meta description has a typo: "Multiplayer online game. Guess where a city on the world map is. Best played with frieds."

Actually, before buying my Bose headphones I seriously looked at the Sony's. I even googled for a way to disable the touch control on them. But the only thing I found was a video on YouTube for the previous model, which showed how to disassemble the headphones and disconnect a wire to achieve this.

But good for Sony for giving that choice to the user via a firmware update.

Yes, I've used the Sony's for a couple of hours, but I've never owned a pair. Couple of my colleagues have them and they seem to be happy with them.

My biggest issue with touch control is the user experience. That is, when it works flawlessly it's as good as physical buttons, but I rarely experience the same level of reliability with touch as with buttons.

If you have the Sony's and you're happy with them, then good for you. They're good headphones, just not the best ones for me.

The physical buttons was the exact reason why I bought a pair of QC 35 II's even though Sony WH-1000XM3's were available and Bose QC700 had just been introduced.

I own a pair of Monster iSport Freedom 2's which have a touch control for volume and skipping, and oh boy is touch control a bad idea on headphones. For example when wearing the headphones under a hood, while outside in the rain, it sometimes registers rain as a touch action, so your volume or song changes suddenly. Also the touch control accurancy isn't very stellar indoor either.

So based on my experience, I gladly take physical buttons over touch controls, since for me touch controls are more like a gimmick than good usability.

Oh I remember the case. The tax inspector was working alone late friday evening and he was found on monday morning. In this case I wouldn't blame the other employees for slacking...

Oh the title got me thinking that this is music related, like a new version of Songsmith. I'm glad I was wrong, the device looks very nice!

This also caught my eye... But then again there are many examples where Paypal has handled issues badly, so I'd guess this just the way they want their brand to be perceived.

We did something similar a few months back, though there's no CGI effects in our video:

I think this damages the Android brand.

I think Google and others are doing a pretty good job on this without Nokia's help. With all the different versions of Android, different hardware specs and the lack of updates to current phones, it's PITA to create an app which works reasonably well on most of the devices.

And because of that, Android starting to look more and more as the new Symbian.

In the recent weeks I've seend a few businesses make stupid statements on their websites and on social media. As a business owner I just don't understand why they're doing that. What do you achieve when you call your customer/associate/employee a(n) asshole/liar on your website?

I haven't heard of Joyent before this whole thing started. And to be honest, I still don't know what they do, but I'm pretty sure I don't want to do any business with them.

I don't have the exact dates at hand but if I remember correctly the hacking happened few weeks before they acknowledged it.

And the only reason they admitted it (well at least it looked like that) was because the info had already been leaked through their irc channel[0].

I have the exact same feelings/experience about Linode. I really liked their service but I cannot trust a company that doesn't promptly inform it's users that their credit card info has been compromised.

Maemo/Meego wasn't really an option. It wasn't ready back then and it doesn't seem to be ready now either, since rumours say that Samsung has axed Tizen development.

I think the only company currently developing Maemo/Meego succesor is Jolla with their Sailfish OS. Although they've also missed deadlines they've given themselves, so their product is starting slip more and more into to the vaporware category.

One other option to gitolite is SCM-Manager[1]. It's written in Java and can be deployed to an application server or installed as a standalone version.

I've used it for a year and I've been quite happy with it.

The whole news about Microsoft buying Nokia is just a rumor. It's probably something that might happen but it's still a rumor that has been circulating since they announced their alliance in 2011.

So I think writing "And it explains so much about the disastrous strategic choices Nokia made for its mobile phones division over the past year." is pretty far fetched stuff.

The author also added "citations" from WSJ that don't appear in the original article (for example "... in part because of the price and Nokia’s own strategic predicament"). So I wouldn't give much weight on what this guy is writing.

Didn't the companies (Google, Facebook etc.) just give the information to NSA, or did I miss something?

I don't see how SSL key length is relevant in the whole discussion if the weakest link is the company, not the transport method used.

It has been reported that the initial idea to not honour the deposit insurance actually came from Cyprus, not from the EU. But I agree it was stupid move from the EU to go along with this plan.

Same here, I've never had any outage issues with the London datacenter.

Though I had one issue where I couldn't install 64bit image to the server. I sent an support ticket about it and in less than ten minutes the whole thing was sorted out.

They have a working Android application which uses native linux code to handle the DRM.

So Silverlight not beign supported on Linux is not the real issue here.

I just released Device Debug to Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.korri.andr... It reads Android device specs and device log and shows them to the user. It also allows the user to share this info through email or by writing it to a file.

The main reason for making it was to have a way to get information from devices you don't have access to. For example if your client complains that your app doesn't work with her device, you just instruct her to install Device Debug and email the info to you.
