But they're not adding "one UI for all form factors". Ubuntu has a different UI on each.

Wow, uh, thank you! :)

Hi, I'm transgender and have been transitioning my online identity from "Andrew" to "Andrea". The problem is that my Ars account, "AndrewFaulds", uses my old name. Could it either be deleted, or renamed to either "Andrea2013", or "AndreaFaulds" if that's not possible? Thanks! (I would rather...

Free calls to regular phone numbers? Really? Anyway, it is newsworthy for lots of people like me that only have their friends on FB, unfortunately, so to us it is very useful.

I think that's somewhat reasonable. They might use it internally for analytics purposes, perhaps to see what kinds of things people try to query that Siri doesn't yet support, and to see where Siri trips up. Storing individual users' data makes sense, because you'd want to know if certain...

The exploit is from our old friend hackforums: (remember the RAT slaves? Same forum) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5531412

This completely neglects what I feel is the real reason for Samsung's success here: They also make many lower-end variants of their Galaxy line with similiar physical design and the same TouchWiz UI, which get you hooked earlier. Every Android phone I've had has been a Samsung Galaxy phone, but...

It says a lot about the fans of this game that they raised so much money, yet I have never heard of it. Must be a dedicated fanbase.

Sometimes simple solutions are apparently the best - here they're using just three static files hosted on S3, polled periodically. No fancy WebSocket or Comet stuff, no dynamic pages. Wow.

Anyone who thinks Chrome OS isn't a "real OS" has clearly never used it. NaCl, people. The web is a bloody powerful platform now, and Chrome OS is even moreso.

"iWatch"? But Apple already did that and abandoned it, remember this?:

I'll only stop needing Opera Mini when there's 3G where I live. I live in a town not far from Aberdeen, in Scotland. Outside big cities, 3G reception can be awful. It's not just price, it's availability.

"Only real potential competitor to GPS"? What about Russia's GLONASS?

A mistake?

To whoever downvoted them: they have a fair point. Korea, China and Japan don't really get on, to say the least...

I was hoping from the title they literally meant "ring on your finger". "Bio"metrics with diamonds would be very interesting, and might actually work, since diamonds are unique, aren't they?

When it was originally created, 4 billion addresses was way, way, way, way more than they ever expected to need.
