Re:Ask HN: Which developer laptop should I buy? on Monday January 21, 2013 @12:59AM (#5090141)
Some of the Zenbook models have one of the RAM sticks on a slot, so one could easily upgrade to 10GB, however losing the dual-channel.
Re:What killed the Linux desktop on Wednesday August 29, 2012 @03:46PM (#4450669)
Choice here too - have been running Linux at home for almost 10 years and I never regretted it. There are almost no downsides, except careful choosing what hardware to buy and the lack of Photoshop (though Wine helps with that now).

Which is rather good - the features of Gnome 3 + the look and usability of Gnome 2.
Re:Kendo UI is out of beta on Wednesday November 30, 2011 @11:37PM (#3298356)
Touch scrolling is not enabled for mobile devices since there is native scrolling already (with two fingers in iOS below 5 and with one in iOS5). Custom scrolling can be additionally enabled.

Well, we have all that on http://www.kendoui.com/, but unfortunately we didn't post this news piece.

Regarding the license - we are using a "beta" license that should protect people from using beta quality software in production. We'll move to the dual-licensing scheme once we are out of beta. We also updated the FAQ accordingly.

There is a drop zone if supported by the browser. Try dropping a file here: http://demos.kendoui.com/upload/async.html in Chrome or Firefox.

Since we are doing the animations with CSS transitions when available, we are affected by several bugs in Chrome's 3D CSS transitions (mainly when switching into and out of composited mode): http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=87437 http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=77126

It can be seen as flicker in Windows and there are some reports of black flashes in OS X. Switching the 3D acceleration off seems to fix them, but unfortunately it can be done only with a command line switch. We may forfeit the CSS transition animations in Chrome in later releases if we can't find a fix for these issues.

Re:Nokia N9 and an incomplete list of browser features on Tuesday June 28, 2011 @05:30PM (#2707416)
Well, Apple's repos and bugtrackers are internal so we may never know. However the differences between them can indicate separate repos or at least far away branches. N9's browser is built from WebKit2, so it may be also more prone to crashes due to Chrome-like process separation, a feature Lion and iOS 5 will also have.

Or rather with less features disabled.
