Doesn't look like it. The screenshots of the games are really not very enticing.

Looks like iPad-ish UI. Tab bar on the left, pull to refresh etc.
Re:The Hobbit: Why 48FPS Makes Film Less Magical on Wednesday December 19, 2012 @04:26AM (#4941819)
I watched it both in the 3D HFR and 2D version. I prefer the HFR version since the action was more fluid. But that could just be the crude conversion. I really didn't noticed the 48 fps after 30 mins or so, I just enjoyed the movie instead.
Why is it so expensive to ship internationally?

Better search in Starred projects! I can rarely find a project I have starred.

How are they owning it? WebKit is open source.

Dutch is much closer to German to us (Danes) than Danish.

The Mail app on OS X has this for some time now.

Great. Another thread turned in a discussion about Apple.

I cancelled my order a couple of weeks ago, because they keep delaying it. Waited 3 months.
Re:The iPad 1 on Sunday September 30, 2012 @05:53PM (#4594334)
So you are saying iOS 6 sucks, yet you complain you can't install iOS 6 on iPad 1? Why not just stay on iOS 5? It works great and almost all the apps work on it.

Facebook is similar to people who still use hotmail. There are much better ones now, but they still keep the old hotmail account.

QR code is unfortunately still more common than NFC. Everyone was hoping that Apple would make NFC common.

No Silverlight I guess.

Other companies don't do marketing then?

They helped with the touch wheel, not the mechanical wheel from 1st gen iPod.
They won't. It will be very hard to differentiate themselves from thousands of other Android devices.

Re:_.m: A port of Underscore.js to Objective C on Sunday August 05, 2012 @06:20AM (#4341090)
This uses SubjectiveScript.m by same author: https://github.com/kmalakoff/SubjectiveScript.m

A, N are typedefs of existing types.

"While JavaScript allows flexibility in variable types, Objective-C requires explicit variable types. To try to keep it brief, I tried to condense types down to the shortest name possible:

typedef BOOL B; typedef NSInteger I; typedef NSUInteger UI; typedef float F; typedef double D; typedef id KV[2]; // key-value pair

#define NSO NSObject #define A NSMutableArray #define NSA NSArray #define O NSMutableDictionary #define NSD NSDictionary #define S NSMutableString #define NSS NSString #define Date NSDate #define N NSNumber #define E NSException"

Just read that want me to stay far away from this.

If you use iPhone/iPad, Thermo (http://thermo.me) does exactly that for temperature. Temperature right now and temperature 24 hours ago.
