So, if you hold an iPhone at the typical 12 inches from your eyes that works out to 477 pixels per inch and at 8 inches it's 716 ppi. You have to hold iPhone 4 out about 18 inches before it falls to 318 ppi. So the iPhone has significantly lower resolution than the retina

No, no, no! Mr. Soneira has it all wrong! The math works out if you are inside a reality-distortion field, since all physical laws either change or do not apply inside said field!

When I first read the title of the story I thought someone was charged (as in criminally) because they destroyed a copy of IE6 at Microsoft.

I would say that it's only an addiction if it's actively interfering with your normal life. That is, your job, your education, your family, and your interpersonal relationships.

I don't use IM'ing and texting as much as I used to (in college) but I still use it. I don't think you can really call these addictions. These are just different forms of communication. I just think they might be overreacting a bit. For example, the comment from one of the students about being secluded... one would feel the same way if they were told not to talk to anyone.

Now if they were whining that they couldn't chat when they were hanging out with their friends... that might be a problem. I think chatting and texting augments social interaction. The problem is when it turns into a substitute. So I'm not saying that internet/text/chatting addiction doesn't exist -- we just have to be careful about defining what internet addiction really is.

Posting to an iframe and loading the iframe with dynamic content?

Haven't RTFA (slashdotted), but I used to do "AJAX" without "AJAX" in the early 2000's. You would post to a hidden iframe and the dynamic content that was loaded in the iframe was Javascript, which would manipulate the parent page. Either that or it was JSON would you would then access from the parent page.

My apologies, I skipped over that part :)

Yes I have, actually.

I've emailed both senators from my state:

Senator Kyl
Senator McCain

And my congressman:

Jeff Flake

But thanks for assuming that I haven't done anything and being sarcastic. Hey it's ok - there's different ways to karma-whore.

This is it, people! The end of the internet as we own it! After the ruling yesterday anyway... oh and also that combined with the fact that earlier this year we took a step towards corporate personhood, allowing corporations to participate in the political and legal process.

Say goodbye to the free and open internet. Say hello to the tiered-pricing model, and the metered-usage model. These companies don't care about the users. They care about the bottom-line and profits. The free market won't help here, because obviously they're going to strong-arm any competition.

Welcome to the Digital dark age. The US, the pioneer of the internet, will end up as a backwater province of the intarwebs.

Maybe I'm being cynical and alarmist. Oh well.

Everyone expected China to do this. It also means that they are saying that the Chinese in HK are different from the rest of China. I wonder if that will affect anything. Not to be cynical, but I am sure the propaganda machine will go on overdrive to put a spin on it.

That was my bad. When I saw "Lance Corporal", I immediately thought "Marines".

Back then it was just an experiment. Cool to see it being used in practice. Here is the link that goes to ABC news:

Also, technically he's not a "soldier". He's a "marine". Us Army guys are "soliders" :)

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.

How terribly disappointing, Obama. At least the EU threw out this stupid treaty. Hopefully this won't be successful at all.

Very bad taste.

I doubt it's in the US :) Based off the currency he used for his scanner (€80) I'd say that he's somewhere in Europe :) Good suggestion though. I wonder if the country he is in (or Europe in general) has a similar organization.

From what I see, it looks pretty good for working with an already existing project. It would help if they talked about starting a project from scratch using this IDE. Either way looks like something worth trying out. To all the people who say this looks like a terrible idea, I think that's rather subjective; It looks like a matter of taste (emacs vs. vi, eclipse vs. netbeans). I think it would help from a maintenance perspective (fixing bugs) or even if you're adding stuff to an existing codebase. I'd like to try this out anyway.
