What? Their definition of 'Must-Have' is rediculous. You must be able to apply textures to your photos? You must be able to browse KickStarter without using their website? You must play Plants v Zombies 2? You must have information regarding airport lounges?

Maybe these specific apps aren't available on Android, but suitable alternatives certainly are for most of them. I have absolutely no use for most of these, so I don't know, for example, the best Android twitter app or photo manipulation app. Cool Reader has a completely customisable interface, as a replacement for MegaReader. Also the main 'feature' of 'iA Writer' seems to be that it has punctuation keys on the main screen so you don't have to change keyboard modes - Android allows you to use a different keyboard anywhere you want, so just choose one with punctuation visible on the main screen and use it with any text editor you like.

I can't be bothered to search for the rest, but I've seen many apps that can scan business cards like the LinkedIn one, and there are several KickStarter apps.

The only thing on their list which offers something unique and novel seems to be IFTTT.

First time I read this headline, I missed that 'hornets' was plural and imagined a single, huge hornet on a murdering rampage across China.

Don't think there's anything to stop manufacturers including both micro USB *and* wireless charging. But yes, eventually we should probably move on...

I was also wondering why the fact the house was built after 1986 has anything to do with their banning of technology. Why the hell would you construct that sentence in that way?

Burning all 783,562 square kilometres of Turkey would probably provide quite a lot of energy.

'Fast enough' for any (user-oriented, not pure computation) application of computers is when the computer can do the work as fast as you're able to request it. If everything is done 'immediately' with no perceptible delay, there's no reason to do it any faster.

I don't know the details, but it obviously does. I've played Trine with three players on one computer - two sets of keyboard and mouse, and one gamepad.

You're still missing something here. As parent says, "Given a ciphertext N characters long, there exists a one-time pad that will decrypt that ciphertext to ANY clear text message.". That's ANY, not A LOT, or VERY MANY. So yes, whilst you could easily dismiss a cookie recipe, you're still going to get an extremely large number of plausible results, plenty of which will contradict each other. Your example of a time for a drop is particularly bad - 01:00 is equally as likely as 02:00 as 03:00 as 04:00...

Every time there's a story that mentions OpenOffice, I check to see whether this bug has been fixed yet. It hasn't. The comments are probably TL;DR, but the idea is that if you attempt to join two paragraphs into one paragraph that would be longer than 65535 characters, it discards all text beyond that point. No warning, no way to undo, and worst of all, absolutely no interest from the developers in fixing it. The standard response? "You shouldn't make paragraphs that long". It's a word processor - it should handle text. Microsoft Office has no such issue.

We provide ordering and ePOS software for takeaway businesses, which tend to stay open to customers throughout the transition period. The software now uses UTC internally and local time only for presentation, so it doesn't have any problems itself (unlike the previous software, which used to go crazy), but I just love the mass confusion it seems to cause everybody on the night of the change (orders placed after other orders having times 'before' orders that should preceed them), and for the following week (people trying to run reports of that day, up until 2am, the computer having to pretty much arbitrarily decide whether that was 2am version 1 or 2am version 2, and then the totals being 'wrong'). Seriously, what sense does it make do pass through the same hour twice?

Except that wouldn't make you your own grandfather. Either you would stop your actual grandfather having sex with your grandmother, preventing you from being born, or just be someone else that your grandmother slept with as well as your grandfather, potentially creating some more relatives for you, but none of those children would be you.

Getting to the front page of a site, I also usually find it quicker just to type the URL or do a quick search. However, I quite often want to remember a particular page or article, or something nested fairly deeply into its parent site that would take lots of navigation steps to reach, and for that a bookmark is superior.

It would've been if this had happened. Merge too much text together and... goodbye.

He's above a link saying "View a list of the world's biggest cyber attacks.". Guess he's apparently one of those.
