+1 Interesting if I could.

I agree about New Vegas, but the brown eventually wore me down. Cavemen had paints, why hasn't anyone in this massive city mixed up a spot of colour?

Because that new account will have 0 followers and 0 exposure, and no links to the company (except for PhoneDog in the name). The account he used to promote the stories was (presumably) followed by people interested in the stories. It's the followers the company is interested in getting.

This seems to me to be a pretty legitimate case (but IANAL, nor have I RTFA). Noah's last tweet when he left PhoneDog should have been along the lines of "I'm no longer employed by PhoneDog, but my new account is @noahkravits. Expect more insightful tech stories to be posted on there.".

I'm confused. You hate The Elder Scrolls, but like it's formula, and played through Fallout 3, which is "The Elder Scrolls with guns", twice.

Is this a masochism thing?

Prompt is a pretty good SSH client, available on the App Store. Unless of course you're talking about running an SSH server on your phone. To what practical end? So you can SMS someone through CLI?

I don't see a need for an FTP client on my iPhone, but a quick google brings up http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ftp-on-the-go/id286479936?mt=8. Are you actively using your iPhone as an FTP server? Is that a workaround for using it as file storage or what? If you need to FTP in to transfer files, why not host an FTP server at home and just login to that instead?

AirVideoServer will transcode and stream pretty much every video format to the iPhone, if it's needed. Are you having trouble ripping your DVDs/BluRay's to a video format iTunes/iPhone can play?

Presumably you want anyone to have access to your RSS feed, so surely just using "Public" would meet the requirement. All people have to do is add you to their circles.

Android fanboys/fangirls? Doesn't sound like fanboy talk.

My mate's constantly having to close applications when he's done with them on his Galaxy S (stock, not modded) because leaving them running just kills the responsiveness on his phone. Doesn't matter what app it is.

iOS resource management is miles ahead of Android's. And that translates to "it just works".

Why would defaulting to zsh be a drawback?

Which shell do you normally use?

Huh, never occured to me that you'd have those problems with Unity and a touch screen. +1

So much for the Unity interface being for tablets.

No, according to those stats, more people bought Android than iPhone. Personal preference wasn't measured.

I assumed the Darinbob was talking more about calendar invites - like in Google Calendar.

I imagine Google sees Calendar as already covering the "events" thing; I mean it's not difficult to set up a calendar that you and all your friends have admin access to, or just use Calendar to set up an event in your own calendar and email out invites to whoever you want if it's meant to be private. It lets you let invitees invite others too if you want.

Nicer G+ integration with it would be good (but I guess the top bar will take you to the Calendar if you need it). Maybe an option to post event invites to your circles (and thereby make them "public")?

Yet from the summary:

I haven't RTFA, but the summary seems to indicate the phone wasn't taken, and the threat was made by the police, not the security guard.

You could just Archive mail too. You won't be able to look for it via the Old label but search will work as normal.

And yes, Outlook's search is horrendous.

Actually, I don't ever recall being stopped from removing the shovelware post-install. I think the evidence only shows that they want to ship the shovelware with their new PCs, not that they want users to use it.

I'm pretty sure their contracts with McAfee et al. are only for distribution, not usage.

I already do this in Firefox (and you can too!). Search keywords have been in since forever and are managed through the search engine management part of the UI. Once you've got the ones you need set up you can just remove the separate search bar from the UI.

I run SMAC on my Mac (hah!) using Wineskin. I'm running the GOG.com version.

The only issue I have is with mouse support in the newer engines - try 1.3.12 or older to get around it.
