The problem is even worse on the Nexus 10 methinks. Chrome for Android has to have the worst tabbed interface of all mobile browsers; it's really puzzling that Google continues to stick with this broken UI, especially considering Chrome is the default browser on all Nexus devices....

Holy crap, this whole time I thought Safari just didn't have a feature to re-open a tab, and it turns out it does after all!! I feel... disappointed in myself for not knowing this. ;) But really, Apple should get with the program and add the Cmd-Shift-T shortcut to help out folks coming from other browsers. Right now it's not mapped to anything so it's not like it's going to cause a conflict. And also, it's nice to be able to reopen a tab independently of, say, undoing that comment you just typed...

Well, yeah, that would work too. In that case they should have dumped the desktop completely. Either way would have made more sense than what they actually did.

Windows for ARM was and still is a great idea. But Windows RT as they implemented it was incredibly dumb from the get-go.

MS: "Why don't we offer a 'pure' ARM tablet experience, but throw in the desktop anyway since we can't manage to fulfill our own App Store restrictions with Office. But at the same time, we're too disorganized to come up with an emulation layer for x86 so let's disallow all desktop apps for ARM (except for Office, but screw all other developers)! That should go over great!"

Consumers: "OK, so this machine has great battery life but only runs a fraction of the apps of either Windows 8 or Android tablets? And yet it still includes a misfit desktop mode that's totally useless for anything but Office? WTF???"

Not exactly. End users can't do it, but parent apathetic developer can indeed very easily submit their Android app with little to no modification to be sold on the BB store.

By supporting this bundle you are supporting open-source educational software and the project (AbulEdu) that is making the development of this software possible. If you don't feel like these particular programs are worth your money fine, but at least the idea is a noble one. Instead of complaining about the state of things and bragging about how you could do things better, why not try to get involved in one of these projects and actually make a difference that has the potential to benefit students around the world?

Disclaimer: I don't work for the company or have anything to do with this project; I just found out about it via this news item. Just my 2c.

It took them a while to catch up with SWT after SWT came out. But they did actually manage to catch up. The one exception is the Swing file dialog, which was shit. But there's nothing stopping you from calling a native file dialog using a bit of hacking.

In English you can just as easily say "I'm going to the theatre", with the same level of ambiguity. It's amazing how easily TFA is debunked.

Technically maybe, but in real use, just about every native English speaker will understand the first to mean that I'm doing it right now and the second to mean that I do it habitually.

TFA isn't even true. I can say "I'm going to Aunt Sally's tomorrow." That's a perfectly correct idiomatic English sentence.

Yep, GP is a moron. Confirmed. Adobe tools are dead simple.

You sir, are full of misinformation. When you set Swing to use native LaF, it actually uses the system's own drawing of the widgets. That's true on Windows, Mac and Linux/GTK+. Has been for years. Only in certain areas (e.g. the file dialog boxes) can you tell that it's not native, because of the layout and functionality, not the LaF.

Yes there is, it's called RTSP/RTP and it's well-supported by VLC and QuickTime (and by extension their browser plug-ins). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rtsp

Agreed. Google's algorithm was the best when it came out, but I get the feeling more and more these days that we can do so much better! Fact is, Wikipedia is a more useful source of information than Google for around 1/3 of my searches these days. That's saying something.
