Submission + - Google Android Studio vs. Eclipse: Which Fits Your Needs? (slashdot.org)

Submitted by Nerval's Lobster on Wednesday March 19, 2014 @12:55PM

Nerval's Lobster writes: Google’s Android Studio is a development tool for Android based on the IntelliJ IDEA platform, one that managed to attract a lot of hype when it rolled out in mid-2013. Roughly a year later, the platform is still in “early access preview,” and work on it is ongoing. Eclipse, on the other hand, is the granddaddy of IDEs; although it doesn’t offer native Android support, it does have some nice tools to help you build Android applications—one such tool is the Google Plugin for Eclipse, made by Google. Developer and editor Jeff Cogswell compares Eclipse and its Google-made Google Plugin with Google’s own Android Studio, developed with the help of the people who make IntelliJ IDEA. His verdict? Eclipse is beginning to show its age, especially when it comes to Android development, while Android Studio offers some noted benefits. "Android Studio is still in preview mode, without an official release, even if that preview is in pretty fine shape—its status certainly shouldn’t prevent you from using it, at least in my opinion," he writes. Do you agree?

Submission + - SPAM: It was the worst industrial disaster in US history—and we learned nothing 1

This story details how, five years later, nothing has been done to stop it happening again, thanks to energy industry lobbying, federal inaction, and secrecy imposed on Congress.

I have always asked myself: What is the difference between Bitcoin and "real" money? (taking out the fact of the centralized version of real money) So, if someone hacks into a bank system, considering that now most of the money has no backing in "real" bills and coins, they will be stealing digital goods, the same as if they were stealing Bitcoins.

I thought Chromeless, which evolved from Prism, was the answer to that...

That just show us apps are meaningless... just a nice link to a webpage, and to prevent you to realise that, they block the direct access. Welcome to the future of the internet... one million apps doing the work of one... ohhh, that's what Apple calls efficiency.

It may be that the more religious people are very religious *because* they fear death, and not the opposite.
