True. They did tend to try to price themselves at the high end of the market (usually without reason)

To celebrate the creative use of technology, Google wants one lucky developer artist to be a part of it. Google has teamed up with the Barbican, Europe’s largest multi-arts conference venue, in order to create a DevArt interactive gallery to be displayed at the Digital Revolution exhibition this summer.
The Medieval and Gothic artistic revolution, Renaissance, Baroque, Romanticism--is coding and technology the next revolution?

At the Apps World North America conference in San Francisco, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak gave WIRED a wide-ranging interview, touching on everything from his preferred iPhone 5s color (he has all three) to the fictional operating system in the movie Her. But his most interesting comment by far was a heretical recommendation for his former company: Apple, he thinks, should release an Android handset. Sure, and Microsoft should ship a Linux distro

Apple ship an Android handset? What on Earth is Mr. Wozniak smoking? (No, I don't want some. The only time I would be caught smoking is if I had been set on fire.)

Why not? According to many in the industry, the Android OS is clearly better than iOS. It being open source, they could probably remove any dependency on anything Google.

The hub control, available for both HTML/CSS/JavaScript and XAML/C++/C#/Visual Basic, makes it easy for you to present heterogeneous content in a beautiful and meaningful way. The info can be in the form of lists, text, videos, links and images. Oh good. I've been wondering what to do with all this heterogeneous data I have lying around

Why are the example always of content I would never waste my time looking at?

Because the example writers are usually many miles distant of real world coding?

Since launching modern.IE last year, developers have saved over 1 million hours testing for Internet Explorer! We launched modern.IE with the simple aim of helping web developers test their sites with IE and are thrilled to find that the site has made a real impact after just one year. Step 1: ship browser that follows standards. Step 2: declare victory

The enigmatic and oppressively difficult mobile game Flappy Bird has turned into quite the cash cow for Vietnamese developer Dong Nguyen. In an interview with The Verge, Nguyen revealed that the game, which has been sitting atop the App Store and Google Play Store charts for nearly a month, is earning on average $50,000 a day from in-app ads. "Never underestimate the power of human stupidity."
