Yeah, there isn't as much high quality software for Android as there is on iOS, but there is just as much junk on both platforms - it's actually a problem that both have when trying to find new software - you pretty much find stuff that's trending or because you're specifically searching for an...

Nexus 4 is a whole different kettle of fish.

I still wouldn't consider anything other than Macs for my "proper computing needs", I love unix and I happen to think that Apple still make awesome computers. (I ran my old powerbook into the ground, it was still my main home computer up until 2 years ago when it got replaced by a MBP). They've...

More chance of the world ending this month.

While apple have been adding exciting new features to iOS (Passbook, Maps, umm, erm, umm, other stuff) google have breezed past them with Android - I thought I'd never say that and I thought Apple would remain at the top of their game and that I could only see myself owning iPhones in the long...

You'd prefer it more Linux like then? ;) :p

Actually, one of the things that always irritated me about tethering in iOS was that to turn it on you had to display all the connection details on the screen, I never understood the logic of sharing that information with anybody who can see your screen just to turn it on.

Its all about problem solving. I wrote an app which lots of virgin TiVo users used to make the us iPad app work with the UK box, its quite cool when a couple of hours effort is used by people.

Yes, you can get video senders, they're functional but they're not brilliant. They run on the band band as wifi signals, so you can pick up all sorts of interference on them.

My bumper order from the initial launch day has just shipped!

It kept me amused for a while and then I got bored of playing with it! The airplay protocol was basically nothing more than a simple webserver which advertises services via bonjour. I just integrated mongoose, bonjour and vlc to make it work. It's obviously progressed since then, keeping up...

I wrote an app when AirPlay first came out which allowed you to stream to a computer. I wrote it using the Qt framework and the VLC libraries so technically it should have worked on OS X, Windows and Linux. Yes, I was bored.

IIS at a guess.

I'm laying money that if he thinks it's a trick question then he answered it wrong.

Why is that a trick question? And more to the point, what did you answer?

eh? That's a dns issue, not an apache issue.

Awesome. I ordered one (in a separate order to my phone) on launch day. Despite the phone arriving a couple of days layer, the bumper still hasn't turned up!

Yeah. Supply is almost certainly being constrained by the "nexus money pot". Google are selling these devices at either cost (or more likely a loss) and they are after all having to buy them from LG, so there's only so many that they can get out into the supply chain. There was always going...

If by iterative you mean iterative backwards - iOS6 is iOS5 but worse. I still wouldn't touch a non nexus device with a bargepole, but apple have been making some odd decisions in the past year. Who knows, with foreskins departure things might get back on track with iOS, but I'm not convinced...

Its amazing, love mine - although if iOS6 hadn't been so poor I probably would be wandering around with a iPhone 5.

What is Apples obsession with calling stuff fun? Since when has selecting which song to play been considered a fun activity? They keep using the word in the most bizarre places.

That's almost certainly true in the iPad world. Outside the iPad world it's not, I actually prefer the 7 inch form factor to the bigger form factors because it's more comfortable and easier to hold/use in one hand.

Yeah, good old Mosaic. I believe there were about 3 web pages, there wasn't even a search engine then! lol Not that you needed it with the handful of web sites that actually existed. I think there was a maintained list of websites that you could visit.

My first ISP was Pipex, incidentally the first UK ISP, my mate worked for them during the summer holidays. I remember sitting at a web browser and thinking, umm, how does this work, how do you make it do anything?

I'm old. :(

Mine was a BBS with terminal software and a X-Modem transfer program. The flashy ones would decode a image as you downloaded it, in all it's VGA resolution GIF glory. Infact even that's probably a lie because the acorn archimedes used CGA monitors.....

Flash git. That was fast, I remember upgrading to a modem that did 2400 and being amazing by the speed. I also once download a 4GB file on a 56k modem. (I had to write a piece of software to handle dial-up and automatically restarting the download)

Wow, back on sale (briefly) in the US yesterday....8-9 week shipping. Rarer than rocking horse shite. (PS this phone is awesome)
