Superflous "ands" in my previous reply courtesy of swiftkey.

I'd agree with you if it ran stock Google firmware, but it doesn't. I'd never buy an android phone that didn't run a stock firmware, and ie. Nexus device. Shame., and because I'd have replaced my 4s with an s3 months ago if it was a nexus device.

Wait a week or so and there will be new Android devices that aren't crippled by design. You'd have to be mental to buy an S3 right now.

Yeah. But my guess is that he doesn't - I bet the backlight draws more current over the space of a minute than the bluetooth chip does in standby from 100% battery to 0%. It's massively pointless. And WiFi will use even less current when not actively transmitting.

Do you have automatic brightness disabled and the screen brightness on the lowest setting?

I like CAN, mainly because it's open collector and the (backoff system means that) highest priority message is always guaranteed to succeed.

Seeing as there's quite a few of us, what sort of software (and technology) are we all working on then? I'm currently doing embedded DSP stuff for radar technology. I spend half my life buried in schematics, datasheets for electronic components, logic analysers and oscilloscopes.

Angry birds is a physics game though ;)

True, but then again, maybe I'm a "code snob" and have a different definition of what a games developer is! "I'm a games developer" "Cool, what did you write, COD? Halo?" "Umm, no, erm, Bubble Blast" "Oh, erm, cool"

If you don't have good a-levels in maths and physics then you can definitely forget your dream of game development! However, you also have to bear in mind that most programmers don't come into contact with anything other than basic math (and zero physics) because of the types of applications...

Of course you are (unless of course you fall into the bracket of piss poor programmers)- genetics determine everything about you. I couldn't spend 5 days a week painting and decorating because I'd want to commit suicide after 2 minutes, but other people are wired to do that, likewise they...

And that. I've known people with degrees who still can't get their head around how you "know where to start" when writing a program. IMHO, it's something you're either wired for or you're not. I think it's possible to teach somebody to be a poor coder, I don't think it's possible to teach...

What's your maths and physics like? The games industry is notably hard to get into because its pretty much a pre-requisite to have x years game development experience and y number of released titles AND good qualifications in maths & physics.

I'd laugh the ass of somebody if they came looking for a job and all they could program in was c# and java. Learn "c" because most languages are either supersets or borrow heavily from it (even the toy languages like java and c#). You'll learn stuff that you wouldn't with object oriented...

Students, especially in the states where apple dominate campuses. Students leave their doors open all the time, if your laptop is locked down then its not going to get stolen.

And you'd be right. Clearly google have had a problem since day one when every phone manufacturer "bastardised" android and created fragmentation hell. Clearly between the first release and jellybean they've had bigger fish to fry, i.e making stock Android a worthy competitor to iOS. Now that...

The biggest problem with the 5 isn't the hardware, it's the software. Maybe they've decided profit margins can be even bigger if you do the bare minimum of development. I'd like to know exactly what the iOS team have been doing for the past year. I don't expect major visual changes (and...

There's your answer then, flash. Connected through a german VPN any adverts (or crap like that) will be served in german. Flash is s**t.

Flash? I've seen this behaviour before on windows in internet explorer.

Yes, but only because its not a nexus device - unless you course you have a fetish running out of date operating systems.

The fact that iOS5->iOS6 was such a non event won't have helped matters.

Nexus. Why? Because it's Nexus - aka "google experience" and runs a stock android that is provided by google.

Re: iPhone 5. Pre-Orders 14/9. Ships 21/9. iOS6 19/9 Bit old school, movies are where porns at these days.

Re: iPhone 5. Pre-Orders 14/9. Ships 21/9. iOS6 19/9 Wow, you'll certainly notice a big difference then.

Re: iPhone 5. Pre-Orders 14/9. Ships 21/9. iOS6 19/9 See that Ninja in the corner of the room there? No, of course not.....he's 30 miles east of where he should be courtesy of "The Amazing New Apple Maps". ;) :p

Re: iPhone 5. Pre-Orders 14/9. Ships 21/9. iOS6 19/9 Nope.

Re: iPhone 5. Pre-Orders 14/9. Ships 21/9. iOS6 19/9 Sadly, yes it is.

Re: iPhone 5. Pre-Orders 14/9. Ships 21/9. iOS6 19/9 All 1 new feature of it?

Re: iPhone 5. Pre-Orders 14/9. Ships 21/9. iOS6 19/9 Loving this one...please let it not be fake. (sometimes tube workers do have a sense of humour) Incidentally apple's response: Which is interesting, because unless they've started employing wizards and have developed minority report style...
