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)

Yes, different vendors but there's no reason why it shouldn't have looked the same.

Rooting is nothing more than installing su and busy box binaries, in all other respects its stock. Google messed up by not making (by forcing Samsung) the nexus 10 just a bigger version of the 7. The 7 feels and looks quality whereas the 10 looks like its something that you'd find stocked in...

Apparently it needs deeper integration with the is, hence root. I could be wrong though, it was just something I read the other day.

Rooting really isn't that bad or difficult, certainly much easier than maintaining a jailbreak. Unlock boot loader Flash cwm recovery Boot into recovery Install from SD card (installs busy box and su binaries) On my nexus 7 it automatically went into cwm after an ota update and as all I had to...

Chrome is known to have less than ideal performance, that said I've not seen any pages that rendered slow, they've all been quick. If you want blistering performance you can stick the old android browser on as long as your device is rooted

Bootloader unlocked, cwm flashed as recovery and device rooted!

Awesome....love it, fast as f**k too!

I was going to say that I thought a machine of that age will not support 8GB.

It's a worse device (slower) anyway regardless of the "for kiddies" interface. Just get the Nexus 7 and install the kindle app on it. Or ignore us and get the inferior Kindle Fire HD.

Nexus 7 You'd have to be "special" to buy the kindle fire HD over it.

Mine has been delivered. However, thanks to the google checkout flicking my home address back to my card address during ordering, it's gone to my parents house rather than our house. I thought I was going mad, I was sure I'd picked the correct address. I ordered a bumper afterwards as well...

Who knows...maybe they'll tell us all - then again, maybe not. I suspect it was probably much lower than that. The americans are going to have fun in a few hours time.

I got through the second it went live, it went to place the order but rejected it because my postcode was in lower case! By the time I'd changed it to upper case all hell had broken loose and it was impossible to get an order through, ajax would timeout or the cart would just empty. Eventually...
