HTC announces S740: because two keypads are better than one (15)
on Engadget (14672) permalinkFiled under: Cellphones, Handhelds Looking for the Touch Pro in a slightly less conspicuous package? HTC (who else?) thinks it has the answer in the S740, a pretty thorough revamp of the S710 of old. The basic concept is the same -- wrap Windows Mobile Standard into a candybar package with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard -- but the S740 takes design cues from the Touch Diamond and Touch Pro for a thoroughly 2008-ish look.

Performance Rant (3)
on A Curmudgeon in Redmond (8) permalinkI've often seen code with performance problems, and watched people struggle to improve it. I've also seen people struggling to achieve optimal performance while writing code. In both cases, I've witnessed lots of folly committed in the name of performance. So here are some of my observations on the subject: If You Haven't Measured It, You Don't Know What You're Doing In performance work, everybody has an instinct about what will help and what won't. ...Contribute comment

Cranky Windows Guy: Apple's iPhone Bugs Stopped Me From Switching to a Mac [Iphone Bugs] (36)

You know what I'm talking about: blue screen of death jokes, spelling Microsoft with a $ in place of the S, saying "it just works" with a smug, chubby-faced smirk. It's always been annoying, and it's always made me want to avoid using Apple products just so I wouldn't turn into one of those people. But ...Shared by André Elias (220) André R.

- Divino said: Fico até surpreso de ler esse artigo por um editor do Gizmodo, que é um site que sempre gosto de dizer ser "o maior grupo de Apple-fanboys reunidos sob um único teto".Só queria que fanboys aprendessem isso: nenhum sistema é perfeito. Reclamar dos defeitos de um, enquanto diz "é a vida" pros problemas da Apple, não é apenas arrogância, é estupidez.Continuo interessado em um iPhone pra celular, mas prefiro meu Windows PC pra desktop.

- cek said: damn, this guy wrote the blog post I was planning for me.
- iomegadrive said: I agree. Why does Apple get a free pass when bad things happen, but every other company gets skewered. Is it because the more Steve Jobs ignores us, the more we want his love?
- besighyawn said: "The problem is that Apple has this reality distortion field that they use, which is a brilliant handling of PR most of the time. They give out tiny amounts of information, and by being so stingy they make everyone beg and salivate for little scraps But in the end, Apple is just a company like every other company. They screw up, they release things before they're ready and they botch crisis control. The reality distortion field can't cover for things like that. Their shit still stinks."
- Ricky said: I agree with 98% of this. The difference being I have a first gen iPhone so I don't get the dropped calls .. but I have had a few issues .. the lagginess for certain.
