What is it with Apple's new chargers? They seem bent on killing everyone.


It's proof that Apple is a cult, they must make sacrifices to the spirit of Steve Jobs.

Does anyone else have a Nokia with the Xpress browser, version 3.7.0? I was wondering, because mine seems to have a serious problem.

When surfing, if you try to start writing, it:


  • Goes into keyboard mode (i.e. it centers on the area where you write)
  • But the keyboard isn't visible, but still pressable
  • If you're lucky, you can remove the keyboard with a guess-touch
  • Otherwise, you'll have to tap the red button

And I can't, for the life of me, figure out why it does this.

This is probably the most magnificent and innovative idea in the history of smartphones.

I am literally crying at the moment.

I'm crying with you.

This is, if implemented, the greatest idea to ever happen to smartphones. It'd be great.

Looks like someone at Bloomberg is mad about Elon possibly becoming CEO. It wasn't real.

From MS:
We appreciate Bloomberg's foray into fiction and look forward to future episodes.

In capitalism, you pretty much have a 50/50 chance of being rich or poor. In communism, it's 1/99. What makes people think they have the luck/skill to become the 1% if they can't even succeed in a 50/50 society???

You could already run Android apps on BB10 anyway, but official support is awesome.

Yeah.

Wonder what it'll do to the current platform choice, though. As it stands, Android apps are mostly Java, whereas native BlackBerry 10 apps are C/C++, HTML5 or Adobe AIR. Would everyone drop BB's dev tools (including Cascades) and switch to Java?

Well from what I understand they wouldn't need to switch, or they would only need to switch if they were exclusively BB developers.
