    which programming language?

    No-one should even have to got through the pain of learning C as their first language. Ever. OT: Go for C#. It's great for making 2D games, and easy to pick up as a beginner. It's faster than python, and teaches better coding principals IMO. Also, with Mono, it is easy enough to build for...

    My medical condition finally got the best of me.

    Pretty sure that was a joke, even if it wasn't, your comment was just unnecessary for this thread. Please be respectful. OT: This is really great news. I don't post much, but browse the 'temp daily and Xuphor is one of the few members imo that make the 'temp such a great place, and it really...

    Android or iOS?

    Whilst I use android and would never go back to iOS, I frequently frustrated at the low quality of most android apps, as well as the ridiculously bad AP. With my next phone I'll probably jump ship to WP8.

    Google+ Is Now Bigger Than Twitter, Only Second to Facebook

    And this is exactly why the distinction between 'User' and 'Has an account' needs to be made with social networking sites. IIRC, everybody with an account for any google service is automatically signed up when they log in. This is just number fudging. As a side note, more people should use G+...

    Canonical Announces Ubuntu for Phones, Coming Soon to Galaxy Nexus

    Also, this will work a lot better on low end devices than android does. Android is a java virtual machine (dalvik vm) running on top of the linux kernel. By nature it's inefficient. Ubuntu Mobile will allow native code to run as it isn't running in a vm, and in theory should be faster. That been...

    Canonical Announces Ubuntu for Phones, Coming Soon to Galaxy Nexus

    I get the feeling that the UI would quickly become cumbersome. On another note, what happened to the old mobile ubuntu? IIRC, they were developing it for intel x86 mobile chips a few years back.

    Tempmas 2012 Week 4: Tell me what you want, what you really really want!

    The happiest moment for me was quitting religion and celebrating Christmas for the first time with some great friends. Great way to end what hasn't been the best of years for me.

    Hardware Wii U teardown by PC Perspective

    It it shouldn't. There's been a lot of work put into the chip desing and cooling system. Besides, it's 2012, not 2006 anymore.

    Android Samsung Galaxy S3 root: Contacts & Apps deleted?

    Use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488 It can back up all your user data so you can be sure you won't loose anything. Though my contacts are all stored on Google, helps when flashing ROMs as you can restore them easily.

    Windows 8 Release to Manufacturer Build Leaks

    ? Anyway, the KMS server keeps one coming back on line then going offline again. Half tempted to make a .bat file to send the command every so often. The VHD method was a waste of time. Im too much of a noob to deal with server stuff

    Windows 8 Release to Manufacturer Build Leaks

    Not for me. DLing the Hyper-V files, try activating that way. First impressions are good though. 3rd party drivers don't work well yet (I can get metro apps to run by using built in drivers, but then Minecraft doesnt work ) but they will probably be fixed soon. Metro takes a bit to get used to...

    Hardware Could a Wii U game run at 720p or 1080p depending on the controller?

    The graphic on the Wii U controller are processed on the controller. Adding more controllers doesn't affect the graphics on the TV. To have two U Pads running at 60FPS, the Wii U would need to send 2x as much data, which it is unable to do. To get round this, Nintendo drop the frame rate to...

    Apple must publish notice that Samsung didn’t copy iPad (UK)

    That's how you make a connector in the early 2000's. Not how you make connector now. Its just fugly. In short, 40 pin connectors are not a design statement. They are functional. If you can come up with a 40 pin connector that looks modern, doesn't look like and apple connector, and can be used...

    Apple must publish notice that Samsung didn’t copy iPad (UK)

    Those 18 pins are for the standard USB cable. The laptop dock and other docks make use of the other pins. They're not redundant. Just not used in the data cable. It's a ridiculously absurd suggestion that an OEM would use a dock connector just to look like Apple. It's required. Sure, they might...
