Facebook tries to stop its staff using iPhones in 'dogfood' push
Re: BBC News
I wonder how many of the iOS devs actually do make money. If they weren't already a Mac owner, they would have had to purchase one before they could even start developing. Not a good start to the bottom line!
The Android dev suite runs on anything, and costs nothing. Maybe this explains why a lot of apps are decidedly amateur.
Now that is odd. What version do you have? I've just checked on my vanilla Nexus 7, JB 4.2 and there is no update. BBC News Version 1.1 is what I have.
If they are supposed to be supporting a wide variety of devices, they need to be testing on the wide variety of devices.
So far the Facebook Android app always seemed to lag behind the iOS version, even though Android is the dominant mobile phone OS.
So they needed to do something to give their staff a kick up the behind to at least get them to more accurately reflect the real world user base.
It's not just FB. How often do you see "The hit app now available on Android!!!", answer, a lot. How often do you see "The hit app now available on iPhone!!!", answer not much. For whatever reason, iOS always seems to get the initial attention. It will be interesting to see if this changes if the ipads dominance of the tablet market is threatened.
Now if only the BBC could be given a similar kick... Their Android iplayer is horrendously low bitrate, and their news app doesn't even do basics like rotate, let alone take advantage of larger tablet real-estate.

What amazes me is that the whole world wasn't sitting there going "Oh my god, those huge square pixels, they hurt my eyes!!!" for all those years before Apple (sorry, Apple's LCD manufacturing suppliers) brought along "retina".
And you know what... A large proportion of the world are still using those huge pixels without screaming in pain or going blind... Weird eh?
Although I'll have to admit I enjoy Apple fans re-arranging their arguments now somebody else has brought an anaconda to the willy-waving competition.

How quaint... I just turn on the FTP server installed on my Nexus 7 and send it over from my desktop! ;o)
(Or open the FTP client and suck it over).
I generally find iOS (and OSX for that matter) over protective and simplistic. Trying to do complicated things is either impossible, or buried. For your general Joe/Jane Bloggs in the street I guess this is great, but unfortunately I'm the guy they then ring up with the terrifying "Hey, Steve, you know about computers and stuff right? Well I have this problem with my iphone"...
I think I'll stick with my 'droid devices.
Having said that, I probably won't be buying an N10. The iOS OS wasn't the only reason I didn't buy an ipad. It's just too damn big! I really don't think I have a use for something like that. The N7 in my pocket is perfect for just that reason. It is in my pocket.

Re: Downvoted? What??
Thank you Charles! I had wondered about the downvotes myself, but then I remembered this is El Reg, so logic goes out of the window!
As you may have guessed, I too did several years working in the computer telephony industry, this included systems with voice recognition. As you know (and other probably don't), DTMF detection is usually performed on the telephony card, it's occurrence generates an interrupt so the processing application can then service the telephony card and point it to a new prompt or transfer the call etc. Voice recognition is usually farmed out to a specialist card, or to the main CPU as required.
Having a CPU or dedicated cards capable of continually processing audio from all the 30/60/90/120 inbound channels (modern systems usually have coax/fibre connections) is just crazy. Sure it makes the programming easy, just bind all the resources one to one instead of the more usual round robin pool allocation, but blimee that's gonna cost on the hardware!
This would only work if the queuing system kept a constant, unique, audio link from you open at all times. Whilst this is technically possible, many IVR / Autoattentant systems simply connect you to a common audio source (music on hold, comfort messages), and don't bother listening to you unless they really have to.
The resources required for speech recognition are also pretty high, so it would need a pretty beefy system to be performing speech rec on every inbound channel 100% of the time. Usually these resources are only allocated when required, i.e. when you've been prompted to say something.
So whilst it might work on some queuing systems, and the idea that an Apple system would be "spying" on you all the time isn't exactly shocking to me, I wouldn't go banking on it working in every situation.
You'll probably have more luck having a keyboard mash (don't forget * and #) and finding a get out of jail that way.
Alternatively, and preferably, just spread the news of the terrible support far and wide. This will reduce the number of customers, and hopefully you position in future queues if you haven't seen the light and taken your business elsewhere.

BBC iPlayer downloads BORKED by Adobe Air update
Re: Annoyingness ^ N for some large N
Get_iplayer works fine in windows, although I did have to pay with it a little - manually update rtmpdump to get all the shows to download correctly...
I wish rtmpdump would sort out the 32bit arithmetic issue (or just make it unsigned!), then it would cure the max show length issue - that only kicks in at about 3 hours (funny to watch the counter flip over the top and start descending toward zero before going boom!) so not a major issue. I only noticed it when grabbing some Olympic stuff.
Re: People still ...
As opposed to what? Paying for 20 minutes of adverts per hour for sky, or lowest common denominator "reality" shows with premium rate phone ins on the commercial channels?
Apart from the news, I watch almost 99% of TV shows "off-line" from either iplayer, PVR recordings or torrents when I've forgotten to record something, or the main UK channels stop showing a show after a couple of series and I have to resort to US recordings to keep watching.
Generally the BBC are pretty good, but their handling of the F1 coverage (sharing it with SKY, and only showing 50% of the races, with the rest being high-lights) is just a farce. I gave up on F1 at that point. God help them if they ever screw the MotoGP up like that!

Crafty app lets phones send data by ultrasound with speakers, mics
Re: Hmmm...
A thought came to mind last night (as they do)...
Surely a faster (and less annoying) way to transfer small chunks of data over a short distance already exists...
QR codes!
Most phones can already read them via the camera, so you just need a generator app on the "source" phone.
Obviously this is one way, no hand shaking or anything like that, but for most uses instances this would be able to send far more data, far more reliably and wouldn't annoy the pets (including children).
Nice idea, but 17KHz to 20KHz sounds a bit low to me.
I remember being able to hear above 18KHz when I was in my late teens, early twenties. No idea what it goes to now, but I suspect a fairly large proportion of them there youngsters would find this rather annoying.
Then again, bloody teenagers! Grrrrr!
I do feel sorry for the cats and dogs.
A bitter spill to swallow, or 'how to smeg up your keyboard'
The worst clean up I had to do was a Thinkpad with Orange juice.
The "offender" had spilt it at home the night before, and left it. By the morning the Orange juice had dried out, and left all the pulp caked onto the keyboard and motherboard.
Luckily Thinkpads are good for spares, so I skipped trying to clean the keyboard and just bought a new one for £30.
The motherboard had to come out and went into a bowl of water and be left to soak to loosen up with bits of orange fibre and sticky goo.
Soapy water and toothbrush followed. Then a rinse, dry and finally all the little contacts and switches were cleaned with contact cleaner.
Amazingly it survived!
Re: Anyone else..?
I remember accidentally spilling my cornflakes (with milk) over my BBC Micro when I was a wee nipper.
Off came all the keycaps and into the sink they want. The keyboard PCB was then disconnected and cleaned with soapy water under the tap. Finally rinsed from the water butt in the garden (rainwater is soft to avoid lime-scale problems!).
Keycaps got bagged up in a towel and then a "spin dry" over my head.
Unfortunately after a few days there was a funny smell, so the entire motherboard came out. All socketed chips were removed, and then that got the soapy water toothbrush clean and the rinse in the garden.
Result, it stopped smelling funny, and worked.
In fact it still works.
They don't make 'em like that any more.
Re: Simple solution
I really dislike typing on Apple keyboards. They're too flat, the keys don't have much travel, and they always seem to have a bit of side wobble too. I don't think they feel much different to a Sinclair Spectrum with a hard plastic cap stuck on the top... Oh, hang on, that's a QL keyboard. Yes, that's what they feel like to me.
I can understand the need for a flat, short travel keyboard on a laptop. It keeps the thickness down, and you want a laptop to be <25mm thick (<15mm in Apple-land). But a desktop? Come on! Let's have a nice solid keyboard with a positive Cherry click please!
Plus my cat won't walk on my big clunky keyboard, but happily wanders all over the Mac one, and even sits on it. Makes a mighty fine mess of any document you might be writing if you happen to forget to lock the desktop before going to make a cuppa!
"What on Earth are companies such as Apple thinking? Anyone would think they had deliberately designed their peripherals to be irreparable, forcing you to buy replacements more frequently than was previously necessary. Ho ho, as if."
Yes, as if... Have you ever tried cleaning the bits of lunch and dead skin out of an Apple mighty mouse? The bloody thing is glued shut.
I regularly clean my 5+ year old Logitech mice, and have no problem, the use two screws (shock horror, witchcraft!) but when the Apple rodent died on my other half's Mac I gave up, cursed and bought her a Logitech too. Luckily she hasn't completely succumbed to the church of Apple so I could get away with it. It also means she got a 27" 2560x1400 Dell monitor with a far more useful non-reflective panel for half the price of the Apple equivalent.

Ahhhh…this week was filled with highs and lows – warm temps, frigid temps, inspiring lunches with friends and not seeing Nathan, basically, at all. Here's what caught my eye this week!
Clothing company uses female PhDs as models! Rock on!
This meditation on finding the extraordinary in the ordinary seems fitting for everyone (not just parents). I've been thinking a lot about the liturgy of daily life – the sacredness of chores and daily walks and everyday occurrences.
I have a dream to live abroad again one day and I thought this mother's perspective on Paris was a very interesting response to all the "French people are soooo much better than Americans" stories.
I love David Sedaris (we both grew up on Raleigh!) and it warmed my heart to know he hates overhead lighting as much as I do. Sadly, Nathan uses overhead lights and it drives.me.crazy.
We're hosting a dinner party this weekend and making this lemon pie. I can't wait!
Bonus: the new Avett Brothers video makes me miss North Carolina so much.

Anyone think Malik Scott could make some noise at Heavyweight???
He was a young and promising prospect, but he ran into some injury and managerial problems, as well as weight issues that hindered his career for a couple years. In 2012 he came back, down in the 220's and in shape, and got back into action.
His last fight was in September, against Bowie Tupou, the same guy Jennings just beat. He looks pretty quick for a heavyweight, a nice jab, and all around pretty solid skillful fighter. He lacks power, which could hurt him. But what do you guys think???

I've been trying to contact him for years to see if I could help get his career jump started. He was in the top ten back in 2005. Great skill, but not a great punch. I hope he doesn't waste his career. Should have been HW champ a long time ago.

He has an excellent defense, he may have potential...
But he definitely needs a better promoter/manager who will get him into some meaningful fights.

Install or extract PHP files ?
There is often tow choices to download PHP files, either zipped or executable (.exe).
I would like to know if there is any difference or effects between extracting PHP files in C:\PHP or installing it (by the .exe) in C/Program files\PHP ?
Does the one or other method needs any particular cautions or considerations in the use of PHP-based programs?
Thank you

I would recommend you install php with auto installer. sometime getting problem with zip file and drivers not update properly and that's the reason php script not excute properly.
Much of this depends on how the server is setup.
If you use a Plesk based Windows server, installing PHP the "normal" way would be a huge mistake.|| Need a good host?

I prefer using the exe version. The built-in MSI technology will automate the installation and provide optional configuration choices. But do make sure the version you are using is supported by your control panel. Most problems can be solved with some minor tweaks and editing of ini file. Its all well documented.
Install PHP from Web Platform Installer.
