Developer News

Posted on 15:08 by Unknown
The last week or so had a number of articles for developers.

The term "Glasshole" was unveiled. It kind of amazes me how much emotion Google Glass seems to invoke.

There are two articles questioning the future of smartphones. Oddly, this question came up in my own life this week. I was playing with NFC and found it is nearly useless because of the need for a PIN on my phone. The fact that your phone has access to your entire digital life means it is much less useful for quick uses like NFC or utility apps. It makes me wonder if one doesn't need two or more different devices. Certainly security partitioning as it exists (i.e. you put in a PIN then get access to everything) is wrong. For many things one needs instant access, but for others it should be relatively hard (i.e. deletion of all data on your Google Drive should be rather hard to accomplish).
