this is the only interesting use i've seen for an android tablet.

This guy did a LS1 engine swap into his competitive drift RX7, wired in the factory LS1 ECU and then outputted the ODB port to a cheap chinese android tablet which he uses for his gauge cluster.

A lot less loving around than either A) spending hundreds on accurate aftermarket gauges and fabricating mounting them up or B) interfacing the factory RX7 gauges with the LS1 or C) mashing the GM gauge cluster into the RX7 dash.

that owns, that guy probably set all that up for about $150 from dealextreme

ive tried to use "cable bridge" instead


but its like using a picture of a 3.5" floppy as the icon for "save", it'll never go away. even when computers have some future storage technology and connect over quantum tunneling people will still probably keep using the same terms they're comfortable with.

my big problem is that it's in an advertisement, i feel like they should be at least a little bit accurate. "32gb storage" maybe?

what is this posted:

Apple focuses on (almost) one thing at a time. And they tend to do that thing right when they release it. I don't think they've even been trying with notifications. They had the badges and alerts, and they added third party support for that, and that's literally been it. No other effort or time spent. They haven't been doing it wrong, they just haven't been doing it.

They're guaranteed to completely revamp notifications for iOS 5, but it's unlikely they'll do anything before then.

They've been doing other things, sequentially. It wouldn't surprise me if they're sort of coasting on iOS 4.3 right now and have moved more manpower on Lion, with a smaller team sketching out the broader ideas for iOS 5. Then they'll move people onto iOS 5 once the big feature ideas for Lion are implemented.

apple: half asses everything but one thing

everyone else: nice even C+ effort on everything

APPLE RULES THERE SO MUCH BETTER SUCK IT NERDS
