Hasta La Gadget!

If you have an iPhone there is no doubt that you’ve at least heard of the iPhone Dev-Team. They are the ones that are behind most of the iPhone jailbreaks and unlocks out there, and continue to deliver with each major release that Apple puts out. As of April 30th the team says that there have been over 9.8 million installs of ultrasn0w, which is the most recent unlock solution that can make the iPhone work on other carriers.

If you follow their Twitter account you may have seen some of the postings they made about their visitor stats going from January 2008 all the way up to present day. The screenshot above is from their Google Analytics account, and shows off their 56.3 million visits, 22.3 unique visitors, and 93.7 million pageviews. What I thought was cool was the graph showing the gradual increase of traffic as well as the spikes. Some of the surges in traffic can be related to Apple product releases, such as the iPhone 3GS in June 2009 (the largest spike) and the 3rd generation iPod Touch released in September 2009 (the following spike).

The team also broke down some other stats from their site…

Top browsers:

1. Safari
2. Firefox
3. Internet Explorer
4. Chrome
5. Opera

Top visiting countries:

1. United States
2. Germany
3. United Kingdom
4. Canada
5. France

Countries with the lowest number of visits:

1. Åland Islands (lowest number of visits)
2. Zimbabwe
3. Zambia
4. Yemen
5. Wallis and Futuna

This kind of stuff may not interest a lot of people, but I’m kinda a stat nerd so I found it to be pretty interesting. I’d be curious to hear what their operating system breakdown is.

You don’t have to go to the lengths of compiling a statistical project to know that advertised and actual broadband speeds are two pretty disparate entities, but it does help. Ofcom, the UK communications regulator, recently took a thorough look at 11 broadband packages, which collectively account for over 90 percent of all British broadband subscriptions, and found that actual download throughput was less than half (only 45 percent) of the advertised “up to” speed. The worst offenders were resellers of BT’s ADSL lines, with Orange dipping below 3Mbit on its 8Mbit lines and TalkTalk occasionally offering only 7.5Mbit to users paying for a 24Mbit connection, while Virgin’s cable connectivity won out by sticking most loyally to its listed rating. What Ofcom proposes for the future is that all these service providers start offering Typical Speed Ranges that more accurately reflect the bandwidth a potential subscriber would be buying into — a proposal that might actually have some teeth as the British Advertising Standards Authority is currently in the midst of a review specifically concerned with broadband advertising practices. Transparency in the way we’re sold broadband? That’d make a welcome change!

Shocker! UK regulator finds average broadband speeds are ‘less than half’ those advertised originally appeared on Engadget on Wed, 02 Mar 2011 05:42:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

Windows only
As a programmer there has probably come a time where you’ve wondered exactly how many lines of code you’ve actually written. I was actually wondering this the other day, and searched around for the best way to figure it out. That’s when I stumbled across the free and portable FileStats app for Windows.

What you do is point FileStats to the directory on your computer where all of your code resides. It will navigate through all of the files in a particular directory recursively diving through subfolders, and then it will return with an aggregated count (grouped by file extension) of the number of lines of code you’ve written.

There’s only one problem that I’ve found with FileStats so far. After you open it for the first time you my want to go to the Options -> Preferences and add all the extensions you typically write code in. I disappointingly found that a lot of extensions, such as “.c”, are not included in the list of file extensions that should have their number of lines counted. So if you run this out-of-the-box you may think it’s not working since it will just return zero for the number of lines of code for most of your filetypes.

I decided to download the source code for Pidgin, which is an awesome open source instant messenger application. I ran it through FileStats and it came out with the numbers you see in the screenshot above. In all there is over 1.8 million lines of code that makes up the instant messenger. Now that’s cool.

Growth. You don’t have to be Gordon Gekko to recognize that exponential growth in revenues is the mark of both a buoyant industry and, on an individual level, a healthy participant within it. Kudos must, therefore, be handed out to all the top four app stores globally, as each one expended its total revenues by over 130 percent between 2009 and 2010. Interestingly, Apple’s growth looks to be slowing down as the App Store begins to reach a saturation point on smartphones, while Nokia’s Ovi Store and Google’s Android Market blossomed during 2010 by multiples of 7.2 and 8.6 times their 2009 size. Apple’s share at the top has shrunken as a consequence, a trend that looks likely to continue when Windows Phone 7’s Marketplace and the Ovi Store are melded into one through this year and beyond.

Apple maintains lead in mobile app store revenues, but its share is shrinking fast originally appeared on Engadget on Fri, 18 Feb 2011 07:21:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
