As of last month, they were still storing passwords in plaintext. They sent me my password over email when I forgot my password. That, to me, is not a good indication of a savvy & competent company. Edit: I haven't used them for hostin

I found the other set of instructions, regarding a truck overturning & magazine's public letter, interesting. Anybody know the source and original Chinese text? The article only says it was "issued by the 'Ministry of Truth' on March 23

And, if it was distributed computing, presumably we'd have heard about it and wouldn't be having this conversation.

Yes, I think so. This behaviour and uncertainty increases the cost of business when dealing with Apple's platforms. Similarly, China's practices increases the cost of doing business in the country. Both have leverage due to size of the m

Not sure about that, but they do censor child pornography. Like their practices in China, there is a note at the bottom saying that results have been censored. Try this search: http://www.google.ca/search?q=TiP5As2jNc

Not your parent poster, but his comments were very similar to what I heard in Chongqing, which is more traditional and less cosmopolitan than Shanghai/Beijing. My friend in Beijing has a completely different attitude. Tiny sample size, just

I think practical concerns would prevail here. If Apple only exercises this clause for developers who insult the King, there won't be enough plantiffs for a class action, and it would be too expensive for Joe the Developer to take Apple to

The success of the iPhone has shown that it's not about having the most features, it's about doing things right. Face it, we're disconnected with reality. Most people don't WANT to worry about file hierarchies, searching for the right soft

Well, that was his decision. Sorry to be so cold. If they want to force manufacturers to include this technology, legislate it.

Do this. Would also be useful for beginners who make mistakes and often need to repeat portions.

Toronto has a similar courier service that only hires people with mental health issues: http://www.awaycourier.ca/ They use public transit for pick-ups and deliveries.

That doesn't make sense. Why not just add rel=nofollow to all links?

Ah, and this is where Apple's expertise lies. They want a cut in every transaction that has anything to do with their product. From purchasing, to buying apps, to all maintenance. And they give you a feel-good experience from it too. The

And the third party is SearchYC, run by "a couple of guys". They don't even have a privacy policy. That being said, I don't fault the SearchYC guys for this at all- the extension leverages their site far beyond its original intended purpos

Nice extension. I wish the sidebar-slider was smaller, though; the "Y" logo would suffice.

People think this kind of trolling on ebay, etc. is funny, but I don't think they realize that they just made a contractual offer. If their offer is accepted, they're legally obligated to pay up. If the sale price is $250k, and they alread

Perhaps he is saying that the per-gig cost is not clear. It says buy now for $29, but the extra $0.15/GB/month to use S3 is hidden under "Why use S3?" (you might not expect costs to be there) We both know what S3 is, and know that they cha

The way Apple has been able to attract developers to making all kinds of applications is really amazing. And this is despite all the bad press over the App Store's review process. Having a strong developer community is typically where Micr

Absolutely. This is why child labour laws are typically stronger in more affluent countries, where there are opportunities for better jobs beyond factory work. The efficacy of education isn't really as much of an issue as the job prospects
