What I meant and what you appear to be ascribing to me are separated by such a wide gulf that I must have communicated very poorly, indeed. I am not saying anybody gets a pass for anything. I am saying that the comment above has simply subs

Don't confuse the art with the artist. Being familiar with context and the tropes of the genre (like braggadocio) are important for understanding white rappers, too. It's the same as with any other lyrical genre of music or any other form o

Thanks for your "analysis". Clearly you've given this a lot of "thought". We've obviously "progressed" since the 80s, and I feel very "reassured" that "race" and "class" are no longer barriers to social mobility. If a quote needs more cont

a no-hierarchy version of the Windows Start Menu Nonsense. LaunchPad does in fact have hierarchy in the form of user-created folders and pagination. Even if it didn't, comparisons to the Start Menu are odious. The main reason the Start Me

My software may be free, but my labor is not. In other words, your previous answer was a cutesy lie. You do not, in fact, earn a living giving away software. You earn a living getting people to pay you to to write software. That you don't

This excludes people from hacking and learning, eg children. That's nostalgia talking, I think. I took apart a lot of things when I was a kid, too, and put most of them back together plus or minus a few screws--but I just learned everythi

Opera works incredibly faster than Firefox on low-memory machines. I strongly second this. I recently tried Opera for the first time in ages on an old ThinkPad ca. 2001 and it's astonishing what it can do with as little as 128MB of RAM an

The trouble with your question is that you've left out any mention of the .dmg that the user actually downloaded. Don't get me wrong, I like disk images as much as the next nerd, but it has been my observation that there are way too many wa

@silviocabral I was actually talking about iLife, not the Mac App Store, when I tweeted that. -- http://twitter.com/beltzner/status/28045413547 I'm getting a little tired of this new-new-pretend-journalism wherein the blogger tries to b

6.4 Apple and our customers place a high value on simple, refined, creative, well thought through interfaces. They take more work but are worth it. Apple sets a high bar. If your user interface is complex or less than very good it may be r

No, this is characterized as a "sneak peak". The main objective seems to have been to get the Mac App Store rolling. There is plenty of time (and at least one regularly scheduled press event) between now and next summer for Apple to pace th

Then, too, there's the recent survey of developers by Appcelerator and IDC that found an overwhelming preference for Android over iPhone. Bullshit. Android rated higher in some questions, but trying to pass it off as having found an "over

Note the absence of 'make money;'. Edit: Apparently some of you are either offended by money or have mistaken this for a joke. My bad in either case. I was (and am) unable to think of a way to point to the proverbial elephant in the room wi

Submission title is inaccurate. The 72% figure is for "best positioned to power a large number and variety of connected devices in the future". The "best long term outlook" figure is 59%. Ten of the other twelve questions favor iOS, but the
