Or in a locked "porn vault" on the device. Which there are already apps for.

...and use cases the iPad DOES meet, but which the poster doesn't realize it meets. Like "tabbed" browsing, listening to music while running another app, and playing free casual games.

I don't expect Google to remain perpetually on top of the search engine business. But neither do I believe that Microsoft, as we know it today, is capable of being the company that knocks them down.

The lingering of IE6 is not inherently a "hidebound bureaucracy" problem (though hidebound bureaucracy doesn't help), and has little to do with "crushing change control processes". It's the natural consequence of a number of very sensible b

Personally, I do. In addition to showing a distinct lack of class, in cases like this it also dilutes the advantage of being well known in the first place. Thanks to "who he is," Bram can direct the attention of a lot of eyeballs. A levelhe

The C&D is not for a "device", the C&D is for an act: bribing people to violate their agreements with Apple. If the $100k bounty had been offered for secret information about a released Apple product, it would have been C&D'd ju

I'm not sure the app is (was) a pure image browser. The dev said: "There is currently over 100,000 pics spread between 15 categories with much much more coming soon." The "categories" thing makes no sense unless the app was able to associa
