It depends. It's not uncommon to have clauses like "if you want W, the top grossing summer action flick, you have to also support carry X, Y, and Z crappy comedies".

Who is "they"? Apple or AT&T? While most of Apple's app acceptance policies are weird, most can be attributed to the soccer mom effect. ("Tonight on NBC Action News, watch as little Timmy downloads hard pornography on his iPod! Also, is

I agree. I think all theses articles are nonsense because I have yet to get a GV invite, and I have been waiting for one since it was GrandCentral. It's one thing for Apple to block a popular, well-known service (and I mean Facebook popular

I tried to do it myself and you pretty much have to write your own textarea implementation in Javascript. Wave as an idea is good. As a protocol I think is horrible for Javascript because either implementing the straight server-to-server sp

It took me awhile to figure this out, but if you double click on the element styling you want to add additional CSS to (for example, the right column shows #content p has "color:#bbb;", double click on the "color:#bbb" part), add semicolons

I attempted to create a Wave variant with little success. The issue I had wasn't the use of XML and it's technologies like XMPP, but the fact that the strength of XML (tree-based DOM) was flatout ignored in the delta OT scheme. Combined w

It IS a feature. This is abused by most pure Javascript apps such as GMail. It's just carried over to this CSS implementation.

Part of the anti-HTML5 crowd is more about simplicity and ease of tools. While you and I may understand HTML5 and it's underlying technologies (ECMA4, CSS3), it's confusing to developers who don't understand the reasoning behind certain fea

Safari 3.1 already supported most things (4 is still missing WebSockets). Firefox 3.5 (out soon) is a massive update to add missing HTML5 features and their updates are automatic and very transparent. You can start doing HTML5 today and be

Part of the rage problem is that last year's upgrade from 2G to 3G was at the lowest cost for two years starting at purchase date. This year such an offer is not offered. Is it legal? Yes. Historically Consistent? No.

I think you're looking at the problem backwards. Some parents feel safe not giving their children shots because everybody else's children had their shots, therefore the total number of disease carriers are low. The article states that some

Even then, if Psystar wins the right to use legally use OS X on their hardware, doesn't Apple have the right to refuse to sell OS X to OEMs, which is what I think the crux of the argument is, not the copyright/monopoly thing.
