Umm... it's a support board for people who have bought a product, not a soapbox to whine on. It's one thing to have negative threads about how their product they bought doesn't work, it's another when people who haven't bought one complain.

This really isn't possible since the product assembly is only a small portion of the "made in the USA" part. There's hard drives, flash chips, LCD screens, and other components that are made overseas as well. Some components (like hard driv

To my knowledge, all carriers in the US have at least a 14 day 100% money back refund with no egregious loss. (Maybe lose the $30 setup fee.)

At that point you might as well use the "personal" accounts. For me, since there's just two of us on something that doesn't require that much disk space, we've been using a micro account for a year now. (I guess Github doesn't have space re

Actually, the iPhone is a UNIX too. Jailbreak it (and install the UNIX utilities) and you have SSH access to it. You can compile and install all sorts of *nixy things on it. However, the default kernel state is require a codesign for everyt

The first time a user goes to StartCom on Windows XP on IE6, it will pop up with a "cert error". This is because the user hasn't recently updated their root certs through a super-optional Windows Update install. However, any subsequent load

Here's my question: If Twitter is replacing all links with their t.co AND including the full URL in the API, why doesn't the API just put the full URL in most "full" versions (web, RSS, API) and only use the shorturl on extreme bandwidth si

Never discount Microsoft, if only for the sole reason that they'll just throw infinite amounts of money just to be relevant. For example: Xbox and Zune.

I've heard a few rumors that ACTA's primary purpose is not meant for piracy controls inside the respective countries like US or EU, but instead about piracy of street-vendors in third world countries. The reason for the secrecy was to keep

HTML5 is a moving target that's changing everyday. Until the spec is 100% completed, finalized, and sealed, there's never going to be interoperability. And interoperability is only one goal of HTML5. The other goal, in my opinion, is shiny

I don't see how Apple could get more "open" than what they're doing with Webkit and their HTML5 implementation. Let's take an example: CSS Animation. They have: * Made an official spec for a CSS3 addition, labeled CSS Animation. * Submitted

Huh, no WebM support.

Since the 3GS (and 3rd generation iPod Touch) has both more RAM and a faster processor, you don't see checkerboards much. You still see them a lot if you scroll while the page is loading. An example, I just did: take a big, long, complicate

And, if the rumors are true (the rumors are never true), we'll get Safari 5 on Monday. I'd like to see the browser score then.

I understand the business move, but I never understood the "cash cow" reasoning. Most apps appear to be in the $2.99 to $.99 range. The 60 cents Apple gains from a $1.99 app barely covers credit card fees (for multiple currencies), bandwidt

If "HTML5" is a term used for different things for different people, what's the term used for "shiny CSS toys" like the Apple HTML5 page? CSS3? Because that's actually what I'm interested in. All the canvas and video support is fine and dan

A big congrats to Nate Silver; this is the journalism equivalent of being bought by Google or Microsoft.

I think you're confusing "mature", treating people like responsible adults, and "mature", a market that has fully expanded and is not growing. If the author from Australia cannot sell an app, than the Android Market is an immature economic

Chrome uses Safari/WebKit's developer tools which are unhorrible, but has a couple of issues. (If you can simply paste to insert a new css attribute or DOM element, it would be amazing. Right now there's only hacky ways to do that.) What's

Yes, but an iPhone 2G could reasonably run all apps except for a few hardware features not present (MMS, GPS, OpenGL ES 2.0, video camera) because it received all OS updates. And until iPhone OS 4.0 comes out that effectively end-of-lifes

There are two kinds of freedom. To bring up a different subject: There is the freedom to allow you to install Flash. There is also the freedom from the burden of Flash. My great fear about allowing Adobe to install Flash on the iPhone is th

I agree. There's absolutely no problem with using, for example, ActiveRecord and MySQL when using Rails because it's the default option and it's not a completely horrible option as some of the NoSQL crowd says. Due to the vast number of lib

Yes; for video-only uses, Flash is no longer needed. No doubt the avalanche is because a popular smartphone/tablet does not allow Flash, but Steve's point is that Flash is no longer needed because similar functionality can be performed in t

You know what, this is a phisher's dream. Even if we could trust this website for not saving the data, the connection is a regular non-secure connection, so all somebody would have to do is catch some open wireless connections or similar.

As far as I know, the last time Apple formally responding to the internet debates was when the FCC forced a statement about Google Voice: "HTML5 is open and free enough for anything you want. Google is more than free to create an HTML5 app.
