"Go screw yourself Apple." How professional.

This is especially true when the iPhoneOS has typically used around 100MB since the beginning. 28MB is not much to keep multiple apps around.

Virtual memory (memory paging and segmentation) is the foundation for being able to start and stop apps. Otherwise memory would have to be defragmented. Both don't require the ability to store somewhere, they both are useful in physical mem

The biggest proponent I see for Apple wanting to stop jailbreaking is app piracy, which I heard was a big deal, especially around the decent $10 games from companies you've heard of (EA, etc.). Personally I'm on the side of the fence that w

Video is great whenever I want to learn and do something, but it's hard to skim a video to find a certain piece you need.

How many people do you know, whose job title does not start with computer and/or IT and/or sysadmin, actually use the terminal? Think of this as a "meta-filesystem". Instead of asking the OS for files and folders, an app just asks the OS fo

Your generic post looks much like a bot attempting to gain some karma before spamming than a human conversing about the topic.

Alas, the Law of Facebook Login states that people will click anything on Google because they blindly trust Google.

Maybe it's because I use Safari on Mac, but it actually uses the <video> tag so it's somewhat more portable.

http://gizmodo.com/5480421/the-ipod-touch-is-this-generation... Look at the numbers for the iPod Touch, almost two thirds of all iPod Touch owners are below 17. Given how many iPod Touches are out there, how many parents know about Pare

The Youtube video says Square is available, but it isn't? How do I sign up?

Actually, the few times I'm in Windows I do use Safari. It's mostly because I prefer the Mac-style font aliasing and it's available as an option in the Window's browser.

Holy crap, look at that high number of Safari users too! Are they all Safari/Mac?

While this article curses a lot to get attention, I think it will fall on deaf ears because I do not have other phones to test on. Unless a simulator or emulator is readily available for download on my platform of choice, I will not test ag

I really hope that MacRuby is the answer to "unsigned app execution" because the interpreter can be controlled to whatever issues arise (ie. bandwidth, etc.)

So why doesn't Google, a significant stakeholder of H.264 with both YouTube (don't want to reencode) and Android (H.264 is better on battery life due to hardware considerations), just sponsor Firefox's H.264 license?

Depends on how jailbreakable it is.

What do you think about the Whirlpool hashing algorithm?

I don't know this for sure, but I heard you can put a consumer video card in a Mac Pro. You cannot boot from it, nor use it in OS X (due to both lack of drivers and EFI support), but it will work in Windows via Boot Camp.

I keep saying this with every Wave article: Wave is HARD ! It's not the XMPP server-to-server stuff, it's the server-to-client Javascripting that is a giant pain in the ass. You literally have to have a HUGE textarea or designMode parser o

They do _call_ over any issues with the App Store. For example, I got a friendly call having in my description: "free version will be up as soon as it's approved."

The "Facebook Integration" is literally nothing but a URL to Facebook's share page that's not unlike those copy/paste "Share on Facebook!" you see on practically every blog. And it's only for the App Store. It's nothing special really.

I don't think this theorized tablet is for coding your giant Ruby on Rails site with a massive Textmate project list on a memory consuming Safari debugging session. (Actually I don't even think the Macbook Air with non-upgradable 2GB fits f

I've written about this before. Until Google releases both code and protocol for a client-server integration, Wave is too complicated for the web. I spent a whole week barely trying to emulate the same thing in Javascript and I couldn't do

Actually, I like the iPhone as is. While I think openness and freedom is nice and will further advance all platforms, Apple's stance on the App Store (and other misgivings) doesn't personally offend me so much that I would give it up; it st

So in summary: iTunes doesn't allow open devices, AT&T and Apple's single-provider agreement is bad, App Store approval sucks, App Store approval sucks, App Store approval sucks. As much as I want the above fixed, I'm really, really tir

Does Justin.tv have a non-Flash way of viewing streams? While creating one without Flash is awesome, it's still annoying to have Adobe's horrible Flash implementation crash (and or bloat) watching two-three hour streams.

At that point, you're dependent upon Google for running your public number. If somebody comes out for a better service, or Google decides to charge money for the GV service, you might not be able to transfer your number. I'm all for giving

No, but but they have massive plans to rollout LTE. LTE is a 4G technology with 4G being defined as IP address + data stream, no fancypants, no application (ala telephonery) has specific own physical/link layer.

It doesn't work on mainline Safari either.
