Maybe the law itself is unconstitutional (I won't argue that either), but there is nothing that I, a private party, can do to you, another private party, that will violate your right to free speech.

I'm not going to argue, but this one thing always bugs me, and it happens all the time: "You get people like Universal, who yanks down a Youtube video that they have no copyright claim to, simply because they don’t like it and they can. Th

It's not like they had a bunch of people sitting around a conference table thinking up the phrases people might ask it. It's a natural language parsing engine; it understands "horny" as sex, and pulled up related Yelp listings.

That's not really Apple's style though.

I'm not sure I understand. Is Sprint planning on undercutting the "regular" subsidized cost of the iPhone? Because otherwise, unless they're going to do something that really stands out, it seems like a case of "the only way to beat them is

Huge difference between the title of the article and the title of the post. I'd argue that inspiration comes from outside, and motivation comes from within. Inspirational events can motivate you, but only motivation is going to actually hel

I've never heard of Parse before, so thanks for the link because it looks like a dream come true for me.

I've been using the iOS 5 betas and I can tell you I use Reading List and Instapaper completely differently. Instapaper has always been long form reading, stored for later (and potentially offline). Reading List, I use to quickly transfer a

So much misinformation. Apple "rushed to patch the security opening" because IT'S A SECURITY FLAW that allows unrestricted code execution via a website. That's a pretty huge problem; shouldn't it be fixed right away? "After Allegra released

I don't disagree with you. Complain if you want. Sometimes it helps. But don't make the mistake of thinking you're entitled to anything.

And "freedom of speech" only applies to the government, and only governments in the US. Websites that delete your comments are not limiting your freedom of speech. </pet_peeve>

When you're building on someone else's platform, you're subject to their whims, whether you like it or not. Facebook can delete your app for no reason, so can Apple and Google and Microsoft. If you're building a Netflix or Twitter app and t

I don't see the compelling reason to start with Android in the free-app-as-front-end-to-web-service case. Is it because Android phones (briefly) outsold iPhones? Last I heard, iOS still has something like a 60% lead in install base, and the

"A better (more honest) reply would be "we don't think there's a problem, Apple is just luck and hype, the playbook is industry changing (Mike said that, didn't he?), this better not have come from inside or else"." If that's really what th

The only positive way to respond to a letter like that is to go out and do it. A press release reiterating the same old lines isn't going to solve anything; addressing concerns internally and releasing real products should be their response

"Ask Michael Arrington what Heather Harde has brought to TechCrunch, or Larry Page what Marissa Mayer means to Google. Ask Mark Zuckerberg what Sheryl Sandberg brings to Facebook." Maybe it's not that they're women. Maybe it's alliterative

You'd be surprised. I've worked with forensic law enforcement in the past, and they were equipped to clone drives quickly and easily. The idea is to create a clean image of the drive that they can use for evidence, and they don't boot the m

SQLite is indeed built into iOS and Mac OS X as well. Core Data's store uses SQLite as an option (XML and Binary are the others), and it is accessible via third party frameworks like FMDB.

It's called MacroSolve. Edit: Never mind, they're a completely different patent troll feeding on indie iOS developers. Shameful.
