If there is a lot of work to do, then that's a good thing - it offers a place where RIM's engineers can provide value to the android platform that you can't get anywhere else. It might take time, but considering that BB10 isn't arriving any

One of the big things that Apple got amazingly right was the App Store install process. From a Linux perspective it's mostly an evolution, but for the mainstream customer that has had to deal with Windows installers it's unreal how easy it

No SD card slot? Urgh. 8/16GB is not a lot of room, especially for a tablet that is not going to be online all the time.

I don't know, this one isn't that great and I prefer the music app after using this one casually this afternoon on the way home. The download model doesn't seem as neat as the itunes separation. I keep current on my podcasts on my desktop,

Export laws seem like security theater - it doesn't actually help, and only catches honest people. If you're from a country that is embargoed, and you need computing power for some nefarious reason, I'm certain you'll find a way. Going to

If you grab the source video yourself you can demux the audio using ffmpeg (I've done this for some live performances that I wanted to listen to offline).

I think the larger issue is that any iPads purchased in the future may not be compatible with this software.

Are you really implying that Apple's end-to-end ownership of their product has little to do with their success?

It would be nice if I could get Google Reader to do this. Push everything as a single update, once a day. That way I could get my RSS fix and have zero temptations of looking at it. Then again, I could just have more self control. But ev

Speaking of Cutler, if you haven't read it, I highly recommend the book "Show Stopper!", which describes the early days of Windows NT. http://www.amazon.com/Show-Stopper-Breakneck-Generation-Micr...

Now that would be magical - visit a website and start making comments, after a period of time it'd create an account for you with no input at all. Now, visit it from a different browser or computer and make another comment - it would log yo

Me too. I'd be really interested to hear their story. Has anyone been involved with fixing a system that would have been provably broken by stuff like this (and other things like Y2K)? Bonus points if you were working on critical public i

It sounds like there's room for someone with appstore submission experience to offer a service with a faster turnaround and official submission guarantees (i.e., we'll review your app in a day, give you feedback, and if we say it's good and

My daughter is 3 and she enjoys the coloring apps on my iPhone. We have a few that I downloaded for free, one was on sale, one has IAP and one is ad-supported. The ad-supported one shows ads in a separate "pick your color" UI and I'm happy

Happy Birthday! Thanks for writing :) I have to say, A Woman's Story[1] is a favorite of mine. It's incredible to hear about a woman overcoming such odds in an industry that still, 60 years later, has a gender gap. To discover that it's a

That question sort of bothered me - I have no idea how big a tree is, and even if I saw one, I have no reference for how many feet it is without doing some fairly exhaustive mathematics (and at the scale of "largest redwood", I'd likely be

It'd be interesting to read about how Glazunov & Pinkie Pie figured all this out. What did they try that worked, what didn't work, how long did they spend on this, what tools did they use?

FB seems like the lowest-bar when it comes to usability. Most people have a facebook account, and are familiar with the "app needs your permissions" flow. I'm not familiar with how you write a web-app to use FB authentication - how much do

How far down the rabbit hole would you have to go before you find a connection from a .gov machine? Or do nation-state malware programmers maintain a strict no-contact policy to keep the government's hands clean? I suppose we'll never know

On that topic, does anyone know how these things work? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Magic-Gel-Reusable-Hand-Warmer/dp/B0... I've seen them in person and they're remarkable if you've never encountered them before.

Like others have stated, you should assume your password hash was leaked anyway. Change it first, then put in the old password into this tool for curiosity's sake.

My autogenerated password was in the list, and not cracked. I've changed it anyway on linkedin.

If people are finding their unique password's hashes in the database, that's pretty damning evidence that a security breach has occurred.
