The OSM images that tcard used are from openstreetmap.org, not from the iPhoto app. My understanding is that Apple used the data from OSM to produce their own tiles, which, I believe, look much better than this.

What I don't get is what this means: "Previously, you’d have to queue up each one individually. Now, you can send up to 30 photos at a time in full quality, again over 3G or WiFi." What is "previously" and what does "at once" mean? The band

I was at a conference last year where the SVP of Network Services for NYSE/Euronext (Andrew Bach) was talking about their growing data and bandwidth needs, and they are pushing the envelope. They need something very reliable obviously, bu

One option that was left out is to wait for it to drop and buy it then. You can use a service to try to catch it when it drops but you then enter into a bidding match, or you can just wait for it to be completely released. Obviously more ri

It isn't completely a cost center as they do make money from developer subscriptions. More than the developer subscriptions, they make money by having an attractive platform by making sure developers are happy to develop for their platfor

There is also a Growl clone. Surprised this took so long. Then again, I personally don't like Growl, so I hope nothing depends on it being turned on. It seems that Apple adopted a similar model as Notifications Center on iOS in that you c

Actually it's worse than that. You're not happy with the fact that the Search input is too close to the "Sign in" text. But the "Sign in" page asks you to type your name and then be offered the "sign in with…" option you used when joining.

The sharing "widgets" like this one fall under the category "do people really use those?" for me. I don't think I care to see the number of tweets, likes of an article I'm already about to read. Most likely if I opened the page, it's that I

At first, it will run by itself. Then something will break and nobody will bring it back up. So for months, it will just show an Apache error page. You'll see people complaining about it on Twitter. (maybe you'll even hear Timothy Sykes bit

I personally wouldn't have known "Move along" was a Star Wars reference, though I knew about the 404. For the still confused, here is the quote: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076759/quotes?qt=qt0440731 and here is the clip: http://www.you

To be fair, shouldn't the first scenario be offering $70k as well? Otherwise it's biased towards the premise that you should say a number second. In that case, let's say you want $125k, and the company offers $70k before you say how much yo

I know what you're saying, but sales guys benefits from the perception that they're solely responsible for the close of a sale. That's their job after all. So the $5M in sales? It wouldn't have happened without them! (that's the perception)

I understand that and that's kind of my point. As an engineer, you can definitely talk about what you've done to convince the other party that you're capable , but it's (IMO) more difficult to tie it to a specific increase in the offer whe

One thing I often find in salary negotiation advice are lines that go like this "At my last company, I increased sales by 3% by $YADDA_YADDA". The thing is that I can't really think of nice metrics like this, and am surprised that a lot of

I generally don't use it too much myself because I agree it tends to add a bit of confusion. A tiny bit but still. I think that in that particular case the fact the array[m] is used in the next line makes things not as obvious as they could

I understand that, but the thing is that you don't know in advance when you'll go from your living-room to an office, so what do you do when you hire your first employee? You know she'll be in the first stripe, but since you don't know how

I know it's a back-of-the-envelop affair, but one thing I'm a bit unclear is that hiring is not done in batch in January. So, how do you separate your stripes? In his example, employee #4 gets 250 shares, while employee #5 gets 50. But in r

My first thought when reading the title was similar: "well, what about pushing it just because it's the right thing to do?" (admittedly, the definition of "right" won't be universal…). But you have to remember that it's easier to use econom

Thanks for sharing. On the web version it feels that the highlighted hotels are too few now. For example, over all of Paris, it shows only 10 highlighted hotels, with a bunch of gray dots all around. It gives me the feeling that there isn't

As for not going with a straight chronological list, I think that really the idea behind Timeline is to take all the information that was put in Facebook and present it in something that is more akin to digital scrapbooking. They want you t

On the second point, besides the fact that successful artists get a decent share of revenues or not, I just think that it's irrelevant to the question of pirating a piece of work. If an artist is getting screwed by a label/studio is a probl

Can you actually make that work for a collaborative app? User A uploads file_a.txt and you want to encrypt it. What key do you use for that? It can't be attached to User A (e.g. their password or password hash) only otherwise User B won't b

Regarding my original comment, while I don't think this desk is of good quality, I was trying to comment more on the mindset we have around this.
