But yeah, it still is just not going to be as good of tactile feedback as an actual keyboard This was one of the most common complaints about the iPhone when it first came out. Now? Its not complained about nearly as often. I think its sa

Theres also this quote that he tweeted earlier today, that I'm becoming partial to: If Delicious Library were just a pretty set of shelves, I’d be really pissed. But it’s a lot more, and very different from iBooks. - http://twitter.com/w

This is their hail-Mary pass, if the subscription model does not work what are they supposed to do next? Put someone competent in charge of the paper and removing quality articles and placing ads in the paper instead. Also, go back to a f

Did you read the article? It seems to address this point at the end: This isn’t to say that Kindle will beat Apple in any quantifiable way (number of apps, number of downloads, number of customers, etc), but I think that the kinds of stori

I try and read the newspaper daily. Usually a local paper (If you're from NYC area: I read the NY Daily News, although I used to read Newsday before the format change), during lunch/dinner. The newspaper is something (usually) with lots of

Have you (or the OP) tried Safari's (or better yet, a WebKit nightlies) Web Inspector? Its more powerful than the one in Chrome.

I don't know much (or anything, really, besides basic some basic concepts to avoid writing vulnerable code in my languages of choice) about vulns (0day or otherwise), however, this doesn't sound like a particularly exciting exploit. Its jus

Running on Mac OS X with the newer, shinier ObjC 2.0 runtime is greatly preferred to running on GNUstep. Not to mention GCD or Core Data (GNUstep Core Data is primitive in comparison. Not to mention, you know, basically a dead project). Of

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make anymore; I don't believe I've ever (let alone in this thread) said anything that goes against: Ultimately every rewrite, new feature addition, feature change, etc. has the consequence of pushin

For all we know, Core Text-backed CJK text rendering works fine in TM2 and the wait is for Allan to finish working on other parts of the editor instead. And FWIW, my comment about deprecated methods was made with new code for TM2 in mind, n

API's don't disappear overnight once they've become deprecated. There are API's that have been deprecated since 10.2 or 10.3 but still work on 10.6, for example.

This article seems like a mishmash of a dozen different points in an attempt to get hits. However one line that stood out to me is: The iPhone, however, is a relative wasteland for open source. Hardly true. The best bits of open source pr

Prolog? http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1023192 was recently posted. You create relations between terms with clauses and query them to create programs in Prolog. Though, I'd be (happily) surprised if Alain Colmerauer read HN.

There doesn't seem to be a Mac or Linux port for PNGOut; the link redirects to a forum about GTA. And isn't PunyPNG a web front-end for OptiPNG? That would explain the lack of any real differences between the two. Also, would be good to kno

Maybe the layout of the real one has some symbolism thats specific to Herefordshire that we don't know about. Hard to say one is better without knowing the history behind the real one.

You misunderstood my second point a bit: By "an umbrella corporation", I don't just mean that Al Qaeda is made up of different cells. I mean that each of the cells is united by a group of people higher up. In this case, it primarily means B
