"There are certainly valid business reasons for Apple to offer the service for free" Then it's a shame the article can't come up with any. The ones listed are either guesses ("might sell more devices") or counter to Apple's established, and

The company is lucky they aren't located in California. Here, even if you are identified as an employee, you may retain ownership over works you have created unless you have signed a "work for hire" agreement or something similar.

Lately Facebook seem all to happy to trade the goodwill and trust of their users for control and monetization over their data. It's getting a little creepy.

As of the time of writing, Apple aren't suing anyone. The only current legal activity is that of a criminal investigation into the circumstances that led to the iPhone being in Gizmodo's position. Like Gruber and the above poster, I just do

It's worth noting that those are books DOWNLOADED, not sold. In addition to all the freely available titles in the Book store, everyone who downloads iBooks is also prompted to download a free Winnie the Pooh title. I expect virtually nobod

A strong +1 for Notifier & little +1's for MyWi, 3G Unrestrictor and Backgrounder. It's amazing to me that Apple hasn't done anything to sort out the issue of notifications on the iPhone since day one. What's that? Your genre defining d

I'm curious as to whether you considered if this would have any effect on PageRank for content you host? This type of behavior - using javascript to present the user with links different than the googlebot found - seems like the type of thi

Having themes and a customizable header image doesn't make it a "full website creator". Posterous has some nice features but its place in the market seems a little undefined. It's more than Tumblr and less than Wordpress.com, which with the

You may want to read up on U.S. v Boucher, 2009. Unless you're hiding evidence of something particularly heinous, refusing to provide a means of decryption may land you in more trouble than the crime of which you're suspected.

Given that it was a fairly safe bet the new phone would have a higher-res, 960x640 was a fairly obvious candidate for the resolution. Anything else would have made resulted in a noticeable drop in quality when running existing apps. Because

Also worth pointing out: a) Facebook only recently became cash flow positive after years of burning cash like it was the end of days. b) Their revenue per user is miserably low c) If the advertising market ever tanks, they're screwed. Holdi

What a load of tosh. XCode is an IDE, not some magical tool that spits out some iPhone/iPad compatible file. Aside from that, if Apple planned to change architecture then having apps running on a translation layer (Flash etc) would actually

Good points - except that under iPhone OS 4.0 the OS and apps already have to handle these situations. Apps compiled for 4.0 are "frozen" when backgrounded. When they are brought to the front, either from the new task pane or their icon, th
