Nowhere did I say it'd be limited to DRM, I said it would be limited to music purchased from the iTunes store. Even though today's iTunes music doesn't contain DRM it is still fingerprinted and Apple (and iTunes) know exactly whether a song

For all the talk about how Amazon/Google require people to upload their own libraries, there's absolutely no way that the music labels will allow Apple to skip this for anything other than iTunes (and probably only iTunes+) purchased music.

I'm not super impressed by Amazon's cloud drive so far, but I immediately signed up for the 50GB/$50 a year plan and am now using it at work. So far my experience is mixed, but I hope there will be enough early adopters to encourage them (a

Disappointing, I'd have expected him to check every 64 or 128 days.

Note: TetherMe (native tethering on jailbroken iPhones) sends all tethered data through the same APN as mobile data by default so users won't fall foul of the APN detection method mentioned here. Of course that wouldn't stop AT&T &

I find it hard to believe that 30% of potential mobile phone purchasers even know what Android is. I would love to know how they performed this survey.

I've heard this many times but have yet to see it. An H1-B holder is free to leave their employer at anytime and move company, providing that new company agree to file the change with USCIS. This can be done an unlimited number of times and

Not exactly. A company only has to advertise these jobs if they are determined to be "H1-B dependent" (> 15% of employees are on that visa), or they need labor certification for a different form of visa (H2-B, E3).

Rather than "you're never to old! follow your heart!" cheerleading, it would be a lot more useful to hear HOW the author deals with the the array of commitments the average 30-40 year old person has. Mortgage, day care, insurance, kid commi

Honestly, the best way to obtain your newly-discovered market worth is to leave and find another job. In almost every job your only chance of negotiating a competitive salary is before you start. Sure, you can talk to HR and your manager an

38 willing to pay customers isn't quite the same as 38 paying customers. Instead of spending a week getting ~$400 worth* of obligation-free commitments it would have been better putting the time towards a working prototype. Then find a smal

I don't know about Android, but Engadget could have answered the iPhone question in 10 seconds flat. Settings -> Location Services. No entry for Pandora, so unless it's hacking away through private APIs then it's not sending location in

There's nothing special about this. I've written numerous classes in C++/C# that return a single object to the creator but instantiate or swap between different impl classes based on usage patterns.

I wonder if they're doing anything clever to reduce storage size. For example - an MP3/AAC song purchased from the same service has a small unique header (e.g. where your iTunes account name is stored) and then identical music data. I imagi

The best thing Color could do would be to take a couple of percent from that $41mil and buy one of the really good Camera apps on iOS and Android. Color is a compelling idea, but any interest I have in playing with it as early adopter is co

Nobody is saying that that they're not related. They clearly are (although the presence of other UI libraries does not affect any comparison of that relationship at all. Your examples of delegates, responders, targets etc are concepts - and

That's a bit like saying "I bought a plane ticket, and if I want to cram multiple people, cargo, or whatever into the seat that's MY decision and the airline should not give a damn". There's no underlying issue. You accepted their offer of

Readability (and Sony's book reader app) were both rejected as new apps, not as updates. It sounds like nit-picking, but there is precedent for Apple allowing grace periods to existing apps with undesirable behavior while rejecting new ones

Because it's really not much of an advantage. Seriously. When it comes to a AAA game the big three sellers are Xbox, PS3, and PC, in roughly that order. Two of those use a D3D API that's very similar and PS3 uses something called GCM[1]. Al

Well no, you can't look at it that way. The fact that Chrome is no longer significantly better is hardly a reason to get excited about FF4 :)

unions are well known for scaring compilers away from many types of optimizations when encountered. For example, if you're writing a SIMD vector class then pretty much the worst thing you can do is put the SIMD data type in a union with a f
