I have a similar situation (linux server for work and Macs for everything else). I manage media through iTunes, stream through two AppleTVs, and use MacBooks, an iMac,and iPhones. Newer Apple products don't seem to have the longevity that o

I've had the same experience with a 1G iPad. Within the past few months or so, the browser started crashing frequently for no good reason, and the device has slowed down considerably. I am a soft-core iPad user and stick mainly to mobile we

It's LuaJIT (FFI). Legacy wrappers involve mostly C code and a lot of code managing metatables.

I was involved with the state government and scientific response to the GOM oil spill, and I can say it was disturbingly disappointing to see the degree of subjectivity and bias in all aspects of estimates. Every academic had a model, every

Good luck on your project research, then. I don't have any law book recommendations. I still contend you may be better off talking to a lawyer about what you need to know rather than reading law books during your research phase. They can cu

None. An entrepreneur should hire a lawyer for legal matters and focus on building a company.

It's not. Politics are different from private property, Google+ being the latter. Just because it's free to use doesn't mean you own the infrastructure and it doesn't mean you are the customer. It is their server and service, and its their

You're not crazy, just principled. Good rational explanation of your position, too.

Why does it make you sad for a business to react to market conditions and try to garner more customers as well as let existing customers know their stance? That is why they exist. I would be sad if they didn't take a stance and use it to su

I've been a very happy Namecheap customer for years, and I have steered everyone I know looking for a registrar to them. I moved from EasyDNS and never regretted it. Now, I'm glad to see they are politically enlightened.

What did we, our children, and so on get for that investment? And what were the opportunity costs of the money, time, and resources?

I'm not sure if a lack of fruits and veggies leads to cancer. It leads to malnutrition. But, fruits and veggies have many benefits to prevent cancer: fiber helps your poo move through your bowels better; antioxidents fight free radicals; vi

I'm sure I'm wrong (and will be summarily slapped down), but I can't help but think that it is more than just possible that Apple would expose small/indie developers like this just to cull the number of apps in their store.

Man, I'm glad HN doesn't have this problem. It seems the candle and mirror images should be reversed in the context of this article (the flame being the illusion). Yes, I understand the "smoke and mirror" reference.

Using the logic of this company, why stop there? Why not go after users of the apps that use in-app purchases?

You don't understand espionage. You don't incentivize a country to not spy; you make it hard as hell for them to steal your secrets. And, who cares about incentivizing China? We should continue to find ways to make it harder for China to ri

My point is that "quirks" like these are in the eye (or fingertips) of the beholder. Surely, someone using a system for years will find a new system awkward to use. To play devil's advocate, I would choose a platform 3x the cost because (a)
