An app is allowed to "browse" to NSFW material, but cannot explicitly link (or come pre-loaded with favorites or bookmarks) to said material. We sell a Reddit image-browsing client on the iOS App Store ( http://steamclocksw.com/prism/ ) a

There are many Pictionary-style apps on the store. So many that most would bet against Draw Something (I would have). Try this instead: 1. Execution. 2. Execution. 3. Profit.

In my experience, the respectful way to do this is to draft a public tweet that makes sense out of context and (cc @whoever) at the end.

The concern isn't simply that there will be Rails programmers in K-12 that don't know how to override an HTTP method. The concern is that when K-12 users are using Rails 4 apps (that may or may not be K-12 specific) they may fail in bizarre

At the very least Apple Legal is not comfortable shipping GPLv3 packages in OS X, even as binaries. This might be stupid - IANAL. The GPL isn't the only other reason they might move more command-line functionality into a separate download -

Don't be surprised if they start moving GPLed packages like bash, ruby, and emacs into this free CLI tools download, making OS X "GPL clean".

Besides being entertaining, some of these tactics could also be ethically and practically useful. How many times have you been made to feel uncomfortable being somewhere you had a right to be? Maybe you really are meeting friends at an exc

It turns out that Zynga only accounts for 12% of their revenue. "In 2011, Zynga accounted for approximately 12% of our revenue, which amount was comprised of revenue derived from payments processing fees related to Zynga’s sales of virtual

Apple is the largest buyer of SSDs in the world, but their largest supplier has been Samsung, a company they've been increasingly at odds with in the phone business. In one day, it is announced that Samsung has sold this business, and that

Congratulations to Allan for overcoming coder's block and burnout and putting something in people's hands. I've complained about the wait as much as anybody else, but if I'm still using Textmate 1 after 6 years of waiting, that's something

App Store spam should be like web spam - if the search and browse tools are good, it should fade into the background. Instead, actually choosing a good app in one of these categories is intensely frustrating. Blocking noise like this at app

I think the legal issues are underestimated here. Who is liable if your driverless Civic drives you into a tree? What if it runs over a pedestrian? Honda? Google? You? Driverless cars could dramatically reduce the dangers of driving, but it

Small but sustainable startups are not on the media's radar. Simply put, we're boring.

Very cool. It seems like they are the type of organization Mikeal is encouraging ASF to become: legal and administrative support for open source projects, and other services if the project's leaders wish. Quite hands-off. Comparing the list

The ASF is the first home that comes to mind when an successful open-source project needs independent stewardship. Often when a company wants to "spin off" an open source project, they turn to Apache. What alternative organizations fill thi

the twitter website is as fast as ever Actually, last year Twitter launched a JavaScript-heavy rewrite that was much slower to load and interact with than it was previously. It seems to have improved since then, but at the time it was fai

Even better is setting your editor to run JSHint when you save a .js file, and let you know if there are problems. Not only does it avoid stupid bugs, it saves time round-tripping to the browser for trivial issues like syntax errors.

Making threads collapsible via JS would be good, but better might be to collapse third-level and lower comments by default. Reading more than a couple levels deep on a highly-discussed submission is no longer reasonable, since you can't tel

There are two rules we're using at Steam Clock that are keeping this problem at bay as we bootstrap with consulting: (1) 50% of our time should be spent on our own products (2) If we're spending more than 50% on average on client work, we e

This is almost certain. Even more certain is that they will fight it as long and hard as they can, even if it kills them. The reason we want this to happen is the same reason the carriers don't want it to happen: it's a lot harder to make m

$7900 for 10 full days of hosted training for an entire team seems somewhat cheap. Be conservative and say that each day they had two designers helping them out at a cost of $50/hr for 6 hours ($6000) and then add whatever costs and overhea

This doesn't surprise me at all. My wife and I will often disagree whether a celebrity is hot because I'm commenting on her face and she's commenting on her legs.
