June 7th, as clearly stated in the initial press release. Also just so happens to be the first day of WWDC.

It's The Planet. I have two servers there and both are up, but TP actually has 6 different datacenter networks in Dallas (last I checked, anyway), so that doesn't necessarily mean anything. But searching Twitter for @theplanet during a Pl

I can think of absolutely zero reasons, technical or otherwise, that Apple would want Skype to charge for only its iPhone software, much less a reason strong enough to "badger" them into charging. Isn't it far more likely that Skype's ne

My guess is that it's being slowly rolled out to some of Google's front-end servers. I'll get the SSL homepage one load, then a few minutes later when I'm round-robinned to a different server, I get redirected to http:// .

Spending over a billion dollars on a brand new datacenter says to me that they're interested in changing that record.

I think the willingness of a famously reclusive CEO to engage in a debate at 1 AM on a Friday night with a random, verbally aggressive blogger with whom he has no familiarity is not indicative of an executive who shies away from internal de

"Off the record" is meant strictly in a journalistic sense there (ignoring questions of whether Gizmodo constitutes journalism). He's saying that any response Jobs gives cannot be quoted or referenced by Gizmodo in an article. He doesn't

Also: because they're lying — they don't publish the full Flash spec. Any alternate Flash implementation simply doesn't work on video sites with encrypted streams, which means it will never gain traction.

He's got the founder flag and access to the database, so he can easily just flip the bits back whenever he wants to. However, I've witnessed a number of debates over Jimbo's (ab)use of his privileges and he's never done this in response, so

Ah. First of all, those proofing times are not nearly long enough for the effect I was referring to to come into play. Secondly, each Bread sample is not at all controlled for its proof time, they are explicitly varying the volume of each

Could you rustle up a link? That makes little to no sense to me.

That's because the longer a dough is proofed, the less white flour remains in its refined state — the yeast has had its way with as many sugar molecules as it could belch. The flour is still the GI determinant, it's just not refined white

Photos were introduced in 2005. I was on Facebook in Sept. '04, and there were absolutely privacy controls at that point. You could find people in your network through search, but you couldn't see anything other than their name and class

I use the time-based filtering all the time now. I didn't really expect to when I first started in the beta. It's incredibly helpful when searching on topics that undergo wholesale changes often (e.g. the vast majority of technology). Wi

Thanks, I didn't know about that work-around. Indeed, there was no reply link on that comment; I assumed, like every other comment system, there was a limit to nested levels.

From what we know of Jobs's personality, I sincerely doubt he'd allow anyone to write in his name. E-mails coming from Executive Relations would almost certainly be marked as coming from Executive Relations. He responds to very few e-mails

@Cory Matthews: Compared to IE? Yes. Compared to Firefox? Depends on the release schedule of both. Compared to Chrome or Safari? It lags significantly behind.

Objective-C, when compiled down (with the Apple toolchain, at least), remains a very expressive language. It won't be all that difficult to programmatically detect signs of an Adobe library in the binary. It's how Apple presently checks f

How would Apple be shafted in this scenario? Sure, there are no On2 hardware decoding chips in the iPhone, so battery life would suffer a bit, but... is there anything more than that?

I'm not entirely sure I agree with the premise, but I'd also love to read a post exploring it.
