The one and only time I did this was when I waited in line for the iPhone 3G three years ago. I had along with me one of my best friends, who I wouldn't even call anywhere close to being a technical person even though we both worked for a

Exactly, the airline probably sold that same seat to someone at the last minute for $500 already, knowing they can bump someone who paid $199 and showed up late to the gate, comp them $300 in vouchers, and break even on the whole deal.

I've had much better luck taking my computers to an indie Apple certified shop in town. I can drop the computer off with the friendly receptionist and go back to work, and their tech calls me back later to tell me what's wrong and get me t

I certainly wouldn't be surprised if that was the case that they're just going after high bandwidth users and not doing packet inspection (yet). I occasionally swap my iPhone 4 SIM to a Nexus One and use the built-in wifi tethering feature

I like the new one better; the 2D version makes it look less like a Simon game.

I seriously doubt many attendees would complain if Google decided to stream the presentations live. Having gone last year, I was disappointed that they scheduled some talks in rooms that were way too small and I got turned away at the doo

I think you've sold me. I can't wait to really sit down and dig into the demo tonight. I had way more than $90 worth of headaches on my last iOS project keeping UI assets straight. I had no automated workflow; it was "do this in Photoshop

I've never heard of Opacity before but this looks pretty awesome. Anyone else used it for iOS or Mac apps and can weigh in on how well it works?

Why then would he include that slide depicting the intersection of technology and liberal arts? He did the same thing last year at the original iPad launch, with same phrase (here's the top hit in google I could find for a picture of the

At least in that case they were a year apart from each other (iPhone 3G 2008, 3GS 2009, iPhone 4 2010) on the normal release cycle. I thought the furor over the 3GS was from people who bought the original 2007 iPhone at the non-subsidized p

My first iOS app (under my own name as opposed to a freelance job, of which I've done a couple) was approved a couple days into February, and I look to be on track to have made about $200 from it this month. I wrote it over a weekend when I

And out of all the apps I use there was only one that triggered the Rosetta prompt; an open-source disk usage utility called Disk Inventory X. For what it's worth, the website (www.derlien.com) for this project still calls the universal b

To someone who bought a 2010 MBA in October and doesn't get an OS that supports TRIM until this summer, what's going to be the impact on the useful life of the SSD?

Awesome, looking forward to trying again when there's a little more clarity in availability (or when I need a place on short notice, because it looks like that kind of situation is where Airbnb really hits it out of the park).

Glad to see a lot of people were able to book rooms there. I wasn't, but not for lack of trying. I wish they would offer hosts more flexible controls for showing availability (and make sure hosts use them) so that people don't try to book

My only gripe with U-Verse was that they have had a ridiculously long-standing problem with DNS (this was a problem when I had the service installed in 2008 and there's nearly a 2-year-old thread on DSLReports about it). Downloads were sup

I tried this a long time ago -- maybe 10-12 years back, not long after they first introduced the affiliate program -- and got a friendly but pointed letter from Amazon to knock it off. Have they changed the rules?

70% of something is better than 100% of nothing. 100% of nothing is preferable to 70% of "something", if it costs you 90% of "something" to deliver the service, and "something" is already the maximum price the market will bear (and Apple

You could argue that the level of service isn't commensurate with what you'd get on a Delta or AA so its not the same product The people who would argue this are probably the ones who also earned status on a legacy carrier before they sta

Best thing I've ever done. I work for a university and happen to live a few blocks away, so I will go to their library to work on my side projects. They close at 2AM and I've found a nice room there where undergrads don't seem to want to

Other than starting your own business so you don't have to worry about someone making biased hiring decisions, and staying on top of skills, how do you mitigate this? I actually like coding and making things, so I don't necessarily see the

Six months ago, I would have guessed a Google TV give-away, but this year's agenda is pretty light on Google TV. Actually, back in December they sent Google TV devices out to I/O 2010 attendees (or at least some; I received a Logitech Rev

The email they sent announcing the early giveaway suggested they wanted people to be able to get their feet wet with the SDK on a modern Android device and maybe show off your prototype apps with people over lunch or beers at the after hour
