They're not doing this as a favor. If they intended to do it they would have done it pre-launch. They've had a huge amount of bad press over this, and did this as a response to it. They clearly realize that not doing so puts their

It's not often that Apple admits defeat like this. It's a good move, IMO. And an easy business decision. Cut the very high profit margins on all these dongles, and remain relevant.

It's useful to me, to let me know if it's a cold boot or resuming from hibernation. Kinda mentally prepares me so I'm ready to launch some terminals and tmux sessions, connect to VPN, etc.

Looking forward to seeing if a web standard comes of this. Would love to be able to make use of this additional UI in my web apps.

It'll be interesting to see if Apple releases a new external USB-C keyboard with touch bar. I'd expect it to be priced around $150.

Since all Wii U games are available as digital downloads, I'd expect that's the only compatibility you're going to get. They might have some kind of trade-in-your-disc-for-a-digital-download offering, but I seriously doubt

Not sure if you noticed in the Switch launch video, but that's Skyrim they're playing. It looks like Nintendo is putting some effort into third party this time, and they'll be the only "console" which allows you to

There is a lot of speculation in the community that when docked, additional video processing will be available in the hardware within the dock. When undocked, they can scale down resolution and frame rate for the smaller screen.

I think it would be unlikely that the user would step away from his machine before unplugging the device. If it was discovered on the ground, I would think the likely sequence of events is: 1.) plug in, 2.) open finder, notice nothing of in

Note that's $0.0025 per unit, not 25 cents per unit. Your post is correct, but, ya know, Verizon math is a real thing.

So if I want to remove a competing app from the app store, all I have to do is buy them a bunch of fake reviews and Apple will ban them?

I think that's the joke.

Why stash? Why not just branch then commit?

It's for exactly this reason that I'm creating a terminal-based calorie tracker. Working on finishing up the curses-like client so i can quickly type bogg 120 # consumed 120 calories bogg -120 biking # exercised 120 calo

On the football game analogy: yes, there are two teams. One of these teams will win. Both teams suck but at the end of the day, most people will want to vote for the person who made the most points. It's actually exactly what it is.

This is just a platformer made in Java, that happens to have a few characters with the same name as Super Mario Bros. Nothing about the original NES game has been implemented here.

They are rightfully advertising it as '5 hours for each ear'. Which, in my case, is actually 10 hours. I only listen to podcasts - and listen to them in one ear. So when one dies, I'll switch to the other while charging the f

It depends on your definition of "power users", I suppose. But they certainly don't want to shrink their network. The moment I meet a fellow like-minded geek and "add me on Facebook" isn't the default way to st

If Facebook wants a truly global network, then they best not alienate or piss off those that are technically inclined. If they take control away from their power users, they'll lose them.

create-react-app finally got me beyond that roadblock and I'm deep into creating my first production React UI. Obviously this doesn't solve the problem for React Native, but it's worth mentioning, since it's an official

Not sure this is "hidden". Anyone who has spent ten minutes poking around chrome dev tools is likely to have discovered this.

Yea, but if you record the whole spectrum then you can tune frequencies on the recording. It's a bit like a color photo vs black and white. I don't know if that's a great analogy though.

Sirius did a huge audio production called "The History of Howard Stern" which they'd play when Howard went on vacation or filming America's Got Talent. It's absolutely massive. Must be 60+ hours. It goes into incred

Surely with Apple's new file system, the need for these files will go away, right? I'm sure they can bake whatever metadata these directories need right into the fs.
