It would be nice if they linked to this on the standard interface page, where they mention Aristo.

You should learn more about the distinction between the GPL and the LGPL. Whether you make a library that is GPL and include it in a non GPL program, or you have a GPL program and want to include a non GPL library, both cases require all co

Sure, but who cares? There are a billion websites which use hover events, and the hover just doesn't do anything on the iPhone. The author acts like this is some kind of NP complete problem or something. It's at most minor revisions.

MobileSafari provides the entire touch sequence to javascript, which means that same sequence can easily be passed to flash. It isn't that difficult to do a reasonable mapping from touch sequences to mouse sequences.

any element can prevent the default action at any time. flash, or not flash, it's like two lines of javascript.

If your app just randomly stops working, and enough people tell Apple about it, they'll pull the app. It's a violation of the app store terms.

The most reasonable thing I've read so far about the absurdity of both the process and the recent claims from Hixie.

Well, if you read what the gentlemen from Adobe has said since, his objection on the private list was about how the chairs of whatever committee he raised his objections to basically made a unilateral decision without discussing the objecti

Getting a signed piece of paper is probably the best thing you can do, and it's probably possible depending on the company you work for. But you probably need to be careful about the way you approach doing so.

Perhaps because, on average, people are dead before they turn 88? Or, because people retire at 65 (or 55 in Canada?)? Or, because she's been mayor for over 30 years, which isn't exactly something you can accomplish at a young age? Or becaus

Giving in to coercion is hardly call for punishment. If I were Techcrunch, I'd reimburse the cost of whatever they paid.

Because when any YC startup (or anyone who has an audience with pg) asks him about AcmeVC, he'll tell them to stay away. Paul is pretty connected, and the community isn't that big.

Why shouldn't ads be relevant? Turns out it's how the majority of the web is making money.

CoffeeScript is a language. It doesn't run natively on node.js, so I don't really see the relationship here.

Probably none. Multi-task, if it comes, will come on the iPhone and iPad at the same time. They either aren't ready to figure out how it fits into the OS model, or they've decided it shouldn't for now.

I have no idea how John Gruber could possibly think he has a remotely informed opinion on what constitutes the "best mobile CPU in the world".

It could have an ARM emulator, but I doubt that's the case.

I also do this. But, theoretically, it's not entirely legal. In other words, if you have a piece of content which has not been changed, but for which you've "automatically" updated the copyright date, you are basically lying about when the

Not entirely a fair comparison. It's comparing shareware apps to the entire iPhone market. I'd venture to guess that nobody would call anything put out by Microsoft, Adobe, EA, or hundreds of other companies shareware, but those same compan

The simplicity of the Objective-C runtime is one of it's most impressive features. There are very few rules to the object system, and meta classes are an example of how flexible that is. Combine that with the fact that the language is entir

Actually, the best strategy on Oink was to troll the latest uploads, download them, and then make sure to seed for a week or two. The trick was guessing which ones were likely to be popular, but there were some obvious freebies and as long

Ultimately, isn't what matters that the most aid possible gets to where it's needed? I don't understand the criticism of organizations that spend money on "overhead." I think Dan Pollatta's book, Uncharitable, is pretty interesting. In your

Not sure how you reach the less secure than C conclusion, unless your claim is that the Cocoa frameworks specifically have a lot of security holes.

Probably true. There's one or two other tiny embedded Objective-C web server designed for that purpose out there. We've got just such an app, but we're running our backend process in JavaScript.
