Name calling aside, all journalists depend on their subject for news and all subjects have a interest in being reported in a positive light. Of course there are degrees to which that relationship is a two-way relationship. A war correspon

Gruber, of course, has some interesting comments in that area: >From an official PR perspective, Apple, famously, says nothing regarding what it will or will not be announcing before a major keynote. But they do, somehow, seem to occasi

I'm confused by your reasons. With scroll for more, you would know if there is more- the end is the end, just like with pagination. And it's no worse than pagination in the "you don't know how much more" department, either. The paginat

Exactly, I used to interleave...but the times are a changin and there's not much we can do about it. Twitter, FB, blogs are not going to change (nor should they). OP is about 16 years too late to this argument.

I think it's worth mentioning that in this case, the restrictions weren't arbitrary. There was insight in the two rules- designed perhaps to stay true to Makers (the "best bourbon") and still create something truly innovate and distinct. A

You apparently don't use Netflix, MLB, NPR, YouTube, etc, etc. :) I find myself looking for the speaker and volume switches a lot.

There are many reasons why a person might have a C average besides "they hate school". Just as there are reasons why someone might score less than an ACT 36 / SAT 1600 besides they are not a brilliant thinker.

The hide is useful, but the unnatural part is the "everyone you ever met listening". The great thing about Facebook when I started was it was like blogs or photo sharing, except that everyone was a trusted, real-life friend. Facebook was

Yeah, you have to make a leap that's not explained in the puzzle. An intermediate machine or some other method has to be used to keep the secret a secret, yet the answer can be "public".

If I have a secret number, I can calculate the square and find the middle 100 digits. If you have the 100 middle digits, it will not be easy for you to find the secret number.

And comments Rose made defending the design after the fact are going to try and spin a positive light. That's not "misinterpreting the results". Internal discussions may have been very different.

Making the same point a different way- A lot of sites don't really have a compelling reason to login, except that you're forced to login before you can comment. With reddit, I want to login- to see more than the default frontpage, to see r

Oh my! Hacker News is littered with dead, exposed bodies! I never knew what any of the setting were. Well, what do you know. Those are documented in the FAQ. You'd think that the explanations would be near where you use them!

Netflix's app is the opposite of how Gruber describes a great app: "...it should seem, when you’re using it, that the entire device was meant for it. E.g., a good chess game for the iPhone should make the iPhone itself feel like a chess pla

If Google's problem has been pushed from "people can be bad and game our system" to "people can be bad and break the law" then I'd say they don't have to chase the problem much further than that. Also, you don't think ISPs can be subpoenaed

I think of it as: Newtonian physics makes down to a certain scale where it is no longer accurate. Quantum makes sense down to a Planck length where beyond that, we may need different theories.

More like, they already laser etch the back of the iPod. Why, not take a small step further to differentiate your product and make customers feel even more attached to their purchase? And the reason they charged for it before was not to

I don't see where an Apple vs the world argument is made. More like Apple did it's own thing before and no one else cared. Now they are influencing other companies more than before. Along with WebKit, I'd say that app stores and touch UI

Allenbrunson's point is that WebKit is an example of Apple's influence beyond Apple. You could argue that the choice of WebKit wasn't important to Chrome- that they would have been just as successful had they chose another rendering engine

Salary is only half of your compensation- the other half is benefits. Employers don't often do half weeks for salaried employees with benefits because you are getting 50% of the work for 75% of the cost.

You don't need to use the email upload once either. That's the point. Google's making it clear that you getting something from them "for free" and you won't be able to go back in the future.

The article took a 2nd reading to grok, but the experiment shows that N170 recognizes the same face, but only if that face is the same ethnicity. Meaning it is very specific. Presumably, if it can't recognize the same face of another ethn
