Here are some things that can lead to a sub-optimal user experience: 1) User forgets or does not know the administrator password to install into /Applications 2) Loses license key to activate paid application 3) Installs application into ~/

Let's face it, the current way of installing applications in OS X is extremely confusing for newcomers to the platform. Apple should be lauded for trying something that is proven on iOS devices and getting it to work on OS X. Additionally,

The timing of this release couldn't have been any worse; Apple reports yet another record-breaking quarter on the exact same day this gets airtime. Ballmer must be trying really hard to destroy MSFT shareholder value.

Steve Jobs certainly understood the importance of ship dates, so he wasn't exactly going to fall into the Duke Nukem / Grand Turismo 5 tar pit. "Real artists ship" http://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?story=Real_Artists_Ship...

Yes, and the "not that hard" remark was in reference to their deep experience moving from 68K to PPC to x86. So, having fat binaries is not a foreign concept to them at all. Apple has filed a patent on OS-level advertising. http://ipwatchd

My wild-ass guess is that Apple is going to let the apps from iOS run in a sandbox environment on OS X 10.7, which really shouldn't be that hard to do since development code runs on emulated iOS devices. This would broaden the reach of the

And that's why high-frequency trading should be deemed illegal because it is technically insider-trading; the intermediary makes a commission and masks the true positions of buyers and sellers, profiting at the expense of both.

Based on specs alone and QNX's track record, this seems to be a credible competitor to the iPad. At least much better than the HP slate running on Windows 7. Going through the Blackberry site, it isn't clear how apps are developed for the P

Someone please explain the finer nuances of the law; I can't see how this is different from professional athletes forming their own association/union and stipulating a "minimum fee" e.g. NBA.

What does this have to do with Apple and the App Store? re: "having a hard time believing"... read the complaint. Apparently Skyhook has a source from "Company X" (educated guesses on that time period place it as Samsung) that complained th

It's OK to iterate fast if there are few/no dependencies on the platform and the cost of upgrading is low. e.g. the high-end 3D gaming market is essentially dead as a business because consumers eventually got wiser about today's top-of-the-

I know this is the internet and all, but it would be prudent not to cast aspersions about executives having an "affair" when the fact was that Hurd left for other reasons.

It depends a lot on the experience/background of the person, as well as the problem at hand. Most programming "problems", like any other engineering field, have already been solved, so there's no shame in turning to a search engine or even
