   This is daringfireball? Well, you could buy Apple stock, iPads, iPods, MacBooks, movies and songs on iTunes, AppleCare packages, Mac Pros, iMacs, Mac accessories, and iOS apps. Nothing else is worth buying. Oh, oops. Read the 'article'. My

   The juvenile prisons are even worse. Act up in school, smoke pot - wait, we need to straighten you out! How about instead of going to school and living at home, you go to a privately run prison where several guards sexually assault you ever

   They have a strategic location, how's that? Great to keep an eye on China and Russia. Well, I know we already have S. Korea in our pocket, but why not go for the whole peninsula? (just a line of reasoning, not my endorsement or something)

   It lists it based on an automatic scan of which APIs the software uses. However, it can't tell if there's dead code and the package doesn't actually use a certain permission, or if there's an additional permission process within the app,

   I'm so surprised! I always considered Facebook really honest, upright and trustworthy - a reflection of their founder.

   Well, it made me want to go look up biketek on Google, so I could find some information about who they are and what they do.

   I'm specifically saying middle ground between Apple and Google's styles, though. Traditional software publishing is obsolete and we don't really need to worry about how that worked. As for thinking about puppies, my point is that the 'human

   There has to be some middle ground between Apple's style and Google's style. Apple overdoes their control a bit, and Google doesn't exercise enough control. You shouldn't have to make an anonymous reviewer think about puppies to get your ap

    Right, in addition to privacy/security concerns for anything you access through the phone, having an always on, always connected, powerful handheld computer being part of a botnet would be pretty bad. The malware Google removed a few weeks

    I've installed a lot of apps, and Android is a great platofrm for that. I just wish it was more 'go wild, install anything you want, it's actually reviewed!' like the iPhone... the problem is Google's lack of administration for the Market.

    I'm not talking about open source or beta programs. What is VUPEN getting out of giving the fruits of their research to Google for free? They would receive neither more affordable software nor earlier access. The 100% unhackable browser and

    I install pretty much nothing on my Android phone any longer. I wouldn't trust some binaries from a random site on the internet offering software, why trust the Android Market? On a desktop OS, would you browse through awesomefreesoftware.

    That's certainly my concern. I have somewhere approximating zero faith that they will continue the Linux client, considering Skype themselves have essentially abandoned it, and the prospects for the other two I use, Android and Mac, seem ra

    Apple describes how the Right Way here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1528 but I'm sure I've never seen Directory Utility before. However, in the Edit menu they reference, it said 'Disable Root User', not Enable, so it's been activated som

    Sure, I remember that too. I guess MS did seemed to headed in a stellar direction circa 1996 or 97. To me, they lost their shine as the internet picked up steam... I'd say 92-96 was the end of the golden age of the desktop computer as envi

    Compete.com shows troughs, peaks and valleys for sites I've worked for, and the timing appears to have no relation whatsoever to real events and our own data. What it is good for is comparing similar sites.
