This must be publisher specific. I purchased a book on my first iPad and when I bought a second (with 3g), I re-downloaded it without having to pay for it.

New Hope, PA http://myyearbook.com One of the top 25 most trafficked sites in the US according to Comscore and still very start-up minded with how we do things. We're about 45 minutes north of Philadelphia and 1.5 hours south of New York,

As a target of SCO's extortion efforts in 1994, I am happy that this is finally over.

The reason why I did this was because Apple is touting Safari 5 as being "The Worlds Fastest Browser" and specifically said "Powered by the Nitro JavaScript engine, Safari 5 on the Mac runs JavaScript up to 30 percent faster than Safari 4,

Edit: Do you think it would skew things that much? It seems to show a much wider disparity with Chrome hitting > 5k runs per second and Safari 5 hitting only 308... My only concern about that is the appearance of cherry picking results

Given IE's misleading page about HTML5 support, by omitting the parts they do not support to make it look like they are the market leader, Apple could have had something to gain by giving a warning that says something along the lines of "Yo

An important note from the bottom of the announcement: "The PostgreSQL Global Development Group will stop releasing updates for PostgreSQL versions 7.4 and 8.0 after June of 2010. We urge users of those versions to start planning to upgrade

I thought this was a rather humorous thing to search on: https://graph.facebook.com/search?q=facebook%20privacy Mainly people warning about the privacy changes, yet have public status updates.

Annecdotally, I have similar findings. The iPad has replaced 90% of my laptop use at home and the office. The laptop only comes out when I need to do Real Work™, things that require multiple ssh sessions, browser windows, chat, email, etc

The intent was not to speak to the development process per se, but the roadmap for Postgres.

I'd say the project has been more interested in making its own space than targeting users of any particular product. Now if you take companies like EnterpriseDB, they are specifically targeting Oracle users. That, however, is entirely ind

There's no "marketing" direction; the project is not trying to capitalize on anything. It's adding requested features when they're stable and able to be implemented in a way that has consensus among the committers.

It seems to me that the post I was replying to was making more of a general point of encouraging piracy, not just as a solution to the lala.com streaming purchase problem.

To be clear here, you're advocating illegal activity and negatively impacting the artist who created the music you like, because you dislike a business model. FYI, in case you missed it, music purchased from ITMS is DRM free.

Right, not using all the tools available in an OS is quite different than not being able to do so because of the development environment.

I keep trying to break up with Coda. It lacks many things I want in an editor. Then I go try another editor; I've tried many. I always end up back at Coda and hope they'll add a feature or two that I requested two years ago. Sometimes I thi
