But Amazon already doesn't support purchasing in their iOS apps why can't they make an app but do the same on Apple TV?

Yes could this move be an attempt to force Apple to allow the Prime app on the Apple TV? I've always wondered who: Apple or Amazon is stopping Amazon Instant from appearing on the Apple TV.

No it's not strange. It's the only way to make sure everything is working correctly before giving your computer back. If you tell them you aren't comfortable with that they do have workarounds. If they DIDN'T need your p

One of the amazing things to me about Thumbtack is the new user on-boarding experience. If you're building a product that needs user signups you should check it out. Basically if you come there looking for someone to help you mount som

If I click "Get Feedback" without doing anything else on the page then I see "internal server error" Are you just testing out the concept? I didn't see pricing anywhere on the page. Even if it's free you should

Tangential question, how do software firms get contracts like this? Seems like a good business to be in.

Not in this case no, but even in the case where they were asked to stay late I would still find the idea that they had special priviledges to reconfigure their schedule unfair. As a parent myself I just believe I'm not entitled to spec

This is why I brought this up. I had the same situation where the only person on the team who had a "valid excuse" was the one who had to take kids to school in the morning. Other people on the team felt they were required to do m

I think that's what I was getting at. The whole concept of a "valid excuse" seems arbitrary to me. I worked at a place that had regular office hours and one of the people on the team was regularly late because he had to drop

This is a tangent but, as a father I've always felt the sick child/spouse excuses were dumb in the same way that smokers were allowed to take extra 15 minute breaks at one of my jobs. Shouldn't the presence or absence of a fa

The article speculates the used phones will be resold not sent to a landfill.

AT&T as an example is offering $25 discount on your plan for phones that aren't under contract so I wouldn't say users are still paying the same price as before for their phone plan. http://m.att.com/shopmobile

I believe the makers of Draw Something won this game. Sold right at the peak of popularity then faded to relative obscurity within a few months.

The funny part to me about this story is the fact that HBO had to do a 3.5 month sprint to get this out on time. Seems like incredible incompetence that a company of their size could be this unprepared for such a major and obvious business

No I have a huge issue with it. They are making billions a year and they want to use my paid resources for free and then tell me that it didn't affect me at all which they cannot know.

BITS uses client centric bandwidth measurement, not network centric which isn't really possible and that's the point of contention. You cannot know exactly how your network usage is affecting the larger network. Basically Microsof

That does not solve it. A little technical response to your comment. The linked wikipedia page describes how TCP detects appropriate and safe bandwidth to use for transmission using 2 main techniques: 1. Detection of how long it takes to re

Wow "Microsoft says that the feature “helps people get updates and apps more quickly if they have a limited or unreliable Internet connection” and “does not slow down your internet connection” as it uses a “limited portion” of idle upl

Conversely this has the potential to put a constant drain on your company's external link. The lan part makes perfect sense, but the default is to send updates to everyone in the world, not just your lan.

I didn't use the preview (like most people) and again, it never prompted me to make me aware of this.

Thanks for the tip. How do you keep passwords and keys in sync amongst team members safely?

How do you communicate that data amongst team members then?

I kept waiting for the payoff, but the article never gave proof that Steve Jobs was behind it. Sounds to me like what happened is that Steve when negotiating with Warner Brothers said something like, "How can you charge us those rates

I've been working as a consultant for a number of years and I think the biggest difference is the inconsistent salary. As I recall there was a recent poll someone posted on HN and that was the main reason people don't go into cons

I think this is a common misconception. People have varying symptoms, but it's important to remember that those are symptoms and may not equate the the damage done to your system. I was like you re:symptoms, but instead of going gluten
