Mozilla - that's a perfect example! Apple and DRM is interesting. They're pretty expressly against it across rich media content. Their video services are crippled with such awful restrictions due to studio pressure. iOS appears DRM heavy to

Well, had they gone out of business, all of those jobs would have evaporated. It's not a free pass - it's an organizational restructuring. No business would be crucified for killing an unprofitable division; this happened to be an interesti

A 12-column grid lets you easily mix 3-colum and 4-column layouts. A 16-column grid does not. [edit] Essentially it's more expressive. Another commenter correctly mentioned that it could have the same advantages above for a responsive desig

Interesting! The language on the MBP specs says "Combined headphone/line in", whereas the MBA specs say "Headphone port". But you are correct: my headphones register as an audio input on the Macbook Air. I wonder if it's a very specific exc

The Macbook Air does not have a combo port (currently). Just a headphone jack. I used dedicated to mean "includes specific hardware to handle this use case". Sorry for the ambiguity. The consumer product line continues to have fewer fine-gr

Sounds like a bug. I can't reproduce it on my Air, and it appears other commenters have difficulty reproducing it as well. The OP/commenters experiencing the issue should probably file a Radar.

He even gets basic facts incorrect. The author assumes his Macbook Pro doesn't have a dedicated audio input. It does. Every Macbook Pro does. (The Macbook Air is the only Mac shipping without a built-in audio input). Really, what I see is a

"Free" is the perception though. Nobody is arguing the merits of a cable subscription. The content is already piped into his house per a contract he signed, so it's there and it's "free". There is, however, no sum of money - no matter how l

I'd pay top-dollar to rent a movie while it's still in theaters (especially in lieu of a low-quality, pirated option). If the rental price decreases as the film leaves theaters, they could still maintain a strong sense of the value of their

I've definitely gone back and forth with that, and felt the exact same way when I learned Python. And I agree - semantic whitespace is a really great feature that makes Python simpler in a lot of ways. Where I start to like it less is when

I also think Python is a great teaching language, but I think it brings some confusing concepts to the table. Whitespace nesting is one of my favorite things in the world, but is a bit of a demanding idea to add for someone with no experien

It's opt-in for old projects, but it's as simple as compiling the app with Lion support without code changes or compatibility issues to turn on the flag for the window in IB. (Obviously, for new Lion projects, it's automatically enabled). T

This is super important. Use Typekit, or another font that allows embedding (Lost Type Co-Op is great http://losttype.com/browse ). If it's not "Knockout", I'd love to know what it actually is. Always need more good fonts.

by ddagradi 15y ago
Don't forget to take a look at your site without your custom font. Firefox, for example, doesn't load it at all in 3.6 or 8, and it looks like crap.
