OK, my main question to Apple is still, please get rid of the 100 device limit, such a pain that Testflight or any other service didn't have a workaround for. Enterprise licenses is still an uncertain thing to do

Well, with so much focus on news about tech companies worth billions, do people become too optimistic and blind for sheer con artists?

It kind of makes me sad. Banking in the US is soooo outdated (paper checks?), and banks themselves together with government seem not able to come up with better ways of organizing this industry. Let's hope somebody takes Zac's adv

Did tethering on the unlimited plan work on your iPhone? Only a couple of months ago I switched from $60/2.5Gig to $70/unlimited and suddenly tethering didn't work anymore

Yep, when starting a company the demand question should be the first one you are trying to answer. Awesome product!

Yeah, I have started to avoid certain events. The Dreamforce hackathon with the 1 million dollar prize for instance looked way too much like a marketing gimmick for Salesforce so I declined. AngelHack is becoming more of a company launching

always up for debate, refactoring. Any size codebase can be rewritten, made more elegant. The important part here is to do it on the job and not wait too long. Personally I like to make sure my method names are up to date, so that they need

hackathons should go back to what they used to be: great events to try out new technology, and meet up with fellow engineers while having fun

Can I ask the obvious question Why? Email (IMAP/SMTP) is so standard, there are lots of companies out there that do it better and cheaper than you yourself can do. GMail (Google Apps for business) and Fastmail.fm are the 2 names I alwa

Blackberry has $2.8 billion in cash in the bank, so price is $1.9 billion. Not bad for a huge set of patents

I agree that being up front about the business model and making it understandable is important. It will let people know there is no catch, but also see what value one will get out of the program

main asset that Blackberry has right now is BBM, their messaging infrastructure. I fear the hardware and BB10 operating system will not make it

+1 I like to refactor just names of variables and methods, instead of writing comment what it actually does.

I'd say that is common knowledge, changed the language a bit. Hopefully I don't need my immigration lawyers not anymore for a while, but my second one is also great!
