None of those use cases are going to grow the PC market. The things you're describing have always been a niche (remember Workstation Class PCs?) that may add a few $$ to the bottom line, but they are not going to drive growth. The PC

This isn't an app and Apple has no involvement in approving it. RTA - it's an IMAP proxy that injects some css/html stuff to each of your emails.

They aren't 'hijacking' all imap calls, you explicitly set up their service as your email provider, and email is proxied through it.

Unfortunate the only nation who has the power to convince others joining this ban, is one of the worst abusers of antibiotics. I'm curious as to just exactly how you think the US is going to convince China, Russia, India, etc to ban

Might not be more complex, but it'll be a long time before it's compliant with any building codes. You can't run LV anything in the same runs as your AC lines.

"and the condescension is well-deserved, IMO" Really? You are to be expected to speak fluently in every language of any country you might visit? Or is it that you are expected to be polite and refuse to visit any country where y

Not entirely true. Moving your SSH port will not prevent a targeted attacker from finding it, it'll barely slow them down. What it will do however is prevent automated script-kiddy scanning tools from seeing port 22 open, scraping t

There's a big difference between a platform with several hundred thousand known pieces of malware in the wild vs a platform with a tiny handful of what are mostly proof-of-concept apps. Open vs closed & other religious wars aside,

The obvious positive side of this is that existing cables will support the new spec without being replaced... Says so right there in the doc. I'd rather stick with the same form factor and cables than replace everything at some insane

The idea that CL is 'vulnerable' to unbundling is kinda funny, given that almost none of the hundreds of vertical startups have proven to be more successful than the original (can't actually think of any). CL provides the eas

Worth noting that the first country I ever saw a public display of military-style force by the police (APCs rolling around in public, and cops carrying SMGs and assault rifles) was Spain, in 1992. On a recent trip through Germany I saw ano

very nice - now that sketch has been completely ruined as an app by being turned into a platform/feature/tie in, I've been looking for an easy way to annotate and share images. One suggestion for workflow purposes - how about

I've long felt this way as well, but increasingly I'm becoming convinced that the narcos would just refocus on coke, meth, heroin, slavery, etc. It's not as if startups are the only entities that can 'pivot'...

"if you include the energy to pump water up to the roof in the first place" Most places (every place?) I've ever been has had enough mains pressure to get water to a rooftop without an additional pump. I like your idea!

Which one of those two entities has a demonstrated history of eroding personal freedoms? Which of those institutions, has over the span of human history, taken more personal freedoms by force? Which of those institutions has an Army?

I'm sorry, but in the 12 months since the acquisition was announced, MOT has lost pretty much every court case it's been in, had patents invalidated, has been passed over by google for 4 (might be even more?) flagship 'nexus' products, and

It's pretty clear from the context that he's referring to our collective freedom as a nation, the freedom(s) granted to us by the very document mr Bloomberg wishes to reinterpret.

This is a good way to go. My ancient brother multi supports Scan to FTP, so I set up an FTP user with a home directory inside my dropbox folder. Shared that folder with the wife, and now we can scan and have docs magically appear on all of

Pedantically speaking, it's difficult - in fact darned near impossible - for a single residential type host (ie, likely a laptop running windows) to utilize anywhere near the full 1Gb capacity offered. That said, a botnet host running on th

Maybe this is just a terminology gap here, but it seems to me the real issue isn't that the DRM is 'always-on', rather that the DRM model would require one to be 'always-online'. That's a rather disturbing trend. I'd be rather upset if I c

Great article, however if you're going to use an acronym that has an already established meaning (MVP - Most Valuable Person) in an uncommon way, you really ought to explain it. It's entirely possible that everyone in your target audience i

It sounds like you don't quite understand how Dropbox is supposed to work - it replicates whatever you have locally to the cloud and back down to your other machines. Obviously with a design like that, deleting files from your local drop

No, as m4a files are not protected by any copy protection mechanisms, which is the factor in play here. Did you by any chance mean the obsolete .m4p/Fairplay files that Apple abandoned several years back?
