Jobs implies something when he says that he thinks the web "should" be open. He doesn't say it's better for Apple if it's open. Anyway, what is the point? Shouldn't we all have our own self interest in mind and not Apple's? What do I ca

They seem to be arguing both sides. First we should have open standards. This is great because apps work cross platform. But then he goes on to say that cross platform libraries are bad because they stifle apple innovation. This is very

It seemed more geared towards kids to me. It seems like an attempt to bring back the way a lot of us learned, by buying books/magazines with code listings and typing them in. It's a decent idea. Anyone can do it and you really do learn s

I don't understand how a salary jump of 3 years can be a career regression of 5 years. That means you are paying him 8 yrs behind what he should be earning by his career progression? That is sad.

Some people will always regret whatever it is that they decided not to do. The best defense is to make mindful decisions. It's not surprising that the thing this guy thought he really wanted to do is something that is force fed to us 24/7

I really enjoyed this blog. The basic idea is that game genres are not art (the abstract idea of the game that you beat), but that the implementation is definitely art.

First off, I don't claim to be an IT person or know what normal users need to be safe. I can only speak to my personal experience as a programmer. I haven't had a virus in 14 years. I haven't ever run anti-virus software. I have a good

The comments in the blog talk about arrogance and how someone else would have done what RMS did if he didn't exist. They also complain that him being a "nutjob" has actually done harm to freedom. This line of thinking is dead wrong. It t

And why have you concluded that the clause is made by evil lawyers (who Apple hires) and not by the business? Can I really do anything I want in life, and if I'm criticized, I can just claim, "my lawyers made me do it"?

Why should we, as developers, be happy that Apple is creating lock in? Sure, I understand why, but does that mean we should all just accept it? Was the Microsoft era something we all look back fondly on? I think you'd have to be a comple

It seems insane to me that companies spend tons of money creating apps only to have the rug pulled out from under them. Is there any legal action that could be taken for Apple changes the rules like this? Is there at least a grace period?
