Your example of a law that would force Apple to allow Blackberry to write its own iMessage client would open two major problems: - companies like Twitter would be forced to allow 3rd-parties to write clients, and could kill Twitter&#x

I disagree with your reasoning. - you've never tried it, yet you think it's "just meh" - yes, this hardware is going to be obsolete in 1 year, like any hardware in any industry 1 year from now - GearVR is much like DK1 &

The blog post on Github.com only includes links to Github for Mac binaries, not git proper. The link in the blog post to kernel.org has tarballs of source, not binaries. Did I miss something?
