Are you really saying people should not criticize their sponsors? So you like articles and reviews raving about some product just because it was given to the author for free? (I hate those podcasts, by the way, not defending them, just this

Here's some feedback on this specific version: let me opt out of it globally , on every single website on the Internet. Thank you.

Except there is NO way for readers to opt out. Please, you promised this five months ago: give us a global cookie to opt out of it everywhere . Failing that, the minimum barely acceptable option would be to remember when I turn it off on

In assembly factories people work shifts, not full days.

People complaining about high prices and factory working conditions at the same time always baffles me. You do realize that the cheaper some product is, the less these people are going to be paid, right? Of course the reverse is not a given

You asked for proof that the data is correctly and securely used. That is what cannot be proved, regardless of your trust in the company or lack thereof.

It is sad, though, when Google entering the market killed a successful solution built outside of Google. Google Wave, for example.

That cannot be proven. You need to trust somebody, at some point.

The iPhone probably doesn't run this specific software but it does ask you at set up time if you want to send diagnostic data to Apple.
192.
by falling 15y ago
Yes, when you set up an iPhone it asks you if you want to send diagnostic data to Apple. I think the difference here is the actively asking vs actively hiding part.

True, hadn't verified that.

While I agree the app's UX is absolutely sub-par, the guy could skip steps 4-7 and just tap on Remind Me, as the screen looks exactly the same at step 4 as it does at step 8 and as you can do on every cell with a right pointing arrow. I don

VLC was pulled because one of the copyright holders complained about the additional restrictions the App Store license adds to the code. In this case, assuming all the copyright holders agree, they own it and can do whatever they want with

I have seen and used this phone live. PenTile is still noticeable, especially on clear, uniform color areas and I still wonder how they even thought about releasing it in the first place. For me, PenTile is a deal breaker. Also, remember th

You are right. Make that 600MHz iPhone 3G S.

Yes, numbers are objective, that's why some 1GHz dual-core Android devices still can't scroll a web page as smoothly as the 1st gen 400MHz iPhone.

To those suggesting that messaging should be replaced by instant messengers: No thanks. WhatsApp, iMessage and this kind of solutions have one feature that they carry over from SMS that makes all the difference to me: they don't have the co

Same here. The Show Related Messages feature is even an improvement over Gmail's conversations. Now I want that on my iPhone.

It shouldn't. GC is not perfect, ARC is not perfect, no language is perfect. All of them can be improved. ObjC is definitely being improved.
204.
by falling 15y ago
With clang, ObjC is getting very interesting features that take it closer and closer to "real" high level languages, like GCD, ARC and blocks. I'd still like more type safety, but the evolution there is slower and would need more fundamenta

I loved C. But it always fell short for me. Objective-C fixed that.(red-sweater.com)

Uh? Have you seen any demo videos? The fact that it talks back to you and can interact only by voice is pretty much the only feature that sets Siri apart from previous voice control solutions. You could argue that it's not complete yet, but

I think Google may already have a problem, and it is not Siri, it is the migration to mobile. Mobile screens are small, you cannot show many ads without compromising search results. Pages are zoomed in to read, hiding contextual ads.

I'm familiar with DDG, donttrack.us, dontbubble.us. My question was because even without an account or using its search engine, with AdWords and other products, Google is able to track people to provide them – and those who fall in the same

Do you (and anyone else on this thread isolating Facebook to prevent tracking) do the same for Google?

When the primary use case is reading, then books are to e-readers what music is to iPods.
