Thanks. I couldn't remember a specific example off the top off my head, but this is exactly the sort of thing were reddit is a great combination of reliability and accessibility.

Not an answer, but this seems like it would be a fun, and fairly painless side-project. I've never tried writing something for streaming video over a network so it seems like it would be a good learning experience.

Sigh. Reddit is not a completely terrible place to get expert advice. Yes, there is a great deal of awful advice to be found there. But there are also a fair number of subreddits that are the primary gathering place for that community, and

Agreed. The people in this thread don't seem to have any understanding of optics. You don't allow your brand on something that will be opposed by the majority of your users. It isn't about fairness or a double standard. It is

Hmm, I can't hit the site in my browser, but curl is grabbing it just fine. However I am beginning to feel that the user experience might not be exactly equivalent.

Fair enough, but as I recall, respect for patent law at the time was very limited, particularly where other countries were concerned.

Ever want to skip a song on your iphone while driving? You know basically where the buttons are, but not exactly and since there is no feedback you cant tell if you are hitting a button, or just empty screen. With feedback you could allow t

I am more thinking about going. There is no reason why we wont soon begin to see implementations where you can find interact-able elements without looking by simply dragging your finger around on the screen.

Haptic feedback is huge. I think it is one of the most important ui innovations in the last few years, and the occasional ridicule apple receives for putting so much effort into it is extremely misguided. Haptic feedback removes the most cr

Sure but SUVs in general sold like crazy, they had a few years to watch the rav4 sell extremely well, BMW came out with the M3 at the same time, and Mercedes was already making a ton of money selling luxury SUVs. I just don't see how t

I hate the initial comparison. Look, everybody knows that SUVs are the easiest type of car to sell, and compacts are the most viciously difficult. So starting your article with a comparison that is so obviously flawed hardly lends credibili

NO! Not at all. Jesus Apple. Give me a break. I like the privacy, I am invested in the ecosystem, and I can afford it, but a phone isn't worth $1000 dollars to me. It isn't a computer, it can never replace my macbook, and it will

What are the honest chances that Apple is prepping to move off of x86 to ARM for their computers? They are basically the undisputed leader in ARM processors at the moment right?
