   "too enterprisey" = a service that large businesses can integrate deeply into their existing applications, Amazon can bill them for, and yet another compelling reason for companies with obscene amounts of money to dip their toes into AWS. L

   Steam is such a good, user-friendly platform nobody really cares that it wraps everything in DRM. Even if the world ended and Valve had to shut down Steam I feel pretty comfortable in the assumption they would "do right" by their customers

   I don't understand: one click opt-out is ok for Google but not for Facebook's product launches?

   yes but 'Walkman' or 'iPhone' aren't the only products made by their respective companies, and they keep trying new stuff. Kodak is dead because they rode the analog film horse into the ground and never realized they needed to diversify and

    This is ridiculous. Facebook has a very open API at https://graph.facebook.com that makes nearly all data on Facebook profiles "open" once the owner has granted permission to access that data. The issue here is that Google wants unfettere

    I was talking with a former Apple server division employee (from Cupertino) and was laughing at the insane RAM upgrade pricing costs compared to Crucial and other vendors. He acknowledged that they were pretty high, but said that this is be

    My guess is that if they did coincide a release to his birthday there would be no public acknowledgment by Apple PR, and they would refuse to answer any questions about it. Those that know, know, but everybody else just buys new iPads.

    I would recommend against using these IP addresses for large sites. Most of them (Facebook, Google, Amazon, etc) use geographic load balancing to redirect users to servers as logically close to them as possible. Using this list could result

    Every one of these features would be great if it were the Facebook equivalent, instead of G+. It's unfortunate that Google's insistence on never acknowledging Facebook's existence limits their long term relevance and success.

    Same for the PCI compliance process. Auditors are on your side and want you to pass, so they'll bend in all sorts of ways to accept bad practice as "acceptable at this company"

    Does every person in the world have a BMW? Could every person that doesn't have one be a potential customer for BMW? Facebook has the potential to be a database of every human in the world with extensive metadata about those people's friend

    This is almost certainly not approved by Apple PR, and is one of the rare instances where any information about Apple's internal operations are released to the public. I would guess that Diego is about to be out of a job before Christmas :[
