So it's a semantics argument about the difference between "purchased" and "own". I guess they could have implemented a whole new category of item in their service (owned, but not purchased) or they could just set th

No they didn't. Apple added an album to your "purchased" list, and if you happen to have the setting for automatically downloaded and syncing your purchases checked, then the service automatically downloaded and synced your p

Yeah, no one plays Playstation since the Sony hack. And I bet no one shops at Target any more. TKMaxx ceased trading right after their hack. Linked In is a thing of the past.

Very valid replies, I guess I'm being clumsy with the language a bit. It seems odd to criticise Mailbox for only supporting limited services because where is the line to be drawn? If it extends to include Yahoo, Live, Outlook, does th

Yes! Unless, whilst we're here, we just stop releasing anything at all until it's absolutely perfect and implements all possible features in all possible scenarios across all possible platforms from day 1. Anything less is buildi

Building a tool to enhance the experience of another service isn't the same as building or supporting a walled garden. That's like saying "developing for iOS||Android||Windows Phone||Symbian is supporting a walled garden!&quo

The problem with the term "binge drinking" is that it's a political term rather than a medical one. It's used almost exclusively to push an agenda - and gets redefined to meet the needs of the user.

I interviewed for a dev job a good many years ago. I hadn't heard of the company at the time (they were pretty small so there was no reason that I should have) so I did a lot of research. I remember that their financials were looking

The problem we have is that Labour have historically proven to be even more draconian and anti-libertarian than the Conservatives. The only realistic alternative the Conservative government is a Labour government. The best we can hope for

I absolutely agree that in cases where it can be proven, or it is reasonably suspected, that there is criminal or terrorist activity afoot that the various law enforcement agencies should be able to get access to online communications. Luck

Sort of. The problem that the mainstream political parties have right now is that right-wing sentiment just scored high in the elections. They need a little bit of sabre-rattling and flag-waving to convince those on the left-most fringe of

The consultant's addendum to this is to sit and listen contemplatively when someone learned is speaking, determine through the general response of the room whether this person has broad support / likely knows what they're tal

I think this is a positive move. My gmail for instance is one of the better-protected services I use: I have a ludicrous password and 2FA. The reset options only include dialling my mobile (not voicemail) or emailing another account (whic

That's something that I've done with data processing and security contracts for the last 4 or 5 years. It's an addendum to the main commercial contract and is deliberately long. Almost all of it is non-exceptional "jus

Until there is final proof and production of sufficient evidence, this post is as valid as the claims that information was extracted. Whilst I completely agree that if taken as a reason not to update this is unhelpful, the OP isn't enu

I was doing dev at a large utility company in my early 20s. I was only doing it a few years (~4 or 5) when the tech stack was completely overhauled and it required me to re-learn the new stack. I started to transition across (in my own ti

I think Virtualisation, Automation, and Orchestration technologies would be the best place to start again. I've seen some really impressive things done at pretty impressive scale with this stuff.

In my experience "agile" isn't really a thing, more an excuse or reason to not follow any rules at all. Devs get to play at building whatever they like, solving the problems that interest them in a haphazard way and leaving
