Sure, he's certainly not going to need the money from Apple, but it also shows where his passion is that he still accepts $1 from the company and hasn't sold any shares. Whilst not everyone agrees with his methods or what Apple stands for,

Apple is the company that Jobs founded and whilst he was ousted (and sold his shares) at the time, I'm sure that it will always be his 'baby'. He obviously loves what he does and doesn't need the money anyway. I can't remember where I rea

If you look at the history of Apple this is something that they do often when they believe in something strongly. Removing the floppy drive, being one that I remember very strongly. I feel Leopard support would have been useful, however I'm

This is available outside of iTunes on YouTube (I think). I understand your reasoning, but as I do have iTunes it makes a very nice, seamless way of subscribing to their content, which can then be shared across my various devices (iphone /

Wow, that sounds great. I'd be very interested in this. Do you think you may have plans for taking the age range down also? I have two kids - 8 years old and 3 years old and a great resource for all the basis, as well as some more advanced

I'd never heard of it, but I've just signed up for one via iTunes U. These look awesome. It will be interesting to see where the world of education goes in the next decade. Personally I'm looking for resources for younger children (5-15)

Agreed. He's completely car crazy and we discussed him creating a little database of cars that he's interested in, complete with photos. Probably a bit advanced for what we need to do initially (otherwise he'll get bored if he can't see pr

What is interesting to read here are the comments below the story. The article is from 2007 and yet the comments (predominantly negative) keep going in. I don't personally have any knowledge of Vizio, but I'd certainly be wary after readin

This is the second post from myself in this thread. The reason I've separated it though is that we are looking for coders for a client who we're involved with on a percentage-share basis. They are looking for people to work on a telecoms/w

"Our web has been taken hostage and monopolized." I'm not so sure that sensationalist line from their website is true. Currently I use AWS for a LOT of our latest work and I love how they (Amazon) keep pushing out new and exciting features

Yes, definitely. They don't just work as employees and they suggest new ideas, new ways of working that over the years have been hugely beneficial (with hindsight). I'd just like to also say that I gave some of the primary guys a revenue s

We're looking for python-specific skills at the moment, ideally with crawler and scaling experience. We have some developers in the UK, but most of our guys are in Russia. The Russian guys have proved to be very very capable. We did not ou

This is a classic case of where the guy followed his passion/dream. He wasn't in it for the money but wanted to create the best site (actually database at first) for movies and ultimately was rewarded by Amazon buying it. Shows how passion

I'm in the UK. We're do the same - although often people break them!!! My wife and I have done 'goals' for the year. I'd say 50% of them are easily achievable, but things we want to 'get done' and 50% of them would be a stretch. It's amaz

That's interesting to hear. Apple is rarely mentioned on here in terms of 'going to work for them' and I agree that whilst its probably going to be a lot of hard work when you're there that you'll gain some serious knowledge and work along

Thanks. That's helped to clarify things much more than my own reading found. Maybe it would be a good idea to put something up on the various sites to signpost new people to? Thanks again though. Looking forward to trying out Pyramid

I know on the surface that it does, but Pyramid isn't ready for production as yet. Also, the secondary issue for me is that I had made a choice to go with Pylons, but that has effectively been abandoned (sorry for the strong word as I appre

Wow, I'm thoroughly confused as to which way to go with Python and web frameworks now. We do a fair bit of Python work, primarily for back-end processing (our main work is still in PHP) and we've been trying to move more to Python. I did
