   Seems like two different products - the app and the pen. I don't see how the app couldn't be created without the pen or the pen created without the app.

   I've tended to explain it to people this way -- In the related computer science fields there are only three kinds of problems: 1) The problems math makes for you. These are the kind of problems lots of people think they work on, but don't.

   My favorite workspace had proper offices surrounding open working spaces. Most everyone worked in an office, sometimes doubled up with an officemate. When you needed to blow off some steam, talk to a coworker or collaborate, you moved out i

   Would you feel different if the cloned body (or body parts) were grown in a fashion such that it was never intelligent or aware? Such as without a full brain or even without a head? Would it then be a soul?

   There isn't One Answer. The point is, you have plenty of alternatives. I don't know why the patch hasn't been applied. I know how I can find out though: I can join the developer mailing list and ask. If that doesn't work, I can track down a

    Uh, I linked to the official git repos for Apache. Apache isn't afraid of git. Plenty of Apache people love git. At the same time there are issues with implementing and supporting it by the ASF infra team. If you want all those details, sea

    "How does this help Apache or its projects?" The Apache Foundation is what you make of it. It will not change just because you post to your blog, but it will change if you engage the committer and membership population, build a consensus ar

    If you're using git, as the OP suggets, then you're going to fork it just to work on it. Forking isn't dramatic. Code is open source for a reason. If you have a critical bug in code you need running in your infrastructure, take ownership of

    Ok, there's a lot to cover here. First off, the Apache Software Foundation isn't trying to absorb anyone or anything. Projects and people come to the ASF. It's a specific policy of the Foundation to NOT solicit projects. If someone says the

    Then fork it. It's open source for a reason. Or raise a fuss on the mailing list. That's how open source works.

    I truly admire B&N's approach, but they may have to take a lesson from Sun in its early fight with IBM on patents [1]. It's not about these particular patents. MS has thousands of patents and can keep playing this game indefinitely. Tha

    Though these days with services like Spotify, Rdio, and Pandora, you have free, legal access to huge libraries of music. It's at least enough to allow for use cases like the one you mention. Yes, I know these services are not available in m

    Yeah, I actually chuckled when I read "this may be the [spec comparison] that will come in the handiest this shopping season." Consumers don't care about specs in this market. Sure, a few do, but not enough to make or break a product. This

    No, it's not Apple's servers! The bandwidth for the app itself is small in comparison to the bandwidth for the content (streaming music or movies) which Apple does NOT host or help with at all. And if you'd go back to the actual case law in

    First, the guidelines have been changed in the past. That's one of the issues everyone has with Apple's behavior - changing the rules. So let's not take the guidelines as the final arbiter. Last.fm, Netflix, Pandora, Hulu and so forth are o

    I'm tired of seeing Zach's comment reposted as if it's some sort of inspired gospel. Apple is positioning itself as _both_ a platform for applications and services _and_ as a consumer service. The services offered by Netflix, Hulu, Rhapsody
