I still don't understand why everyone has this misguided quest for a clean history. An accurate history is much more important. Rebasing destroys historical information. I can't really see any advantages of rebasing when a merge d

I'm happy that the most recent pages now don't look so ugly and don't have that horrible white gradient when you hover over them now.

The average person (who according to apple does not use a passcode) will be more secure overall if they use Touch ID.

It's still good advice. In fact, unless you audit the source of your OS, it's compiler, hardware and any software you need to use you can't really make any guarantees either.

Link is broken. Anyone have a mirror?

No. This is just a method of "securing" messages without encryption. It still requires a shared key. Replaying messages sent this way would be no different to replaying an encrypted message. This is not an authentication scheme.

If we're being picky, they aren't white. Definitely not #FFF. More of a pale green.

This isn't news.. Chrome Developer Tools has been able to do this for years.

In an ideal world, the spec would be the test. A spec is just a human readable test. A test is just a machine readable spec.

Further more, what's wrong with chaining function calls? It makes the whole thing a lot easier to read. $("<p>") .addClass("greeting") .html("Hello World") .appendTo("#helloWorld .output") And your s

I never once saw a James (my own name). It could be confirmation bias, but I swear very common names were not printed as often to keep more people looking for their own names. http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=common+names

The repeating pattern applied to the button isn't a stylistic pattern but a texture. Looks great none-the-less, I just wouldn't call them "patterned buttons".

Do you really think that Apple wont settle if they don't think they will win? I'm pretty sure whatever patents HTC has can't be worth a mere drop of iPhone sales profit. Apple are more likely to buy HTC outright for the patents in question

How does that even matter? The technique being used is real color cycling. Whether the palette is abstracted in hardware or software hardly makes a difference...

Yeah I just figured that it wasn't to scale... Looking on http://phone-size.com it seems like it is to scale. So that diagram is clearly biased and hurts his argument, but I think that what he says is still valid. I don't see any advant

Funny how the iPhone suddenly has a "small screen"... When it first came out the phone and screen were criticized for being impractical due to it's large size. http://dcurt.is/2011/10/03/3-point-5-inches/

This problem annoys me a lot. I have a KVM switch and switch between Windows and OS X a lot. Every time I switch from Windows back to OS X the mouse behaviour is noticeably different and a moment is spent self correcting the mouse and quick

I could be wrong, but I had the impression that when a domain is transferred the date that domain is valid until stays the same, however you need to purchase another year on top of the existing expiry date.

The only advantage I can see is that when the theory, formulas and algorithms are published, not the specific implementation itself, it forces people who want to who want to verify your work to write their own implementation. It kind of mak

A markup language, by definition, cannot define behaviour. You can do design, layout and animations with markup, but you simply cannot do any kind of processing or behaviour (when I say behaviour, I mean things like authentication, processi
