Apple doesn't show their hardware products much before release. With their operating systems it's different. Remember, iOS 5 was announced a few months ago and still isn't released yet.

A few weeks ago I made a bookmarklet for iOS that re-enables zooming and also sets the viewport width to the device-width (this is useful for pages that use the whole width, which leads to small fonts. E.g. Hacker News). It works quite well

Care to elaborate on that?

There were certainly many factors that I don't know about at play here, but it makes me wonder if there's more truth to all that talk about single founder startups than I thought. Whatever the exact reasons for this unfortunate event are, m

Summary: Unix (and especially BSD 4.3) I hate articles which ask a question in the headline and then answer it only in the last few paragraphs.

Hmm, I can't reproduce what he claims by only looking at the cached version without images and source code. I especially don't understand this part: When you use document.write outside of a script tag embedded inline in the page [...]

That's probably because this story went viral. On their homepage http://preyproject.com/ they have a "What people are saying" section in which they display recent tweets that mention prey. Nearly all of them are about this story.

Few people know this, but you don't have to pick it up off your lap to trigger the redo action. There's a redo key on the #+= page of the iPad's keyboard. I know that this isn't particularly great design on Apple's part because it's not int

My method for learning English was a little bit different. First, the groundwork was definitely laid at school, because in my country's school system learning English is mandatory. But after I finished school, I could hardly speak English w

On a related note: I once heard that Jonathan Ive designed the iPhone's calculator as a tribute to Dieter Rams. Doesn't seem unlikely after a quick Google image search: http://s3files.core77.com/blog/images/dieterive.jpg

Thank you for saving me 10 minutes. I'm glad I headed to the comments page before reading the article.

In a way github has contributed more to open source, because they host more open source repositories. They act as a catalyst for open source.

Is aspell a spellchecker? And does this command randomly select one word from its dictionary? (Note: I'm mostly a Windows user nowadays and I have never personally used aspell, sed, or wc) What does the p at the end of the line do? Is that

Programming is art. And artist usually don't get paid too well. Artists either have to be entrepreneurial or very good at their craft in order to get rich. Like most arts, programming can be learnt by yourself without any teacher, but there

When you write things down for GTD it shouldn't be done to help you make complex and preferredly rational decisions. It is done to help you remember, to relieve your mind from having to remember. Writing a task down is different from writin

You're probably right. Does anyone remember Google Sidewiki? http://www.google.com/sidewiki It's not exactly a chat, but still very similar. At the time it was seen with excitement, but I'm not sure how many people still use it. I, for ex

This is really nice. I had a similar idea, but haven't felt ready to implement it yet. I think users would appreciate it if they could keep track of what they have read and summarized. Like an archive for every article they have read. It wo

But is that much different from now? There are already a couple of reasons why someone would click on an ad without "honest interest". I, for example, sometimes click on ads from companies I don't like, so that they have to pay for the clic

I don't understand why they aren't selling ebooks for the same price as printed books, minus the production costs. That would be fair. Discriminating certain distribution channels might be good for profits, but I think it's clearly unethica

Oh god, please don't do this. Said "jQuery sliders" and "jQuery calendars" are awful to use on touch-based devices. The click targets usually aren't big enough. And I wouldn't be surprised if the slider doesn't work at all on touch-based de

This graph is meaningless. A lot of the game consoles probably had a lifespan of at least one year (probably more). The Android tablets and the Playbook are at most half a year old. Knowing this it does not seem fair to me to compare their

I believe this is what's generally called a "wall of text". The lack of paragraphs drastically reduces my willingness to read it.

The fact that they are willing to trick their users into clicking on an ad tells it all. I consider this shameless placement of ads as an insult. It was reason enough for me to not read any further and close the site.
