You seem to know more about this than me, but from the post it appears like their data is just fine but the keys to decrypt it are gone/corrupt.

Go one step further and get the excellent codekit: http://incident57.com/codekit/ It is an essential piece of software in my workflow.

Give it a try with TextEdit and you'll see the expected response.

Honestly that sounds like the perfect group to decide this. The whole point of this lawsuit is to prove that your average Joe would have a hard time distinguishing Samsung's product from Apple's.

Nice post, thanks. However, as long as we're in best practices mode, you may want to write those commit messages in present tense.

I completely agree with you that in some (many) cases it's useful. But your checkout example proves my point; you wouldn't want a bot crawling through there. Bots should be crawling content-rich pages (blogs, articles, marketing pages), and

Rendering templates on the server is not expensive at all, that is completely untrue. I've been keeping up like any developer, in fact I'm writing a Backbone app as we speak. But like all of the apps I write, Google doesn't need to crawl i

Who really needs this for their web app? Nearly 99% of heavy web apps require a login, so Google is out of the picture anyway. Anyone who is building a content site with DOM-manipulating Javascript doing all the work have completely lost t

Nice work, but I think that a white-label API like Pwinty.com would be more profitable.

I assume the remote wipe zeros out the data a few times, otherwise the feature is somewhat useless.

Excellent idea. This beats my mile-long Github watch list.

It doesn't normalize DOM events, which is a big one for many people.

Harnessed was a bad word choice, I meant that it was going to be used 99% of the time for piracy.

Busy week for API drama. I'm going to have to side with Dropbox on this one. This tool was quite obviously going to be harnessed for piracy.

I agree. I've always felt they've had good intentions, and I think that they do in this case as well. They are looking out for the posters who are entrusting them with their data.

If CL decided to take that money on the table, they might have rubbed a lot of people the wrong way and went out of business years ago. Maybe they realized the path to greatest profitability was to act like they don't care about profits. Ju

I'm not disagreeing with you, but do you see how the appearance of not being profit driven can increase your profits?

I'm surprised that FB doesn't have a full blown "FaceSense" program already. People may not be in a buying mood while on FB, but they will be on other sites.

I just checked out my home town and there were tons of units.

I have a feeling all this will be somewhat moot anyway. If Padmapper is as popular as it appears to be, then many rental companies will go straight to them and submit their units in addition to CL.

I don't have any numbers, but I switched back to the old version because "next" was so slow.

Quick note on SSL: it's highly likely those prices will drop significantly once AWS supports multiple physical IPs per instance. Right now they have to provision an ELB to sit in front of your app to gain that extra IP.

It took me a while to realize that it was 750 hrs per app . That was a good day.

Maybe it's just me, but credit cards seem pretty old fashion. I mean, could you imagine someone inventing a payment technology today that required you to give away your secret password to each and every person who needed to bill you? It's

Stripe might be considered "disruptive" in the developer community, but I fail to see how they are beyond that. They built a very easy to use tool on top of an outdated (though still commonly used) payment technology.

This is kind of ridiculous... someone has a positive ROI on FB. If no one does, then CPC/CPM prices will drop until they do.

I just started working with Tastypie, and am really enjoying it. I'm in the process of writing an adapter to DynamoDB, and it's coming along very smoothly.

Google has gone so far over the line with ads it's ridiculous. I didn't even realize it until recently when I disabled my ad blocker for a moment. I'm amazed Googlers can look at that every day at work and not feel like their company has l
