For the first several releases of OS X, you actually couldn't build a Cocoa application without the corresponding Nibs to go with it. Apple's frameworks didn't expose all the hooks necessary to write your UI entirely in code,

One small piece of advice for anyone following along, make sure you have measurable retention before you reach out to the press. They will inevitably get you a huge boost in downloads and/or traffic, but if you don't have a sticky

Hmm, x86 emulation on ARM is the most interesting nugget. No one here thinks Windows Phone will be back in any serious capacity and that brand is pretty much finished. Looks like this will run similar to how Apple got PowerPC apps running o

I don't actually think it'll be a difference in monetary value. I suspect machine run markets will feel cold and lifeless, while human run ones will feel warm and welcoming. I've been to restaurants where you order from a ter

TLDR; A conservative essay full of interesting anecdotes where liberal scientists have stifled businesses with regulations that later turned out to be debunked. It ends on the topic of climate change and insists that liberals are once again

The problem with Apple's internal culture is that even though engineers are brilliant and fully capable, products are designed from the top down. Apple employs people who are a very passionate about wireless technology. VERY passionate

You don't need to reverse engineer the protocol. TDS is an open spec on their website.

C++ is lacking in the list of supported languages. It's great to rebrand HockeyApp here, but this limits the usefulness for me.

That's not completely fair. Startups want and need more experienced employees and cannot afford to bring in new grads at the scale bigger corporations can. Facebook, for example, has an entire org that focuses just on internships and n

The most engrossing game I've played is The Last of Us on the PlayStation. Wow, it was literally the only time in my life that I stayed up into the early hours to get as far I could. So much depth and nuance in every chapter to build

They all read these comments silently, and I have a few friends who feel burned by all the negative press. Some have spent a really long time and many hours on this latest laptop. There's definitely a camp inside the company who believ

All the Vine celebrities have moved on to Instagram and YouTube. I opened it up a few weeks ago, forgetting I still had it installed in a folder, and all the big names I followed hadn't published anything in months. So I deleted the ap

UWP is mostly a validation that Microsoft employs brilliant engineers. They took all the knowledge of their platforms over the years and condensed it into a unified story. For that, UWP works. However, the same problem that plagues the Mac

At first I applauded Microsoft for continuing to advance the desktop computer market. This is something I wish Apple would continue to invest in but is clear they're moving towards building machines for the engineers to build iOS softw

How is it that Sony PS4/Vita stores can sell these same indie games for $20 a pop? Sony pushes these games hard and gives every one of them a fair amount of free marketing. They also celebrate their game developers by writing about the

That's an ad for the PowerBook G4 marketed to power users of the platform. See http://www.apple.com/mac-pro/performance/ for comparison of the difference in marketing. Also see http://cdn.arstechni

Also lacking is support for queries that would open up other media apps. "Siri, can you play my podcast in Overcast?"

Sorry but how is sharing a link to my followers on Twitter, or my close friends on Facebook different from sharing a link on Hacker News? Original content will always want to be free to make as much money as it can. NYTimes for example will

My guess is this is going to become a full blown toolkit that easily enables Azure development. Once you can one-click deploy a service to Azure and then write the library that exports to Xcode or Android studio, Microsoft wins. It's p

I think apps are in a lull right now because most were abandoned and left users feeling jittery about pouring their lives into them. Also few apps spent the effort to take advantage of working offline. If I'm in the subway, I'm ba
