I think it's OK because he said >(plus libraries) So some of this would belong as a language feature and other stuff would be in the standard library (is what I'm imagining at least). I'm a Cocoa guy, and when a lot of people rave about

> GMail cost me $0, and it's probably the best webmail service/interface out there right now. Yes, you get a good product, but you also get ads. Your information isn't really entirely private. Some people are totally fine with that, and

I'm glad to see some people have the balls to actually charge for a service instead of peppering me with ads. You get what you pay for. If I were looking to use a service like this, I'd be much happier investing in my time in one I pay for

That sounds like a really cool technical challenge. Care to write about how you solved it?

The site won't even load for me. I've been trying on and off over a few hours... What gives?

Android is like a supermarket: limitless choices and combinations, but you've got to cook it yourself. iOS is like a restaurant: most of the choices are made for you, but the meal is effortless.

As someone who spends most of their time in Xcode doing Objective-C work, I find the debugger to be particularly delightful. Between the gdb/lldb shell, mouse-over displays, variables view, "automatically run in the debugger when I set brea

Are you comparing Objective-C to C# or C++? Those are two completely different beasts. I find Objective-C refreshing when compared to C++ ( take inheritance for example...in C++ I need to redeclare functions I'm overriding from my base clas

For a $1 app? It's still astounding what agonizing great lengths a customer will go through in order to decide for or against a $1-5 app purchase. A latte apparently has higher value than a piece of software you'll likely use at least a lit

I thought Apple's Objective-C runtime was open sourced.. I guess I was conflating LLVM/clang with the runtime itself.

Will they? Any reference to back that up? I don't think Apple has done this in the past, and I don't think they've said they will either.

I'm just wondering if it's actually cheaper though. iTunes Match is $24.99 per year , remember. However, iTunes Match isn't everyone's cup of tea (and odds are, not available in their country. It isn't in mine).

3) The green maximize button still doesn't maximize. This isn't and has never been a "maximize" button. It's supposed to zoom the window to fit the content as best it can without scrolling. It's up to the developer to implement it

It is. And "Documents and Data" is just a wrapper term to mean "App Store apps have APIs to sync data with iCloud", whether it's a Mac or iOS app. It doesn't mean "Just iWork documents". I think the reason for confusion is just... so few ap

This is fantastic. How lovely would it be if Apple bought this up for iOS Xcode. I have a feeling some day there will be a way to write iOS apps on iOS, provided by Apple.

The foolish popover "SHARE" thing makes the lower half of the article unreadable on an iPhone. That's pretty annoying.

Agreed. This is their best selling device yet. Apple isn't one to sit on its laurels, but why would they replace a flagship* product just 5 months after its introduction? *(ignore that PPC iMac released before the Intel switch)

I fully agree video games are an important form of expression and art. They tell stories and evoke emotion and deserve to be treated like art. Having said that, typically those "sucked in programmers" are not the ones working on the "art" s
