Saying java IDEs are better than XCode is not a valid point. It's an opinion (and an arguable one at that). As to memory management: given that Cocoa's retain/release/autorelease is not painful and my most agonizing debugging sessions with

The authors 12+ years of java development and no objc experience renders this comparison mostly useless.

I've been hyper-critical of Microsoft's recent ad campaigns, but there is nothing not to like about these. Fantastic spots! If the browser they're hawking had benefitted from the same attention to detail, Safari/Chrome/Firefox would have

Um... you do say the fast food chain that you're using in this example is an "also ran" who's name you can remember, right? I'm not sure you should be advising people to adopt their strategy.

I had always wondered how MJ'd done "The Lean". I can't believe I never thought to look it up after the advent of the the internet.

It's also an example of people who don't bother to search for the whole truth before complaining about (what turns out to be) an imagined slight... But yeah.

This article contains inaccurate information! Ignore it and read the author's followup at http://www.geardiary.com/2009/06/21/kindlegate-confusion-abo...

Yes. In fact, there's a whole section in the developer agreement (section 3.3.2) that explicitly forbids using (non-built-in) interpreters on downloaded files. This might be a nice app, and maybe the guy thought he could roll the dice and s

If so, save yourself the money of a degree. Buy some books and put the rest in your company.

You're confused. Microsoft isn't innovating here either. They're paying someone to innovate. That's why it's called "commission". If Apple employed great type designers and was giving them nothing to do, that'd be a problem. But there's bee

It's nice to finally have some hands-on reviews, but the press has been effusive in their coverage of the Pre since it was first announced in a Palm slideshow. I'm eager to hear some user (particularly iPhone and G1 user) testimonials -- es

I'm really excited by this, but I'd love to hear some guidance on pricing. Is this for hacker shops like mine, or for the IBMs of the world?

Of course the denial is reported by Ars and not TechCrunch...

No.

They didn't invent it. They're just licensing it for use in the Kindle.

An interesting analogy, but I'd be happier if it were accompanied with some examples. Hg got everything right? Cool. Like what?

Please consider a small donation to the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund ( http://www.cbldf.org/ ). They do good work defending against this sort of persecution.

"Being right doesn't matter? That's some scheme you have there." Yet it's the overwhelming opinion of many here. Just look at these comments. We're trying to do you a favor, man. Let me offer you the constructive criticism you didn't offer

I'd say it's more emblematic of the spirit of asshole pricks who think, because they know a better way, they have a right to be heard. Just ain't so, my friend. You could have the sweetest sort algorithm heretofore known only to the gods. B

Instead of attacking them with "smug pricks" and "complete ass", read their reasoning. I don't wanna. Because they're smug pricks. Next?

That's the most ridiculous ad hominem attack I've ever heard. "Your friend" should be ashamed. No one goes to pick up a new Mac Book because they feel Steve Jobs has punished them in some way. They do it because the machine has great de

Except, of course, that's not the official price. It's actually $300 with a $100 mail in rebate.

"If"? What, you think Apple's just going to close up shop? Move on to something different, maybe?

When it says "anecdotal" right in the article... There are no facts here. It's all just link bait and trolling.

Things' lack of reliable, convenient syncing killed it for me. OmniFocus, while not as sexy and certainly more complicated than Things, has rock solid syncing to your iPhone or Mac via MobileMe or any other webdav server you choose. And its
