The article you linked to says bloggers are not journalists by default. However, it does seem to indicate that "online news reporters" are protected. I suspect Gizmodo would be viewed as an online news source.

We were told that third parties can't get any information from the social plugins. The data is served directly from Facebook using an iframe.

That's sort of beside the point. If people start freaking out about this, they aren't going to see that setting and say "Oh, I guess this is OK then". They're going to be angry that they were signed up for it in the first place without rea

This actually wasn't a surprise — I wrote about it a few weeks ago ( http://techcrunch.com/2010/03/27/facebook-privacy-connect/ ) and it was hinted at in Facebook's new Terms of Service. Facebook knows it could lead to some major backlash t

"The problem that this aims to fix is really a UI one, not a security one. If you know the user already uses Google accounts and Meebo, there is no need to over clutter your user interface with login buttons to 40 different social networks.

I suspect Apple's PR team plays a role in at least some of the email responses. The emails serve as a channel that's 'official' enough for people to take it seriously, without Apple having to bother with making an official announcement or

And don't forget a contact Email if you want press. Phone numbers are great too (perhaps consider one of those Google Voice widgets if you are hesitant to put your number on the web). Oh, and if you don't want your logo butchered it's alwa

Good idea, not-so-great execution. I think this would have been better if the author wrote in a more serious tone. I think the point is that if you want to, you can probably conjure a logical-sounding, professional explanation for just abou

Foursquare's game mechanics do get old, and they really haven't done much to change them since launch. I started playing Foursquare in March '09, was sick of the badges a month or two later, and haven't cared to check in much since. Granted

They don't have it pre-installed, but as soon as you open the App Store for the first time you get a system alert message prompting you to download iBooks.

"Finally, there’s the issue of the App Store. I’m on the fence about it. My hunch is that Apple should follow Palm’s lead and allow users to install applications from the web, albeit after prompting for the user’s consent and warning again

FYI, that Zynga/FB dating thing was a joke ;-). I'm sure many of you frown on April Fools day, but I enjoy getting the chance to show off my sense of humor (or lack thereof) once in a while: http://techcrunch.com/2010/04/01/facebook-to-lau

Stores will still have extra stock for people who didn't reserve one (just called Apple Store SF, though they didn't know how many they'd have). Also, Best Buy is apparently going to be selling them on launch day, though that isn't confirme

Pretty sure they'd be happy to send him ten if he wanted them. Sounds like he's in it for the fun of the launch.

I think that the iPad and similar devices down the road really could change everything as far as print and multimedia consumption is concerned. But it's going to take a long time (years, perhaps) until these publishers are producing content

I don't think there was. And Line2 was approved quite a while ago.

by jkincaid 17y ago
For those of you wondering if Apple is going to remove this from the App Store: they almost certainly won't. Line2 was first submitted to the App Store in August 2009, which was really bad timing because it was in the middle of the Apple/Go

"The sheer amount of content that apple has sold through iTunes would surely suggest that moving to another platform would be a major barrier to transferring to another service." That will not continue to be true for long. The future of med

Here's the comment Mozilla gave to me: "Mozilla is now aware of a post by MetaLabs that shows a Mozilla developer copying prior design work. The mockups they cite were an early proof of concept created by cut-and-paste, never final designs.

Anyone with knowledge of the current generation of video cards know how recent models of iMacs and Macbook Pros will perform (assuming performance of Steam on Mac is comparable to its Windows counterpart). I tried checking out the video car

Sure. But none of them support the applications these developers have already built. It's one thing for Apple to set guidelines on what it's going to allow in the store. It's another thing entirely for it to not set guidelines, but instea

You can't judge how responsive it is based on the ad — Apple sometimes speeds up the performance of their apps/devices for commercials. This was especially obvious on the iPhone ads before the 3GS (and I believe they even added a small disc

I believe that Apple 'declared war' first, when it began rejecting Google's iPhone applications last summer. First it rejected Latitude, then it rejected Google Voice, which is when things really started to get nasty. Google has been sligh

Sort of neat, but this is from September 2008. The author's conclusion that this was a "good omen" was a little off the mark — many developers can't get anyone to answer their questions, much less Apple's CEO.

Just as an anecdote, I took a class on human sexual evolution about four years ago. Our professor said he was so convinced that this phenomenon was real that when his daughter got engaged, he convinced her to go off the pill for a month to

It's not that big an if — I'd be very surprised if odor played an insignificant role in attraction, especially given how important odors and pheromones are in other organisms. See http://www.ejog.org/article/S0301-2115(04)00474-9/abstract

In-N-Out Burger might be a good fast-food equivalent to Apple. I have no idea if they focus test any of their food but they've had the same menu for ages. They do a few things very well, and there's also a mystique about the company.

Years ago I ran a small computer class at a retirement community. Every week there would be four or five "students" who showed up (usually the same ones every time). They were all very bright and funny, and I enjoyed every minute of it, e
