Hi, I'm not 100% on the encryption scheme BBM uses, but currently all communications for Flip, between the client and the server, are done over https (which was a pain in the arse to get approval for in the App Store). Also, every request f

Hi, I'm the author here. Just thought I'd give some background on the app, and also to listen to suggestions and feedback anyone may have I mainly wrote Flip out of my frustrations of using whatsapp (which somehow became the default mobile

It might just be a language barrier, but in advertising / marketing (and most design related companies) there's a job title called a Creative, which is someone who does the art / design work, as opposed to account management, finance, etc.

I disagree. If your team is senior enough, I think it is very important to give people delegated areas of responsibility. I've found people start to take pride in their work when this happens, because they know the buck now stops at them

I get the impression that Oracle's antics the last couple of months could have been moves done on behalf of Apple. It's no secret that Larry and Steve were good friends, and purchasing Sun, just so Oracle could sue Google seems like somethi

I always wondered about these arcane rules, where passwords are easy for computers to hack, but hard for humans to remember. See obligatory xkcd comic: http://xkcd.com/936/

This both saddens and delights me, as it proves that Macs are now at a large enough market share that malware writers are willing to target that platform ...

It's very interesting you should say that. As a programmer who's recently started learning UI design in my spare time (for an app I'm working on), I've found my experiences very similar to your own. I always thought requiring complete focu

Contrary to what people are saying I actually believe that a patent should be granted for the "pull to refresh" feature. The inventor obviously thought very deeply about the problem, and implemented an elegant, intuitive solution to solve i

I think it was more the fact that Tesla didn't tell their customers they had GPS tracking equipment fitted to their vehicles. If a service manager could access the location information I'd imagine quite a few other staff at Tesla could too

I'm surprised to see such a large chunk of Microsoft's revenue coming from "online services". Does anyone know what this is - surely it can't be from Bing? Also I've noticed that there's no segment in Apple's chart for App Store commission

I always thought this Windows text editor (which use to be one of my favourites) was very much akin to TextMate on the Mac, which started out strong with a great feature set, gained a cult following, and then languished over the years with

The thing about vi vs emacs is that at the very beginning the learning curve for vi is already very steep. Simple things like keyboard navigation and even editing are non-trivial tasks. This puts off a lot of people, especially if they're

I'm unsure why I was down voted for this. Was it because the down-voter didn't agree with my post (strange reason to down vote), or was it because it didn't contribute to the conversation (which I tried quite hard to do - by balancing both
