I disagree with his point but to be fair, fragmede, that "sale by Apple" was a firesale. A company that raised $35.1 million in funding was sold for $17.

Like I said: The different sects will disagree on its implementation, style, enforcement, and other details...but the vast majority of Muslims will agree that it's not simply "again a traditional approach from a small sect in Islam"

I'll accept that there is no such thing as "the Islam" and that in practice it's a very diverse religion. But some traditions aren't simply "a traditional approach from a small sect in Islam" The Hijab (head scarves) is an Islamic requireme

chc makes a lot of sense and brings up a nice point (see below or above?) another thing I can think of is this. portrayals of muhammad to this day, compared with those of jesus and others, have been fairly limited. there are cathedrals, pai

Interesting. I would most definitely disagree with you there. They are most definitely a fringe group. I will maybe assume that the people in the group are either radical believers or brainwashed ignorant people, though. I'm originally Egyp

It's not simply about drawing pictures. In Islam, certain people are considered holy and revered. Before Islam, notable people in society would be drawn or portrayed after they die, and that would sometimes lead people to worship them or ra

From another viewpoint, it only seems to give events more exposure if you deal it with it this way. Take the Cartoons incident. It was a fairly small newspaper that wouldn't have been seen by tens of millions. In protesting over the Cartoon

As a Muslim, myself, I don't understand the stances these fringe groups take. Ultimately, we have two issues. Portrayal of the Prophet is a big big no no in our religion, yet Freedom of Speech/Expression is a pertinent human right in most o

Cheesy. But don't give up. Great coders will run into walls all the time. One of my favorite quotes is one by Randy Pausch (author of Last Lecture): "I believe brick walls are there for a reason. They're not there to keep us out. They are t

Seriously take this down. You're only showing us your immature behavior, not Jason's. If he wanted to take it down, it is his decision and his decision only.

The sad thing is that as innocent as this guy might be in this exchange, HR departments for the big companies (perhaps where he is going even) will not look at this posting of private emails post favorably. I stand with you though and hope

That will indue live up to the "earth shattering" promise. I think it might be one of the few, if not the only thing, that would live up to that.

How is iAd any different than any other ad agency out there? The truth is that it's not. Look at online ad agencies. I am or used to be a publisher with the top three Burst Media, Fastclick/ValueClick, and Tribal Fusion. Like any ad agency,

Completely agree. The question now is whether Apple will approve an iPad Kindle app or not.

Much better. Google Reader, for all its fame and popularity, really falls short in my eyes. It's painful to go from NetNewsWire on the Desktop to Google Reader online.

I recently sold my Kindle DX because I planned to get an iPad and I was sad that I couldn't read all the Amazon eBooks I bought. The first time I saw this headline, my reaction was: "Great! Yes! This is what I've been waiting for. Now I can

Apple has had a history of thinking it invented something (when it, itself, was inspired by another product) and believing they own it 100% A good example is Keynote. Sun/Lighthouse developed a great presentation app called Concurrence that

It's really a giant game of Chess, here. Apple can't possibly expect to win this lawsuit. Jonathan Swartz, former CEO of Sun, had an excellent blog post on the subject: http://jonathanischwartz.wordpress.com/2010/03/09/good-artis...

As a Mac user, I have Firefox, Chrome and Safari. Firefox is too packed. But, I use Safari and that's what I'm comfortable with. Yet, to this day I can't explain why Safari...
