Well, I'd imagine they still can't sell it in the app, because the agency model means that they have to pay out 70% of the sale price to the publisher. After Apple's 30% cut, that leaves nothing for them. However, it seems as though Apple's

I would really love to know how big Apple's approval team is. It's mind boggling to think that at least one person personally test each and every one of those 400,000 apps.

It seems pretty goofy to solve this through a law. If a streaming service needs to limit this sort of thing, just limit how many concurrent streams a user can have.

I'm pretty sure Hidden recommends that you create a guest account, so that the thief has an account to use.

I think the idea is fetch.io will compress the video for you for streaming, so you don't need to download the full, uncompressed version.

Yup--my camera (Canon 60D) was listed, but when I used a photo that had been exported with Lightroom, it couldn't read the serial number. Only when I gave an original JPEG did it have any success, and it didn't end up finding any photos, si

The weirdest thing to me about this Kindle is the price point--why not drop another $15 and make it $99? At $114, it just doesn't seem very appealing, but I feel like they could sell a ton of them advertising it as "under $100".

As they mentioned in the post, Urban Airship costs money (after the first million messages per month). Also, they'd need to build the infrastructure to poll the Twitter API for updates and push them to Urban Airship--definitely not trivial.

If anyone's wondering, Präservativ means "condom" in German. My favorite false cognate in German is "das Gift", which in English is in fact "poison".

I buy shoes and clothing from Zappos all the time, because of their very lenient return policies. If I'm not sure what size or style to get, I'll just buy a few different combinations, try them on in the privacy of my apartment, and then re

However, one the great parts of Dropbox is that you don't have to pull new changes--they're automatically updated on your computer as soon as someone else changes a file. With Git, you'd have to remember to keep pulling the new information

Talking to a co-worker, who used to work in customer service at a different US wireless carrier, this is common practice. His example was customers who use terabytes of data a month would get throttled for the remainder of the period, simil

The thing is though, car manufacturers only update their cars once a year, and for the most part, they keep the same models, just with small updates. Verizon might be getting a brand new Android phone every month and retiring old ones just

There are large CDMA networks in China, not sure whether or not they're compatible with Verizon's (though I would guess they are).

FWIW, I've had the wrong apps launch on my phone as well. I'll click an icon and something else will come up. So, I'll just assume I fat fingered it and go back to the home screen, but when I press it again, the same thing comes back up. It

I've had a similar experience with my Droid (as has my girlfriend). It's super flaky, and it feels like it has gotten worse over time, rather than better. Whether it's the hardware or Android, I'm not sure, but what I am sure of is that I w

I think the general theory on Venus is that there was an impact with another body that caused it to start rotating the other way, albeit weakly. Interestingly enough, astronomy textbooks don't usually refer to Venus as rotating the other wa

This is a pretty good point. Russell Brice, the owner of one of the largest Everest companies and the main person in Discovery's Everest series, has never had a client die on one of his expeditions, and he's had something like 200 people cl
