Yes, it's also ridiculously difficult to get working. I'm not entirely convinced it's possible to get it to work anymore without some serious hacking; and OS X doesn't include it in their dev package.

It turns out the setting to disable statistics is a bit tricky to get to. On the latest version of iOS, I found it at Settings>General>About>Diagnostics & Usage.

Just wondering: if I paid the $99 bucks to become an Apple Developer, could I write and then self-sign a tethering app that would run on my phone (without jail breaking)?

I'll try the devkit. Right now, I do see two mounted devices (phone and sd).

It's not a terrible idea, but our Public university system is crumbling on 3 billion a year and Brown wants to invest 98 billion (an average of roughly 4.6 billion a year) on a train. Sounds like a bad long term strategy to me. Then again,

Cool, but why can't I see this hierarchy when I plug my HTC Droid into my Mac? I certainly don't see a /data/data directory, even with ls -a. Do I have to root the thing?

While Jobs didn't have any direct control over the biography, he did spend hundreds of hours with Isaacson and certainly would have mentioned things that he would have wanted in the book, technical and otherwise; and Isaacson certainly woul

Looks like guzzoni.apple.com is named after Didier Guzzoni ( http://www.ai.sri.com/~guzzoni/ ), an employee at SRI. He's also listed on an interesting Apple patent that was only filed a few weeks ago, "INTELLIGENT AUTOMATED ASSISTANT"( http

I thought the most fascinating thing was the strong and effective language regarding foreign affairs (i.e. the article about China): "The sun set upon a scene of fire, rapine, desolation, and butchery unrecorded in modern history", "Innocen

Another very good essay, quite cognate. "Lost in the Meritocracy," http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2005/01/lost-in-... , by Walter Kirn a few years back.

I like this technology, but it's really a rare occasion that I've taken an out-of-focus photo. In fact, I can hardly think of one out of nearly a thousand pictures I've taken the last year, except for a few where I've used manual focus. Are

I found the article to be really flimsy. What about costs associated with Apple buying tons of servers the last few years (for iTunes, for iCloud)?

What if lots of critical cells (e.g. bone stem cells, brain cells) are infected? Wouldn't it be better for the body to fight the virus rather than killing those cells?

If I remember correctly, it took forever for Adobe to port to OS X in the first place, and even then, they were running on Carbon for much longer than a lot of other major apps. It sounds like they have a really hard time letting go of lega

This has to do with the way that the way the algorithm works. When you click like, you like a page. Then, a server-side script on webperflab's server contacts Facebook's opengraph, gets a list of users, looks up information on the last user
