OpenStep is not a clone of NeXTstep, it was the application layer of NeXTstep ported to other kernels. GNUStep is a clone.

I have a Titanium Ridge, it is really nicely made, but I found it scratched my phone's screen.

As an Apple user, and former Apple engineer I disagree... I don't think one perfect solution exists, but I also don't think pushing a lot of decisions to the user is a good idea. The fallacy is thinking the goal is to provide a so

The issue is that things work totally differently. AirDrop for the Mac works via multi-association wifi, which takes a decent amount of power. That is less noticeable on a device with a large battery, and Apple designed the UI in such a way

That is a great example of why this idea is completely infeasible. You can't replace a small component to get NFC. NFC requires a large antenna (think roughly the size of a credit card). That has RF implications with other emitters ont

While there have been some tweaks around the edges in terms of congestion control and the like, the TCP wire format has not changed in over 25 years and it has very little to do with Windows. It has to do with the all the middle boxes and r

Another part of that deal was that the phones were unsubsidized, and the data plan was a lot cheaper than AT&T's other data plans ($20 for unlimited, everything else was $30 at the time). I am pretty sure that Apple sacrificed all of th

It is probably just the dumb luck of having started the same day as you and Maciej (and thus going through orientation at the same time), but it was completely obvious to me that you were building a browser team, at least once you stopped w

In the context of the story that is irrelevant, and it is actually not correct. Don Melton started at Apple in the summer of 2001 (the same day I did). At the time of this story they had already been working on Safari for over a year, the p

No she didn't. What she said is that the statements Samsung used in its motion were inadmissible. She did not express any opinion on whether those statements would have constituted jury misconduct if they were admissible. "In sum, the integ

To be pedantic, ObjFW is an alternative framework, not an alternative runtime. They do include a runtime for architectures that do not have a native ObjC runtime, but that runtime is API compatible with Apple's. Since they use the same comp

Have you ever worked at a company that develops compilers? Do you know anyone on the clang team at Apple? Do you know Douglas Gregor? dgregor is clearly heavily involved and the likely the principle architect of this proposal, but he did it

How would they do that? The data contained "Apple Device UDID, Apple Push Notification Service DevToken, Device Name, Device Type." None of those fields necessarily indicate who owns any of the devices.

None of their shipping products work with iOS, but you are correct that they demoed a product 6 months ago.

We would love to support Android, but two issues are currently preventing us from doing that: 1) A low percentage of currently shipping devices support Bluetooth low energy. We expect this to change in the future, but it's hard to explain t
