Whoa. This is fascinating. Also, the existence of XDR was also fascinating to me. Did vinyl ever have such a calibration equivalent?

The ‘lesser extent’ must be in exponential. I’ve never heard of either of those things, and am a regular casual drinker - however the ritual around Corona is almost half the drinking experience. I can’t think of another brand that has quite

They explicitly disobeyed Apple’s legal rules; got removed just like any other developer who does, and sued them in response. It doesn’t require the judge to have a lot of tech knowledge to roll their eyes at this obvious trolling. If you w

tbh as much as I’d love to tell myself it isn’t - and I use my iOS (and now WatchOS) dev career to justify it - but the Apple Watch kind of fits neatly for me in this would-be category. It’s more cool and interesting than it is functional.

I believe it doesn't uphold the 'spirit' of the law. It's sneaky/sneaking. They could've had a discussion with Apple, or gone to court about it; ahead of time. What they did was sneaking around; plain and simpl

This reminds me of the days in high school of compressing the hell out of my MP3's to 64kbps or such just to fit as many on my 64(?)MB generic MP3 player at the time. What an adorable project.

Smart drug dealers, like smart prostitues, generally make a ton of money in a short time, 4-5 years, and get the hell out while they can and invest in something. I know a handful of people who have been hugely successful at doing both.
