Perhaps because HD got railroaded by the TV people and now it's commonly taken to mean 1920x1080 rather than a DPI measurement? Also, your "more technical" definition is off by a long shot; people have been using 100-125 DPI screens for yea

+1, although we use "git fetch origin && git rebase -p origin/branchname" to avoid the nasty behaviour of 'git pull --rebase' where it rewrite all commits of a merged branch on the current branch instead of just redoing the merge co

"Sucking the profit" out of an industry is something that happens when you're undercutting everyone on price, driving prices down and reducing overall profits. Apple products arent exactly known for being cheap, so i think it's a stretch to

There are actually two dates associated with each commit. I cat recall the names for them off he top of my head but they're basically created_at and modified_at, and the modified_at ones will be chronological after a rebase.

"Now these content creators have to worry about their clients on Linux platform." The sort of content creators who care about this (ie good ones) already had to worry about the tens of millions of ios devices out there. Linux is barely a bl

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. Comparing reading a dictionary definition to an encyclopedia entry, and complaining that the encyclopedia had more detail? Perhaps it'd be a fairer comparison if you compared reading the first

Not having automated test covering a piece of code does not imply that it's untested at the time it's written, but it sure as hell implies that it's not getting tested when seemingly unrelated feature X gets refactored and unknowingly break

You sound like someone who's never dealt with a blackspot on their credit history (as an aside, never leave bills in your name when you move out, trusting your ex-housemates not to be douchebags). It's not about not being able to borrow, it

Too bad for IE users. They've said they're redoing it to given users of modern browsers the best experience, and if you use a crap browser you just get full page loads. /#!'s are getting kicked to the curb

It's shocking that the USA is so far behind in this respect. Here in Australia we are probably 10 years from getting anything like square, but we've had simple bank to bank transfers between individuals for as long as I can remember. I'm al

As a counterpoint, I find myself thoroughly drained after any meeting that goes for an hour or more. Put me in a two hour meeting first thing in the morning and I'm not going to produce anything useful that day; I'll pretty much be zombifie

I think you missed it. Mike said he ran PAX, the guy didn't recognize the name and started tying to name drop and claiming he'd get a booth if he wanted one. When the penny dropped that mike == gabe, and there's no way they'll be at PAX if

Maybe because they struggled to run iOS 4 usably? Can you name a handset that received official software updates for longer than the iPhone 3G? Seems odd to attack what is probably the longest officially supported phone yet... Sounds like a

If I read that without having read the original my eyes would glaze over with buzzword overload. So much lost information in the "generic" (or more correctly, vague) form. This is the sort of stuff I'd expect in a sales pitch, where I'm bar

Maybe not "as it comes" but even if you dont have iBooks, the "Open in.." menu will show any app that support the filetype. I can open pdf email attachments in iBooks, GoodReader, Dropbox or TabToolKit.

Take a step back from being the author of this article, take a deep breath, and read through the whole of this comments page and try to get a feeling for the big picture. From an non-vested point of view, I see an article presenting a point
