You could say a lot of the same things about SharePoint. (I was never a fan, personally.) This seems like the natural progression of any CMS that tries to be infinitely extensible and flexible. It becomes very difficult to evolve or simplif

unfortunately, no carrier will do this. I suspect that this is because of administrative fees associated with simply allocating a phone number and the network overhead from having a device associate with cell towers when idle.

Decades from now, the story of IPv6 will be a cautionary tale about the danger of ignoring incentives when enhancing open standards. So much of the spec seems to have been designed in an idealist vacuum that the promoters are blind to its o

at this point, Apple would _pay you_ to use it if they thought it would help adoption. MapKit usage outside of iOS is a critical to the success of Apple Maps. long term, I wouldn't be surprised if maps.apple.com gained a web experience

I have started to think that parts of GDPR should have been restricted to large companies - e.g. anyone with more than 100k active users, data describing 100k individuals, or an organization employing more than 100 employees. That would see

It seems like a poor branding decision to name the app after the rather awkward domain name ("Hummi.nz"). As a mobile-first app, you aren't constrained by domain names, so you have better options.

Apple did not "disable" Cut. 1. Copy the source file with Cmd-C 2. Browse to the destination 3. Move with Cmd-Opt-V It's a UI design decision to avoid Cut in the filesystem. Cut would behave differently from Cut in every othe

They're recovering Magnetic Scrolls from some actual magnetic scrolls. There's something beautifully poetic there.

To evoke maximum outrage, you should show AdMob mobile banner ads on the Touch Bar. First app to do it wins a free press cycle.

Widevine (Google) and PlayReady (Microsoft) are the top EME DRM providers. Google and Microsoft are both on the EME working group. The critical question is whether rightsholders can use the DMCA (or local equivalent) to sue someone for circ

The key innovation in Windows Phone's "Continuum" feature is that the desktop is just another view into the phone. You can access the same exact apps and user data - browser, mail, calendar, messaging, etc. - and switch back

I'd really love it if you repeated the same tests for Bing, just to get coverage. (Yahoo/Baidu would be the other big two.) Historically, Bing hasn't used fully functional headless browsers to crawl, which has limited its

I understand that you can sniff IMSI without being a recognized carrier. But to actually get a cell phone to join your tower – don't you need the carrier's keys to be able to authenticate during the tower handshake? (iOS 5+ warn
