I'm looking forward to seeing how these devices play in real world usage. The two things that jump out at me immediately. 1. Most important: On a device with a small screen pixels should be precious. It worries me that many of the built in

I'd just add that c teaches you about pointers and how objects are stored in memory which is useful in whatever language you end up using.

Does that mean that warrant was badly issued? Seems like it just means he gets his stuff back but that it is still valid evidence in the case. Any lawyer able to clarify?

Is it? When you are selling services for enterprises, shouldn't your focus still be on making those businesses happy? I've never been in such a market, so maybe I don't know, but it seems to me like your focus should be similar.

This is the norm with all web applications. The frequency of regressions will depend on a lot of factors. One of the reasons I think this works well for web apps is that the deployment environment is exceptionally consistent and stable when

Wikipedia doesn't mention The Magus in it's description of The Game. Was it an influence? It is a fantastic novel.

I do think that Motorola has gone too far in this, they shouldn't be designing their phone to break when you mess with it. But you bring up an important point. Many (if not most due to scale) of the people who are rooting their phones are n

I wouldn't say Gruber "stake[d] his reputation" on the number. Here is what he said: > I can’t vouch for the following, but a well-placed little birdie told me over the weekend that they sold a grand total of 503 Kins before they pulled

It is really interesting to read the responses to this piece. I was surprised to find many people saying that if they followed Derek's advice it would harm their self-esteem. Assuming that others possess more skill than you does not diminis

Crunchgear deliberately left out the context for the email exchange. http://www.edibleapple.com/steve-jobs-relax-it-is-just-a-pho... gives the comment some perspective.

ola is the best professor I had at college, period. He teaches data structures, (the second cs class in the curriculum) and does a fantastic job of getting everyone excited. He has another great paper on why bubble sort should never be taug

After you did this on an iPhone or iPod touch, did it then sync over to your iPad? Obviously, you can't do this on an iPad directly.

It's easy to miss, but this talk is given by a Flickr engineer and is how they deploy their code. Pretty big recommendation.

Commenting on someone's site using a different name is pretty different from being able to fake a post. I have no expectation that comments are written by who they say they are, but I do expect all the posts to be written by the same person

I agree. I see two other big differences between now and the PC OS battle of old. First, compatibility problems were a much bigger deal 20 years ago than they are today. If you and the person you wanted to share information with weren't bot

Not sure I buy his point about how engineers and other professionals are the only ones who manage complexity. I have never taken a poly-sci class before, but my guess is that the whole point is to work to reduce the enormous complexity of d

off-topic: I disagree completely. I am crazy about the panic blog, I think it looks great. The promise of html5 is that it allows you to be more creative in what your website looks like. That kind of a layout, with a curled page and drop sh

The whole point of this phrase is to give us pause as we consider how to use these massive powers. We clearly have the ability to effect these changes, but your seeming confidence in our ability to easily solve massive problems only reinfor

Yes, everything is always changing. Yes, we have changed the environment we live in for a long time. But in the last hundred years the scale of those changes has increased dramatically. I'm not trying to argue that evolution had brought us

But to regard hubris as “playing God” is, first, a modern perspective, and second, a secular one. This seems true; the "God" invoked in this phrase is not the religious God but more the God represented by nature and that sense of the natu

I'm genuinely confused as to why launchd isn't part of this conversation. It is definitely a replacement for cron (and init) and seems to be a pretty good one. I haven't done an extensive comparison between it and cron, but it has definitel

As the author points out, years of gmail archives create a very high switching cost for moving to another email provider. Not to mention the fact that setting up an infinite email forward is an imperfect solution to the problem. It would be
