So you want it to run per-request like PHP?

I noticed that too. I'm not sure if there's a better way to do it or not; as a piano player myself, it might seem more intuitive to me to have a visual indicator at each beat in the measure, and then just highlight each note (via color or s

A question I've been meaning to ask but didn't want to make a completely new post about it: If you could write a server (not a plain HTTP webapp necessarily) in Clojure, Python, or Node.JS, provided you know all three, which would you choos

People can't even type "facebook.com" into their address bar. They aren't going to read a 3-page in-depth explanation of Facebook's privacy settings.

If there was a decent competitor to Facebook who had a lot of uptake (or even a more "open" networking system), now would be a good time to take advantage of all of Facebook's negative publicity. Right now I don't see anything good enough t

Yeah. Even if scrolling is laggy, it's arguably better than having to click "next" for every page.

Performance is generally much slower. This isn't a problem for most apps, but it is for CPU-intensive apps. That includes anything with substantial rendering or computation. The latest HTML5 features like local storage, sockets, and cross-w

What about the situations where you have two different companies operating in two different industries with the same trademark? Apple Records v. Apple Computer?

by mcav 16y ago
I was under the impression that it was good practice to use those marks, primarily to make sure people know you're presenting a trademark (registered or not). Obviously Google's big enough to not need that. Legal hounds: Is there a time w

It's like the App Store. Things get disapproved occasionally for unknown reasons. Like the App Store, most posts make it through, but some submissions are rejected while other similar submissions do not.

If, by practical, you're referring to people who are willing to carry a Kindle along with their iPad too. By itself, reading on the Kindle is likely superior, but I've had no problem with eyestrain reading on the iPad.

Third party apps can access the network too. So they'd have to distinguish between traffic generated tethered from traffic sent in 3rd-party app store apps.

That doesn't really say much about Amazon. Those same 1 million people may not have bought any more on the Kindle App than iBooks. We won't know unless Amazon releases the number of books bought from the iPad.

I find it more and more difficult to believe that AT&T would be able to tell the difference without looking deeply at the traffic; the iPad loads full web pages and videos, so they probably couldn't tell from bandwidth alone.

For those of you who jailbreak often: What do you most use the jailbreak for? Any specific apps? I've jailbroken a few times but haven't found much to do once it's jailbroken.

I've heard discussion that it wouldn't be publishing trade secrets since the phone was left (albeit inadvertantly) in a public place.

I wouldn't describe the flash IDE as fantastic . The only reason it's passable is because it's really the only game in town. It's slow, its UI could use a lot of cleanup, and its code editor is particularly slow and lacking features (as co

My startup is about online games... the more Apple delves into this (GameKit), the more I feel pulled toward developing for the iPad vs the web. Any thoughts? Is the iPad filled with more potential than the web for casual card/board games?
