I would disclose to a security firm that I felt was trustworthy and let things go from there.

Why so? It's the biggest company in the world, or at least it is sometimes. Apple's a big deal, in a bunch of ways. And most of the tech press is clueless about them.

Sure, and you can cure a rash on your arm by cutting the arm off.

It doesn't strike me as ridiculous to make a server-side Javascript framework. I'm not interested in Node because from code examples I've seen, its programming model seems to make doing even simple things quite complex. I really like Javasc

Correct, Android is more of a meta-platform, a platform for building platforms, than a single platform itself.

That's actually not very interesting. He was talking about hyphens, but calling them dashes, because normal people do that unless they are talking about typography.

That's more credit than I personally am willing to give the head of a cable company at this point. If they constantly act like they have no idea what is going on, perhaps indeed they don't.

All these shitheel sites do the same thing. BusinessInsider often doesn't even do the work of lightly rewriting paragraphs, they just rip content off wholesale. It's a dirty game, but I dunno if much can be done to stop it. The CEO's reacti

Apple has already made a SIM-less iPhone before, for Verizon. But whatever, I'm sure that doesn't fit in with this goofball's doomsaying. What a shitty piece of FUD.

Wait, why is finding a bear in the woods the hard part? It's the woods, it has bears in it. The hard part would be actually killing it, and then all the skinning and dressing.

I see this a lot. Devs decide to stop using something because they don't like the interface it presents to developers, but fail to seriously (seriously, seriously) consider how its replacement will run in reality. That is, they like the ide

We use SCSS where I work. If you're thinking about starting with it, I'd advise against that because the sass binary causes me a lot of problems. I like the language and the concept is good, but the implementation is a constant thorn in my

I have read before that FB does not make any meaningful revenue from its mobile users. But, Instagram does not generate any revenue either.

Interesting usage of the word "solved", there.

> This, and comments like "The site happening to work" seem to have an underlying prejudice about IE. "It was IE, so it must be fucked some way or another." If it's my comment you're referring to, I said it "happens" to work in IE becau

No, it's not irrelevant. Someday the site will change in a way such that it no longer happens to work in IE. But since they don't support IE, it won't be a bug. Support is a commitment to people, not a mere technical hurdle.

The site happening to work is not the same thing as support. Trust me.

That's true, you only need to be right once. But you may end up being right zero times.

That sounds terrible! If working for Apple really is that bad, I would expect a huge portion of their employees to quit, and soon. Especially the ones who are highly valued in the industry and could get another job right away -- those folks

> they can make a great product anywhere, why with Apple? I bet a lot of them would disagree with your premise. You can't just make a great product anywhere, a lot of things need to be in place for that to happen.

Except Apple doesn't just talk about quality.

The parts of this that aren't about XML are stupid as hell.

Yeah, or maybe the backdoor "accidentally" has a lot of null-reference bugs and other crappiness. It isn't adding business value in the first place, why try to make it any good.

How many times have we heard that the next Android phone is the real iPhone killer, for real this time, really seriously for real this time? Come on. What does "out-iPhoning" Apple even mean ? Pundits. Grr.

What is there to say, really? As the article points out, the RIAA has a serious amount of influence on the government, and they can do whatever they want.

I can't believe how far that guy has gotten simply by being a boil on the ass of the tech industry.

Ha, I love the HN reaction to this. Sperging out about Instagram getting photos they're "not supposed to", fake outrage about fake privacy breaches, all while blatantly ignoring this fact. And of course, I'm sure all this fake outrage has n

Right. I like the quote in the article "Oh, then I guess you don't want it that bad." Well, maybe you shouldn't want it that bad!

If you want to pay to improve your piracy experience, Usenet is the way to go. For about $20 a month you can get unlimited downloads of whatever, as fast as your home connection can handle, non-peer-to-peer. It's not as general a solution a
