I think most people won't care. They want the shiny. If political satire is missing, most people won't miss it or even notice, they'll be too busy laughing at their cat batting games on their iPad. The same for other political commentary, o

So if his cartoons are bought by a newspaper that has an app, will those issues carrying his cartoons be rejected? Would a news article about his Pulitzer, showing off one of the cartoons, be rejected? It's interesting that civil rights, li

Why do they need to outlast countries? At that point the only relationship between University("today") and University("100 years ago") is the bricks in the building. None of the professors or students that made a university whatever it was

My dad was in the Army most of his adult life. I was in the Navy six years. We moved. I moved. We lived on and off base, mostly off. I lived on and off ship, mostly off. My mom had a few odd jobs off base but mostly didn't work. My (ex) wif

Might be simpler to just print directly from a map or sat view on to a store-bought envelope, using your printer's Envelope paper source.

A lot harder than just pulling the plug and forcing the devs to do the work of investigation/guessing and reinstatement.

I was just explaining to my kid how you can tell your latitude from the sun's angle at noon, if you know the day. This picture solidified that idea.

In my part of around here, stations near the freeway are more expensive than stations farther from, and stations closer to the center of Big Town are more expensive than stations farther from. So you let those two forces push you to cheaper

I realise comparisons with 1984, and Apple's 1984 commercial, are fairly obvious, but with Apple's recent "must be written in" developer rules, they're now extending their ownership and control into the words you can use (as a developer).

Maybe $800 is the "non-discount" amount. If you follow whatever terms, you get the discount. If you don't follow the terms (like, not paying), they charge you the non-discount.

We know they're bad because they're unknown. If there would be no significant protest, mostly passive buy-in, then there'd be no reason to keep it secret. All dark rocks hide cock roaches.

A six year old (or twenty two year old) doesn't have sixty years of accumulated observation of human nature and the intuition that comes from that.

All replies to the parent are interesting speculation as to whether the author was screaming at, into or under the water, and what the water was for. The key thing to notice, though, is that the author screamed. I have screamed, and life is

So why doesn't Adobe just add a feature to their tool, that will take an app originally written for the iPhone in Jobs-approved languages, suck that source up and produce either source for Adobe's tools or source directly for other phones?

Hmmm ... interesting point. Maybe it's: if you're not eating a total (ancient) Inuit diet, then fruits and vegetables combined with the relatively small amounts of protein and fats most other peoples eat is necessary ... Hmmm

However, eating fruits and vegetables is still necessary for proper bodily function and general health. There is no better reason to eat fruits and vegetables than this. Cancer fighting is a sideshow, although an important one. There is als

It's an obviously complicated question. Men and women are different. They are, and there's nothing wrong with that. Different people fall at different points along their stereotype lines. Where the difference can lead to conflict is when pe

Apple can do what they want, it's their game and anyone who's let in has agreed to the rules. But you have to wonder why you would want in at all, if your apps are going to be competitionally crippled against Apple's apps. Illegal to use na

Interesting point. I do sometimes think of rich people in some sort of un-reality. Reality is what you see in front of you. Thanks for pointing that out.

I try to remember that I am in fact rich compared to the rest of the world, no matter how good or bad things may get from day to day. I am, for example, very happy that I can get a drink of clean, safe water whenever I want. I am very happy
