Apple doesn't add buttons. It only removes them.

"why can't I write web software in Python for the iPhone and iPad?" Ummm... you can. If you write 'web software' in Python, all an iPhone/iPad user needs in order to use it is the URL. Both devices have a best-in-class web browser that woul

Things on the desktop and the iPhone. If you buy into the GTD system, I'd recommend it. The iPhone app syncs via WiFi to the desktop app whenever you're connected to the same network (I'm hoping syncing via the 'cloud' is coming soon). Ubiq

The Kindle version is excellent, the pictures are crisp, no special layout.

This is from May, and 37signals just made a fairly large change to their authentication system (I think its called Launchpad). Their password recovery system now works differently than described in this post, so I doubt they're still storin

I'm in my final year of CS undergrad, and I've learned a couple of things outside of class that help me, all stuff I wish they would teach (well) in class: * Learn how to write a Makefile, your builds should be one button/command away * Lea

Might be a great time to buy Garmin stock. I bought a GPS unit for my parents, because my parents can actually use it (and they do). The same can't be said for an Android cell phone. I don't think the Android announcement is as much of a th

I haven't been able to find the part in the article or RMS's quote that states Apple went after him for this particular "truth". Do you have any evidence there is such a backdoor in Mac OS X?

I've been a Quicksilver user for a couple of years, but after upgrading to Snow Leopard I've been trying out Launchbar. I must say that I like it much, much better. It is far more stable and responsive. Also, it is much easier to configure

Github takes the cake for me. It makes reading and finding code a breeze, and for the relatively unexperienced (like me), it has dramatically lowered the barrier to entry for OSS. A Facebook for hackers, I love it.

I apologize for the last sentence in my comment there. It's unnecessarily inflammatory. The problem with your 'bad product' argument is that Windows is Microsoft's bread and butter. As Gruber pointed out, "Windows is at the core of everythi

You are wrong to call this propaganda. The core of Gruber's argument is that Apple's market share (not Google's) is growing quickly, whereas Microsoft's is falling. Gruber also acknowledges that the numbers don't take into account the whole
