A bit of confusion: when I said 'fast with the fire extinguisher', I wasn't talking about users but about Apple. Malware is only practical if you can infect hundreds if not thousands of machines. If Apple can effectively kill malware that i

The application sandbox should be considered like not storing credit card info on your system... you could do it but you open yourself to security problems. As a developer, you should opt into entitlements because it means that your applica

To give some context, Andrew Godwin is the guy behind the Django database migrations library South. This looks interesting and I'm excited to see what other gems they open-source. Some talks he's given: http://lanyrd.com/profile/andrewgodw

hmm. I use Sublime Text 2 every day and I don't think it's kitschy at all. I can't even imagine why you would put the word feature in quotes. It's one of my favorite features even after using it for months. It's like having all of the benef

One of the biggest impediments to wind power is the not-in-my-backyard criticisms that wind farms are ugly. This can only make wind power adoption worse. Luckily it is only a patent application so it's all just speculation.

Siri's personality does one thing Google Voice Actions doesn't: develop an emotional connection with the user. I fully expect Siri to impact the number of people switching to Android. It would be less like switching phones and more like fir
