I was looking for extra information so I entered my email into the field. Figured they'd sign me up for a mailing list like what all the sites out there do. I was surprised to see it say "Thanks, expect an email from us first thin

If the office is within walking distance of MUNI rail stops, you can expand your search to more inexpensive areas of the city (like Outer Sunset). If within walking distance of BART, you can expand to even more affordable areas in the East

"If you’re using Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux Mint we need to support Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux Mint. If you’re using an iPad or a Galaxy Note we need to give you a long, hard, nonplussed stare and think about supporting IOS and Andr

http://pastebin.com/ktukPBHE I reformatted it so it would justify right like the original but for some reason Pastebin likes to reflow things. It turns out the single-character tokens 'u' and 'w' were no

#define op operator #define rt return Then replacing the corresponding inline tokens shaves off another 25 bytes from the source without affecting the output or (arguably) the readability. Sorry, my inner obfuscator couldn't resist :-)

That's actually what I meant by navigating links. Each page would load fresh content that might have plugins that require services not authorized in the main app. For example, any typical RSS reader, alternative email clients, specialized b

This brings up an important issue. If an app uses an embedded webview and the user can navigate down links would the developer have to check off every entitlement that the webview might in the future need to access?

Just to offer a counter-anecdote, I've personally worked on two mobile projects that were outsourced overseas and came back completely botched. They had to be scrapped and started from scratch. The main issue was communication and being abl

Just a heads-up. If you had the iPhone version already installed on an iPad and do an update you'll get the new universal version. That one is pretty crashy right at the startup screen. Deleting and reinstalling it from scratch seems to sol

I would add Falcon ( http://falconpl.org/ ) to the list. It's a pretty capable language, but for some reason nobody's heard of it.

Completely agree with the "giant time-slurping vortex" part :-) In the mobile world the {product}app.com convention is pretty prevalent and has opened up some choices. You could always start a new convention for web-based products. I person

If you cast the app universe as 'open' vs' 'closed' as some have tried to do or 'free' vs. 'controlled,' then yes, of course, open and free are better. But there are a few other ways to look at it: - Chaotic vs. orderly. - A pile of laundry

Just installed it under Parallels 7 under Lion on a MBPro. Installed OK, logged in and explored a bit. Performance was decent, but the Mac trackpad gestures are not relayed to the OS. After installing Parallels tools and running one of the

Nice overview. I have to disagree with the assessment of Eclipse though. Under one app you can build and debug Java, Python, Ruby, HTML, Javascript, and Air apps. Once you get used to the workflow, it's incredibly productive. As for the emu

A couple months ago I ended up spending good money on iStockPhoto looking for the right kitten picture to put in my app's 404 page. If only I had waited.

No big surprise. It only took a few hours for the first Google I/O ticket scalper to surface on CraigsList. And what a deal. Only asking for $5K !!! http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/for/2202131748.html

Favorite line: "... This is just the first in a long string of rejections I have planned." This is going on my wall of inspiring quotes.

Nice way to cross over from illustration to code. Though personally I prefer Opacity since it supports generating drawing code for Quartz, Cocoa, Cocoa Touch, as well as Canvas.

Godfather walks into the Grocer's and demands they buy their deli meats from him. Grocer says "No thanks, I'm getting my meat free from those other guys. My customers are happy too." Godfather says, "Yes, but not buying from me might expose

I've always thought of YC as more of an incubator for young 20-somethings trying to get an idea off the ground. The impression has been fortified by the reported small amounts of 'seed' that is given out. I know a lot of people in older ag
