That analysis looks wrong to me -- Adam Engst claims that the developers can't settle with Lodsys because it would "affect Apple's rights or bind Apple in any way". That's wrong. Lodsys isn't claiming anything against Apple's rights -- they

I like your site, but I'm unsure how this would be better than simply using the built-in VPN stuff. I have paid VPN account configured and I use it when on public wifi. Also, I can share my VPN account with my mobile devices -- can I do thi

This was already public knowledge. See this article about Apple dropping Skyhook for its own thing: http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2010/08/04/apple-drops... "Apple apparently has its own Wi-Fi location information, presumably culle

Ever go up in a tall building? Your phone sees more towers. But actually, we don't know that "towers my phone sees" is the actual mechanism here. Apple hasn't explained the algorithm they use to determine what location data to send to the p

The article focuses on two cities that bought out their failing local providers. Considering that they were failing, it's probably no surprise that city managers with no experience in that business can't run them any better. The article com

We use Opacity for everything, everything. It's fucking fantastic. I'm torn between telling everyone how great it is, and trying to keep it my secret to give me a competitive edge. Way worth it for the expensive version. Integrate it with X

iOS doesn't allow writable pages to be executed. As I recall that was one reason why Android 2.2's V8 javascript JIT was so much faster than iOS's. Also, use of dlopen() is not allowed. A long time ago I heard of two AR apps that used it (t

"Not only does this new technique perform better, but by using this method to reference images, the OS has the option of purging image data from memory and reconstituting it directly from the file on an as-needed basis." Luckily, that's an

Wrap the line of code inside the loop inside another function, which will have the effect of binding the iterator i to the desired value before the event handler anonymous function is created.

It reorders the bytes of the image from RGBA to BGRA, which is the natural byte order used by the GPU (other byte orders are supported, but have to get swapped when loaded). Also, it premultiplies each color channel by the alpha channel. So

I know this won't be popular, but the idea of "backups" has always struck me as a lame attempt by rich people (Retailers) to get more money from poor people. So I roll my eyes whenever a guy who sells hard drives and RAIDs is telling me I n

First of all, when they come and offer you a pile of money (and they will), please insist on a clause that they release it. Someone may try to bury it. Anyway, I had fun playing with it. The timeline gives me happy/terrifying Director/Flash
