TL;DR: github makes it easy to notice when events have occured, so easy that you can write tools to copy information as soon as it hits. This is a bit more nuanced than your summary because GH makes it easy. Without the events API, you wou

As an example, consider a video player with a codec plugin system. The player ships with a noop plugin, a proprietary plugin for MPEG-1 video, and a general plugin that leverages GPL code. It is my understanding that the video player can

I think you misunderstand the point of most of those comments. Numbers and Google Sheets for iPad have been available for months, so Microsoft's offering has to demonstrate value above and beyond those. Unfortunately, the 2014 offeri

Excel for OSX is far behind Excel for Windows. Given that Excel 2008 didn't even have support for VBA, I daresay that Excel for Mac is neglected.
