What does that have to do with Apple?

There would have been no Apple for Woz to kick anyone out of if it wasn't for Jobs. They needed each other, that's why they split the company 50/50.

Not at all! Sandboxing brings with it XPC, which is an IPC framework for doing very fast and awesome message passing. It's got some great features for separation of privileges. For instance, you might have an XPC sandboxed process for, say,

If the US does take him from Sweden, then it will only serve as huge negative PR against them, and call into question the motives of the UK courts. The backlash could be huge.

As someone who's just had their app approved this very day, Apple don't force their EULA on you. There's a box where you can paste in your own EULA during the upload process.

> Any man heading the company that has a product to sell can do what he did. I disagree. If the CEO is not a part of the equation, then either the engineers and designers at Apple just somehow randomly turned out to be just better than

Seems like a weak attempt to take some of the stardom away from Instagram.

Go doesn't really have pointers in the same manner as C, though, does it? As was as I was aware, you can only have a pointer to an actual object.

I've met Michael Clear a few times, being in the same University as him and generally hanging around with the same crowd of people. As much as I would love to believe this conspiracy, and would suddenly make my pub meetings with his researc

I'd say that iTunes killed itself in the debugger because the music industry didn't want you to see what their DRM does. :/

While I think the new Metro UI is very pretty, and potentially might turn out to be a good contender in the tablet space, I'm skeptical that their plans for a dual system like this will work. I'm reminded by the interviews with the original

I honestly believe that people who can't figure their way around wget, tar, chmod, etc have no business trying to install and administer Wordpress or PHPBB or any of the other common web apps. They are too often attacked and exploited, that

I don't think I've ever seen Apple gloat about software patents. They mostly talk about hardware patents, things like the MagSafe connector, which is a really good invention and they deserve to keep the credit for inventing it. Their softwa

I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but really anyone who wants to get into this game has to play by the rules. Even a tiny startup company full of web 2.0 rockstars who hate software patents will be advised to patent as much as they can, becau

They're STILL replacing the old Macbook Pros with the dodgy Nvidia graphics cards from years ago, for free. I wouldn't be too worried about this.

As someone who has done the entire Apple sales training course, no they don't.

I really don't see how these are connected. You could easily have one screen window open and type a command into it absent mindedly without realizing it's not your laptop's shell.

With so many SSH accounts all over the place, I've started using color-coded prompts for all my connections: http://i.imgur.com/KKQHj.png This way I can be sure I'm typing `halt` into the right box, because it's easier to spot the wrong c

I had to do a Processing group project course as part of my CS degree. While it's a nice toolkit for doing very basic visualizations of data, it's a pain in the hole to do anything more advanced than that. They made us use it to develop a G

AFAIK (I don't have the source right now), Apple originally considered using X11 for the display server on OS X (in fact, early versions shipped with a version of xf86 that ran natively as it does on other *nixes), but after deciding on all
