Fucking seriously? I know it's popular to hate "America" lately -- since it makes a nice big clean target and it gives you a nice fuzzy "edgy" feeling to do so -- but it seems more like Australia's leading the

I love having the server and client share the same codebase. I'm working on a webapp that mimics functionality of an existing desktop application -- mostly as a self-educational project. As I'm writing it and adding features, I c

Your skepticism turns out to be warranted. Apparently the operation was conducted after local police "received a tip from a Bay Shore based computer company regarding suspicious computer searches conducted by a recently released emplo

It doesn't have to be a conspiracy. It's a simple fact that the President is the single most powerful individual in the nation. But given that fact, there are still thousands of power relationships that he has to deal with, so h

In Facebook's case I absolutely do not trust the waiter. I'm glad Google tells me what the waiter has access to.

Well it's not exactly "stealing" when the app is forced to tell you upfront what it's going to "Edit SMS or MMS, read SMS or MMS, receive SMS". How more explicit can you be?

Why is Android to blame? The SMS permissions are clearly spelled out on the install screen. As you said, you can opt out by not installing the app (or not updating, in the case where a permission changes between versions). That said, the

Not any more mythicized than any particular iOS feature. Mapquest is available for free on Android as well. It is a nice app, but it can't match the integration of native Google Navigation.

I was there for about the same time period. In addition to the shift in the community, around that same time the front page began to be dominated by mediocrity (daily mail anyone?). If you checked the history on any of the front page subm
