Ah, I didn't know this! I guess the files aren't technically looked down, but that's technically DRM. I don't have a problem with it, but I wish they let users know the first time they download something off of iTunes or something. You thin

Other then the fact that he says iTunes music is DRM'd (I don't think it is any more), I'd say this is a pretty fair review of the Android ecosystem. Edit: This is completely irrelevant, but Chad Fowler looks way different with shorter hair

Thanks for the clarification, I should have been a little more specific. I meant to say that I wish there was a way to get a listing of all my public posts without having to log in. Kind of like going to someone's Twitter profile if you are

Steam is awesome. I used to never play PC games, and when I did I usually pirated them for convenience and simply because I couldn't legitimately purchasing the PC games I play (many of them are older and no longer in stores). However, sinc

I love Forrst, but I wish my public posts could be seen anyone even if they don't have an account.

That's true. If anything, although the Droid might not get an official 3.0 release I'm sure someone will release an unofficial rom or something.

Uh oh, I hope they lower that memory requirement a little bit. Isn't the Motorola Droid the number one selling Android phone? Looks like it's not going to make the cut.

Not necessarily related to this article, but doesn't Finland also require every citizen to enlist in their military for a few years? I remember reading about it in some Linus Torvalds interview, seems like an interesting policy.

The Market itself is open to lots of countries, but many of these countries don't have support for paid apps yet (only free) which is very frustrating.

I love Android and use a Droid as my phone but I totally agree with you, theu really need to step up with their UI. It seems that they know this. They hired the lead designer for WebOS a while back and according to TechCrunch the next relea

If you want to see more of North Korea from the inside (and from a tourist perspective), I highly recommend the Vice Guide to North Korea: http://www.vbs.tv/newsroom/vice-guide-to-north-korea-1-of-14

The author's website is incredibly clever: http://cb.vu/ It's a fake terminal but it's surprisingly fully functional (lots of commands work, tab autocompletion, etc.)

There's no way a typical end user is going to know how to deploy an open-source Ruby on Rails application. Although I really dislike PHP, I feel like it would be more appropriate because at least some technology enthusiasts are comfortable

He's probably referring to Apple's WebObjects framework for making web applications - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webobjects I don't think it's widely used at all these days although I believe Apple web apps like the iTunes store and the

Not much to my comment, but I saw him speak in 2009 at Temple University and I was left feeling the exact same way.

FWIW, I have an unofficial third-party Instapaper client for Android on the Android Market, still needs a bit of polish though, nowhere near the user experience of the iPhone client.

This is based on a sample of 1,588 users. Keep in mind that Facebook as a whole has 400,000,000 users.

I'm guessing application developers could pick because many of them are paranoid with piracy. Since Android is much more open than Android once you have an application file you can easily share it.

Is it me or do they have a lot of employees for what they are doing? Especially when all the work is outsourced.

I don't think there are any problems with it from a legal standpoint. I just feel that it's a good example of how Facebook is trying to build a walled garden of content.

I'm assuming Facebook since every community page looks like this. Also, the links to other Wikipedia pages link to different Facebook pages instead.

Also just found this: http://www.panic.com/ Watch the Transmit 4 text, it shines from time to time.

Even if you're not a Mac/Transmit user you should check our their product page for this: http://panic.com/transmit/ It looks great and the attention to detail these guys have is pretty amazing.

I have two Android apps out (one displays Mint traffic analytics on the home screen, the other displays Clicky analytics). Collectively they've sold about 50 copies since Christmas, nothing spectacular. That being said though, they're two a
