Looking closely at them side by side, there are minute differences, so I withdraw my complaint. They look awfully similar though.

Is this kosher? It looks like they're re-bundling the Glyphicons set that comes with Bootstrap[1]. Glyphicons has a free set with a CC by-nd license[2], which wouldn't work here. 1. http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/base-css.html#icons

I'm pretty sure the newer TOS for Twitter precludes that.

I had a similar, but separate issue - after upgrading to iOS 6, my wifi was disabled and wouldn't turn back on. Tried messing with settings, airplane mode, resetting network settings and restoring, but nothing worked. Doesn't look like I'm

One interesting thing to note is that this is from Bob Mansfield, and not Tim Cook. When Jobs was CEO, I don't remember a subordinate ever releasing something like this.

It does. http://www.instapaper.com/extras Search for "Kindle automatic wireless delivery". Haven't used it myself though.

It's possible, but really hard, especially if you have a family. And actually, building a product in your free time isn't that rough; it's supporting it that will consume all of your free time. Think about it, let's say you have a perfectly

I did download the new iBooks and some sample textbooks on my iPad 1. It's definitely on the slow side, but not terrible. Though that may change over time as future iOS versions are released.

Here's a freebie for Spotify and Rdio: Allow artists to sell their merch from your app/website. It would engender a ton of good will from artists. It might even help your margins (which I imagine can't be too huge) too. If they don't do tha

Don't forget Android, Windows Mobile, and Blackberry. iCloud is available on Windows, but I don't think it will be going to competing mobile platforms any time soon.

They do, but you have to pay extra for all that. Stripe's pricing is simple enough for my small mind to comprehend without needing a spreadsheet.

"You don't need a merchant account or gateway." That's a killer feature right there. I've been considering using Braintree for a project, but seeing this is really making me reconsider.

I have both. The UI on the Apple TV is better (but not leaps and bounds better), and the Netflix quality seems to be just a little better in HD. Both are connected to HDMI. Of course, the Roku also does Hulu and Pandora, and I have a second

It would seem that their acquisition by SalesForce hasn't slowed them down at all, in fact I'd go as far to say that they've been even more productive since that happened. I'm curious about how that whole process has gone; has SalesForce pr

Don't forget the vast quantities of accessories for consoles. Extra controllers, Xbox Live, downloadable content, are huge profit centers for the Xbox division.

They spent $1.2 billion on Palm, only to kill the whole project after it had been on the market in 48 days?! I had no doubt that HP would bungle that acquisition, but I didn't think they'd do it so spectacularly.

Here's the problem with poor social skills: you put a low ceiling over your head. If you can't interact well with your co-workers, managers, and others, you won't get very far in your company. You are free to be an asshole. But don't compla

The frustrating thing with all the "sales" numbers I've seen for Android based tablets is that they all seem to mention the units _shipped_, but not necessarily sold to consumers. The original article quoted by BGR still says "shipments". I
