I'm disappointed to have to emphasize that this is Randi Zuckerberg responding to the leaked picture, not Mark Zuckerberg. There's no sweet irony here about creating a site and being burned by it, just being it's former chief marketing of

According to an official interview, it does look like they are going to add a Gyro and Button API at some point to the browser: http://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/wiiu/internet-bro...

Or automating the creation of a unique app token for each user: https://dev.twitter.com/apps What TOS does that violate? What if the user manually creates a token and inputs it? Could Twitter detect this even happening?

I always thought that Sinofsky was a driving force behind some of the changes that preceded Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8. This comes as a great surprise to me and I hesitate to think who would be in a good position to follow him (and ultim

I was hoping for a Node.js alternative. One question, have you thought about using https://github.com/samshull/node-proxy instead of searching through the environment to find binaries? Using .get() you would only need to identify programs

I wonder how this relates to Meebo's pivot toward an information platfrom, versus Meebo Messenger. Surely it can't be worth $100 million to basically get what libpurple offers for free.

A heavy theme of the article is how good Zuck is at building a suitable management team. He'll have to pick a Tim Cook someday.

It's incredible that he worries about disruption, when if AT&T were to disrupt its own text message model, they'd be lauded for it by customers and technology advocates. What do large companies gain by not being the first to disrupt t

To be fair, the list of issues are what someone from an OO background will eventually run into when using JavaScript, and the article does offer solutions to those issues for people who want them fixed (namely cross-compilation, or models

Fascinating--we might see this as the adoption of the pause/resume states of most mobile devices. This makes sense, and I'm wondering how long it will be before we see diagrams like these for the lifecycle of a webapp: http://developer.and

That sounds bizarre to do with products in the wild. With chip yield being so fickle at such high concentrations, is having a core being disabled for most of the products' lifestyle a bad idea to activate suddenly, in case one core wasn't f

Is /copy_ref usable across API keys? Your API keys can easily be revoked, but you could instead just cache copy_ref links, and script the ability for a user to create their own dummy Dropbox app, then start downloading files.

An excellent, simple extension to this is to throw simple arithmetic operators into the mix (digits 0-9, +, -, / and * perhaps) and to try and breed an algorithm which when evaluated yields a number, like the number 500. You can get startli

I don't think Steve Jobs necessarily is responsible for this, but that he was aware that it was going to happen. If the iPhone had shipped with a poor implementation of Flash, which was all Adobe was capable of delivering, Flash would still

In dump.ly's use case, they would probably want client-side detection in JavaScript, not the UA string. You definitely have to be conservative implementing such an unexpected feature. An older article (2008) that also talks about misreporti

This is an incredible decompilation for another reason: graphical hacks. The Pokemon in Red and Blue were notoriously compressed, making it insanely difficult to add new Pokemon versus later games like Gold and Silver. These games were bare

It's a victory for the internet now that all our organization and effort that would be directed to (simply delaying) PIPA can now be directed toward passing useful, protective legislation. Of course this seems like a pipe dream, but we're a

PHP uses the parlance "associative array" most often, to be fair. The confusion is really that PHP has few types that cover a lot of features. PHP combines its numerically-indexed array type with its ordered maps, and if you start by using

Very weak premise, basing human capability on lunar landings alone. I can argue that if we do not reproduce the Higgs boson in forty years that we've peaked right now; more likely, the interest simply isn't there in repeating an experiment

From an entirely US perspective, this is good. If the court order followed through, there'd be fallout, and perhaps some of the 21 social networking sites will decide they don't want to play ball and they shut down in India instead. Then th
