When Apple released the iPhone, I distinctly remember Steve Ballmer laughing it off, saying it won't make a significant impact. He summed it up as the world's most expensive phone. To him, the success iPhone achieved was unimaginable , a

The desk only kind of addresses the main problem though: being too stationary. That problem can be solved entirely, and for free.

If that was Apple's sole reason for not wanting cross-platform "shovelware", absolutely. But it isn't. It's more like Apple doesn't want meta-platforms on top of iPhone PS for completely different reasons (control, independence, etc), and a

If Apple has a problem with junk in the AppStore already, that's just an even better reason to try to keep more of it out. I don't understand the thought process that leads to the conclusion that since there are low quality apps in the Ap

Several of those startups don't disclose the chosen metrics either, though.

by tjogin 17y ago
What struck me was that profits, or even revenue, apparently aren't even interesting metrics, at all.

I agree, but sometimes there are really good reasons to change, or evolve, an API. As with the case of OpenGL and OpenGLES in this very example. The problem is that JWZ doesn't seem to consider this possibility at all; his seemingly shallo

JWZ makes no sense what so ever. I'm sure he's really good at some kind of programming, or at least that he once was, but he often talks from what he thinks is a position of insight, while actually he's quite ignorant. The first commenter

How is that not correct? Apple has stated that apps with runtimes interpreting code are not allowed, and now they're banning an app that does that. How is that not consistent?

Like I said (he calls it "preposterous"): http://daringfireball.net/linked/2010/04/16/app-store-reject... Gruber is not an Apple apologist, he's just too informed to knee-jerkingly bash Apple, unlike most other people with an opinion on

True, here he would still turn heads.

You don't need technology to see what was then considered "freakishly" obese, today. You can just go to any public place. Technology has nothing to do with it.

Wouldn't that be completely out of character for him, since he's usually pretty hard on Apple for their mismanaged AppStore — especially when it comes to arbitrary refusals?

Ignorance already means this. Not having information about something is not ignorance, not realizing so is.

How would it benefit Google to re-encode every video on YouTube into VP8?

He never goes into how he uses Lua, but if he's still targeting Apple's libraries (rather than some cross-platform transition layer), they might not even be able to tell he is using Lua in the first place.

Right, but since everybody ( close to 100%) is already using Apple's platform by choice that means there's no difference from how they were developing apps before. That doesn't suddenly make them "fanboys", or "willing to bow", it just

Very close to 100% of iPhone developers are using Apple's tools. Does that mean that all of these developers are either fanboys or willing to "bow down" to Apple, or is there even a smidgeon of a chance that they actually think it's a prett

by tjogin 17y ago
So let me get this straight, you are a fanboy per definition if you're an iPhone developer? Holy fundamentalism, Batman!

That sounds very reasonable — with third party development environment like that of CS5, that would be expected. But how could it detect, say, various libraries that would pre-compile to C/Objective-C — not using a third party development

by tjogin 17y ago
I'm not saying the article is right, it's clearly not written by somebody particularly technically savvy. But, if the code produced by Adobe CS5 and the Apple sanctioned means of developing yields the same result, how could Apple possibly e

It also certainly doesn't prove that AppStore's malware filtering is broken. It suggests that it does work, very well.

Fact remains: no malware on AppStore.

Does DHH stand out as a person who uses a lot of it, or are you not used to men using any at all?
