It wouldn't, but not because of free speech laws, but because of anti-discrimination laws.

Again, I can't reply to your last post. Very weird. > Okay, so if I understand you correctly, freedom of speech is violated by censorship, but censorship doesn't always violate freedom of speech. Yeah, that sounds about right. Although

(For some reason I can't reply to your last post, so I reply here instead.) No, censorship is not illegal. Freedom of speech protects your right to speak without getting silenced or punished for it (with some limits, like hate speech) by th

Intent of what law? How does the law even come into this?

Why would the definition of the word 'censorship' be up to a judge to decide? And why would a judge be involved at all? It isn't illegal to censor something. The fact that this is censorship doesn't mean that Apple aren't in their right to

How does making something clear in a TOS not make this censorship? Censorship, as defined by Wikipedia: "Censorship is the suppression of speech or deletion of communicative material which may be considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive

If it was rejected due to its "politically charged" content, what would be the difference between that and censorship?

It would also have been free to run Github off of an old server out of their garage. Just not very functional.

37signals didn't make fun of Twitter. They made fun of ridiculous, unrealistic valuations. That Twitter was the subject of a ridiculous, unrealistic valuation is not Twitter's fault, it is the fault of the person doing the ridiculous, unrea

I don't remember 37signals claiming you'll hit the jackpot with their proposed model either. Their entire argument can be summed up as "forget the freaking jackpot!" Hoping to win the lottery is not a good way to make money. Instead, you sh

Only websites with a specific meta-tag set are going to use the Chrome rendering engine, every other site will render using the default IE-rendering engine, including any internal IE-only applications. Also, although it is hard to believe,

That's very true, but Internet Explorer has been worked on even longer still. Also, the V8 javascript engine is Google's own.

So why didn't he get a motorized pump before the alarming need for it arose? Because, at the time, that money was better spent on other things that were more necessary then.

By charging for your service, you're actually rather protecting your users — a free service is much more likely to suddenly disappear from the face of the web when it's too far into the red. And certainly, that wouldn't be appreciated by th

100-200 companies in ten years doesn't sound like a lot. How many people won the lottery during the same timeframe? I think DHH has a point. While hoping for the big exit isn't exactly like hoping to win the lottery, I'd say he's right that

Mint's backend isn't the point, it certainly isn't what made Mint popular —— it's the frontend.

Sure. But most of Apple's customers have never seen a single one of Steve's keynotes. It's amazing the lengths people go to "explain" why a lot of people really like Apple's products, coming up with all sorts of fantastic reasons, all the

Also, they're testing Hello World. IMHO that makes the tests close to meaningless.

Those connotations also reminds people why they need the service to begin with. You need IPREDator because of IPRED.

It does make a lot of sense. I'm just surprised that they decided to tack a video camera on an mp3-player. When you've decided to get a video camera, you look for video cameras, not mp3-players. I'm surprised they didn't decide to simply ma

Microsoft does that too, with their Xbox (which, not coincidentally, is far less error and bug prone than their Windows PC offerings).

I think you meant that you can reproduce a fraction of this app's functionality, and present it in an unattractive way with really bad useability, in ten lines of code. And even then you'd be exaggerating.

It would be extremely unlikely for a new iPhone to be released at an Apple Music Event.

Besides the great points that sstrudeau brings up, I'd also point out that there is a big difference in how the offers are presented. News organizations are just about calling their online readers freeloading cheapskates who need to start p

I'm not going to weigh in on the likelihood of this happening at all. But if it did, I don't see why it couldn't function like the App Store (but for artists instead of software developers): let anyone publish music, the good stuff floats t

I dont agree. A movement doesn't have to be fundamentalistic. It doesn't have to propose that SQL is wrong in every case, only that SQL needn't be the first thing that comes to mind when you need to persist data, or the only thing. Th

True enough, but the post to which I replied didn't just use the word "sex appeal" in a to me alien way, he also mentioned that this device would "get him laid". Jokingly, of course, but I'm still unsure we even mean the same thing. If he s
