However, it's also perfectly legal (and in my opinion legitimate) for Apple to refuse to provide any further customer service for someone who broke their agreement with Apple by doing this.

Actually, as an owner of a Kindle I find presentation issues to be a big deal. I generally only buy simple books for pleasure reading on the Kindle, and so don't really care about DRM (I probably wouldn't bother reselling the paper book, an

Goosh is neat, but isn't it actually browser-oriented (i.e. doesn't actually work in your command line)? Also, they cover completely different services (AFAIK). For example, Goosh does search and gmail. GoogleCL does picasa, blogger, post

You don't even need to know the command line, you can often do stuff like that just from Outlook.

This is great and I've been looking for something like this for a long time. The only thing it needs now is to allow you to better refine the time period (e.g. only weekend trips, or only two weeks in October, etc). As it is now, it's great

Well, it reports how it determined it was unique (i.e. the browser characteristics), so perhaps you can look at that. When I visited the page 10 minutes ago, it said I was unique. I cleared everything and then went back to the page, and the

Primary education (your source) is a little cheaper, for one thing. Regional variations matter a lot. And there are a lot of other factors. According to the U.S. Census, U.S. public schools spent $9,138 per student in 2006. This varies from

What makes you think a VAT will stop municipal and state sales taxes? States and cities will not easily give up this revenue. More likely, we'll just have VAT in addition to everything else we now have.

I'm quite sure that's not true, since I never use facebook connect and a couple apps for websites I have recently visited showed up in there.

The article writer can't mean this because he is comparing Apple to Nintendo. It would make no sense to do so if he meant the market that Apple is dominating to solely mean "cell phone games."

I think many non-developers would agree that if you can't leave Pandora playing music while you go check your email, you don't have multi-tasking.

Why does this show how patents necessarily harm innovation? It would seem to show that our particular implementation can be harmful. There's a lot of literature that discusses many of the benefits to innovation from patents throughout their

It seems to me that the SAT results of the applicants are so good, they can't only use SAT results to select students. When Stanford rejected me for undergrad years ago, they essentially said not to feel so bad because thousands of those wh

That's only part of what he says, and the rest doesn't seem really valid to me. He said: >1. Flexible Laws. Yes, this is slightly more attractive for VCs. But I imagine, unless you are in an odd state, that VCs can handle corporations i

I'm surprised to see the recommendation to incorporate in Delaware. Downsides to incorporating in Delaware: 1) You still pay full taxes in the state you are operating in (you don't get to avoid taxes by incorporating somewhere else). 2) If

Ralph Leighton is not dead, and the copyright is Feynman and Leighton. Feynman also has two children. Surely he is allowed to have his children benefit from his work after his death.

I agree with you, at least assuming it is a big feature. Squashing 30 commits into 1 loses a lot of information. The best approach I have found is to use merge --no-ff to merge the feature branch to the master branch. This lets you both kee
