I thought hackathons were just meant to be promotional in nature. Sure they can't straight up admit it isn't about the code (as that's where they get the promotion from) but every hackathon I've looked at has been more about the API, the sp

Honest question: Isn't this within the kind of behavior that AppStore reviews are supposed to prevent, at least if there isn't an app specific functional explanation for it? Does Apple have a list of what kind of behavior like this is toler

Chrome is now available in Beta from Android Market, in select countries and languages for phones and tablets with Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich. What tablets have official ICS on them? Is ICS even fully tabletized? I thought they had s

You should probably ask some people late in life if they wished they had spent more time in the office.

Decoupling the browser from the OS is one of the best things that could happen for android security going forward. While it won't help people who can't get upgrades to ICS, at least it will solve the future problems of people who get stuck

I got the distinct impression that John really expected he was getting in on the ground floor of some kind of huge trendy movement by being a virtual facebook martyr. When said movement failed to materialize en masse he was left only with a

I'm quite torn: I simply can't decide what portion of this post I'm most captivated by. Is it the fact that John knows the exact date from over four years ago that he was booted from facebook? Maybe it's the feat of name dropping a whopping

I’ll keep looking for a better solution to prevent this event completely in JavaScript. Apple, Google, are you reading? I think it's pretty safe to assume that apple & google won't be providing you with a javascript api to inhibit pag

Has anyone tried running wayland as their desktop? With features like GTK+ and clutter it looks like they're targeting gnome 3 - is it possible to get a build of it up and running or is anyone providing a live cd?

The simple answer is that pursuing an import ban at the ITC against down market chinese tablets would be an exercise in futility. Unlike major manufacturers that are tied to their brands any no name tablet that pulled a ban would just get a

Since SOX? A perspective I've heard echoed by a few venture firms is that allowing insiders to sell a portion of the shares allows a bit of the pressure to come off and lets them focus on longer term value instead of wanting to rush into a

All of those numbers will be preliminary, they won't actually decide on number of shares offered and offering price (which determines their claimed valuation) until just before the offering. It depends on market conditions and what the larg

While I don't know the specifics, it is very common for insiders to sell shares to new investors during later rounds. If I remember correctly, most of last year's goldman deal was from existing shareholders and not the company itself. So th

Rob Landley sure seems to believe the SFLC is in control, as he repeatedly faults the SFLC for their judgement in what suits to bring regarding busybox. They share a number of directors and staff and a few years ago the conservancy's web pr

SFLC is far from a well supported organization in the GPL world. You say that the busybox settlements are necessary because most authors lack the means or the time to pursue violations, but in fact anyone who wished SFLC to act on their be

While you may not think much of the distinction, it wasn't the FBI that decided to shut them down - it was the judge that decided there was probable cause and thus signed the seizure warrants. So the judicial branch made the decision - this

You'd want to look at where the spammers and malware pushers host or are located, mostly china, russia and a few eastern european countries. Of course you're trading one set of problems for another: depending on the location you'll likely l

Stimulants aren't neurotoxic, specific substances at specific levels are. Methylphenidate's majority of benefit comes from its reuptake inhibition of both dopamine and norepinephrine. While it is also a dopamine releasing agent, it does so

Activities in KDE are workspaces more or less, a combination of applications and data that you use for a specific set of tasks. They were introduced on the desktop in KDE 4, but (imho) they still feel rather awkward. You'll be seeing a lot

Does that mean Apple has dropped the requirement that their products require a set off sales area with certain specs? It's been a very long time since I've been in a best buy, but Microcenter still has this configuration and I know it used
