Sure, and in WWII the jester would be a patriot. What other fun wars can we just toss these people into?

Indeed, how calculating, it's almost as if someone at Apple read "How to Win Friends & Influence People".

My guess is that AWS/Azure is only used for short term storage.

That you write OSS is fairly irrelevant to the situation, so far as I can tell. IANAL, granted.

Er, right, I had a bit of a mental lapse there.

FWIW, Acorn 3.0 has layer styles listed as a feature: http://flyingmeat.com/acorn/

Typo, if any EFF people are here: > (...) in many instances, will come out to than the cost of defending a lawsuit. I assume it should read "will come out to be more than the cost".

Are you getting them all replaced at the same store? My only thought is that it would be a bad batch (given I haven't heard of this kind of chronic issue elsewhere).

Curious why they decided to only put an apparently safety cage over part of the propellers, that's fine if you don't fall off and never wreck, but I could easily see a mishap exposing a limb to the unprotected region.

That's a nice chunk of change for a Cydia-only app.

As a developer it is probably not a good idea to use private APIs to implement a feature that has obviously been on the roadmap since day 1.

I agree with the gist of your statement, but a if an Air is good enough for iOS development (and there are a few blog posts out there that say it is), then a baseline Mini will be fine.

I suspect a lot of these people are in the OSS hacker demographic (in my mind this means a college student running linux with lots of free time), in which case, why would you bother getting a Mac?

According to Gruber, carriers found out about iMessage when it was announced[1]: > (A well-informed little birdie tells me that Apple’s phone carrier partners around the world found out about iMessages when we did: during today’s keyno

I may be underestimating it's worth, but my first impression was that iTunes Match would be met (by users in general) with a feeling of paying for your non-iTunes music twice.

A less than ideal setup for non-iTunes music, but IMO that was to be expected.

dsplittgerber seems to have a valid point, though one that is understood by anyone who has followed Apple for long. Still, unsure why the comment is [dead]. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2625727 To respond, Apple has never had a pr

Well, the point is you need to try to figure it out for yourself before you ask someone else directly for their attention. If someone simply points you to google, you should be able to tell them why that isn't an acceptable response to you

Ah, I didn't realize you could use all nine points, my thinking was that it limited your options since there were fewer points and you couldn't repeat... but clearly that was wrong :)

Is the "draw a shape" screen unlocking optional and do people find it preferable to a number pad?? It seems kind of like a silly gimmick to me.

I'm referring to the desktop client which came a few months after the iOS version, I haven't used the iPad one myself.

> whoa, wait, the columns SLIDE OVER?! Wow...brilliant. FWIW, that's how Reeder works on OSX (though Reeder is relatively new).

Devils advocate stance, Google couldn't make it happen until they hired the people from PayPal who had been working on it for ten years.

It means Amazon has failed at properly marketing their software download center thing, I'd say ;)

I think Facebook has a case, at least with regards to dogbook/catbook/petbook, because why the hell would you call something "dogbook" unless you were trying to say "it's Facebook but for dogs"? But Rosetta stone named themselves after the

by tvon 15y ago
I really can't get my head around how Rosetta Stone could possibly be a protected term with regards to any kind of language comparison or translation. I mean, people know where they got the name from, right?

Maybe right now, but it's very early in the web-based IDE game to write anyone off.

The author actually states that he has no problem with the advice Apple is giving users here, but feels that Apple has lulled users into a false sense of security. Also, it looks like Gruber accused someone of crying wolf with regards to O

Regarding liking vim, I have no issue with typing "edit foobar.txt" and having a local MacVim open up :) Most of what TermKit is doing doesn't immediately appeal to me (as a longtime shell junkie of sorts), but one thing I would love to h
