Doesn't that counter argument amount to "but it's easy, and tempting"?

It's basically a hobby project. You could arguably save a few $k building a Mac Pro clone, but if you really need a Mac Pro level machine then you probably shouldn't rely on a Hackintosh. It certainly kills the "just works" aspect of Appl

Yeah, it takes a little attention but if you can build a computer and do a little research you can get yourself a fairly inexpensive "Mac Pro".

I think the site is odd, but nothing about it seems to say that you can't also be on other dating sites.

Apple doesn't have a monopoly on anything. Still, they seem intent on pushing the limits.

Yeah, it could use some prettification but it's interesting, I had never heard of it before.

It just doesn't work that way. If Apple allows it and it becomes at all popular, they are stuck in a situation where they either need to support it directly or deal with the predictable outrage from the blogosphere when iTunes X.Y breaks P

Keep in mind it took the Chinese government hacking into their computers to get Google to leave China.

True, but being based on open standards doesn't necessarily mean that the end result won't have anything proprietary in it. Jobs saying they are going to make FaceTime an open standard seems to imply that they are adding something of their

I think AT&T giving discounted renewals six months in advance is good indication that they will be losing exclusivity early in 2011.

I don't know how many times this has to be said, but a product is more than the sum of it's feature-grid checkboxes.

I think those were fairly light shots, at least compared to what was said at Google I/O.

I'm not really clear on what the gyroscope adds that wasn't there before, can someone clarify?

I really don't see how not inviting Gizmodo to WWDC equates to acting like a 5 year old.

Probably the same as the current WebKit nightly build (144).

Are these improvements added via Chrome or are they improvements to the WebKit Inspector?

True, I thought it had features similar to the Dashboard app, but apparently not.

I haven't figured out what two things in 8 are supposed to be.. at least the obvious thing doesn't make sense in that context...

It seems to me that a widget app, if popular, would become a new target for 3rd party applications, and I can't see why Apple would want that.

I believe this example is a SWF running in Canvas (as opposed to vanilla HTML5). Regardless, with HTML5 you have all the benefits of an OSS rendering engine where performance can be improved by individual implementors (eg, Apple improving W
