It isn't just open source. If I was to hack a driver for it, but not release the code and only do some sort of daemon server and documented API replicating anything it can already do, it would be the same idea. The problem comes because the

Anyone with an ego that rivals Arrington's knows this, but they think that they are going to be the one that finally topples the private empire Arrington has created. Delusion at its finest. Not that I think Arrington is without fault. He p

Is the git protocol unencrypted as well for read-only public repos? I should probably know the answer to that already, but I'm coming up blank. I guess a solution (for a non-issue) of pulling public repositories would be to fork the repo ov

Some companies do, especially if the referrer has an account for the service. This might be hard for one-off sales, but discount codes for additional or add on software could be an option.

Facebook already knows the likelyhood that Friend_A is closer to you socially than Friend_B based on the number of shared friends you have. Combine that with the frequency you "like" the posts and links of friends in that category, which si

If I'm not mistaken, VideoLAN never built a version of VLC for iOS devices, but another developer did. Apple has already changed their Licensing restrictions to comply with software such as VLC, as you said. This sounds like a giant mess of

I view ORM and MVC frameworks like a stepping stone. I first started programming using these wrappers/layers because it was simple to use. I was able to get the same data I could have if I statically programmed SQL queries onto my code, and

Exactly. I'm not a blackhat and my only "hacking" consists of forcing myself into my own systems which I've stupidly locked myself out of, yet I've managed to do much that this plugin can do. The most un-ethical thing I have done was to tak

At least for Google, Facebook (and MySpace) and Groupon, their products became popular because of how they implemented it, not because of what they built. Making a better product, successfully, is what sets apart clones from revolutionaries

This makes me wonder if Apple has a redistributable license for Java that allows them to build the Java binaries with OS X, or if Sun was the one that built the binaries that have been included in OS X install discs, but allowed them to be

The description of the group could simply point them to those URLs. The link would nearly be in the same place as it is now, and many un-tech-savvy people wouldn't even notice anything changed. In fact, I'd bet many would think that the fea
