Because it used to work and Apple broke it (possibly on purpose) and refuses to fix it. That's not the same as it never working in the first place.

You're right, it's not directly about money. But it is to reinforce their closed platform and ecosystem. If a great application can be used instantly off the internet, with no download, no install, no hassles, no App Store, (the way softwa

What are you talking about? How exactly is it malicious to build a game or build a music web app? On desktops with Flash or the HTML5 Audio/Video API you can already do these things. I don't see anyone complaining that things like Youtube

It absolutely is intentional. And with that same intention Apple forbids other companies from writing web browsers that fix these and other issues with mobile Safari. Auto-playing audio and video in the browser is also forbidden, which pr

by wavephorm 14y ago
Between introducing multi-touch errors, and hobbling the HTML5 Audio API, there is no way to build an engaging game for mobile Safari. Apple has sabotaged their web platform with expert precision.

MVC is just a design pattern, a way to organize code, it's not a religion.

by wavephorm 14y ago
I think the problem with most MVC frameworks is not the framework themselves, but that that the MVC design pattern should only be considered while refactoring existing working code. Starting right off the bat with a giant MVC boilerplate i

I really hope Mozilla mandates that any such phones will come unlocked, so users can always wipe their phone with a stock B2G.

I imagine both these teams were well aware that using a dictionary word like that for a product name would inevitably lead to name conflicts.

How do satellites deal with solar storms currently? Surely they could put a ton of iron around the servers to protect them.

I'm moving stuff to network drives all the time because the SDD drive capacity of my laptop is too small. Even after 3 years there still isn't anything on the market that is an acceptably priced replacement. Like I said, where is my $300

I seriously need a 1TB SSD (which either don't exist or are still way too expensive) for my laptop because I am constantly moving files off my local system and onto my file server which could also seriously use some 4TB drives, which also d

So where's my 1TB solid state disk to replace the 256GB one I've been using in my laptop for 3 years now? It seems as though all innovation in storage stopped in 2009, and we've been coasting ever since. And don't even mention there's sti

Hopefully one day it will be feasible to host our computing architecture in space and avoid all these terrestrial obstructions.

Probably not a good idea to run NodeJS as root.

This kind of reinforces my belief that Dropbox is merely a segway toward a more private, decentralized (self-hosted), cloud-based filesystem. How is Dropbox ever going to stay relevant in the future if they go around telling people what the

Perhaps even more importantly, Cloud9 is based on the ACE code editor ( http://ace.ajax.org/ ) which, by itself, is a really phenomenal piece of work. When you look under the hood it's way more complex than you might imagine.

A company I used to work for used it. I found the client to be really horrendous. It was written in some sort of god-awful Adobe Air thing that used 100% CPU constantly while it ran. Just awful, I can't comprehend why anyone would use a

When you learn how money really works, you begin to understand just how diabolical our entire socio-economic system is. Inflation, recessions, boom-bust, the stock market, fractional reserve banking, interest rates... it's all rigged, a gi

Shouldn't Google have done this before everyone started migrating off of GAE due to the price hikes, and before AWS pretty much cornered the cloud platform market, and before Dropbox cornered the cloud data storage/sync market, and before H

I've never seen a job opening for an Azure developer. Sure there might be ASP work, but you almost certainly won't be working on cloud or mobile apps. It's nearly impossible to build a large-scale cloud architecture using Microsoft techno

Excuse me, but "reality" is the world around you. My "opinion" is based on my own experiences, and my own observations of the people I know -- because that's what reality is. Reality is not simply what "people say" on internet tech websit

This is bad advice. In this day in age it is a serious mistake to start learning back-end development on the Microsoft stack. Microsoft technologies are non-existent in every aspect of cloud computing... which is the future of back-end de

Do you really imagine that the hundreds of millions of Android users chose "anything but Apple"? Yes I believe this is true. There are very few redeeming qualities that an Android tablet has over an iPad. Likewise the people I know

I imagine a lot of RIM and Google executives are getting a twitch in their eye right about now. If these new devices live up to their hype I can easily see them supplant Android as the "anything but Apple" option.
