Boys will be boys. I fell out of my bed at the age of 8! As far as I can tell, I am perfectly normal with excellent sense of balance now at the age of 30. As long as your son eats well, sleeps well, and is otherwise healthy, give it a few m

Wouldn't the apps simply have the 1x, 2x, and 3x bundled in. This means the size of apps is going to grow, yet again. Yey...... As for iPhone 5 vs 6. I think legacy apps, games mostly, would be blown up. Anything that uses standard UI

I would also like to point out that there is a JailBrake tweak, FullForce, that lets you stretch most iPhone apps to iPad screen. Most iPhone apps can actually stretch and grow, and can actually do so pretty well. And, it worked even before

I assure you, I only used Dropbox as an example. Clearly a system like this should be implemented by the company it self. If it's important, you should store it on your own servers, and make sure that those servers are safe.

How on earth are any of the things you listed "gray hat"? Asking Gmail to delete an email you have sent by mistake may be a little unethical, but entirely legal. ALL of the ideas you have posted are blatantly illegal.

That's what we used to do when I worked in the medical industry. It works, but at least once a day I had to field phone calls asking me what the password to a file I sent 3 weeks ago was. Eventually we just had to switch to using just

On a side note, this is why it's so important for these large companies to STOP sending attachments and instead used shared links to files (like via Dropbox or equivalent). One way to do this would be to have a corporate wide email gat

Why hasn't HLS caught on more broadly? From what I know it's not licensed / patented by apple. Many Flash players implement it, and overall its a great way of delivering video over HTTP.

That's not the point swombat is trying to make. You can easily rip a Youtube clip into MP3, or just download the video for later playing. I even have an app on my iPhone, McTube, that allows me to do exactly that. YouView on Mac gives

No, it does not. However, if you wanted a motorcycle that shifts for you, they have those, they are called scooters. In fact, Ducati even makes an auto dual sport bike. However, if the only thing that's stopping you from learning how t
