yep, but the clever IE team caught wind of it and operation get more cakes failed. Firefox 6 rescheduled to 2013.

Hope not to sound like a extreme liberal, but a lot of the highly illegal hard drugs, aren't nearly as hazardous or addicting as they made out to be and can have positive effects - IF used right. That includes psilocybin, MDMA, THC, DMT, LS

Yes Apple seems to be stupid in their own ways, and that a big reason why Android is overtaking them. No one can argue that Apple is a successful company, but I believe they could have had a de facto MONOPOLY on smartphones right now. First

The root of the problem lies in the OS and their SDK. For a while BlackBerrys were the best platform to develop for. Symbian, pain is the ass. JavaME, even worse. WM6 was a little bit better, but it still was a pretty bad WinCE fork, with a

You really think so? I mean these are cables, there's no secret how to make them and they've been making them for decades, so they'll probably know what they are doing. There's no user experience on cables. It doesn't seem so far fetched to

Planned Obsolence ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planned_obsolescence ). Yes Apple is doing it, does it surprise anybody? edit: well thanks for the downvotes, I know RDF is strong here but consider how they removed the strain rings, how the

Exactly, I've broken two of the cables so far and they are just bad. Period. Then, someone gave me a different, much more robust, cable, and I thought: "oh ok they realized their flaw, finally they improved their power coords". - Now I look

I don't get it :( please explain.

Even better: Hack the iTunes Match service to let it think you have MP3s, that you don't even have on your system. Bam, instant free access to all music on iTunes. (well almost free)

This could get exploited so hard. I'm sure there must be a catch somewhere in the service.

Apple is too professional to get the amateurish web.. pfff what kind of non scene is that? As if web companies like Google, Facebook, Twitter etc. were a bunch of disorganized slackers and that is somehow more successful on the net. Weird a

Meh mixed feelings. First the whole Metro UI seems to run on top of a normal Windows as an alternative glorified launcher. He mentions that Apps are written in some kind of new HTML/Javascript framework - now I don't know exactly how its go

Yes! I'm glad finally someone like Gruber shared his opinion on this. Integrating Twitter in native apps has been a huge pain for me and trying to explain clients why they can't have a native branded user/password dialog in the app (like "a

Well I agree with your point, but did you really had to drag reddit into this? I don't think reddit is at fault of these opinions here.

"This video is not available", are they not live yet, or is it geo blocked? :\

by zyb09 15y ago
Well yes, but either it's a "full computer" and fulfills every bodys needs and wishes, or it's not a full computer...

Not unless they significantly open up iOS.

I guess someone could, but I think there wouldn't be much need for an app on how to make coffee, then there is for tea? Well if someone has a cool concept, send me a message, I could code it up!

Who cares about GC? People are complaing because after month of hard work developing an App Apple simply rejects it because you're using the camera button as the photo shutter and that would of course tremendously confuse any users. Things

Just wait until Apple sues someone and lets see for which side HN roots in that case :o

by zyb09 16y ago
Pretty, but seriously, what's the point?
233.
by zyb09 16y ago
yea, apple should just allow installation of third party apps outside the appstore (oho such an alien concept nowadays) and police the hell out of the official appstore.

In my experience it is more 'fun' to write C code then to lay down yet another line of boiler-plate high level code. However, it seems to take longer to get things done and the resulting code is also much more error-prone (at least my code

There it is? It hasn't happend yet and these numbers are estimations. While things may go that way it would be very presumptuous to claim they already made more money with the cover than all other competitors made with their tablets.

They are just pointing out, that if this had happened somewhere else it would been much more devastating and that Japan was good prepared for this. So I don't really know why you're complaining about the article.

I know I'm quite the minority, but I still like the 3GS design more than the new one. Always thought the roundness was kinda neat. That said, that mockup looks sexy, hope it's true.

Potential sure, but the new GarageBand etc. are still just toys, even if Steve claims otherwise. No body is gonna use GarageBand or iMovies to produce something, that gets sold on iTunes.

That's completly besides the point. Also why the hell are you claiming Android have no media capabilities, I don't think you know what you are talking about.

If all you ever do is consume digital media, yes the iPad could replace your PC. But PCs are also widley used to produce content, which is something the iPad can't do at all. Where does Apple think all the stuff they sell on iTunes, the App
