Right. Like, for instance, I need some line smoothing code, but I don't want to use that in my closed source project because I don't know how far GPLv3 infects my project.

Be warned, that code is GPLv3. I don't know the specific legal issues with using it or porting it to another language, but if you're going to use it you should check.

But who wants to pay to tweet? With the business and culture they've built, they don't have a way to go back. They have to stay free for everyone, they have to show ads to make money, and they have to kill 3rd party apps to make sure the ad

Because their customers are advertisers, and their users are people who follow Ashton Kutcher and Justin Bieber. It's not the same service as it was when it started, when the API was important to them.

Better advice would be: Don't depend on someone else's API when they've made it quite clear how hostile they're going to be towards you.

A nice little piece of history. It's easy to forget how PayPal used to be a darling company instead of a pariah.

Fine. How much does it cost to build the machine that mills the case out of a block of aluminum? How much does it cost to employ the people that design the hardware, that write the software? How much does it cost to market, distribute and s

"This iTunes need eliminates a large segment of technophobes." Really? It wasn't even 3 years ago when all iPhones required iTunes syncing to load music. Every single iPod, since the very first one in 2001, have required it all along, and t

Well that's no good. Thanks for letting me know, I will take a look.

SEEKING WORK, Jacksonville FL/Remote anywhere I'm trying an experiment this month. If you need iOS work done, hire me by buying a package of hours. Details are on my blog, here: http://skroob.com/blog/2012/08/01/hire-the-developer-with-no.

That explains the complaint about DRM-ed downloads. I don't believe that's true anymore for any of the major services.

My coworking space comes up on the drinking site. So that's pretty accurate, actually.

Press can get (or at least request) a press badge that is keynote only. For those who can't get one, is there really $1600 plus expenses worth of value in blogging the event? Especially when all the usual suspects are live-blogging, the new

I'm also pretty sure the background on their page is Louie Mantia's work as well. It's an older version that he's since replaced, but you can see it on this site: http://interfacelift.com/wallpaper/details/1236/blueprint.ht... FWIW, the c

What kind of psychotic, suicidal investors group would kick out the board that has secured the kinds of returns this board has? I mean, I understand what you're saying but it seems like it would go against common sense to do something like

My problem with this, and all other stories on the same theme, is "Why?" Why does Apple NEED to do anything with its cash reserves? The story says: "Last month Mr Cook admitted that the firm has more cash than it needs for its operations. I

I disagree with the first point. I think that there are such things as objectively bad languages, and that their use should be avoided. Whether or not C++ or PHP is on the list can be argued ad infinitum, but there isn't any reasonable argu

The three in the center are in a box that says "Ads". I think they count. And all six down the right side count too. Targeted ads are still ads, even if they're relevant.

Seriously. They're taking down websites. If it was, like, eBay or Amazon or something, and 100% of business was conducted through their website, it would be meaningful. In this case, no business goes through the website, and it just seems l

As creators, we can curb piracy by making it easier, safer and more reliable to purchase legally. As users, shouldn't we curb piracy by not pirating things?

It's good practice to keep your network data model somewhat isolated anyway. For my projects, I'm creating a Core Data model to match the Parse object data model, and running everything off that, using the Parse objects to keep the CD up to

Personally, I like that I can spin up a backend for a project without needing to worry about knowing PHP/Rails/Django/MySQL/PostgreSQL/etc. It just makes it that much easier to get a minimum product out the door. If the day comes when I nee

As an iOS developer, Parse is the thing I'm most excited about working with this year. It's been really great to not have to worry about building a whole web service to handle shared data. Thanks guys!
