the Facebook give-us-your-login-temporarily style stuff is unacceptable Agreed. IMO, asking for your password when there are API's readily available is alone enough to disqualify a company from being "trustworthy". Just the idea of keepin

I'm a big fan of Subtle Tea on Madison and 30th: http://subtleteastore.com/ But there are a ton of them around I don't know by name. Usually smaller places frown on non-customers using it, or using it on busy nights (Friday/Saturday after

The topic was Flash running in a mobile browser. Like Android, which Adobe originally said would ship Flash for over a year ago. I think Adobe's utter engineering incompetence is one of the obvious points everyone seems too polite to make.

Let's keep in mind, however, that there is not really one monolithic "market". Just as McDonalds co-exists with Jean Georges, the legions of Android clones running Flash, etc. will peacefully coexist with iPhones, except without the respons

Err, he didn't admit it. An anonymous employee of Facebook alleged it, "off the record". Most people I know treat Facebook as if it were a public-facing website, anyway, and should be more upset that Facebook isn't making people's informa

I don't think you have dueling anecdotes, just observation of the existence of red weasels and blue weasels. Until someone starts claiming that most weasels are some color, or that certain colored weasels tend to occur in certain kinds of

They chose the path that would lead to the fastest adoption of the technology which lowers their bandwidth costs. Keeping the technology Chrome-only is against their financial interests. Apple and MS pay yearly licensing fees for H.264. As

I think what he was looking for was the link between the rules Apple uses to accept/reject things from the store and the SDK agreement... but yeah, it seems to be a moot point.

I think Gruber's interpretation is one that any person reading the document will have. Not necessarily. See: http://andreyf.tumblr.com/post/508678742/stop-interpreting-l...

Showing that there are those among us who will gas women and children, and many more who will not do anything about it as long as it doesn't affect them personally is a repeated lesson of history, not some psychology study.

I think the idea is that the individuals in your family already own iPod Touches or iPhones (we do), so as soon as someone has a iPad, you're set.

Yes. Apple completely changed battery designs between the removable and the non-removable versions. The latter will last significantly longer.

From what I know, Andrey (the poster) is pretty neutral on TD, maybe even a proponent. He's saying you should have an interface in mind when you start to write unit tests. Sometimes you can do that before writing code. Other times, explo

For all we know, these are the kinds of people who, when approached on the street, said "sure, I'll go on The Death Show". They're the same kids who stomp on worms after it rains - a small minority of the complete population.

The good news is that once you start to understand where our biases are we can compensate to a degree, or at least include them in our mental models. Isn't it backwards to realize the logical models of our actions are only justifications

I think what he is trying to say is that the experiment conducted for the documentary was not a robust peer reviewed phenomenon, but rather a for-pop-consumption "backyard demonstration". Real science takes a lot of effort (avoiding the bef

Right - you don't maximize shareholder returns by being generous with handing out stock. IMHO, being generous handing out stock is just stupid.

Because you need to pay licensing fees measured in "millions of USD per year" if you're going to distribute software which decodes H.264.
