All I see is that users get a Dropbox app pre-installed, with 25GB of storage. iCloud gives the user transparent storage of data, apps can use the same APIs on all iOS devices (where is the Android Dropbox API?) to store information there.

Even funnier, the military used it in the Iraq war to communicate. http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/11.06/battlefield_pr.html "We'll be in the middle of a battle and a bunch of field artillery colonels will come online in the form of th

It installs a "gcc" command-line wrapper which actually calls the LLVM compiler.

The new XCode 4.2 and presumably the next versions of it do not ship with a real GCC, which is one of the things mentioned in the article. This causes problems for software that doesn't compile right with LLVM yet (arguably bugs in the sof

Right, so we have to rely on leaks in the future to get visibility on how our rights are being stripped away, this is the democratic process our predecessors shed blood for? Am reminded of this passage from HHGTTG. "But Mr Dent, the plans

I agree, though I'd probably suggest working from a simple zshrc for starters ("man zshall" is also your friend). I just spent a bit of time yesterday tweaking information in my prompt just so: http://imgur.com/OSEB3 And it's made a huge

It's fairly obvious what they should do: apologise publicly and to the people who they misrepresented themselves to. Not in the Anglosphere where the actual people affected will never know of their wrongdoing. Not throw their hands up in th

Were you running old versions of iOS? Personal Hotspot has been in it since March, seems odd that iPhone users would not be running at least 4.3 by now.

SAP deployments must work in some cases, surely. I read somewhere that a large part of Apple's supply chain management is built on SAP, as well as being the system of record for iTunes/App Store transactions. I can't find a reliable citatio

I love spelunking problems like this, it's quite the rush when you finally crack it.

iTunes, however, is available in my country. I'm sure we'd get the stock answer claiming they're working as hard as they can to bring it. In a year or three.

Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but even after reading the instructions & watching the video I'm getting odd results which don't match what is in the video at all. I realize there is a disclaimer that it may not necessarily be ac

Not available outside of the US (except for the crippled non-touch version). Poor, poor strategy. That's essentially gifting the market to iOS/Android. I sure as hell won't wait until Amazon deigns to offer one outside.

Robocopy, while useful, does not have very many of the features of rsync, apart from retries. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rsync

This is not the pricing model used in African countries. So the price of the handset does matter. As I understand it, most mobile phones in Africa are pre-paid, using per-second billing.

I hate it when people do this. If you look at the script it's only three freaking commands, one of them a git clone. We're not bumbling idiots who can't type (or copy & paste) into a terminal.

Or they just want to test that they can reduce a fraction? This was a common requirement when I was in primary school.

Agreed with (2). I actively create patches and submit it to them whenever I run into a problem, and I will keep doing so, because it's typically only a few days until it gets merged. How I got into it, was the nifty searching of Github issu

Would be interested to see this broken down by country as well, if possible. I'm not doing too badly even when currency conversion is taken into account, but the number of people on 120-150k is impressive. Puts it a bit in perspective, our

Yep. Without thinking, I used code for an open source library I had written in my spare time in our proprietary software, and it came up during a due diligence check for acquisition. Wasn't a big deal in the end, I just made sure it was usi

One thing I'm not sure about with these job queues - how do you handle cases like having to drop down to C++ to do a chunk of work that cannot be done in JS, without blocking the interpreter? Or would you just submit that work to a separate

PowerShell is handy, but man, is it slow. If you thought text rendering by cmd.exe was slow, wait till you get a load of PowerShell. I don't really understand why the console subsystem in Windows is so slow that it can actually add a signif

I wonder how comparable this is to the revamped notifications in iOS 5? Because the experience looks pretty good. I love how you don't have to switch out of the application to respond to the notification.
