No. It's primarily a way for registered iOS developers to send beta builds to their testers' devices wirelessly. The usual process required syncing via itunes.

I'm not sure if I misunderstood your comment. But as far as I know most iOS users install apps using the app store built into the device. It's really not much different, if not more polished than the cydia store. I think the real reason for

Not sure, but it could be device specific. My one off alarm that I just set the other day did not work. The one that my wife set worked. Same OS versions but she has a 3GS and I have the iPhone 4.

My theory on why apps are priced too low is that it's because of the expectations set by the prices of the initial apps on the store. The first apps on the app store were priced really low and this set the trend that continues today. A lot

It's been this way for years for most other countries. But the invite method does work and I got my first gmail address via that. However for my other gmail address, I just gave them my mobile number and typed in the verification code I rec

I read somewhere that Chris Anderson was quoted as saying that the caption for this talk should be that "Bill gates releases more bugs into the world".

Code reuse cuts the development time and brings down the defect rate. So it should be a good thing. Quite the opposite approach taken by the Mozilla guys. Those guys alsmost built their own everything (rendering engine, foundation classes,

Let me add that again, this goes to show that depending on a vendor for an important technology in your startup can actually be risky. Using open standards are always the way to go.

I think scribd implements their own flash app to view documents. So they should be ok.

If we are to believe the article, then the solution is to avoid comparing yourself to others. Try not to make it your goal to have what they have. Our goals should be more self driven.

They seem to be using their own javascript engine, so it might need separate testing because of that. Although if it becomes popular enough, most javascript libraries and frameworks will surely support it.

I think the article isn't serious. It's obviously meant as a joke. So lighten up guys :)

Very nice tutorial. It's good how he points out the useful libraries for web development with lisp.

I agree. Google simply followed the the semantics of http. They had similar problems with the the Google Web Accelerator before. But it's really hard to blame google for the mistake of other programmers.

It really depends on the quality of people you have. This is a really nice way to run a company. But for it to work, you need to get employees that care and are willing to do their fair share for the company.

This new feature addresses what I think is the biggest complaint about EC2, as seen on their discussion boards. People used to complain about the lack of static IPs, now that's no longer a problem. Once they get around to rolling out this f

I just use linux on my servers and OS X on my desktop. Works very well for me and I'm sure it also does for other people.

Some very sane advice from a very sane person. It's a bit different from what other people would tell you. I especially like the way he addresses how startup culture worships youth. And also about the balance of life thing. These are good t

I think the rails guys are promoting this themselves because it solves the shared hosting criticism for them. Hope this really works :)

Just tried it. Very nice and very easy to use. Has some really pretty graphs of your commits as well :) . Their free plan is really good for open source projects.

For all its usefulness, where are those wonderful hypercard stacks now? That's right you can't use them anymore or at least not that easily. This is due to the fact that it's a proprietary platform that the vendor stopped supporting. Althou

The article did a real good job of explaining what makes git different from the other popular VCS. I used to use git as a more flexible subversion, just bundling adds and commits. But after I had this concept figured out, I realized there i

In the starbucks shops from where I live, you have to pay when you order. That is before they write your name in your cup. So the problem the article is talking about simply does not apply.
