Yup. Their interface doesn't even support the ability to add licenses to an existing certificate since their software update. Thanks but no thanks, I can save my company a bomb by going elsewhere

Some viable arguments lost in a tirade of hysteria. I've never written an app for the iPhone/iPad, so I have no first hand experience with the approval/rejection nonsense. I do however own an iPhone, and I love the fact that I can expect a

Diaspora will be a geek resource at best, possibly backed by a nice network in academia. For the vast majority of people who post photos of their weekend (mis)adventures to share with family and friends, it just isn't going to work. No-one

The iPhone has been out for years and encompasses a single device from a single manufacturer. Sales to date prove the success. Android is shiny and new, any handset manufacturer can slap it onto their collection of plastic and glass. I'd be

I realise that PHP gets slated as often as not, but considering it's a language I am familiar with, and that time constraints in many instances mean I must simply sit down and code, I find myself dipping into PHP frequently while Python/Rub

This bill strikes me as being a little odd in light of the drive toward the small and agile versus the monolithic and too big to fail. I think this paragraph sums up the potential for disaster: "Obviously, I’m deeply concerned about Senator

Great slideshow. I voted with my wallet for DropBox after buying my iPhone and finding them in the AppStore. I don't really need 50GB worth of storage, but it's an awesome app that I'll make daily use of, so it seemed a shame to stick to th

So what's a viable strategy for complaint? People are used to ignoring EULA's and TOS by now. They just want to use Facebook, comment on photos, join groups, play games and keep in touch with friends and family. They don't see this kind of

Thank you. Yet more sound advice from the HN community. The C Puzzle Book is good fun, and based on comments in the C threads, I cannot wait to get my hands on CII. I think I'll get my hands on this Programming in Objective-C 2.0 (2nd Editi

This is the kind of use I've envisioned having an iPad for, sort of a digital newspaper with the possibility to extend the information base with apps. Looking forward to the iPad landing in SA. Better take a bib to the iStore so I don't mes

Even though I don't use it as much as I should, I enjoy having a small box with Linode. Great VPS provider. Looks like the weekend is upgrade time.

"Next up is probably Ruby but it looks like perl to me so I'm in no rush." Oh dear. Expect a early morning visit from the Ruby Re-education Police, who will no doubt politely beat you witless with a cricket bat they've called Clean Syntax.

Why carry around the weight of a framework if you're happier doing things this way? Insofar as an idea on putting together a sane PHP project built from the ground up, I think it's a good article.

The industry sells image analysers hard. I've run ones by M86 Security and IronPort, and couldn't implement them based on the suggested approach, i.e. an automatic email wagging a finger at a suspected infringement. Not only do your employe

Bit of a head scratcher for content owners as you point out. It would however make a nice bullet point for considering a web site: if you're considering HeyZap, you have a problem.

I'd be interested to see a study of people, like my folks, who were in their teens in the 60's and 70's. Up north where my family is from, you generally left school at 16, got an apprenticeship with a company like Caterpillar, or hit the co

I agree with you on the spotter/partner. I started lifting about six months ago, and specifically built a program that didn't require a spotter, ramping up as I get stronger. Lifting is my time to zone out and relax, and I'm not dependent o
