If people have access to Facebook 24/7, in their pockets, they are more likely to become dependent on it in their daily lives. The mobile app fuels the addiction which keeps people logged in and coming back every day on their browser.

There's no one standard definition of "4G". A myriad of differing technologies all claim to be 4G, which is why it's just about impossible for a vendor to produce a device compatible with every one worldwide. If "4G" had a solid definition,

I've been trying to get people I know at Apple to start referring to it internally as Mountain Goat. It's working.

Ingenious. I can't wait to see what other iMessage-based services pop up now that the AppleScript bindings are exposed.

You fail to account for the variables involved in "calories out". Metabolism is controlled in a large way by hormones. For example, extremely undernourished people will slow their metabolism way down in order to preserve what fat reserves a

That's not true at all. Interpreted code is perfectly legitimate to use in an iOS app, under certain restrictions. The first is that you cannot JIT it, because the OS prevents execution of memory that has been writable (this is true for eve

That takes a lot more effort. Besides, most apps will be signed by the time it's released.

It's still months away from release, we might see an option to put trusted certs in the keychain.

You're kidding, right? It sounds like you don't know how the GPL applies to them or you think Apple is really dumb. There is absolutely no reason to move those apps. They're binaries. The GPL only threatens them if the use free code in a no

It's free to get a cert from Apple to sign your app, but you have to be a registered developer (which is also free). Essentially, you have to be a real person who can be identified if they produce malware.

There's a reason for that. U.S. accounting law requires that non-subscription devices that are upgraded have a fee associated with the upgrade under Apple and many analysts’ interpretation of the law. This is why iPod Touch owners have to p

Looks like you can't pass a function as an argument to any of the functions in a Sugarless chain. Seems like a pretty glaring oversight to me.

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that 5.4 introduced closures, I was more speaking on a long-term level on that note.

It's been a long time since I had any interest at all in PHP, and these new features make me feel uneasy once again. The development server seems like the only good thing about it. Traits looks like a silly implementation of multiple inheri

Ad hominem attacks aside, let me address your points. Firstly, destruction upon leaving scope in Objective-C would add some magic unexpected behavior that doesn't conform to what we expect from standard C stack-based functions. In C++, when

Yuck! The browser and server should work together elegantly in a modern asynchronous application, not force a paradigm that doesn't fit.

I disagree, though based on the attitude of your comment I'm not sure if you'll take my point. Here in Dublin, at least, iPhones are becoming extremely popular, even with the losertechnicians of the world. Businessmen with no tech skills ar
