Xcode 3 is (and will always be) free for all OS X users.
Xcode 4 will be free for OS X Lion users.
It would be nice if Xcode 4 was free for everybody, but it's hard to complain about their software pricing ($5 by itself, free with $30 OS or $99 MSDN-like developer program)
Actually, it's originally from the BBC, which is a television channel that shockingly exists outside the USA and is thus unknown to the civilized world.
Thanks for finding that; I had skimmed the article and searched it for some keywords but apparently missed that section.
Still, IMHO giving 40,000 students, faculty and staff access to a piece of information should count as "displaying it publicly".
It's as if I put a billboard on campus; then, when a photo of it started circulating on the Internet, I claimed that my privacy was being violated—the billboard was intended to be viewed by Harvard students, faculty, staff, visitors, random people walking aimlessly by, and squirrels...but NO ONE ELSE!
Exactly. If your app uses basic business logic and you want to maximize your audience, write a web app. If you need the best possible performance, write a native app.
Next thread: The debate over stacks versus queues continues. Which will win?
The others are odor capture devices for audience feedback. Critics have already compared it to George Orwell's "Smelloscreens" from an early draft of Nineteen Eighty-Four.
Can we stop with the obligatory "OMG typo" posts on every thread? We all know the common denominator among editors here is a low proofreading quotient, but let's not allow it to cause division.
Of course, everyone was making the same predictions about downloadable music not so long ago.
Give it a few years; once tablets are as ubiquitous as iPods, companies have been pummeled with lawsuits after shutting down eBook DRM servers, and a major retailer is threatening to take over the entire market, publishers will start marketing "eBooks Plus" or somesuch.
Yesterday I posted an analysis of the Most Common iPhone Passcodes, with passcode data taken from my Big Brother Camera Security app. As of today at 4:58pm EST, Big Brother has been removed from the App Store. I’m certainly not happy about it, but considering the concerns a few people have expressed regarding the transfer of data from app to my server, it is understandable.
I think I should clarify exactly what data I was referring to, and how I was obtaining it. First, these passcodes are those that are input into Big Brother, not the actual iPhone lockscreen passcodes. Second, when the app sends this data to my server, it is literally sending only that number (e.g. “1234”) and nothing else. I have no way of identifying any user or device whatsoever.

Well, light bulbs may be banned, but heaters are still OK.
If universes can physically interact with each other, can each really be called a "Universe"?

You must be an engineer! Welcome to Slashdot!
Yeah, the latency on wireless connections always sucks. If we plan on being on Mars a lot, we should just go ahead and string a cable.

Yep, nothing says "locked down" more than bundling an IDE with your OS, along with GCC, LLVM, Perl, Java, Python, Ruby...

The article fails to mention whether this information from FB profiles was shared or private.
If it's the latter, the crime lies with the person who gave the researchers free access to it in the first place.
If it's the former, I'm off to violate thousands of people's privacy by reading my phone book's white pages.

So it's advertised as Office 365, you're paying for Office 356, but getting Office 347.
Yeah, that sounds like Microsoft.

No cynical "pay-to-win" options will be implemented, he assured.
No, it's more of a pay-to-not-lose.
Slow news day, huh?

Hey—ignore all the haters. I'm just glad to hear you could find work, especially in this economy, and with that job in Iraq on your CV.

15% of iPhones are locked using one of ten codes.
You have ten login attempts before the phone wipes itself.
Thus, if you try each of the top ten codes on a random iPhone, you have a 15% chance of entering the right code before it wipes itself.
Also, I think you meant "successive".
