I know these are "average" stats and probably not much relevant for any individual, but I still find it surprising that anyone sends 100 text messages on average. Or are they including facebook messages and tweets as well?
I don't know if I'm feeding a troll but let me attempt an answer anyway - it's about the market share of people that actually use the app. My wife has a symbian non-touch phone but it's such a pain to use any of the apps including the browser. The screen size and the keypad for input make it really unusable. Lest you call me fanboy, I own an Android phone and the only Apple device I have is the very first gen iPod.
May be he trusts the iPhoneDev team. Every time you install a program whose source you have not inspected, you're trusting the source. He's doing the same. How is it any different?
I was with you until you twisted the discussion to Israel. You don't think starving all of Palestiniens, denying them basic human necessities is not wrong? I'm sorry, I agree Hamas will have to be controlled, but to punish the whole nation of Palestine (yes, it is a nation and has as much right to exist as Israel) is wron
It stands to reason that any society below a certain wealth/developmental level will tend towards fundamentalism of various kinds and as wealth and developmental level increase in society freedoms starts to emerge.
I have two words for you: Saudi Arabia How long have they been rich? How freer are they now than before?
Why would they need to be democratic? They're obviously doing just fine without democracy. That's my point though, democracy does not equal freedom; in fact freedom is completely separate from democracy. Democracy is a way of making a functioning state, not a way of ensuring the freedoms of people in that state.
So in your opinion, chinese people have freedoms?! Are you living under a rock or don't you like to just admit flaws in your argument?
Your post reminds me of a certain developer - Russell Ivanovic. Here's before and after. I hope you have a better experience than he did.
Your app is very interesting. It appears like you put considerable thought into the porn stash use case (with secondary album and panic gesture and all that:-)
Way to go MS. I guess you got jealous that Apple is hogging all the bad press, so you had to do something to prove you're still the original evil company.
Why don't they fucking come out and say it like it is: "We don't want Adobe or Google (at the moment). Anything else is okay - until we feel threatened or pissed off at that company"
Admittedly, since MS will be coming at the market from a position of significant weakness by the time any WP7 handsets actually make it out the door(oh hai! Our revision 1 product, missing most of the enterprise stuff that kept people on WM6 despite the fact that it blew, is being released into the face of iPhone OS 4, and android 2.2, if not 2.3 or later...) they will likely be inclined to be merciful masters. At first.
I'm willing to settle for that. That introduces some more competition - and hopefully, will keep the borgs (on both sides) in check. Isn't that what free market is supposed to do?
What makes you think she is anonymous or assumed that it will not be read by her employer? Her defense is that it is an obvious joke, and that she is not really a drug addict. We don't know the rest of the conversation, may be what she said was funny in the context it was said too.
Like others pointed out, this is probably just an excuse to fire her. The real reason could be something else.
RTFA - It is not XSS. It is XSRF. And it is not browser specific since cross-posting to a different URL is inherent property of forms and hyperlinks. Websites have to do something proactive to prevent XSRF like setting a hidden field in the request that serves the form and validating the field when it receives the post data. Facebook had the required code, but was allowing the post to succeed when the field was completely omitted.
The CSRF bug page in the summary says that facebook confirmed that it's patched already. And the actual hacker's page says that he found if he does a little more (delete a few more parameters as well as the "post_form_id"), the CSRF resurfaces.
Anyway, he posted an update saying fb patched this one now (22 May)..
so how's the iphone os 4.0 working for you? You have it already, don't you?
Seriously, how is this different from iPhone? How long has it been since it was "announced"? I'm sure if you buy an iPhone a week before 4.0 was announced, you'd get a phone with 4.0, right?

There is an addon for Firefox CookieMonster which does exactly that.

Can you tell us how people used to "woosh" 50 years ago...?
I wonder what happened to all those standards when the options backdating scandal happened?
May be HTML 6 will have a sarcasm tag ....
Can you call international?

The drivers were pressing it wrong.

Anywhere we can get to view the presentation? Is it recorded and uploaded anywhere?
How about we step up the offence? Let's have a "Draw Allah" day!

From bash.org : Apple dumped the geek/hobbyist market to go after the highly profitable moron/trendy market.
