If you believe wikipedia on its origins, the whole thing might actually be "don't kill the messenger because he's not lying" (In Henry IV, they threaten to kill the messenger because they don't believe his message).-* The More You Know.
Brown and Tijerina said that the AppStore rigorously checks the source code for potential security problems caused by buffer overflows, copyright infringements, and permitted protocols as well as APIs.
Well Brown and Tijerina are full of shit then.. since Apple doesn't have access to the source code for any app in the app store not written by them.
.which is one way of preventing malware, it's working pretty well so far for that platform.
Depends on your definition of malware. Spyware is rife on the app store. Pinch Media's analytics tracking is all over the app store.. more than 30 million downloads contained their tracking software... at least according to Pinch Media itself.
Here is everything that apps with pinch media analytics are sending to them:
Your iPhones unique ID, iPhone model and OS version, application info, whether or not the iphone is jailbroken, whether or not the application is pirated, time & date you start and stop the application, your current latitude & longitude, and if facebook is installed on your iphone, your gender and birthday.
Were I giving an i-something to a 14 year old boy, I think I'd like to have a bit of control over what that boy's watching if he's my child, and my responsibility
I notice you compare the price with the kindle, but don't compare the battery life with it. Kindle battery life? 4 days with wireless on, 2 weeks with it off. Makes that 10 hours kinda pokey in comparison.
If you're a politician, you're screwed the minute you set foot in a strip joint. It's not like the people inside have signed non disclosure agreements.
Just a warning for people who expect OSX Server to work exactly like all the other Unices they're used to. If you run a process as a regular user, and background it, then log out, OSX will garbage collect the context. The process will continue to run, but will be unable to do things like DNS lookups or open ports.
Apple's solution is to either run the process inside Screen, or launch the process in the Server Context via launchd.
but that testable code is fundamentally better because it needs to be loosely coupled.
I disagree. It builds a false sense of security, and artificially increases complexity. You end up making your units smaller and smaller in order to keep each item discrete and separate.
It's like a car built out of LEGO, sure you can take any piece off and attach it anywhere else, but the problems are not with the individual pieces, but how you put them together.. and you aren't testing that if you're only doing unit testing.
They may state that, but they don't enforce it consistently. Frotz is available on the app store, and it is, by definition, a z-machine interpreter. There's even BASIC for z-machines.
Considering how "browse facebook" is practicaly synonymous with "play farmville" then no, the iPad is not perfect for this. Since farmville requires flash.
Since you're already getting a cell card for your sales people, why not just spend the $100 up-front and get the netbook that every single cell provider offers?

I've always said that 6502 Assembly is the most crossplatform language ever.. there is an NES emulator available for far more platforms than the JVM.

Yeah... with that attitude I wouldn't be surprised to find out that you're the one responsible for the f00f bug.
Amazon sells books branded as "Barnes & Noble Classics" and B&N sells books branded with "amazon" all the time.
Except that Apple doesn't hold any multitouch patents. They *license* them from Synaptics

Reddit also switched from memcachedb to Cassandra for their kvstore. From research to launch took 10 days.

Actually, it looks like the moron parents bought this and painted it black themselves.
Apple poached a bunch of employees from Delicious Monster... then went ahead and cloned their interface for the upcoming iBookshelf on the iPad.
True, but Apple needs to approve you, your company must have at least 500 FTEs, and it costs 3 times as much as the standard developer license.
Maybe you should put security laminate on those windows..
No kidding.. I bet when the power goes out he starts raving about the thousands of dollars worth of equipment in his house that is now USELESS!
and it's not. This bug has nothing to do with the network and everything to do with bad firmware.
The ps3 slims aren't affected... and single player games aren't the only thing this firmware bug is affecting, it also corrupts peoples themes.
There *are* parental controls on the iPhone.

You can connect a camera to the iPad the same way you can connect a camera to iPhoto. It's not a webcam, it can pull photos and that's it.

So because Apple has even more exclusive control, it's okay?
