Come on. I knew before I tried it that the results would be abysmal. Any moron can do better with a mouse and Gimp.
Why would you bother posting such a story, with such ambivalent, destructive results to the processing of the image? I'm sure there are idiots out there that would use it. Darwinism wins again.
...for the inevitable third-party plug-ins that'll disable all of these new policy disables (if that makes sense). Just like all of the telemetry shit they brought out initially. Thank the gods for ethical hackers.
Non-story? Bullshit! I'm a freelance composer myself. If Apple uploaded files from my computer (forget about deleting them!), and tried to resell them to me -- and to others! -- I'd sue their asses into the twenty-second century! Man, I'm usually pretty restrained and laid-back in my posts, but this really pisses me off. I hope someone out there is following up with a lawsuit if this happened to them.
Seriously... my facebook avatar is the standard anonymous user... with a goatee added for "veracity". I won't even go into details about the crap I've had to put up with from LinkedIn about the fact that my photograph isn't a real one. They've deleted it so many times it's a chore re-upping it in and of itself, but worth it.
I can't count the amount of times I've looked forward to a talk online, expecting a video (Vimeo, Youtube, whatever) of the talk, only to be presented with a series of bullet points on slides that mean absolutely squat to me, and leave out the meat and potatoes of the actual content.
Pardon my French, but Fuck PowerPoint.
Say what you'd like about Jobs, he was definitely in touch with what makes it for creative minds and innovative, inspiring spaces.
I've worked in many different ad agencies over the years, and the ones that brought out the best in me (aside from the like-minded co-conspirators, the good pay, the appreciation from both clients and over-seers) had this type of influential, outside-the-box aura about their domains. Whether it was a full-sized basketball hoop in the creative department, the nooks and crannies for one-on-one art director/copywriter collaboration, the amenities and sheer discorporation of the space, or the openness of the overall layout, there's something about a well-wrought, well-thought-out and inviting creative space that invites a mass of creative thinking, and ensures that the creation of great art is foremost.
Look, let's face it: Apple bagged this one. Not only did they bury the link at the bottom of the page, but the "apology" wasn't even a football field close to what the judges mandated. I'm not an Apple fan, but neither am I a detractor; I use them if I need to (in studio) or not (at home). This bullshit, however, regarding their wording and their Samsung bashing, is at the least a middle-finger-up at the justices that deemed it useful and fair, and at the most a whole boot-up-the-ass to everyone involved, including the public at large.
If they had thought to not monkey around with the decision, play fair by the ruling mandated at them, and kept the marketing dweebs out of the mix, none of this would have happened. They'd have a tiny little banner at the bottom of their page leading to a fair and impartial relation of the facts... a banner that, in almost all cases, no one would bother clicking on in the first place.
Looks good on you, Apple, I've got to say. Nice way to screw up an almost meaningless ruling.
It's not worth it personally to people to hassle other people who want to get in, so unless there is a HUGE, HUGE deal about that being at the level of burning children and eating them...
Who the HELL wastes children that way?! That's just sick.
Children are meant to be basted lightly over low heat, not flash-burned like a marshmallow. Wise up, people!
I just wrote to my Member of Parliament (I'm in Canada, eh?) to recommend the same thing here. I don't have anything on my Facebook page, nor Twitter, LinkedIn, or anywhere else I'd not like someone to see (some really bad web-page designs, but they just don't go in the book.;-P ) but NO potential employer has the right to ask for my personal information. If you can't ask if I'm a seventy-six year old gay Catholic of Scottish extraction, you can't ask for this either... and if you do, I'll be spinning you on my upraised finger as I walk out of your door.
This assumes that the cops actually care about 'small' crimes like stolen cell phones.
One of the networks ran a story about this problem; the major issue cited wasn't the theft itself (although that in itself is a couple hundred bucks of merchandise lost to the owner), but the ancillary violence and battery that goes along with the thefts/muggings that are too often associated with these crimes.
It's one thing to have your phone scooped from a table while you're in the can; it's another to be kicked and beaten to within an inch of your life for it.
Actually, you do. Unless, of course, you want to code your animations by hand. Go ahead. Me, I'd much rather use Flash, and then Swiffy them out. Much cleaner, much easier.
Imagine The Lord of the Rings where all the Hobbits had Brooklyn accents.
Hey, you lookin' at me? You lookin' at me, orc? I'll take ya downtown, punk. I tellya, dis Minas Tirif ting, it's ours, man. Don't even TINK about goin' dere!

I used to sell computer systems.
I actually took that call.
That's fucked up. I like it!
"Scheduled restarts."
What's the problem? I've never run into it. And I hated the idea of moving to Windows 10.
All right, someone mod this up, please! Just right. Although, most people do suck... lol.

Holy. Fucking. Shit. ;-D
... when you find the fucking thing.
Fucking right.

Great job, Jobs. Put this one in the win column.

Exactly right. Standard TL12 infantry weapon.
Does the fact that I remember this, but not where I left the gas can for my lawnmower, mean anything?
Unfortunately, yes. Take heart, however: Heinleinian rejuvenation can't be far around the corner...

Yes, but it will only be officially supported for up to and including 4.x. After that, Android will be Flash-free, too.
That's why they came up with data URI's. Bless their souls. ;-)

At least it's not fucking pink ponies again.
In this case, I'd take the fucking pink ponies. I'm not a Jobs fan, per say, but NO ONE should be posthumously represented by Ashton Kutcher.
We don't need yout stinky Flash!
Actually, you do. Unless, of course, you want to code your animations by hand. Go ahead. Me, I'd much rather use Flash, and then Swiffy them out. Much cleaner, much easier.
