Creating writing on iPads with one of the worst input methods among electronic devices? But it worked, they collected $10,000+. In some countries you can build a school with that instead of contributing to Apple's really fat margins.
Google can get away with this because OEMs/carriers get Android for free. If Apple or MS do this, AT&T, other carriers, HTC/Samsung etc. would cry foul. It might even be in the contract somewhere that they can't facilitate unlocking/jailbreaking.
Freetype is under a BSD style license. If it was GPL, then the whole of MS Office for Mac would've to be GPL'ed in order to comply. I guess that's what he meant when he said that.
Last week, after initially submitting on May 7th, I received a phone call from Apple to update me on the status of my submission.
The gentleman on the phone was courteous and polite, but his message was blunt. While I had not been officially rejected (at least, not yet), he asked me some questions and hoped to manage my expectations. Based on the information available to him, the reviewers believed Briefs contained a non-Apple interpreter and the first team initially rejected it for non-compliance with section 3.3.2 of the iPhone Developer Agreement. I’m still waiting to hear their final decision.
Doubt Microsoft employees directly run the code... they instead look at the assembly code to see what the reason for the crash was. Even otherwise, I am sure they use VMs with network access which are wiped and rolled back once testing is done.
I guess they find it when Microsoft analyzes the crash logs and is able to see the assembly code trying buffer overflows etc. Think core dump in Linux. I wouldn't think Microsoft would send the source code to themselves.
Since the MPEG LA wasn't yet collecting royalties on video streamed for free nothing has changed here.
We know you like to promote WebM at all costs but why all the FUD? Earlier the exemption was valid only till 2015, now it is forever. That's what the entire story is about.
First, why should it matter who exercises free speech? Why should there be limits on who can? Let alone why are some groups given exceptions from the law specifically in the bill?
Corporations are not people and have no need to exercise 'free speech', especially when they're expecting returns on their money spent after the elections.
Corporations trying to influence politics to their own end by spending part of their profits and then expecting returns after elections need not be protected by 'free speech' laws. The exceptions were put in place to appease Republicans so that they might vote for this bill. Something is better than nothing.

What was wrong with DOS as the bootloader? The upside is that single user DOS mode could be used as a recovery console, even allowing you to run DOS based applications without loading the full Windows.

This is common with regulation, since the benefits to a single given consumer from net neutrality are relatively minor, while the costs are bared by the companies.
Ugh! I don't want to see the companies baring anything!
Don't forget the articles were originally somewhere on a real site, where people read them (like, Huffington Post). And the Digg button was right there... so no small number of people would be sufficient to overwhelm even a moderate number of people who read a site regularly and used the Digg button. It's not like burying a story on Slashdot where you would have no way to know Slashdot might have been talking about a story.
That's one of the things that strikes me as really funny about the complaint, is that you naturally had large groups of people working moderations for a story just because of the Digg button. You could only bury stuff from small sites that no-one was visiting enough to Digg up anyway!
Nah, once buried, it stays buried, regardless of the 'diggs', original site or not.
From the alternet article:
When a story is buried, it is removed from the upcoming section (where it is usually at for ~24 hours) and cannot reach the front page,
But this, I think, is a fallacy. If a story's ranking is artificially inflated, then the extra eyeballs for that story have to come from somewhere, and they come from users paying less attention to the other stories that the phony up-and-comer pushed out of the way. Artificially bumping a story up is just as harmful as artificially burying a story, but the harm is distributed among many innocent victims, not just one.
Nah, burying skews votes by not allowing corrections. Lets imagine that there are 50 people who are gaming the system by being an organized collective and that Digg needs 50 buries to kill a story. If it was Reddit, the 50 downvotes could be balanced by, say 100 upvotes. But on Digg, not even 1000 'diggs' can counter the 50 buries. This allows a small group to have a significant chilling effect and effectively a veto on the content. Artificially bumping up is much less harmful.
So you see, Apple users can easily admit when Apple is doing something wrong, and in fact even correct you about why it is wrong - because we are thinking more rationally about the real problem, and not just about how much we hate Apple and hey here's an awesome negative article on something Apple is doing.

Steve Jobs is busy selling too many of these to even bother about the education market.
What about something like the new Dell tablet/netbook hybrid then?

I recently saw that that the a 'Restoring Truthiness' (Stephen Colbert rally) charity on DonorsChoose.org was requesting iPads.

The real reason is that malware authors cannot afford Macs :)

But Apple's policies have a chilling effect on the developer software industry, so that flexibility is basically useless.

Picking out MS and Intel in the headline was clearly meant to troll Slashdot. Google and almost every other big tech company gets a 'free pass' too.
The submission is from theodp... what did you expect, an anti-Amazon patent rant?
Google gets a 'free pass' too, not to mention almost every American company. Looks like the headline and summary were spinned to troll Slashdot.
