Aww, you mean a CEO can't stay rich by giving away other people's creations for free? What a tragedy.

Uh, desktop web shortcuts? Didn't I have this in Windows 98 and IE 5?

Facebook would have been nothing if it weren't for the popularity of Myspace. Facebook also would have been nothing had Myspace continued to innovate and grow, giving users fewer compelling reasons to switch.

Disappointed to see that it is just a plug for someone's toy app, rather than something genuinely interesting or weird.

This really isn't any different than any credit card application. The arbitration clause is buried in the fine print of those as well.

Great unbiased journalism: "Apple designs Macs, the best personal computers in the world, along with OS X, iLife, iWork and professional software."

Strange journalism, there isn't any quotes in the article that actually cite competition from Apple as the reason for the closure. Editorialized?

When will Apple respond to bad press directly instead of hiding behind this clown?

Yes, I can't imagine how anyone would expect people to take them seriously when they write blatant fanboy crap like this, while commenting about Apple's competition.

I wonder how many times he rolled in his grave when his vindicator Caldera went on to become the SCO headed by Darl McBride.

...if you think children's vitamins are sexy.

Sure, you could do all that with iPads and Wifi, but have you actually tried it? I suspect the usability will not match up, due to a slew of technical issues and lag.

Well, you are doing nothing to dissuade the apple haters that stereotype mac people as smug, conceited hipsters.

"Apple is watering down computing" has been the principle argument governing the PC v. Mac holy war since the Macintosh made its debut. Nothing has changed.

Yes, this would be tons more philanthropic and if it were just readable. Just some simple line breaks and variable names that meant something. It's not impressive that you can just cram stuff into 99 lines.

The daily mail is a sensationalist tabloid rag. Most of the article is probably BS.

A Job Queue is a great thing to have, especially when it provided for you, but it's hardly "revolutionary."

Yep...actually a pretty trivial example of Fourier analysis.

"Maybe Adobe is used to Windows users accepting this level of user insult."

Why are mac people always so freakin arrogant?

Well, its only got 128MB ram and flash storage...so there is no virtual memory I suspect. I'm sure the OS takes a big chunk of memory, with the possibility of background tasks eating up more. With a garbage collected system, I'm sure you'd routinely see performance hits when the garbage collector runs as it frantically tries to free storage with low and fragmented memory conditions. Not to mention the extra battery drain to constantly scan the freeable pointers. This is an embedded device with big limitations...you need to be more mindful of resources.

Why are you pushing files with rsync with a working copy? That is what "export" is for. There is no special security in the .svn folder, because you are not supposed to publish it to the website.

I hate the whole argument of the "problem" of hanging/dangling pointers as reason for GC. Is GC only for covering up your n00b mistakes? GC will never be a reasonable management scheme for realtime or limited memory systems, where programmer responsibility and predictable behavior is required.

What problem are they trying to solve? A non-Applfied itunes-like app, that doesn't force you to install quicktime and iPodService.exe and other crapware.

What market are they after? Well, I might consider buying an iPod now that it isn't tethered to freakin iTunes.

oh, is that all?

Misleading. The file is not actually a recording, but a set of parameters to drive a simulation. It's really just a glorified MIDI file.

...and now you know why the arab sheiks ship their Lamborghini's to Britain for an oil change

Also, how to build a Wankel Rotary Engine:

...and for those who have never seen a programming language ever. Do they really need arrows that point to comments that say, "This is a comment"?
