I think one of the appeals of TM1 was that it WAS a native Mac app and felt like one. Qt apps never 'feel' completely native, so if you went down that path you'd end up with an awk…

Depending on the configuration, it can be accessed from a remote computer. In this case, it was configured for localhost access, however it is entirely possible that it could be wo…

You probably didn't need to copy and paste the entire error message. You can easily access the webpage through Google's cache if you're having problems – http://webcache.googleuser…

A lot of EA's stuff is ported to Mac with Cider/TransGaming. From memory The Sims 3 is done that way.

I'm all for Assange's senate bid, but given he doesn't seem to have declared/decided which state/territory he will be running for the Senate in, I'm curious as to how these data ca…

Just as an aside, you get free registration with App Hub as a student via DreamSpark (or at least you did about a year ago; I assume it's still the case.)

I'm pretty sure for .au domains you need to have a connexion with the domain (either it being your name or the name of a registered business you own.)

To be fair, it's pretty horrid on OS X as well - several of these issues apply cross-platform (iTunes WiFi sync error messages are presented to me on a daily basis running Lion, fo…

I'm not sure about US law, but in Australia the directors could be personally in breach of their statutory duties by (even symbolically) approving such a transaction without checki…

Oh, my mistake - that is actually the title. Thanks.

Unless the title of the blog post has been changed since submission to HN, why the editorialised title? Edit: I've since learnt that that is actually the title of the post. It stil…

I'm just the messenger – by no means am I in any way associated with HN.

You'll probably need to start a new account, unfortunately – there doesn't appear to be any protocol for being 'unhellbanned'.

pferreir, just a heads-up - you've been hellbanned. This means all of your comments are automatically marked as [dead], but you can't see this.

Ahh, I didn't encounter any profanity… that sounds like quite an unfortunate situation.

What on earth was so inappropriate?

I was under the impression that the iOS kill-switch was exclusively for rogue apps/malware. Has it been used for legally questionable apps before? A bit of Google-fu didn't turn an…

Google Reader provides subscription management and stuff, so it does have server-side features. This app allows you to access those subscriptions.

I'm missing a whole bunch of keys – I previously had about 4 keys registered, now it's just one.

You didn't read the article: > Tapping on links will launch Mobile Safari, which jumps > out of your standalone app. There's a way to prevent that > and make it load inside the sta…

Thanks very much – I am indeed trying from Australia. Seems insane that they're breaking URLs in an attempt to serve us 'local' content.

The two linked popsci.com pages are both giving 404 errors for me – are you able to find a working link? They look interesting! (Technically speaking, the web server is returning 2…

Haha, hi there! Perhaps I was a little harsh in my comment - I really do like your site.
