You're quite right. Switching from a db to a log as the "master" loses the simplicity of the app-to-db model. As the article says: "For now, a better option is to extract the log f…

Have to agree - despite the good reviews, the keypress on the 4000 feels wrong. I was on the Microsoft Natural Elite for a long time. Unfortunately it's been discontinued so I need…

> if it turns out to be negligence on Apple's part, I'll be very angry I doubt you'll need to get angry - because if it's negligence, you/we won't be told.

I just polled some friends on chat: - iPhone + Vodafone Bangalore - SMS notifications - inconsistent frequency - Galaxy Y + Airtel Bangalore - SMS alert only so it seems carrier/pl…

I have to say that it's (mostly) the carrier's fault. I have the same issue sometimes with Airtel India, and I'm pretty sure this notification was turned off 2 years. [ edit or may…

I & millions of others will be proving you wrong this winter. Though I can afford a $500-700 device, but I can't justify it. Meanwhile, one of the big battery life tips for smartph…

And callback "events" have been renamed to... "events". I'm going to have to agree with the parent here. Without example code to compare, how is this different than MVC? (or "MVCE"…

"Tech press ignores expected next phase of ICANN's gTLD sales." would be a more accurate title. Like a public good, the dilution costs of issuing gTLDs is externalized and paid by …

Also, take my money, Showtime!

Texts - a Markdown editor for Mac & Windows - http://www.textseditor.com/ I like that it's a true wysiwyg editor in that you actually edit rich text instead of typing the markdown …

Better to ignore revenue and be thought worthless, than to attempt to make money and remove all doubt. (paraphrasing)

Possibly similar: I accidentally had flashblock disabled, and a malicious flash ad on wired.com performed many MB of requests and then redirected me to another site after 5-10 seco…

Cmd-` only switches windows of the current app. So, even if you see your window, you can't switch to it with Cmd-`.

The window is the unit of focus (not apps), so I can rightly argue that switching focus should work on the unit of focus i.e. windows. Note that I'm not arguing against having an a…

> Having the application's functionality split across two completely separate menus does not constitute a usability improvement. That's putting it mildly. A split menu may be corre…

Thank you for pointing me to X-Frame-Origin! So, in the context of this discussion, why don't the browsers make X-Frame-Origin: DENY the default behavior?????

I don't want the legitimate uses prevented. The default behavior should be to prevent, and the legitimate uses should explicitly opt-in. That way, you only have to do security anal…

I have no problem with cross-site GET requests because I know GETs should behave as 'read-only' anyway for lots of reasons. What I don't get is how arbitrary cross-site POSTs with …

CSRF is like a kafka-esque joke. Here's my take away from every CSRF article: A malicious site will load your site in an iframe, fill in your form and post it. Fixing it requires s…

The real short answer seems to be: encryption is done client-side by Javascript. I'd worry about the extra attack vectors because of that - man in the middle, snooping browser exte…

What I meant was: I wish they had gone with at least 2 copies offsite. Sorry for the ambiguity. And you're right - 2 copies would mean 1TB out of 3TB.

I wish they had gone with At least 2 copies offsite - that was one of my first thoughts too. Then I remember that I used to do backups at most once a year until I moved to the Mac …

Yes, bandwidth is a concern, but it should be easy to let users choose bandwidth limits. The question then is whether the product is still useful if it takes 10/20/30 months to fil…
