The amazing thing is that they probably could have made a go at it focusing on paying out more to artists (despite the fact that it's not the fault of competing services for negoti…

Thanks! I agree, some things were surprising. I'm really bummed that the null tests were affected by source audio amplitude, plus the frame size causing alignment issues—I feel lik…

Hey all, I did a technical breakdown of high-fidelity audio recently for our company and thought that it might be of interest to hackers. I'm especially interested in ideas & criti…

Chris, the position: fixed z-index issue is more widespread than you have there; I'm trying to come up with a case for reliable repro, but I just bumped into it a bit ago and had t…

There's an "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder that'll do that, but it's still annoying to have to use one special folder instead of just pointing it at my regular download folder…

Hm, that's a good point: "warning fatigue" that users get. I hadn't thought about it from that point of view; I guess how fatiguing it is will really depend on how quickly develope…

Right, which would be rendered pretty ineffective by Gatekeeper, now, at least for people that don't know about the launch-from-disk trick or other workarounds (basically, the same…

You're misunderstanding. An app can be freely available outside of the App Store but still be signed: http://www.macworld.com/article/165408/2012/02/mountain_lion...

Really? Because I can't, at all, and I'd rather not be proven wrong as I'd loathe it as much as you would (but it sounds like it's not like you'd upgrade anyway).

Nope, you'll be able to run it: "Finally, it’s important to note that because Gatekeeper uses the File Quarantine system, it only works the very first time you try to launch an app…

Yeah, well, until that happens, this is great and I'm all for it. What a simple way to improve dealing with the open attack vector that is "the user being able to install their own…

Right, I meant they're unusual for Big Fruit. And also, the period between this reveal and release this summer is equally unusual... I'd say that the lag between announce & release…

I had a couple comments on Gruber's posting, but one of the things that really jumped out at me about this hands-on is the Notification Center trigger taking Spotlight's coveted to…

Hm. * The "Gatekeeper" concept is interesting, but I expect we'll hear a lot of grumbling about the default setting. We also all remember the concern about the App Store eventually…

BusyCal is what I'm recommending to all of our Mac-based employees and what I use on my personal machines to handle dozens of calendars across several Google & Google Apps accounts…

This is misleading. This quote isn't in a response to the latest discussion about the location database file, but the title and Slashdot link both make it seem that way. Also, plea…

You have. For example: http://www.icab.de/mobile.html Maybe this was a restriction in the past, I'm not sure, but I've been happily running iCab Mobile for quite some time and enjo…

Should be quite interesting; here in NYC my wife and I do about 75% of our grocery shopping through FreshDirect which nets us fresher, more local, and all-around better produce & m…

This is great. Bought, downloaded, and have some initial impressions. My background is that I do a metric crap load of arranging, primarily for the New York Holiday Singers ( http:…

A lot of "may," "potentially," "considering," and other weasel words in that article, no?

Sure; there are a couple out there. Lifehacker's was the most straightforward and detailed. The process is much the same as jailbreaking. http://lifehacker.com/5572003/how-to-downg…

Same, with both the upgrade and a full restore, and my phone is stock (no jailbreak.) A good friend had great success with his after iOS4, so it's not affecting everyone. I followe…

DNN is a heap. My God, is it a codebase trainwreck. Apologies to any DNN devs that may be HNers, but holy cow is that an example of how serpentine code gets when you try to be all …
