    All I see is that users get a Dropbox app pre-installed, with 25GB of storage. iCloud gives the user transparent storage of data, apps can use the same APIs on all iOS devices (whe…

    Even funnier, the military used it in the Iraq war to communicate. http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/11.06/battlefield_pr.html "We'll be in the middle of a battle and a bunch of f…

    The new XCode 4.2 and presumably the next versions of it do not ship with a real GCC, which is one of the things mentioned in the article. This causes problems for software that do…

    Right, so we have to rely on leaks in the future to get visibility on how our rights are being stripped away, this is the democratic process our predecessors shed blood for? Am rem…

    I agree, though I'd probably suggest working from a simple zshrc for starters ("man zshall" is also your friend). I just spent a bit of time yesterday tweaking information in my pr…

    It's fairly obvious what they should do: apologise publicly and to the people who they misrepresented themselves to. Not in the Anglosphere where the actual people affected will ne…

    SAP deployments must work in some cases, surely. I read somewhere that a large part of Apple's supply chain management is built on SAP, as well as being the system of record for iT…

    I love spelunking problems like this, it's quite the rush when you finally crack it.

    iTunes, however, is available in my country. I'm sure we'd get the stock answer claiming they're working as hard as they can to bring it. In a year or three.

    Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but even after reading the instructions & watching the video I'm getting odd results which don't match what is in the video at all. I realize…

    Not available outside of the US (except for the crippled non-touch version). Poor, poor strategy. That's essentially gifting the market to iOS/Android. I sure as hell won't wait un…

    This is not the pricing model used in African countries. So the price of the handset does matter. As I understand it, most mobile phones in Africa are pre-paid, using per-second bi…

    Agreed with (2). I actively create patches and submit it to them whenever I run into a problem, and I will keep doing so, because it's typically only a few days until it gets merge…

    Would be interested to see this broken down by country as well, if possible. I'm not doing too badly even when currency conversion is taken into account, but the number of people o…
