I dug up Apple's reorg announcement from 1997, where Steve Jobs was officially brought on as an "advisory" role to then-CEO Gil Amelio. http://web.archive.org/web/19990128084705/ht…

I completely agree with your point, but that's not a problem of renters, per se. If the city of San Francisco (where my wife and I live) made a committed effort to build a stable s…

Not to be too glib, here's another impressively depressing stat: 56% of Americans don't have a problem with the recent NSA tracking revelation and a significant plurality would be …

Mule Radio (I work there, you may know us as home of John Gruber's The Talk Show) donated $1000 to the EFF to help fight this patent. You can, too. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/20…

Just wanted to say thanks for such an insightful, nuanced response.

Ease off on the rhetoric. I'm not accusing anyone of anything, I don't think anyone did anything illegal and, for what it's worth, I thought the Times' lawyering was dumb and hamfi…

So, the ends justify the means and it's all good because at least his startup got some publicity? Even if the "publicity" turns out to be a net win, what a terrible way to conduct …

I'm not a lawyer and my understanding of fair use seems to be about as poor as everyone's. What Scrollkit did, though, was tacky, plain and simple. They built an impressive product…

And the aggregate affect of a crowd full of people instagramming just about every moment of a concert means I basically watch live shows through the screens of other people's phone…

This was exactly my big gripe with the story, particularly Swisher's insistence on writing it as "rags to riches" (even using that very well worn cliche verbatim). The fact is, Sys…

Yes. The authors like CBV's and make a strong case for why you would want to use them. Like you, I found CBV's to be wanting, particularly generic views, and all but gave up. A com…

Reading the utterly passive tone of the OP, with Webkit somehow "emerging" out of KHTML all on its own, nary a mention of Apple, makes it pretty obvious this move is mostly about p…

Made by Sandwich Video http://sandwichvideo.com They do the best (and most imitated) promotional work for tech companies going.

This is so well stated. It's something I (age 34, married, no kid(s) (yet)) think about a lot. I live and work in a city (San Francisco) and in an industry (web developer) where be…

"Delightful" is the trend word I'm waiting to die

Fair warning: 2 Scoops definitely assumes some familiarity with how Django works, specifically models, views, templates, and forms. It won't introduce these concepts to you but wil…

Hot dog. I've been working on a small side project the past week or so using the 1.5 RC and following along the best practices recommended by 2 Scoops of Django -- https://django.2…

That was my first thought as well. And then I started wondering why they are automating so much setup on OS X itself instead of using something like Vagrant for dev stuff. I find O…

I get what you're saying. I think your response captures one part -- the id, if you will -- of a pretty common refrain I've heard about this article amongst my other nerdy, SF dwel…

> I don't really know the history of Django but I'd wager it took a lot of inspiration from Rails. Not exactly. Django mainly came into existence as a formalization of a lot of hel…

It takes a highly developed sense of cynicism to see a transparent effort to curb child labor as an attempt to hurt their competitors. Furthermore, Apple has publicly committed to …

I'm not sure "deserve" is the right way to consider it, more like "what is the social value of billionaires?" Or, why isn't the marginal tax rate on $1B+ 100%. I don't have much to…

Using em instead of px for media queries is definitely a bit of a mindmelter at first. However, if you're truly interested in building a responsive site, not just hitting a few tar…
