Should we hold you to the same standard, then? That you're not allowed to fix your mistakes after they've been pointed out to you, because you're aware of every mistake you've ever…

Technically, the client did err, as it performed a request that is not legally permitted in its jurisdiction. For example, this response could be used for geographically-limited re…

Although I have my fair share of hesitance at worshiping cloud services, the fact that a service is "cloud" has nothing to do with the quality of its architecture. You can make a c…

Thank you, editing in to back up.

Best solution here would appear to be never sync that iPad again, back it up to iTunes, disable its Wi-Fi, and consider it her speech appliance. Don't update the OS, don't sync to …

Even if Justin Beiber himself is clueless (and I don't think he is), the people around him are experts at creating a product that appeal to their target demographic. The most succe…

Good points. I hadn't thought about it from a supply chain perspective or that of cannibalizing sales. That's definitely a consideration.

I used to edit video in Avid on a Mac Pro. Multimedia usages will drink memory like water, and your system being more powerful directly implies that you get more work done. Less re…

Apple being as wealthy as it is implies, to the contrary, that it is not clueless.

My comment was a generality. For example, if Apple (or any company) tomorrow published: Q1 2013 (tentative) iOS 6.1 Q2 2013 (tentative) Mac Pro update Q3 2013 (tentative) iOS 6.2 D…

Does anybody else think secretive companies annoy customers more than open ones? A lot of bad feelings could have been avoided yesterday were this public information, without Tim h…

Daryl Oster's company has submitted proposals to Florida, at least, on building and maintaining a system such as this. I think part of the requirement for submitting such a proposa…

Safe to say that the terrorists have won, if the first eight comments on something as cool as this have to do with possible ways the terrorists can destroy it. What a depressing ne…

With honesty, what good will that do?

FunnyJunk is apparently responding quietly on their site, as just searching for the word 'oatmeal' results in no search results (that wasn't the case when this blog post went up). …

Remember how you were surprised I was accusing you of being a troll a while back? And you were adamant that you aren't, and that I had you all wrong? (Amusing, given your bio.) Now…

> I really liked the way it doesn't make the debate as "fiat" vs. non-fiat (as though fiat were a dirty term) When someone uses the word "fiat" in casual conversation with me (with…

"Sexism" and "creepiness" are not synonyms of each other.

Thank you for speaking up. Just as it's crucial that women not be silent when being excluded from tech, it's just as (if not more) imperative we hear that you're not feeling discri…

No. Most of my conversations revolve around my career, and I'm a system administrator. Bike shedding I had already identified to be a problem. Pedantry like this I'm starting to no…

Not just the last few weeks, the last few days. I was already drawing that conclusion before this disclosure, and internally speculating that the same group or person might be resp…
