I don't know who they were referring to in the report, although you could probably contact them to inquire about the specifics. But just by quickly searching Google I found quite a…

The report states that there were over 25 instances in a two-month period in which journalists in the US were beaten and/or arrested while on the job, with charges such as "public …

My complaint about the bio is that Isaacson had exclusive access to Jobs for at least a dozen multi-hour sessions, and yet there's actually very little content in the bio that hasn…

What are you claiming is the "real problem?" I'd argue that the housing market in CPH is no more scarce than any major city, and the only reason it seems so to you is because you w…

The problem is that you sent e-mail instead of calling. I had the same experience in a nearby city, sending 30-40 emails for every 1 response. I finally decided to get a prepaid SI…

A few points on this post: 1) You don't have to sync offline tracks with the Spotify desktop software; you can mark playlists as "available offline" directly within the mobile app …

As far as I can tell, the iPhone cannot determine one's location solely from the GPS antenna. If you travel to a place where you haven't been before, location services simply won't…

It's a common scenario in Europe. It's not "exotic" to take a €39 train ride from Paris to Brussels to visit for the weekend. I don't think it's a privacy concern to store such dat…

I often travel internationally (with no data roaming) and I've noticed that the iPhone's A-GPS is incapable of determining my location when I arrive in a new place, even if I've pr…

Why would writing a simple export feature set you back months? Sounds like something that could be done by one person in an afternoon.

Are you still going to support http://mobile.nytimes.com ? I'd be happy to pay for a subscription, but I don't like the smartphone apps and strongly prefer reading the mobile site …

Nowadays, a significant portion of those "bandwidth abusers" are people who are just watching movies and TV shows on Netflix. The use of Netflix instant streaming has grown tremend…

This is great to know, but it seems like a lot of unnecessary work on our part to make it work. That means for each file we have to manually create and upload a compressed version,…

Thanks for your response; this is fantastic news!

That's exactly how MaxCDN and SimpleCDN work, but Cloudfront and Rackspace Cloud don't pass through requests from your own server; rather, they require you to manually upload the f…

Is anyone else having the same issue with these services as I am - namely that Rackspace Cloud (and Amazon Cloudfront) do not support gzip compression? That means that any advantag…

Linking the coupon codes to affiliate links via onClick so that you're forced to click on them in order to copy/paste the code.

Yeah, same here. It seems a bit buggy; a couple more examples: it's impossible to say you live in Paris, France (only random cities elsewhere in the world named Paris), I can't tur…

A very important and effective technique in teaching others (regardless of the subject) is to never write or display something that's wrong, because it's often the only thing a stu…

You're going to make those types of generalizations based on a blog that just started and has two posts?

I don't think it's ever a good idea to make a headline more sensational. We should wait for a response from Microsoft before declaring them liars/cheaters. It's entirely possible t…
