Yup, I'm aware and working on it.

My 2008 (Core 2 Duo) MBP died last week and I figured I'd upgrade rather than repair it (I felt the Core 2 Duo was aging fast). I borrowed my mother's low-end MBA for the time bein…

it is surprising because most people probably expect NSArray to just work like a plain array (see the naive C implementation)

The thing is, this team at Engadget has a really tight bond with its core fans ... their podcasts were more like listening in on a conversation between best friends rather than for…

Lots of people say iStore.

This actually looked and performed great on the iPad 2. (You just couldn't move the shadow around)

I have totally been working on a site that would recommend music based on what your friends have been listening to. Similar to this, except it didn't have the great idea of trackin…

yeah same. using a 2006 iMac ... I'm assuming its a graphics card problem? The site says all of the graphics are rendered on the GPU...

Seriously, I recommend Riak to anyone who wants to experiment with NoSQL. I am using Riak w/ some MySQL and Riak is just SUCH a pleasure to use.

it would be nice, though. You know there would only be two plans: $25 limited and an unlimited plan (for who knows how much, $50? $60?)
