This really wouldn't be the first time.
Looks like you've been featured on LifeHacker. Not bad for a weekend project. http://lifehacker.com/5829786/tv-size-matters-lets-you-try-n...
Although Gruber is summing it up based on a developer's words, they do state this ridiculous data collection in their privacy policy (which is an implied agreement, based on your downloading of the app).…
I moved to the Chicago area around a little over a year ago and this feature has been around at least that long. It's also available by enabling the "Transit" layer under the "More..." button, and also the transit layer…
I want to agree with you so badly (and to some extent, I suppose I do), but any time I consider the margin of users you could "safely" exclude, I consider the competitor who does not.
I didn't down vote, but here's a shot in the dark: The post concerns Deal Score, something that was added to SeatGeek which aggregates sale prices of seats over time into a general price range and ranks the current sale…
Perhaps in relation to this patent (and a host of others, I'm sure)... METHOD FOR CREATING A PEER-TO-PEER IMMEDIATE MESSAGING SOLUTION WITHOUT USING AN INSTANT MESSAGING SERVER…
I recall creating my password for Verified by Visa, but never successfully entering it again. It's never stopped me from getting the goods and getting charged, though.
Neopets was bashed for some time with claims that the games they produced were similar to gambling games. I think it proves prior art in and of itself. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neopets
Close - Dodgeball was created in 2000 and acquired by Google in 2005. In 2009, they discontinued Dodgeball in favor of Google Latitude. It looks as though prior art existed well before Facebook even existed. I don't…
Strangely, I didn't like seeing the "We don't spam." I didn't even suspect it with a cell number. I understand it's a small website and all, but perhaps a tiny privacy policy would be better? More thoughts: It occured…
Not to downplay a rather interesting vulnerability, but why does it matter if someone figures out where you are? As much as I love my own real (not internet) privacy, I don't depend on people not knowing where I am. The…
It's an issue of passion, I think. Compare Apple fans to that of the XBox or PS3. For some horrible reason, people will defend to the bitter end their console of choice. Nothing is gained or lost in these arguments, the…
Agreed completely. Not only is this not even news, it's not worth caring about... it's just a squabble with TC being the loudmouth, rallying it's readers against some target we're supposed to care about because they…
I find it particularly noteworthy due to fact that this blog has one page for desktop and mobile, and it fits damn near perfectly in both. In Android 2.1, the only things that don't stack up exactly right are the…
It is standard practice for Apple to request confidentiality from the FCC. But the request has been viewed as curious by some, considering that prototypes of the near-final iPhone 4 design were publicly disassembled,…
Nothing like a post on Daring Fireball to keep the iPhone/Android loyalty war on the front page of HN. Does any of this really matter?
> Kassewitz searched for nearly two years to find a touchscreen device that dolphins could reliably activate with their rostrum (or beak), while still being powerful enough to record or play back the high frequency…
> As another commenter noted, yes, it's far too draining to research a company and manufacture a B.S. cover letter. Look, we're professionals here. I applied to your position because it looks like a good fit for my…
Quite frankly, I'm not even surprised anymore. Every month a developer uncovers a new piece of the mysterious approval puzzle.
What about it?
Much like the search industry, this isn't exactly Microsoft's forte[1]. I think they see the benefit in shipping something fresh, given that they're not exactly at risk of going much lower. 1:…
I was thinking earlier today how useless and tired these topics have become. Mentioning any of the three has too much potential to spark arguments that quickly devolve into gadget he said/she said. I don't know how…
I like how it looks on the outside as an experiment, but it obviously can't be sustained without rules -- surely they won't let someone come in, take everything for a penny, and leave? It has the stench of a publicity…
I'm sorry to rain on that parade, but that last paragraph is really glued on there. I don't disagree with the sentiment, but that exposition went straight in to a brick wall.
This really wouldn't be the first time.
