Like many companies, yes. However, unlike many companies, they actually have a process where you can submit your "weekend projects" for Google to review and "gain back" explicit ownership of them. Basically Google just…
Fascinating! Serious question: could this turn JavaScript (technically Walt) into a serious language for scientific computation? That now runs in any browser? E.g. Python is used a lot together with NumPy/SciPy, but for…
Considering Apple has been making old hardware even more performant, that doesn't seem to be their goal at all. I brought my out-of-warranty iPhone to the store last week because its battery was swelling, and they…
What?! It's criminal fraud, it's illegal and should be illegal period. Your argument is extremely dangerous, it's no different from "of course you got robbed and beaten, what are you expecting when you walk into a…

But... phone apps already do all those things, so I don't get what you're complaining about. My point is, apps already seem to be doing the right things. So what's some kind of new manifesto needed for? What is supposed…
Responding to you and everyone else using weather as an example: NO, I don't EVER want cached weather data! In fact, it drives me nuts that when I look up the weather on my iPhone to see what the current temperature is…
This is a great post, and it's a good illustration of the difference between fun hacking/project buildling, and actually creating a business around software. The ugly fact is, when you're creating a startup, only about…
