I think the first (or first couple) AOC relied on JSON input more. I assumed Eric (the creator) moved away from JSON to have a level playing field and simplify parsing (and potentially build dependencies) across various…
It uses way less memory for me with a handful of accounts. Five tabs of Gmail probably used a couple gigs of memory when left open for weeks. It's only been a day but 5 accounts in Mimestream is only using 350 megs of…
The beta version seemed like it had pretty poor performance: https://www.jeremydaly.com/aurora-serverless-data-api-a-firs... Does anyone have performance feedback now that it is no longer beta?
The GPL does not require source code to be "publicly available". IMO the basic premise of the GPL is that users who receive the program/app/whatever may also get the source code, modify it, and further distribute under…
id Software is also the copyright holder of the games and can choose to license the game or parts of the game out however they want and as often as they want. They did have the occasional issue where they were using…
I think Segways are great for sightseeing tours, and I've done (and enjoyed) a couple on my travels. Segways basically created a new way to sightsee. I can't imagine how tours would be able to operate 12-15 mile 2 hour…
One trick that seems to have made it easier for me is changing the question from "Do/Should/Can I go to the gym today?" (which is just an opportunity to come up with excuses) to "How do I go to the gym today?". It seems…
If you view the music video on their website, they appear to incorporate the some of the photos taken alongside the video. http://www.androp.jp/brightsiren/ The YouTube video seems to be just the music video but the…
Apple will batch small transactions below a certain threshold and within a certain window. I believe this is an effort to counteract transaction fees.
Is this with or against livingsocial.com?
My guess is that this is just an implementation optimization. Probably analogous to lookupd caching DNS lookups. The developers probably didn't think anything of it. Even lookupd caches could be represented in similar…
The iPhone (3G, 3GS, and 4) and the 3G iPads have fully functional GPS hardware, and also use A-GPS to acquire a position fix. If you've ever used a normal standalone GPS in one city and gotten on a plane and flown…
I think the iPad could be Apple's set top box. You can see pieces of it in place already. - content: The recent apps from TimeWarner and Comcast. iTunes is obviously another source. Games are another source of content.…
Originally the ITU ruled that neither WiMax or LTE were 4G in October: http://www.infoworld.com/d/mobilize/4g-defined-wimax-and-lte... Which meant neither Sprint's or Verizon's network were 4G, but that didn't stop them…
I just returned from a very similar tour (Cairo to Aswan to Luxor, skipped Dahab), probably one week before you. The tour was in Dahab last week. Maybe we crossed paths as our group was leaving and your group was…
And going forward with the AppStore, users can still download and install from a .dmg or a .pkg as they do now. Your .deb could satisfy dependency requirements, but it won't be able to take advantage of "check for…
I just don't feel that the AppStore is all that different from package managers on Linux. If you need something, you run Synaptic/yum/aptitude/whatever. Sometimes, you can't find what you're looking for and you go…
One possible reason to restrict would be that they used the event as sort of a beta test for streaming/live broadcasting infrastructure/process. Sort of like Gmail with the invites. Artificially restrict access, so you…
As a trade off, you can play on any other computer. But doesn't Steam also work similarly?
Regarding #1, if you click and hold on a link, a little pop up comes up displaying the URL and options to open, open in a new tab, and to copy the URL.
The Nexus One is a poor example. It suffered it's own 3G related issues and also suffers similar signal degradation as the iPhone 4: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/android/thread?tid=0c0... There was a little bit…
I just picked up a cert from GoDaddy a couple weeks ago. I don't have any issues with FireFox, Chrome, Safari on OSX, and no problems with IE8 on XP. Guess I'll have to check the other combinations later. I would double…
Mashable isn't responsible for that. Facebook is. When you view any sort of "group" on Facebook, Facebook will randomly (or maybe not so randomly) show one of your friends if your friends are in that "group". Quite…
I agree that injury may not be big with consumers, but I can imagine scenarios where the leak is damaging with business partners/suppliers/vendors. For example, if Apple is negotiating pricing for current models and…
Seems like maybe iBooks was intended to be a "first class" app but they couldn't make the schedule to make the OS image, so they decided to distribute it over iTunes.
