I guess generating an email link doesn’t work for WSJ anymore. No wonder traditional media gets its back kicked in.

When it comes to podcasting, Marco and Gruber are on two different levels; I don't think Arment is jumping ship for the sake of money.

>Look, his post may be insightful and interesting

>I think what app.net is doing is interesting and great, just not these types of blog posts.

Nice contradiction. And perspective from someone who knows what he's talking about as a result of building a competitor is invaluable insight and quite interesting to me.

I don't get why you think Dalton is doing this solely for promotional purposes, but hey, you're entitled to your opinion.

Oh, and in response to your previous post: plenty of people are "carrying the water" and are calling Twitter out on their bullshit.

1. If you use a Retina display for even a week, the non-Retina display will look considerably worse when you switch back; you can't tell the difference until you actually use the device for an extended period.

2. I've heard from a few people that this is the case, but also that the iPad 4 charges faster, actually delivers on the 10-hour battery life claims and runs noticeably cooler.

Unrelated: I hate Gruber's pedantic style when it comes to Apple product names. Seriously, just write it the way Apple markets it.

I find his pricing strategy for the game rather interesting. The game is free to play and contains no ads, but for $0.99, you can upgrade to a "full" version and unlock a few extra features. I think this model will definitely attract a lot of people, but I'm curious as to how many people will actually decide to pay for that upgrade (I did after about 15 minutes with the game ‒ I love it.)

Jim Dalrymple hinted that there will be two separate events, so take that as you will (if you know him or are familiar with his infamous "Yep", then you should pretty much consider two separate events a guarantee.)

Seems like they're saying this: "If you plan on using the API like many people already use it, don't bother."

Also, what category would LinkedIn and Instagram's usage of the API fall under?

I wouldn't say it has been accused of being vaporware, but I think the reason some people aren't backing it is because they believe it may just be an API and nothing more (when in fact there's a working proof-of-concept alpha version).

Also, to those that've backed the project and want access to the alpha: email join@app.net and you'll be able to get in. :-)

Batch has received some updates, but there's been a lack of new features & updates over the past 6 months, and I've stopped using it because very few people are using it.

I can't help but agree with you and think they'll be shutting down relatively soon; both have been maintained less and less, and I highly doubt Airbnb wants to let the team continue working on either of them.

It'll load, but it won't allow you to sign in, Tweet, etc.

Not only is the website down, but it seems the entire API is as well.

Follow the link in the Tweet to read their official statement.

Also: why does HN mark .fm URLs as being spam?

Am I the only one who looks at foursquare and goes, "Meh?" I know some people love the service (the reason I checked it out was because Woz uses it all the time), but I just can't find a use for it.

Regardless, the redesigned application is really slick by any standards; awesome job to the team for making the UI much better than before (maybe that's one gripe I had that ruined my initial foursquare experience).

This should be published on both on your Twitter page and should be a post on The Next Web, not Google Docs.

And you learned the wrong lesson.

To me, it's not about the Twitter drama; it's about the way The Next Web poorly cited this piece and revised it without fixing the issue people had with it in the first place.

This doesn't change the fact that Zee was (pardon my language) a snarky asshole about it on Twitter.

But that's the thing: you didn't do more, and that's the problem here.

I don't see him as a troll. I see him as a guy who posted something he put a lot of effort into and ended up having his work reposted without even being justly credited. He has every right to be upset and share his story, and people deserve to know this.

P.S. Just stop with the Tweets, it's embarrassing not only you, but the publication you represent.

The author should have put quotes around the paragraphs that were blatantly copy and only slightly tweaked to show it came directly from the piece and wasn't written by Harrison.

Oh, and your Twitter response was laughably immature to me.

This is potentially the best post ever made on TechCrunch.

The article was posted back in February. I'm baffled as to why it's even on the front page of HN, considering this is a relatively old and known feature of the split keyboard. (Well, I was aware of it, at least.)
