No, this definitely has things that have been uploaded from my iPhone address book.

Even if a manufacturer didn't go for him, I'd be very surprised if the licensing fees were being payed for the MP3 codec.

It's crazy to watch these videos and know that it was only 14 years ago. Apple has grown so much in a small amount of time, and steve has aged a lot getting them there.

Honestly I'm baffled as to why they need to raise funding. The game is still #2 & #5 on the app store, so they've got to have pretty significant revenue coming in.

This feels like expanding just for the sake of expanding. They should focus on what they're good at, which is making games. It doesn't take a large company to develop games like angry birds.

For recursion vs. looping, it really depends on what you're doing. In my js experience though, most of the time looping is either faster or equal to recursion, while being significantly easier to understand at a quick glance.

In this case, the loop will outperform recursion because of all of the slice calls in the recursive version.

Open up web inspector.

var arr = (paste)

arr.sort()

for(var i = 0;i<arr.length;i++){if(arr[i+1] == arr[i]){console.log(arr[i])}}

H.264 is already a part of every content producers workflow. It has very mature encoder support and it supported by every encoder that matters.

WebM's encoders that are available are very slow, and not supported or has very flaky support of most apps people are using out there.

What's going to happen, is chrome users are going to be served H.264 in a flash wrapper.

This move is not going to help kill flash, it's going to help extend it's life. If you think about it, it is not in googles best interest as an advertising company to kill flash. They'll have more trouble with content protection and are unable to overlay ads in fullscreen mode.

I'm going to do this, but instead of having photobooth open, I found a command line app to capture an image from the isight: http://www.intergalactic.de/pages/iSight.html

WebM is not that great technically (http://x264dev.multimedia.cx/archives/377) and is unlikely to remain royalty-free if it ever takes off as there are many patents that could apply to it's code.

H.264 will play in both flash and the browser. It's a standard codec that is used in most workflows already. On top of that, MPEG-LA has announced it will always be royalty free for video that is free to end users (http://www.macworld.com/article/153692/2010/08/h264_royaltie...).

There's no reason for Firefox and Opera to not pick up H.264. It is the only choice that makes sense if HTML5 video is going to take off, and they are holding the web back. Thumbs up to Microsoft for actually trying to push us forward this time.

The blog post itself has no links sidebar. You have to click on the blog header, and then search for the links sidebar, where there are very small links.

Make some more prominent links, and it'd be great if you had a sidebar with an image of the product and a short description of what it was.

4.1 was not released for iPad.

3.2.2 is the most current public iPad release.

EDIT: Just saw it was raquo that said his was iPad only, sorry.

While I also don't think Apple will buy Sony, they kinda are in the same place Apple was in the 90's pre-jobs. They have a strong brand but make a TON of mediocre products. Jobs coming in and axing everything non-essential to a small "only the best" product line up could really turn the company around. I wouldn't write them off just because of their current lineup.

Is this not using hardware acceleration on the iPhone? Even on iPhone 4, the transitions are extremely choppy.

How do you know they're charging too much? If they don't sell tickets. However, I imagine they're going to easily sell every ticket. Supply and demand. They're running a business, not a charity.

Agreed. She should have constrained what it could be applied to so she could manage her losses. If I was going to embark on a Groupon campaign, I'd want to look at how much money I would lose per Groupon and then figure out how many Groupons I could afford to sell.

If you just open the floodgates without calculating how much you can afford to lose, it's not Groupons fault, it's your own. Even a layman should be able to understand that you're going to take a loss in the short term, so don't allow yourself to take a bigger loss than you can afford.

She even makes it clear in her facebook post that this is entirely her fault:

"...I hung up and thought it over. I called him back and said we would have to get at least 50% to cover our costs of product… to this day I don’t know why I thought even 50% would be a good deal for us. Maybe because I thought since we were covering our food costs. What I didn’t think clearly enough about was that that margin we mark up is what covers all of our other costs… like staff, rent, utilities, etc. Our overhead is roughly $25,000/month, and this decision was about to make it so that we didn’t cover any of those other costs."

"I’m curious to see whether this news makes it onto the Mac sites that’ve beaten Adobe up for a perceived lack of enthusiasm about HTML5 (tough, as it just doesn’t fit that sterile, stupid narrative). The funny thing is that these changes build on the SVG support that Illustrator has been shipping for ten years. Sometimes it just takes a while for the world to catch up."

Adobe's not helping themselves by being so openly hostile towards Mac sites. Not sure why they would post anything like that in a company blog.

Exactly what I was thinking. I'd love to do some small things on iPhone, but I don't really want to commit the time to become pro at Objective-C. It's not a bad language, just not my thing.

Not true. When you get the app for free on iTunes, you own it, even if they charge later. There's no distinction between if you got it for free or not.

Wow. Delete the app and create a new package? I'm assuming that will also kill updates for people that had the original package unless you deploy to both, which may be impossible if you want the free version gone.

Professional Experience has a vertical scrollbar, but scrolling causes the slides to change.

Safari 5.0.1

iPhone 4, iOS 4.0 (8A293)

Very cool, but I seem to be having issues with it on the iPhone. Your site loaded correctly in portrait on the first load, but when I rotated to landscape there was an additional black bar maybe 100px wide on the right side of the page, allowing horizontal scroll. Once you've rotated to landscape, the page does not resize back to portrait until you close the page and open it again.
