That is indeed what continuum is. Right now it's limited by the fact that you can only run Universal Windows Apps (UWP) that support ARM.

This is exactly why x86-emulation-on-ARM (http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2016/11/x86-em...) is a very exciting project from Microsoft.

As mobile chips continue to improve, emulating x86 becomes a viable way of tapping into the huge Windows ecosystem of applications when not running on battery power.

I think this is Microsoft's last shot of becoming relevant in the mobile space.

I don't think this is an accurate view at all. How can you say they aren't innovating when you've got Microsoft Research still going strong with the fruits of its labor becoming visible in commercial applications such as speech, augmented reality, etc.

Not to mention the open source efforts they've put forth with .NET -- which admittedly is still in rough shape but certainly seems to have a future.

I don't think it's quite right to discount Microsoft entirely and see them as the next IBM.

Everything you just described is a complete privacy nightmare.

My experience has been entirely the opposite of yours. Fastmail has excellent (and personal) customer service whereas getting ahold of someone at Google is nearly impossible.

I haven't been able to reliably/easily get a project to compile on Linux into a self contained executable similar to Go.

At one point this was advertised in blog posts as something that would be possible. Has this changed?

I think it's one of the killer features that help ease the burden of deployment for a lot of folks.

To make the password hash harder to crack. There's a big difference in time to crack the hash for "Passw0rd" vs "$)63hjbbdhs23".

Except for the fact DTrace is under the exact same license and ships with OS X.

Thanks for your work on this swills. It's much appreciated.

So, outside of the major cloud providers, what are the good alternatives?

The major problem is at an enterprise scale (hundreds of thousands of servers and above) it becomes untenable due to the nature of ports tracking upstream and constantly in flux.

It makes it difficult to support the applications and services that run on the OS as a result.

Whereas with something like RHEL/CentOS, we're guaranteed stability for years and can patch without too much concern of major breakage.

This is the part that really appeals to most enterprise users.

Mostly because that's what ships with most distros that are in production use currently.

A cheeky list of sessions whose titles will be revealed after the Keynote: https://developer.apple.com/wwdc/schedule/

Yes, it was fixed upstream in glibc, but that doesn't mean the distros actually get the patch into their distribution. In fact, the report states: "Unfortunately, it was not recognized as a security threat; as a result, most stable and long-term-support distributions were left exposed (and still are): Debian 7 (wheezy), Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 & 7, CentOS 6 & 7, Ubuntu 12.04, for example."

According to the developer, OTR support is planned. Referenced here: https://twitter.com/FlamingoForMac/status/395268991985676289

All the reasons why this is a terrible idea are outlined here: http://www.matasano.com/articles/javascript-cryptography/

It would be far better if you had some more technical information available as to what your platform is built on and what it offers.

That's coming in early 2013.

I've complained about the same issue to Simple and they've informed me that they have no plans to ever offer paper checks. I'm getting around this issue by taking out money orders using my Simple card. It's a minor hassle but it works just fine.

Slightly off topic but I'm finding it difficult to find this information: How long are ASP.NET MVC releases supported for with bug fixes? MVC4 is out now and presumably next year MVC5 will be out -- does MVC4 continue to receive bug fixes?

Well, I am unsure if Mint incompatibility will always be the case -- but you have to keep in mind that their goal right now is to offer budgeting tools directly to customers that are fully integrated into the Simple experience.

I know the guy that made http://tf2recipes.com/ -- and it's a pretty nifty iOS app that makes use of the Steam API.

Seems this is being published later this year.

Can anyone point to any good resources for a mostly Unix-based programmer getting up to speed with all the new technology coming in Windows 8 that are available now?

I'm also an Apple Developer, but I don't see what that has to do about looking up the information with regard to the Gatekeeper feature.

If you visit http://www.apple.com/macosx/mountain-lion/security.html you'll see the part that says, and I quote: "You can choose to install and run apps from the Mac App Store and apps that have a Developer ID."

I would also encourage you to read: http://www.panic.com/blog/2012/02/about-gatekeeper/ to actually understand Gatekeeper.

It's not that I'm being sensitive, it's that I really can't tolerate FUD. And I'm sorry, but that is exactly what you're spreading.

You do realize that Apple will allow 3rd parties to get a valid certificate without having to go through the App Store Review process or even being 'approved' on the App Store, right?

This is a paranoid delusional rant that is misplaced at best, and malicious at worst. This is the exact FUD that is harmful to everyone.

We've struggled to gain any sort of traction with our 1.0 release. We just brought out 1.1 and were looking for comments/feedback as to how to improve our execution.

Any and all feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Here are some codes to get the app for free: YE7PL6X4KR37 FK74FX6L47MJ 4KFFK3AEANA4 P73TXMTW9JLN A7AJYH76WTT6 6PKF4EEFMA6A MHLX3PRPYAJ9 N39YFP7LXLK7 KEPFHYR6KYRL YMYEAY67TX66 N63WWTTFNLPE 6KYWP4EH4T9H YJ3K666HH3YA T9N76F9R6NRH W6PYLPXM97M6

Does anyone know if these prices (and limits) apply to accounts in general or are they per app?

I have never had that happen to me on all 3 of my Lion machines. Could you elaborate some more about your circumstances with this glitch?

Any interest in either open sourcing said layout system or perhaps even selling it to those of us who struggle with these sort of problems (a la Sensible TableView)?

Another pretty neat example is this webcomic: http://hobolobo.net
