iPadDeveloperon Mac OSX Applications I couldn't live without

Articles like these confuse me. Who is the audience, tiny children?

You use Firefox. Everyone does. You use Dropbox. Everyone does. You don't like Terminal or want some features that other people have.

Perhaps we need to elevate our discourse. Move on at some point?

At the same time, I just posted about my favorite iPhone apps, so it's confusing.

iPadDeveloperon Farewell

I heard stubhub was good, but I'm not sure if they are exactly the same.

iPadDeveloperon Plenty Of Fish Hacked – Chris Russo’s explains how he did it

I don't agree because I work in the industry.

Some are programmers who manage the User Database. They deal with all user accounts data. But they aren't the same guys who are responsible for server security.

I'm talking Enterprise Apps that support tens of thousands of users.

iPadDeveloperon Skype 5 for Mac blocks all webcam access by Flash. Skype says it is "by design"

Confirmed. Retracted.

iPadDeveloperon How to Communicate if Your Government Shuts Off Your Internet

As former Sysop, I agree!

Remember: a Fax/Modem is a must. Not just to send/receive faxes, but in case you have to dial out because your router is down.

Floppy disk drives? Not needed.

iPadDeveloperon Plenty Of Fish Hacked – Chris Russo’s explains how he did it

There are lots of programmers out there who do a fine job, they are just clueless about security.

For companies that have programmers that work great, but aren't security experts, it's time to hire security experts.

Suggesting that all the work the programmers did is worthless because they aren't security experts is seeing the world as black and white. It's gray my friend.

iPadDeveloperon Google algorithm change launched

Then why the advertisement? This is about Google's search result algorithms.

iPadDeveloperon Should Tumblr care? David Karp tells users who complain to "go away"

Running the company on VC cash? Sounds unsustainable. Also isn't Tumbler just like Twitter?

iPadDeveloperon Should Tumblr care? David Karp tells users who complain to "go away"

Exactly. It's funny that some people are 'blaming the customer' for loving a service so much that he gets upset when the people who run it act like this.

Not only can they not be trusted to run the service, but they act unprofessional when you complain. Customers complain, get over it. Learn to deal with it constructively.

David's response is not constructive and William's feedback is very valuable. Period.

iPadDeveloperon DHTML5

That kind of bloat should never be loaded by default.

iPadDeveloperon Cold Water on the iPad 2 Retina Display Hype

Here's my concern: my iOS game runs the iPhone at a nice warm temperature.

At the retina resolution, either frame rate will drop or the iPad will get hot. It will need horsepower, but if doesn't get the horsepower, it might just run slower. It's hard to say.

256MB of RAM is fine for most types of games.
