But people don't.

And I have to wonder how many of those users will come to regret that they shot all their babby-pictures in some deliberately cruddy format instead of the best possible available to them.

how is google analytics not a form of tracking?

How is this a bad law or dumb? It seems pretty reasonable that people shouldn't be allowed to bug their ex-spouses houses.

So in a nutshell, a want ad for serfs?

And to add insult to injury, the twitter mobile site seems to be hax0red. there's an alert("xss"); on it as I write this.

My position is that one injustice does not excuse another. You seem to disagree.

Sure it does. Why wouldn't it?

It'd be sort of nice if they did go down. Then maybe people would think twice before doing business with brutal dictatorships in the future.

Which was submitted after the rule change.

Where is this "user revolt" you speak of?

3 downmodders didn't read the article...

Future presidential candidates would also do well to note that the GarageBand presentation was overlong and tedious, just like the iPhoto presentation was when they unveiled the new MacBook Airs.

Why do you use words like communism when you don't know what they mean?

Finding your own external, visible-to-the-internet IP. You're almost always behind some router these days, so using ifconfig or whatever is pretty useless.

It's much easier to spread FUD on the internet than to actually do it.

The fact that Arianna Huffington is Arrington's boss is a source of endless mirth to me.

Daniel Defoe used the word piracy in this sense way back in 1703, so I think there is precedence.

I heard Wired did a whole issue on how this is the future.

Probably a good way to get yourself banned from whatever tracker you run this on. If everyone ran this, download speeds would go down across the board.

Well, his original idea was banned, not to mention kinda creepy and borderline stalkerish, so he didn't have much choice, did he?

Looks like that's gonna be the case. Finder in 10.7 apparently hides $HOME/Library/, so you will have to bust out the terminal to remove b0rken settings.

Except that it doesn't seem to be a straight copy of a touchscreen UI shoehorned into a mouse and keyboard UI like Sparrow is.

Because they want you poor fools to buy up their remaining stock.

Kinda cheezy name. Also, the plugs on the Intel site don't look like mini displayport. Is the Apple version proprietary?

Cool and all, but... It's stuff like scroll analytics that keep NoScript in my list of must-have addons. That kind of stuff is just super creepy in a working-for-the-feds-in-snow-crash kind of way.

A revolution is way less creepy.

Lesson #0: It's Elisp or Emacs Lisp, not some intercapped 90s abomination.

You're overestimating peoples inclination to fuck around with cruddy hacks. The vast, vast number of iPhone users aren't nerds, and have no desire to become nerds.

Because they're the ones deciding what gets outsourced.
