yeah the slot loading iMacs from 1999 ish had it on the right hand side. You could press it in with a paperclip. Not sure about now...

... and a response to Apple's move into this space

Thats an interesting point about employees. I've seen a Java team take 6 months to hire 3 new developers in London. That's before development even started :)

Correct. It's not the quality of the competing app, or it's closeness to my functionality. It's the consumer confusion, and the blatant piggy backing off of others success which leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I'm more surprised Apple doesn't deal with it.

Here's a good one I was told about a Twitter client I developed: "The links in the tweets just open up a webview when you press them..." - It was rejected on this basis, and this was the appeal board telling me this... :(

ClickyTouch is an iPhone and iPad app for Clicky Web Analytics : details http://clickytouch.com

Yeah that was a bug - sorry!

Hey - there is a new settings section in the Settings.app where you can change this :)

Thanks for the feedback!

Both your requests are on the to-do list but require some help from the Clicky team unfortunately. I could do multiple API calls for each site but it would be good to do one call and get back the data I need...

With regards to notifications, I could actually look at doing that now, assuming users were willing to part with their API key to a hop notification server. Something also the clicky guys may do anyway that we can tag along to.

I developed ClickyTouch, and would love some user feedback from anyone (a)using Clicky Analytics, and (b) their experience with ClickyTouch and what gaps are missing. Really keen to improve

Really like the idea. It's kind of like the 37Signals stuff, although a bit less formal, and more about social groups. Could be interested for running projects though.. will try it.

I've also updated the final sentence to "could be happening", that is what I meant and should have been more careful.

The point of the article is in hope that Apple or whomever are looking beyond stats and material stuff such as "they have a swimming pool", and seeing if there is a more underlying reason for it.

There may not be, which is fine. I'm simply questioning that they should be if they're not. Right now there is no evidence that they are other than they are looking at it. At what we don't know.

If that deserves deletion, so be it.

Yeah I get what you mean... that wasn't my intention with the argument though. Maybe some clarification needed.

The article is questions, not statements.

Interested in people's opinions and experiences with this. As a blogger, I naturally fear opinion and comments in response to my blog entries, but they are good for debate and ultimately in creating content on sites for free....

This was announced about a month ago I'm afraid...

Which also means our Handbrake 64bit encodes will finally work...

And let's not forget that this will have official 64bit support for OS X!! Hurrah!

If this happens it'll be a massive shift for Apple. It ultimately means less Macs will be purchased for development purposes, whereas right now, that HAS to happen.

It does make sense though... more developers = more apps = more revenue.

Who knows.. maybe they'll also have OS X app development in there too :-P

"In many ways, Mobile Me isn't that good" - hence Apple will gain nothing from making a bad product free. Their captive audience right now are Mac users, and it's a far easier sell.

"There are over 100,000 applications leveraging the Twitter API"

That's probably evidence enough that investing in developing for Twitter is kinda fruitless. There's just too much crud out there.

This coming from a Twitter iPhone app and web developer. Likely adding to the crud...

Why does Zuckerberg make this announcement, which ultimately affects all of his 400 million customer base, in a buried article for the Washington Post?

Surely it's best to communicate with your customers directly, y'know, with a Facebook message or something?

Looking at blog.facebook.com right now, there is no sign of this, nothing officially on facebook.com. This is why people don't trust Facebook.

Thank god for this... I had no idea what Markov was!

That is a problem (certainly in London anyway)... I say initial sync over wired, continuous over wireless.

I had some thoughts on it recently: http://www.reynoldsftw.com/2010/04/imagine-a-wireless-sync-w...

I guess it'll turn out to be iTunes.com, your Mac will stop being the hub, and it'll move to the cloud.

Apple are building a new data centre which apparently will be built for the cloud, my guess it's going to be the backbone of iTunes.com and their other online services. http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2009/08/apple-cloud/

Apple TV is a good point...Don't know why all other Apple devices don't follow the same process.

sure, the initial sync, like an initial time machine backup, would take an age to sync wirelessly...

I'm thinking post that though, walking into my network and syncing latest updates, even without my prompting

I wonder if Google Analytics still manages to store the search data?

Any type of wireless syncing is good for me, whether that's with the cloud, or with a Mac/PC on my wireless network.

USB syncing is sooo 20th Century
