<b>Handle With Linux:</b> "Measuring at just 2 x 2 x 2.2 inches this is the smallest Desktop PC. And it's running Linux, one more point for Linux coolness."
Every emerging technology generation seems to result in a battle of platforms and ideologies - a war between companies for the hearts, minds, dollars and loyalty of consumers for their system of choice. Memories of Microsoft's Internet Explorer finally landing the fatal blow to Netscape, or Google's meteoric rise to power over Yahoo (and the…
<b>Katonda: </b>"The high-profile blogs by the two proprietary companies of the world hints at a conspiracy. It seems an environment is being created to 'distract' developers and users from true free formats."
Developers have been notified that if they want to have their app ready for launch day, they have to keep to a short deadline. How much time do they have?
Apparently Apple has changed some term in the agreement again.
From http://www.appleoutsider.com/2010/06/10/hello-lua/
section 3.3.2 is now
Unless otherwise approved by Apple in writing, no interpreted code may be downloaded or used in an Application except for code that is interpreted and run by Apple’s Documented APIs and built-in…
600000 people pre-ordered iPhone 4 on a single day and this rush of fan boys left both Apple and AT & T web servers down for many hours. If you wonder why so many people are rushing for iPhone 4, here is the chart that explains the difference between iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4.
As Steve Jobs said at WWDC 2010, iPhone 4 is definitely…
Apple launched its new programming language Swift at WWDC14. In the presentation, they made some performance comparisons between Objective-C and Python. The following is a picture of one of their slides, of a comparison of those three languages performing some complex object sort:
There was an even more incredible graph about a…

So a while ago i installed Ubuntu on my Macbook. I had to reinstall it because something in the update manager messed up. Not to concerded about that but for some reason after the installation Ubuntu wont boot.
I found out later that Apple hardware uses EFI as the BIOS. Every time i try to install it i make a swap space and…
I remember sitting in Building 5 at Microsoft with some of my coworkers, when one of them came in with a shiny new 11” MacBook Air. It was nearly two years ago, and we found it pretty odd that the OEM’s building Windows machines sucked at industrial design in a way that defied logic. While Dell and HP were in a race to the…
iPhone dev team who always succeeds in jailbreaking iPhones and other iOS devices has done it again. They are able to unlock all iPhones running on iOS 4.2 except iPhone 4. MuscleNerd, a member of iPhone Dev team tweeted
Finally got ultrasn0w working fully on 4.2.1. Apple inadvertently(!) broke ultrasn0w via…
Hello,
I am currently creating a (very simple) Objective-C client to send basic statistical data to my server for an iPhone app - just things like the state of the app (first-launch or launch, error, etc), along with the make/model/version (i.e.: "iPod touch 4.2"). No personally identifiable information or…
As I understand it, Apple does not do currency exchanges when they pay the app developers, they just forward the 70% share in the currency the customers bought it. So, if an app is available in different markets, the developer receives payments in different currencies.
Is there a way to enter one bank…
I got this late 2010 11" MacBook Air. I'm having issues with NVIDIA graphics, especially with GNOME Shell.
I'm thinking about selling this to switch to the new MacBook Pro, particularly the entry level 13" (see specs here), because of the Intel HD Graphics 3000. I assume that it will be more…
Before you chastise me for asking this, I have an Adobe Air app that has a lot of investment in it, and if there is a way to utilize the existing code-base in any way, it is worth considering.
I have heard news reports in passing about Adobe creating some kind of tool to allow flash or air…
Using Nautilus I can connect from Ubuntu 12.04 (64-bit) to my Apple Airport Extreme using user & password without a problem. I can read, browse folders and delete files. However I cannot write files, the file is created, but the contents of the file are not transferred.
The transfer…
