"If you choose not to sandbox your app now or to use a temporary exception entitlement, use Apple’s bug reporting system to let Apple know about the issue you are encountering. Apple considers feature requests as it develops the Mac OS X platform."

So everyone with grave concerns about sandboxing is filing Radars, right?

What about versioning? I don't want all my versions exposed, but an ability to link to a specific version would be nice. Maybe a random url for each version. Your site could then guarantee that old versions can not be changed. Include the date of the version on the page, together with a link to the most recent version.

I'm in the "somewhat more experienced entrepreneur" category and I think it's a positive. Demonstrates creativity and that they don't take themselves too seriously.

When I look at websites for developers/designers, the question I ask myself is: What kind of people will this company be able to attract? Will they get the really good ones? Creative things like this increase their chances (people like to work for a fun company).

I don't think that's the most reasonable interpretation. If someone is concerned with appearances, then they're choosing someone for their appearance over their merit. Accusing someone of tokenism is claiming that they would've made a more homogeneous choice based on their judgment of merit, but put merit aside in order to keep up appearances. Tokenism and a lack of merit go hand in hand.

In other words, no one hates blondes. They prejudge blondes to be less competent, but they still keep a couple on the team, despite their prejudgment of being less competent. Being a token anything means merit wasn't the deciding factor for being chosen. It is bad.
I don't (I am 23) am I in the minority now? I wonder what has to happen for the older generation to adopt smartphones (other than the obvious answer of the current generation becoming the older one). Don't we see a bunch of apps and services tailoring to the younger generation? What if we tried targeting the older generation would that increase adoption?
I'm an old Debian and Ubuntu user. I moved to Ubuntu for my desktop since I could install it and it would just work, with a sane enough GUI. With each new release the previous years, they've made design decisions that I don't like.

While it's nice that they try to improve the desktop, it seems like they forget that in the real world, Linux adoption happens with power users recommending (and supporting) new users with their Linux installation. Maybe Ubuntu can change that, but we're not there yet. And if Ubuntu doesn't cater to the power users _as well_, one day they'll wake up to another Linux distribution gaining popularity.

I've switched over to XFCE (Xubuntu) for now, but it seems like I might be better off going back to Debian. After all, I can join the Debian community and actually have a say if I disagree with its direction.
That FAQ is really a great laugh (recommended reading!).

They try a little too hard to justify their absurd terms - which turns the whole thing into satire.
So the solution to "you're ignoring the community" is to ignore the community? That strikes me as an odd suggestion.

And if you can show me a single personal attack from Shuttleworth here, I'd be very interested. I don't always agree with him but in my experience he's always been extremely professional. Claiming anything else is incredibly unfair and mean-spirited.

I wholeheartedly agree that communication is the issue. And everybody is doing an awful job of it right now (Users and Canonical).

"Figuring out what the user wants" isn't necessarily the answer either. Not if your goals are as lofty as bringing Linux to the masses. Un/fortunately, the current user base is NOT necessarily the future.

But if they want to bring "us" along, there are options. Drive the design-centric stake into the ground. Put their designers front and center with blog posts and marketing and workshops. Make it real. Let those who want the same-old to make the choice to go elsewhere - cordially.

And from there, teach the function-first world from which it comes why design is important, by leading through example. Open the curtains on this dark basement of a community to let some light in and start a long and important conversation about personal hygiene, kerning fonts and rounded corners. Help a couple app developers make some real money selling a simple yet well designed app through the new software center.

In my mind, that's real communication and leadership. Bickering over features won't get anyone anywhere, and while their hand-waving "won't-fix" is NOT the way to go about it, neither is wasting too much time on people who probably won't like what Ubuntu is trying to become.

Personally, I like the new stuff, and I'm looking forward to seeing what's next.
Given how long keyboards last under far heavier and harsher loads than any phone button experiences, it's clearly not a given that a hardware button must start having problem during the lifetime of the product. But it does seem clear that manufacturers aren't interested in putting the same durability on phones as they are on keyboards, as I've seen these problems with iPhone sleep and home buttons.
I believe you are right. Honestly, I don't Mike is racist but the "Passive Attitude" that he can't think of any black founder - when he clearly knows some is kind of dishonest.

> he meets with "business leaders"

US Chamber of Commerce and various other lobbying organizations. A politician knows where his support and money is coming from. "Business leaders" is just a nice way of saying lobbyists.

> The entrepreneurial world is not a centralized, monolithic thing ...

Is that hurting it though when it comes to promoting its interests in Washington? Google, Oracle, Microsoft, all probably have their lobbyists.

Not really saying to quickly start sending money to K street, just something to be aware of.

> It's not like there's a startup club where they hand out all these freebies and you're not invited.

There is the converse to that they way they see it perhaps, if there isn't a large lobbying organization behind all this, it must not all be that important. Those that have the resource can launch PR wars again them and take advantage of the fragmentation.

> slant the coverage that way, even unintentionally and subtly, is really whacked.

At best they are ignorant of that, at worst, they know and try to spin it to play to someone's interest.
> Apple has already demonstrated several times over that the professional market isn't really of much interest to them anymore.

There is one group of professionals Apple cannot do without: developers. One of the main appeals of both iOS and the Mac is the availability of exclusive, high-quality apps. I expect that limiting all app distribution to the Mac App Store will send developers running to other platforms. A platform without developers is an empty shell, and Apple knows this.
> But of course, as you go deeper in either product, you'll soon find the same ambiguities and amount of shit work.

The point here is that for facebook when your contacts change their details, changes to their inclusion in your groups are automatically cascaded.

It's orders of magnitude less shitwork than Google+ where you have to manually curate / update circles.
One problem with sandboxing is that it stifles innovation.

Many of the innovations in computers (dynamic libraries, drivers, plugins, screen grabbing, password managers, etc) came from being able to do anything on your computer. Once the sandbox lockdown is complete, you won't be able to invent new techniques that require entitlements the gatekeeper hasn't thought of already.

The sandbox marks the end of the open system. Protecting users from malware is a noble goal, but I don't see sandboxing as an effective enough tool to justify the loss of freedom. iOS is still to this day being compromised with ease despite its massively locked-down design, and I don't see the cat-and-mouse game ending any time soon. In fact, the malware danger from email and web pages is FAR higher than that from shady apps.

The motivation for the app store is purely financial, of course, which means that over the coming years it's in their interests to command as much control as possible, even to the point of eliminating unsigned apps altogether once the app store ecosystem is mature enough (plus it will allow them to finally kill Flash off all Apple platforms for good, as well as hobble all competing browsers, and, well, pretty much any software they decide to compete with). I don't see this scenario playing out well.
I'd love to see the breakdown between iPhone vs. Android by age group.

Another interesting statistic would be the number of people who have smartphones that use them as smartphones (instead of just as a phone), and how that breaks down between age groups. Looking at traffic analytics for the sites I have access to, there are typically 2 to 3 times as many people browsing the sites using an iPhone than an Android-based device.

AvidFX – Title Tool Part 7: A simple Text Roll
The only thing I agree with Mike on is this "The way to fix this problem is to try to get more very young minorities interested in business, science and math, and create a culture that celebrates these interests in the same way that being good at sports is celebrated today." Yet he doesn't even realize that "the same way that being good at sports is celebrated today" is extremely offensive coming from him. The only reason Black people excelled at sports was that there weren't many other options for making a great deal of money without a good education. A quick survey of black athletes will undoubtedly show that they weren't at the top elementary schools and high schools in their areas. When you don't have a solid education or any place to get one because of your socio-economic class you turn to other options for making money, namely sports or entertainment if you're "good" selling drugs and crime if you're "bad." The comment itself is true but the idea that he can't understand the historical context of his proposition or the reason it isn't already the case is sad.
Nor would he _want_ to hire anyone to design a monospaced font for four years.
On what the article claims: my understanding is that the sandbox restricts all non-user initiated actions. That is, if a user initiates it by clicking, dragging, OK-ing, etc., then all the old system interactions are still allowed. If you want to take a screenshot, of course you can so long as the user hits a keyboard combo to do it.

How would that work? How does the system determine that the user intended for this particular action to take screenshots of other applications' windows?
While depth and ambition of this project is impressive (take a look at the screenshots in the .zip), I think the goal seems a bit lofty, particularly when there are many more-than-adequate free/open-source monospace fonts available.

Because that interpretation makes zero sense in context.

"There are very few minorities here. When they are here, they get hired much more easily than their white or asian counterparts. There is no conscious or subconscious desire to keep minorities out [...] It’s the complete opposite."

He's saying that people consciously desire to hire minorities, so they make it easier for minorities to be hired. There is no reasonable way he was suggesting that underrepresented minorities in the Valley are more competent than everyone else. If that were the case, one wouldn't need to desire to hire underrepresented minorities; you'd just get them as a byproduct of seeking out merit.

I prefer the coding font Anonymous Pro (has nothing to do with the hacktivist group) - it's located here and it's for free.

Personally, PragmataPro looks too condensed for me. It is probably more "economical" to use condensed fonts, but to me, it is really not very readable.
Pizza's different because it takes 15 minutes for them to make it. It's not really a choice of going to the store to order vs using an online form. It's a choice between calling and using an online form. Calling is already fairly impersonal, and on top of that you normally end up on hold, then you have to read them your credit card number, etc. Online ordering can indeed be less hassle than calling in an order (at least after the initial hassle of setting up an account).

Let's also not forget that Square is presumably not just targeting coffee shops and restaurants with this. You can take a sweater to the register and pay with card case.
I was under the impression that it was actually poor men who were executed disproportionately for rape. And while we're tossing stats around, how about the general amount of crime committed by said Black men? It is higher per capita, is it not? Is that due to racism too?

Very interesting that "secure" is not listed as one of the key features, and that "security" is not listed as one of the goals.
People working off of their own branches in complete isolation is probably not a good thing, even if you aren't "agile". Also, non fast-forward merging should only really happen between long-lived branches. Short-lived experimental/feature branches should almost always be brought back to master with a rebase. Otherwise you are cluttering up your git history with unnecessary merges.

In the same vein, rebase should almost always be used when you are doing a `git pull` to sync a branch up with master - e.g. `git pull --rebase origin master`. You can set rebase to be the default pull strategy for newly created branches in your .gitconfig like so:

[branch]

International - BUYER WANTS OFF MARKET Commercial Income properties
True, I didn't offer a mathematical proof. Though I can offer my personal experiences growing up in a racist urban environment. One of many memories which stand out was during gym class, when a 12 year old White person whispered into my ear, "It smells like niggers in honey." (Where did he come up with that?)

Maybe I can recommend Tim Wise, if you wish to delve deeper? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2mjvFNOwmc&feature=relat...)

But I do not think racist attitudes account for everything. Far more important is institutional racism. (Institutional analysis is by nature impersonal: if you replace all the individuals, the institutions will operate pretty much the same. Same racist outcomes.)
Do your sites have a particular demographic slant? I've seen Android filling the "cheap phone" and the "I like to tinker" demographics, with iOS covering the standard Apple "Just Works, clean UI, I have a bit of extra money" crowd.

My first smartphone was an iPhone and my second was an Android. My artist/student/professor wife's first was an iPhone, and she'll probably stay on iOS for the next 5 years at least.

My not so technically inclined mother just purchased an iPhone to "keep up with the times." Her biggest difficulty with it so far is figuring out how to move around within any application, specifically going back. It's hard for her to realize that sometimes she has to hit the button called "back" sometimes it's called "cancel" and sometimes it's called something else. She would love a back button, even if it were inconsistent.

I buy that argument for a conference of ideas, but not for a business competition. The former is about exposing people to new ideas; the latter is about exposing promising companies and investors to each other. Getting people with diverse backgrounds to speak at a conference of ideas is doing the audience a favor, but this whole conversation has been about doing underrepresented minorities a favor.

Promoting underrepresented minorities based on their status does not help underrepresented minorities. It hurts. It might help the people who are blessed to be in their presence, but the assumption of pro-minority bias makes people think less of minorities when that becomes a common practice. It should be discouraged.
I see Amazon trying to build itself, at high cost (I'm sure the Prime membership doesn't cover all of the videos/books licensing plus free 2 day shipping), as the major source of digital entertainment content delivered through the Internet.

Once they've become the primary source and particularly if they're able to control access through their own hardware (Kindle devices), they'll be able to negotiate from a position of power with content providers. Without this type of negotiating power, Amazon (or any other digital media medium like Pandora, Netflix) will always be at the mercy of content creators.

Obviously, Amazon also has its dominant Internet retailing business so its in a good place regardless of whether the digital media services are successful. They now just want to rule the Internet world too.
Listen, I'm not conflating Apple into a single person with horns and a tail. I'm none of their fans, but that only plays into my tone/adds some sarcasm to my posts and doesn't change my general attitude.

As someone pointed out you first talked about copyright, but this seems to be a trademark issue. Now I'm the first to admit that I'm not a lawyer etc. pp, I don't know shit about trademarks. And I certainly have not the slightest clue about US (Apple's home) laws and regulations.

But no, this is not something that makes sense under any regulation that mankind can have invented while sober people were in charge. An apple is a fruit. Period. Not a trademark. If you happen to grant a trademark for that name than that's unfortunate, but doesn't change the fact that this word has a meaning and will be used for that.

If you choose a specific image for your company you need to protect that logo. But this _doesn't_ include scaring little guys that happen to draw this common everyday thing in a totally different way for their totally different business. That's insane.

I kind of understand your point and fair enough: We should blame that trademark (and .. copyright) system every day, just because. But please, you cannot conflate these things. However broken the system(s) are, these cases don't make sense in any case. Compare the images. Think about the business involved.

Aluminum gadgets with distinct apple icon engraved vs. food shops serving apple based dishes and drinks using the word apple in their name / a drawing of an apple as their logo.

Out of spite? No, probably not. Totally unnecessary, even considering your point about broken markets and laws? But of course! Probably some lawyers gone mad, as others stated - they might be able to bill some hours for this crap.

Just please don't ~defend~ this by saying that Apple needs to do this, or else..
