I guess Mac - sorry, OS X - users never install software they didn't mean to or that was misrepresented to them? What a pleasure it must be working with such a vigilant, critically thinking group of users.
They do. The BBC use it for the web-based version of the iPlayer, for example. (which only works on iOS devices and various set-top boxes and web-connected TVs - try it in the iOS Simulator or any other desktop browser with a spoofed user agent and it'll fail)

Basically, the (HTTPS) server can require the client to provide a special Apple-signed client certificate, which the server then verifies. If verification fails, it closes the connection. If it succeeds, the video is transmitted encrypted (SSL) and plays back just like any other <video> tag.

There's also a variant that lets you statically encrypt the video and serve it via Apple's "HTTP Live Streaming" protocol, with the keys for decryption downloaded via the client-certificate-authenticated SSL connection described above. This lets you avoid the overhead of SSL for gigs and gigs of data, as you only have to encrypt the files once, offline.

You're blaming Apple because the different carriers all decided on incompatible RF standards? You're blaming Apple because your carrier doesn't offer a family data plan, and you refuse to consider a wifi-only iPad? I think you're ranting in the wrong direction, and in the wrong place.
Of course there is, it's called Free Speech. There's no right that entitles you to force Apple to do what you want, but then again, nobody's arguing for it.
> Who gives a fuck about the $100?

FOSS and freeware developers, I imagine.

>You're building apps on a $1700 laptop while sipping a $6 coffee in your $2000/month apartment, for fuck's sake.

Sorry, no I'm not. I'm scraping by on a laptop that cost $1100 when I bought it six years ago. My living situation is... let's just say that you're just a tad north of reality. I was making an OK living off of some shareware I wrote until Apple pulled the rug out from under its smaller developers with last year's App Store transition. $100 is not a hardship, but it is a significant chunk of change.

Now, with that all out of the way, that's not actually the point. The point is what this does to people just starting out. Consider how much free/cheap software there is out there because somebody took their little weekend project and decided to pop it up on the web. Now consider what proportion of those people are going to take that leap if they have to pay a hundred bucks for practically anyone to be able to use it. Do you think any of them will be willing to put it out there for free under those conditions?

I didn't "fall for" anything. Nor do I care that you are guessing about what Gruber did or did not ask. You especially have no clue about other, conveniently unspecified things which you assume Gruber didn't ask about which are "basic", so I care even less about that.

Again, you are personally attacking Gruber's readers, as I pointed out earlier. Now you're doing it again. It's tiresome. Please stop.

Gruber's readers are not merely a "fanclub". They are readers who read Gruber's blog because they get information there. When I worked at Apple, I saw quite a few folks walking around in Daring Fireball t-shirts. I don't think that's an accident, nor does it reflect your reality of Gruber readers being a bunch of hypnotized fanboys.

This is the equivalent of saying:

"I've been running Windows for 15 years, and never had a blue-screen-of-death, therefore anyone that has issues with a blue-screen-of-death is either lying or a fucking moron. My anecdote proves that Windows is 100% stable 100% of the time."
This is very misleading.

This isn't marketshare. The article itself states that it is based on survey of 1000 Canadians.
Allow me to explain the joke.

The legal definition of obscenity requires that a work is meant to be arousing and has patently offensive sexual conduct, in addition to having no redeeming artistic value.

Therefore, adding sex into something offensive makes it more obscene.
I'm not happy with the way things are headed either and you make some good points but I think you were out of line with the version number comment. Apple isn't trying to compete with Windows, at least not in the way you're implying. They're a whole different animal and they're setting the pace for everyone else, not the other way around. In any case, as far as version numbers go, OS X jumps one full decimal with each major release. Mountain Lion being 10.8 is not marketing (if it is it has nothing to do with windows) its pure coincidence. If anything Windows is using version numbers for marketing purposes. Win7 came out when OS X 10.7 was out and if I'm not mistaken, Windows is actually at version 6.2 if I remember right. If you don't believe me then open up a DOS prompt and ask it yourself.
That sounds like a checklist for JavaScript too...
If only Dotcloud has a more affordable plan. I'd happily pay $50 to host my small, low-traffic hobby projects.
Maybe it's your diet.
Nor do I care that you are guessing about what Gruber did or did not ask.

He literally says he didn't ask about things being "done differently now" because it was uncomfortable. He literally says he guesses a list of others will receive the same briefing.

I only said if it did happen here, you wouldn't know about it. I don't mean to offend your sense of patriotism. I still feel this statement is factual given the fact you're asking me for instances.

Can I prove someone was secretly detained for voicing their opinion? No. It's a secret. This is like asking someone to prove they don't have something.

What I do know is, due process has been suspended in the U.S via ndaa, the patriot act, and soon to be enemy expatriation act. I do know americans have been detained in gitmo for owning a casio watch.

I have nothing against the U.S. I live here and enjoy the privileges the constitution affords me. But I feel it is important to be critical of our own government rather than saying 'hey, at least we're not IRAN'. That isn't a very high standard at all.

A chrome user is more valuable to google than another browser user:

google paid 1 billion dollars for a search deal to Mozilla with ~30% mkt share. If google had never built chrome, Mozilla share might be 50% or more today. The search deal would've been commensurately more expensive.

The point is, google doesn't have to pay for search engine placement for a chrome user.
About Afghanistan: the CIA had been involved in Afghanistan for decades. They had volumes of information, and allies. Russian involvement made a lot of information available (spies) and set the country up for interventionist scenarios. With Iraq, the entire military had been there 10 years before. Those are not the case in Iran. It's much more of an unknown. And frankly, Afghanistan really is easier to invade, so I'm not sure invading was such a shock as you claim, especially coming a mere 20 years after the Russian invasion. It's a country divided into self-interested warlord factions. Achieving any kind of lasting effect, that's another thing entirely... but sitting around having pot-shots taken at you, no problem. Especially if you can back it up with cash.

Sure, who knows what can happen. But it would practically have to be a new world order, slanted towards that possibility. So that's not a good reason for keeping a lid on any talk of Iran being unjust or unfair, just out of fear that such talk now would somehow contribute some fraction of a fraction towards intervention in some unknown, completely removed event in the distant future.
Yes, and never mind that just about everything you take for granted about personal computers was "given" by Apple, too.

The RDF is on full effect there, I see. You might want to look at systems like the Xerox Alto & Star, both released before the Lisa. The implementation was certainly excellent - and I have a lot of respect for the Lisa and Macintosh engineers - but many of the concepts were invented elsewhere.
Even if you sign the binary, you are still getting shut out of the market for the segment of users that select App Store only. You pay Apple the App Store cut or you limit your market... not a great choice to have to make.

Presumably zero. Patents are only permitted for "useful" subject matter. Useful is a term of art: you can still patent silly things like Slinkies: http://www.google.com/patents/US2415012?printsec=drawing – but whatever you patent has to actually function as advertised. So while the Slinky is objectively useless, it does what the patent says it does. A warp drive would be objectively useful, but when you build it, it won't do what the patent says it does; therefore, it's not patentable.
You could take one of dozens of language and mark "check" for each of those points. (And the first one is questionable anyway, there are better languages). So why Dart rather than some other language? What's it's real selling points?

Perhaps the strongest thing going for Dart is that there's a big company with resources behind it. Unfortunately, this is also the worst thing about it. Google's lack of effort to involve other browser vendors and the community at large in it's development is ultimately the reason why not many are interested, aside from whether or not the language is any good.

From the site: "Unique transition styles created using CSS3"

Couldn't these "Unique transitions" be applied to most existing slideshow plugins, since they are done with CSS3 and not the plugin itself?

Say, if I was using http://slidesjs.com/, I could do `addClass('animate-in')` using the `animationStart()` event.

I say this as I'd like more people to contribute to a solid, widely used and tested slideshow plugin, instead of adding another choice--of course this assumes that there's no need for another choice.

Eric, our plans have changed and we're no longer working on Cinco.
Actually I was drawing one of these by hand just a couple of days back for an Internet Standard Draft, so was very interested to evaluate this tool. Unfortunately it treats edits as chunks of characters instead of structured diagrams... fail. I'd really prefer a tool like this using a graphviz-like data structure and the ability to rearrange the elements in a similar way to MySQL Workbench and other database design tools.
Hmm, this is an interesting business opportunity. I feel the same, but let me prod it further. I suspect the core problem isn't that you're emailing me - it's that you're doing so out of a focus on you, not me.

Hear me out: when I go through the email-signup hullabaloo on a website, it's usually because I really want something from there. It's probably a one time thing, and I'll likely forget about your site and brand momentarily after I receive the object of my attention.
When you email me two weeks down the road with some "exciting features" or "website overhaul" or "biweekly coleslaw update of random things on your website" -- I still don't care about you or your website, and now you've annoyed me like a dinner party guest that blabs on about themselves after everyone's body language has made it clear they're not listening or caring.

What I do still slightly care about is the problem you've helped me solve two weeks ago. I imagine a neat way to engage me would be:
"Hey, you downloaded these Visio stencils from our website, but check it out - we've just updated our stencils library with these slightly older pieces of equipment. If you've got something old kicking around, it's worth to have a look, instead of drawing it yourself: link. Oh, and by the way, if you want a template and some advice on modelling a building, check out this(link) post on our forums. UsernameXYZ has worked in several large corporations and has modelled enterprise-scale networks. 801 of our users thought it was good advice - it's probably worth a read!"

There is a reason people sign up for service to use it once, and that ought to be cleverly exploited to increase their engagement. The clever bit needn't be unscalable either - the majority of one-time users likely fit into several common scenarios (log in to download something, log in to post something, etc) and it wouldn't be hard to come up with a set of custom messages, each tailored for the particular scenario. That wouldn't cover every one-time use, but I imagine it'd be a fair stab at it.

Do you think this would be a good way to engage you, or would it still fall into the "annoying -> immediately delete from inbox" category?
I don't like the quickness that doctors will screw with the machinary of the mind with drugs.

The machinery of the mind is chemicals. Drugs are chemicals. When a chemical machine malfunctions, chemical treatments are not unreasonable.

At any rate, this comment is probably being downvoted for this line:

I picked myself up and fixed my damn problem.

Edit: also this: http://wiki.lesswrong.com/wiki/Typical_mind_fallacy

Based on everything I've read from others who have talked about clinical depression, it sounds like there is no picking oneself up. The metaphorical train has gone so far off track that its conductor doesn't even remember what tracks look like.
Yeah but in all fairness you already bought my widget.

What do you mean by still? It wasn't profitable, it made changes, and now we have to see what happens. It's a bit early to say it's still not profitable.
Nice, I like it. It's a bit like 'dependency injection', but as an interface.

There is a lot more to the science of depression than simply being down for a bit. Thats part of the cycle of everyone's life, at some point. Everyone self medicates.

Depression is so often a side-effect of other, real, mental disorders. These aren't things you can 'pick yourself up from' and walk it off. Doctors 'screw with the mind' of consenting adults who agree that they have a problem and are trying exactly to 'pick themselves up.'

You should expand your notion of a drug and what treatment is, along with the machinery of the mind. Depression is caused by drugs in your own mind, which are so much more complicated and nuanced than the pharmaceuticals one would take to offset them.
The plugin works in all browsers that support CSS3 transitions and gracefully degrades down to Firefox 3.6 and IE7.
No technical limitation that I can think of prevents the scenario you've described.

As a practical matter, it would require anything up to and including a full rewrite of every pro media creation app on the market. The standard to date has been that there is a specified folder for plug-ins, and the host scans the folder for installed plug-ins on startup.

One benefit of this arrangement is that the user must install the plug-in only once to have access to it in any application that supports its plug-in format. Let's use pro audio apps as an example. I use Ableton Live and Native Instruments Maschine as my primary compositional tools, but I prefer to mix/master in Reaper. Given your alternative method, when I purchased Madrona Labs' Aalto, one of my favorite virtual instruments released in recent memory, I would have needed to endure three separate installation processes to have access to the plug-in in each app where I might want to use it.

Additionally, Maschine happens to have the ability to run both as a standalone application and as a VST plug-in. Let's say I sketched out a beat in Maschine standalone, using Aalto to produce some cool Buchla bongo sounds. Later, in Live, I insert an instance of the Maschine VST and open my project file for further processing. Do I now have nested sandboxes? Will it work at all?

Things get even more complicated when one considers the plug-in developers who require iLoks (license verification USB dongles). These seem even less likely to be compatible with Apple's new processes. Don't get me wrong, I hate and refuse to use iLoks, and by extension any software which requires them. But many Pro Tools/Waves/Soundtoys/etc users are just used to the inconvenience of a hardware dongle at this point, and the companies I mentioned have many satisfied customers.

It seems to me more likely that rather than rewriting their apps or fundamentally adjusting their license verification practices, many of these developers will simply avoid the App Store altogether. As a consequence, users suffer.

One has to wonder what types or levels of depression this claims to validate. Depression can be caused by a lot more than simply down times or highly impactful life events. The brain and mind are so unbelievably mutable and plastic that I cannot possibly imagine how this could hold up to a realistically sized test group; this study followed less than 100 patients...

If this test can't detect depression in, say Bipolar patients, can it really claim to detect depression?
Thank you very much for your feedback. We currently limit file upload to 1mb for the test account. But I fully agree, disabling it would be more secure.
Nothing, and IIRC this is what I've seen recommended on Dev Forum. Browse to plugin, copy plugin to app sandbox (or with 10.7.3 maybe get new security managed context handle to FS object), load. I don't have an app that does this so I can't comment on any possible issues around code signatures.

Sorry I can't point to individual forum threads at the moment.
You're technically correct.

They're just disallowed from supporting plugins in the manner that they have been on every platform for 20 or 30 years.
I like the idea of a sandbox. Apple promotes the sandbox as a security feature but shouldn't Apple try to improve much more important things (security wise) first which are much less invasive?

Example: The Keychain application from Apple (used to store certificates, private keys and passwords) is using a encryption algorithm that is too weak for what it is used - namely: DES. You can break it with a reasonable amount of money.

Wouldn't it make more sense to improve these kind of things first? We would gain so much more security with a minimal effort.

Hi,

I'm not familiar with slidesjs.com so I can't compare the two but the way in which Sequence is built is very much different to other sliders that I have come across. Sequence basically just controls the attribution of class names (animate-in and animate-out), allowing a sliders transitions to be completely written in CSS.
I think you missed my point.

I have thousands of photos "in" iPhoto, and I have no idea of any of the file names or their location on the file system.

I don't care what they are called or where they are, I just want to have my photos.

Sure, there might be a filesystem under there, but I have no interest in interacting with it directly.
Is it possible that this will turn cities in to less desirable places to live? Imagine if you could take your car in to the city for drinks, have it drive around for a while and pick you up when your done.

That is just one possibility, I'm sure there are so many applications I can't even think of them.
The way I took "done differently now" was that it was in reference to Job's death, and I can understand why it would be uncomfortable to talk about it.
