Yeah, because the Internet is american. In fact, all the servers are in Kentucky.
And it has 'pragmatic control' :D
Having worked in the arts, my experience is that many people - especially first-time buyers and even with the arts industry - don't really appreciate the economics of creative work and tend to undervalue it. If you don't assert a fairly stiff price tag up front people will try and beat your fee down later. The deposit is a way of getting people to put their money where their mouth is. I would be a richer man if I had figured out this trick earlier in my film career :-)
By "amateur" I mean that I think the typical app consumer is getting pretty good at spotting stock UI and tends to equate that with a slapdash app, justified or not.

This is more pronounced on the iPad I think.
Found this really fun to read, a sort of 'how to found a company best practices' for the people who keep dreaming wistfully about armoured elephants and Alps.
I've got a startup at http://zombal.com. Occasionally we have algorithm work coming through but it's not something that you could live off (at the moment). I'm still figuring out the market and determining the best way to connect companies with people like yourself.
While I appreciate the time and effort that went into producing this, I must admit that I am a little confused; what is to be gained by recreating logos using only CSS?

There are only two answers that I can come up with: practice or showcasing new properties. In my opinion, both of those reasons don't justify recreating an image using CSS. Surely if you wanted to practice, or showcase a property, you would be better off creating something that could actually be used?

Please feel free to 'enlighten' me, as I have almost certainly overlooked something.
Eh, I don't see this on my iPhone. Selecting a category (from the tab at the bottom) shows Top Paid, Top Free, and Release Date.

No "What's Hot".
PwnedList
I don't get it. The jury found that Hoff's statements on the blog were "not untrue", but he's guilty of "tortious interference". Could someone with a better understanding of civil law clarify how exactly that works?
I had some trouble viewing data members that were longer than the select box, they would wrap down to a second line and overlap the next entry. I also could not use the mouse to scroll through the list and using the up and down arrows was sluggish. I am dealing with a very large list, but the original chosen seems to handle it pretty well.
Evidently you may be trapped inside yours -- I made no mention of VertexDB nor did I suggest any particular database.

However, for example, Datomic (http://www.infoq.com/presentations/The-Design-of-Datomic) is interesting, which is distributed and uses Amazon's DynamoDB storage service.
Square doesn't do in app purchasing of virtual goods. That's what Apple bans (see Amazon Kindle, Dropbox API, NY Times, etc). Square let's you the app user sell something, not pay for something.
Brain scan: A maverick in flight
Further, the same salt for every password opens the door a class of rainbow type attacks that precompute the rounds of the hash containing the salt, then computing the remaining rounds for each list in the dictionary of passwords. When done well, this can reduce huge piles of computational effort required to scan a dictionary or passwords. This same concept is also why hash(password+salt) is really weak, you can precompute a lot of the rounds of a lot of different paswords and then go from there with the known salt.

There are deeper attacks too, but the above are just what can be derived from a bit of reading up on how the SHA family of hashes works.

For a closely related problem/solution, reading up on HMAC is quite enlightening.
I personally like to use it to read what others say about a place I am visiting. I find it most useful when I am traveling to a place I have never been before. Specifically, Airports often have good comments about which security lines to take, where the best food is, and other interesting/useful comments.
Please, would you give an example of an open source program with such infrastructure built in ?
I'm eager to study such programs to pick up insights.
Yes. Not on TouchArcade (since I don't sell games), but I have paid for advertising on AppAdvice and CultOfMac. It seems to be roughly break even for me, but since I can't correlate click-throughs with purchases I don't really know for sure - and experimenting is not exactly cheap.

Apple got Amazon, Netflix, NY Times and a whole bunch of other big names to givein to their in app rules. The DOJ will have a field day if they special case Facebook.
The best-considered view is that the trial court muffed up. Truth is well known to be a defense against a defamation claim, but because the lawyers for Jerry Moore made a claim of tortious interference with Moore's employment, the trial court judge got confused, perhaps with assistance from lawyers who argued the case poorly on both sides, and still allowed a verdict of liability and a LARGE damage award. Most observers here in Minnesota with legal training have been expecting this odd trial court result to be reversed on appeal. Now the appeal is in process.
I have been creating software for 20+ years and I have personally never seen a case where 'in the end' it wouldn't have been better to use a framework. And mostly actually a framework which is as opinionated and feature rich as possible. These frameworks don't grow randomly; they are based on actual needs. When they are young they answer mostly to acute needs of the developer, when they grow they automatically grow into stuff 'most companies' need. And that's 'your company' as well; you can think you are different, but that's not really true. If you try to be different, you mostly do a lot of work which you shouldn't have. Yes, there is Google. Yes there is Facebook. But you are not those. And you won't become those. Also most companies are not IT companies; non-IT companies benefit even more from frameworks and rigidity; in most cases it's better to remake or form your business process to the framework/software than the other way around. Other people did that heavy lifting already; why should you try to do that again?

I'm not sure where you work, but this is my experience from using 'wysiwyg' clipper & dbase software in the 80s to Delphi frameworks in the 90s to web frameworks. People think they are very different from the start and then (usually after a management change) they notice the same stuff happens everywhere.
The Use of Marble in Flooring Applications
Marble belongs to the class of metamorphic rock and it is composed of re-crystallized carbonate minerals, which are very often calcite or dolomite. Geologists use the term marble to refer to metamorphosed limestone.
The only advantage I can think of is that if the circle sizes are set dynamically, then the logo will scale to any resolution.
According to @dens, the new Android version won't be live until 9am eastern.
Right. Because if I hack a website I'm totally going to log in with a totally real set of credentials traceable back to me.

Besides, this is the 2010 American Community Survey. Pretty sure it's moved all the markets it's going to move by now.
Top 80+ Tools And Apps For Ultimate Twitter Experience ( Free Ebook )
I'd start with using full words, and not "chat" speak. I don't mean to pick on you, but if you wanted to take some of my time to discuss something, and you sent me an email that had a subject line like your title here, it would be marked spam almost immediately.

Even if english isn't your first language, it's not that hard to not sound like you're a waste of time off the bat.
I think you are conflating two problems - setting to off by default is also setting a default user preference - that the user wants to be tracked. This may or may not be the case - whether the default is on or off that will be the majority setting since most people don't know / dont't care enough to change it.

I think a couple other posters here have pointed out the larger problem - without ads like this, the free internet dries up and suddenly you need to start paying for everything from gmail to facebook (or whatever other tools/blogs/webcomics any of us visit).
CSV is beautiful - for numbers. When you invoke strings, and quoting, and whatnot, it goes downhill fast. :)
Haven't seen SSI around much lately. Going to link http://l.md/bfx+ outputs this: http://laacz.lv/f/img/ssi.png
This was the most interesting of this series of notes yet.

And the conclusion was the weakest.

Thiel seems like a pretty creepy character. When you have enough FU money, you can indulge a really skewed view of the world (former Intel exec comes to mind). And this series of lectures illustrates Theil's. He thinks someone, a young and naive (pre-university) prodigy, is going to make him a wealtier VC by sharing with him their "secret" idea. He criticizes education and America's lack of meaningful innovation, yet he's made wealthy by vacuous ideas of "innovation" like Facebook. Then look at what he's contributed in the way of innovation. What are his qualifications as an "expert"? An online payments company and a company that analyzes data from the web to try to find "terrorists". This is innovation? We should hope his program participants will aspire to do better.

In his last lecture on biotech where he talks about a panel of VC making predictions about the future. Were any of these VC actually in the biotech sector? As long as they have lots of capital under their direction, does it matter?

When you are wealthy people will listen to you, no matter what you say. Alas, it may encourage the speaker to believe their own hype even more. Thiel is taking full advantage of this privilege.

I dunno. Sharks. Laser beams. The works. At least it finally might bring mobile electronic payment systems in the US up to the same standard as in Africa. Will take the US a while to catch up though.
I think something the author didn't really cover was upgrades. When elements are highly decoupled, it's easy to go and upgrade piece by piece. API changes can be factored in and dealt with relatively easily. (I believe this is something Amazon did right as well..)

I know this for a fact because upgrading a massive django deployment from 1.1 to 1.4 was a huge project for us.

That said, I still love all the out of box defaults that django provides and the fact that extending them is relatively painless as long as you spent a few years learning the ins and outs of the system ;)
I think you're misunderstanding. Of your examples, all of them use stock widgets, except for the last two.

In the last two they replaced stock controls with custom ones, even where they didn't have to, and that supports your hypothesis.

But all of the others, however, are using stock controls for all the controls where there is a stock control, and only using custom controls where there is no stock control.

The ability to customize the stock controls has increased a fair bit and gotten more popular as its gotten easier. But these developers (at least, I can't speak for the whole appstore) are using the standard controls.

What is true is that they aren't using the blue-pinstripe look of the original iPhone anymore.

The reason this distinction is important is that its a whole lot harder to do a custom control (like a turntable) than it is to use a standard control, and its also very easy to take that standard control and make it just the right shade of grey, or make it look like wood, etc.

Thus customizing how these standard controls look has gone up dramatically, yes.

They have added a blog post with an update
http://blog.linkedin.com/2012/06/06/linkedin-member-password...

Unfortunately they dont tell when they started salting the password and if they've found (and fixed) the hole that permitted the database leak!
My (previous) password was randomly generated, and it was on this list. Fortunately I had already changed it when I read about the breach earlier on Wednesday.
Its a feature thats definitely coming. As you said, our focus is on making the whole process hassle free.
How safe is it? If everyone started using this, couldn't password crackers adapt? In the recent LinkedIn leak for example, instead of looking for sha1('password'), they could just look for sha1(PwdHash('password'))? Or am I misinterpreting how it works?
Anyone knows how to contact Oracle Site's SysAdmin?
Speed and size - if you you were using images, you are going to incur an extra HTTP request, while using this method everything needed to draw the logo is already at the client-side. In terms of size, the HTML and CSS needed to draw the logo could well be smaller than that needed for an image. In this case the HTML+CSS is around 2.6K (without the Google analytics code), while a screenshot of the logo is around 10K - and the HTML+CSS version will scale to any size without pixilation.

Google's Marissa Mayer did a talk about Google's quest for speed a few years back, where she showed that an HTML version of the Checkout icon was faster than an image: http://www.bitcurrent.com/marissa-mayer-at-velocity09-and-go... (about halfway through that article).

A common mistake made in consumer apps is that user acquistion is seen as the key to success. It is true that you need to acquire users, but what you really need is a good hook and then to keep those users. Instagram's hook was that they made filters and sharing easy amd free. People wanted filters and the sharing part was a bonus. However, once they were there, they naturally had to take part in the social aspects which made it far more engaging and therefore they stuck around. After that, it is only a matter of time before others joined in.

> I think people who criticize Django have yet to make up their minds about what a framework is all about, and what, if anything, it's for. They just hold on to their utopian idea of what their framework should be.

No, they have a different idea of what a framework should do or not do. Doesn't mean they have some utopian idea just because it's not Django.

How to Sell Cars Online
Selling cars online has emerged as a popular trend and people also consider Internet as the best resource available to do so. Even you can sell your car as there are many websites that can do this task on your behalf.
I live in NYC, I use foursquare almost daily for keeping up with friends, and for getting venue recommendations. Specials are a nice bonus as well. However, I've tried using foursquare in smaller towns and it wasn't nearly as useful.
Psychologically, they rank below Paypal in my mind ... and that's pretty low.

You're certainly far, far from the norm because PayPal has tens of millions of active accounts and even people who hate it use it.

So, the biggest barrier for fb for me has nothing to do with trust and more to do with acceptance by merchants.

Your whole life consists of unique emotional moments. Record them with Xilora, share them with others. Or make private collection for your eyes only, and come back as often as you wish. Because your emotions are important
True. To clarify, I was just simplifying by calling my memory poor. I just have an attention deficit. So technically, I'm never committing to memory in the first place!
After some 15 years in advertising and countless books, I now recommend Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends...", of which many modern ad/marketing books are poor derivatives. I'd also add a book on marketing metrics; an Amazon search will bring up a number of them, all fairly similar. If you are interested in specific advertising tactics, I'd start with a book about writing direct-response copy because that's the most replicable and hence useful knowledge.
Might be a good idea to take that to stackoverflow. My suggestion though would be to use that little sauce that we can't achieve programmatically yet. Human intelligence. How often do you think you're going to need this data ? How often does it change ?

Cache it based on that. Whatever way you do it, queries like this are expensive. If you need it often enough, throw it into memory and invalidate as necessary. More often than not, your cache invalidation will use less lines than what you wrote up there.

Also, don't be afraid to drop into raw sql if you really want to do something a certain way. The example you posted above clearly looks like the ORM working against you.
I believe that argument relates very specifically to the application of a particular law, section 89 of the Extradition Act 1999 (http://www.legislation.govt.nz/act/public/1999/0055/latest/D...), which sets out the procedure for 'things' that have been seized.

There are other applicable laws, however. Section 25 of the Mutual Assistance In Criminal Matters Act 1992 (http://www.legislation.govt.nz/act/public/1992/0086/latest/D...) says that requests from foreign countries for assistance in criminal matters should be made to, and decided by, the Attorney-General. In addition, in New Zealand, it is illegal under section 252 of the Crimes Act to access a computer system without authorisation. Under section 248 of the Crimes Act (http://www.legislation.govt.nz/act/public/1961/0043/latest/D...), authorisation includes legal authorisation, so the NZ Police can access seized hard drives under the terms of the search warrant, and a computer system includes a part such as a hard drive. If the FBI employees weren't authorised to do so under law yet, because the warrant was issued to the NZ Police, and they directly interacted with Kim Dotcom's hard drive without his permission, they could in theory be convicted here.

New Zealand law allows anyone to lay an information (i.e. file a criminal charge), not just police, but only the government can request that someone be extradited, and so it is unlikely that the FBI employees will ever be charged.

It constantly amazes me that SuperGenPass hasn't caught on more. I don't use it for critical stuff (finance and email), but it provides a decent level of security for the less important stuff.
I would not recommend using CSS generated images in production – SVG is a much better choice. In this demo, the goal is merely to demonstrate the beautiful shapes behind the new logo.

(Sidebar: do you really need "justification" for creating anything?)
Just TextMate.
I've never read as much BS in my entire life...just because someone has made right decisions in the past doesn't give them a platform to spout gibberish in future...
It seems like WSJ is bent on villifying Silicon Valley. It would be great if for once they actually focused on companies that make great products in Silicon Valley and that are used by people all over. Of course, that would not drive pageviews.
Awesome concept! I just made a purchase, (Tallest Man on Earth, natch) and have a couple quick feedback points:

* Good on you for paypal - I wouldn't have actually given you my credit card info if you had asked for it, so that's a sale there. However:

* The lack of "congratulations" page after the paypal purchase makes me _really_ nervous. I'm not sure you got my order, and I'm not sure that I don't have something to worry about. It's only been 15 minutes, so I'll give it till morning before sending an email, but that lack of confidence is going to hurt you a lot I think.

* I think the curation aspect could be something that you could push harder: it's not just "deals", it's deals on albums that you are going to guarantee are worth listening to.

Anyway, nice job - the design is refreshingly minimal, and I dig the concept a lot. I makes me think of "collective bargaining" on a warehouse club level, but not skeevy.
Why do people make sand castles? Or sidewalk chalk-art? Why put energy into something seemingly trivial?

Because we (collectively) can.

And yes, people would be better off creating something 'useful'. But everyone has hobbies, and this may very well be just that -- someone's hobby project.

The page also gives congratulations to the new logo. I suppose this could even be a modern day tribute to honor Twitter's new direction.
Same here. Sucks too, because I liked that password.
Recaptcha's email solution isn't too elegant, but it works: http://www.google.com/recaptcha/mailhide/

If you are on a forum, you can link to a page with the Recatcha solution too (e.g. hosted for free on Github). You could combine it with a contact form too, and give visitors an option between the two.
I think what would be slickest is if up-arrow and down-arrow navigate local history, but history-search would navigate all history... I wonder if I can make it do that.
In what way does the W3C block browsers from changing the UI of form controls? Most interesting innovation happens outside of the standard's committees, and as long as it is standardized in a reasonable amount of time, that's ok.
