ROFISH

Airmail works fine, except I don't like the layout. Is there anyway to get what Mail.app calls the "classic" layout?

They still did not fix the delete keyboard key issue with Gmail: Pressing delete sends directly to the trash and skips the archive. There's no key shortcut for archive.

Which is odd, because iOS 7 has Gmail not offering "delete" but "archive" for the inbox.

Stupid question expecting stupid answers: Is there a reason why Bitcoin can't just be treated and regulated like any other foreign currency?

I wonder if the wording is wonky, but the meaning is technically correct: Not the data itself, but rather key management. The first two methods, 4-digit or complex password, will store a password-encoded key on iCloud. The second "don't create a security code" will not store a password-encoded key on iCloud. The key will instead be transferred via LAN, thus why it needs approval from another local device that has it.

This is just a hypothesis, I wonder if it's true?

Actually, I had an issue with Mail when I first started.

In years past, after an OS X upgrade, Mail.app would show a "Upgrade Mail" prompt before using. Now it appears that instead, it's happily showing a blank set of emails while it slowly (5 minutes-ish for me) converts to the new version.

This is, of course, confusing to the user because it doesn't show ANY indication that it's converting to a new version.

So likely, it's still converting the emails. That's why CPU spikes when you first load too; it's not Spotlight but the conversion process (and Spotlight is reading them while converting).

From the public? Maybe. However, some more tech-savvy sites are hit even harder. Apparently 50% of the readers of gaming site Destructoid use Adblock[1].

Those HYIP forums felt, to me at least, like it was Ponzi meta-investing. Many of the HYIPs paid out for a little while to encourage more 'investments'. So the part of the game was to get into early ones, but then get your money out before it closed.

Just to be clear, this requires a balance in your Stripe account? What if you do not have a balance? How does this affect the currently (already very slow) 7 day payout? If an account is balance holding, and then you withdraw to your own bank account, does that mean the 7 days starts then? What if you do not have enough balance?

Not so much Xbox Live, they charge five figures for patches: http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2012/07/microsoft-comes-under-...

The unintended consequence of charging that much for patches is that simple updates just don't happen, and that everybody gets a lesser game as a result. As much as one would say "get it right the first time", everybody makes mistakes. Thus when it costs $10,000 to fix a save game issue, it's may be a business decision to not patch. Thus, for better games, being in that position shouldn't happen.

I'm looking for something like this too. My big concerns of a Dropbox alternative is:

* Ability to handle large files (300MB incompressible Photoshop) and able to handle large complete data stores. (1 TB, which is impossible with Dropbox)

* Selectability for certain folders on certain users (no need for all data to be on all machines)

* The ability to 'archive' files to only the host.

* Good LAN networking with host so that the portable machines (iPads, Retina Macbook Pros with puny 128GB HDD) can use it fine.

Because I run a physical item e-commerce store, I am against this because I do not trust the states to come up with a reasonable solution. Handling the issue in our home state and city requires two accountants. I shudder at the thought of 50 state compliance.

Kinda odd saying that it has an expiration date. Aren't the same systems required for the next election?

This is great, but I have to sacrifice a perfectly good iPad to run on the TV out. This would be perfect if the Apple TV allowed apps.

I always wondered what would happen if a neutral party (EFF?) got a lot of money to essentially defend and countersue all patent troll claims, regardless of if they'd win or not. Hopefully this "scorched earth" plan would get the notice of judges and lawmakers to change the law.

Something that's been bugging me about Heroku is that the dyno price has stayed the same ever since launch: $0.05 per hour. Compare to services like Digital Ocean and AWS (who lowered prices significantly in the past few years), Heroku is starting to get very expensive.

The 2X dyno at 2x cost doesn't really make me happy, it just invites me to spend more money when it would be more cost-efficient to move.

I agree with the idea, but Apple is stuck with Intel's Xeon roadmap, which at this point multi-processor is lagging far behind the single processor lines.

Does anybody have a break-down by device? I'm interested in knowing how many active older iPads and iPhones are used these days.

On top of that why is that silly ABC keyboard used everywhere on TVs? I've seen it on the 360, Apple TV, and the Roku. I have to actively look for where the keys are. If it's QWERTY, I may have to push a few extra buttons, but I know where the keys are.

Does it have dependencies? Team management can't work, in my opinion, if you have a task named "fold shirts" but it appears and is assigned before somebody "buys shirts".

I'm not interesting in pirating apps, I'm interested in either prevention and/or not selecting iOS as a games platform. Nothing has shaken me more than buying an iPad 3 off Craigslist because the dude couldn't jailbreak it to get free apps. (And he definitely did not come across as a technical person.)

As a sidenote, I'm interested in hearing piracy numbers after this jailbreak. Is piracy still popular, or are people just jailbreaking solely for the mods?

I live in the states, though admittedly not in a major city. (Tucson, AZ) It's $56/month + taxes for comparable and $42+taxes minimum, both with softcaps. I imagine that for many parts of the country outside of top 50 cities, the price of internet is the same.

I agree with this sentiment for having over 4 years of heavy use. They have plenty of things that need updating (slow history, API sucks), but at least I get great support if I have trouble and need to call. The 2.2% fees aren't bad; not a great rate either, but it's keeping me from moving to Stripe, which has worse fees. Note that I have a traditional ecommerce store who sells real physical items.

You're right in that I don't need a rate API, but Shopify needs a shipping API. Something where I can say "6 shirt or 4 shirts and a jacket is flat rate, but 2 shirts and a poster is not because of the tube"

Many many many things, least of which is that it's not programmable. We can't set items that can go in flat rate boxes. We can't have "Free Shipping*" shipping, which is free shipping in the US and the equivalent discount in other countries, and other programmable shipping rates.

The button is working on Chrome/Windows but not Firefox/Windows. (Amusingly, it also works in IE9/Windows)

Sounds like a problem with the credit card system rather than Paypal, since it appears the customer used a credit card. If you sold iPhones via Stripe, you're still liable for the same chargebacks.

Can you clarify, with sources or more information?

Note this is an aside on USEFUL background apps, not spyware/crapware, since it appears he disabled the update mechanisms in the last two paragraphs:

Most of those background service apps (Google Update, Apple Push, Adobe Update) are because a tiny background app is necessary to preform certain functions, and check for updates in the background, which is a good thing!

For example, 'iTunesAgent.exe' on Windows was to simply detect if you had plugged an iPod in and auto pop-up iTunes. For usability, it makes sense; because otherwise you would plugin an iPod and get nothing or a confusing Windows 'dunno what to do with this drive' screen. And because of Windows' architecture (for better or worse), it requires a background app to do this.

The same for many of the updaters. I would much rather be sure Flash and Java are updated then go running without an important security update.

I still have yet to understand the "no background app, good or bad" manifesto. Good background apps barely use any CPU time, they barely use any memory (and Windows reports too much memory in the first place due to shared memory), and preforms useful functions.

The reason why I bought it is because it's Apple's cheapest laptop with two monitor outputs. I can hook up three additional screens to do programming/Photoshop/whatever.

You can't do two/three (native) screens on an Air or even the non-Retina MBP. (You can with USB, but it's laggy and there's no USB 3 things for Mac.)
