I think one of the appeals of TM1 was that it WAS a native Mac app and felt like one. Qt apps never 'feel' completely native, so if you went down that path you'd end up with an awkward, substandard, non-native text editor and might as well be using Sublime Text.

Depending on the configuration, it can be accessed from a remote computer. In this case, it was configured for localhost access, however it is entirely possible that it could be world-accessible.

You probably didn't need to copy and paste the entire error message. You can easily access the webpage through Google's cache if you're having problems – http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?hl=en&outpu...

A lot of EA's stuff is ported to Mac with Cider/TransGaming. From memory The Sims 3 is done that way.

I'm all for Assange's senate bid, but given he doesn't seem to have declared/decided which state/territory he will be running for the Senate in, I'm curious as to how these data can be considered accurate/representative of any actual electoral outcome.

Just as an aside, you get free registration with App Hub as a student via DreamSpark (or at least you did about a year ago; I assume it's still the case.)

I'm pretty sure for .au domains you need to have a connexion with the domain (either it being your name or the name of a registered business you own.)

To be fair, it's pretty horrid on OS X as well - several of these issues apply cross-platform (iTunes WiFi sync error messages are presented to me on a daily basis running Lion, for example.)

I'm not sure about US law, but in Australia the directors could be personally in breach of their statutory duties by (even symbolically) approving such a transaction without checking it out.

This was a huge transaction by anyone's standard – it could definitely be argued that the directors weren't acting with the required standard of care by approving it so quickly and readily, which puts them in a really awkward place; damned if they do, removed from the board if they don't.

Again, this is in the context of Australian corporate law, but I imagine it's not incredibly dissimilar in the US.

Oh, my mistake - that is actually the title. Thanks.

Unless the title of the blog post has been changed since submission to HN, why the editorialised title?

Edit: I've since learnt that that is actually the title of the post. It still seems kind of sensationalist none-the-less.

I'm just the messenger – by no means am I in any way associated with HN.

You'll probably need to start a new account, unfortunately – there doesn't appear to be any protocol for being 'unhellbanned'.

pferreir, just a heads-up - you've been hellbanned. This means all of your comments are automatically marked as [dead], but you can't see this.

Ahh, I didn't encounter any profanity… that sounds like quite an unfortunate situation.

What on earth was so inappropriate?

I was under the impression that the iOS kill-switch was exclusively for rogue apps/malware.

Has it been used for legally questionable apps before? A bit of Google-fu didn't turn anything up immediately.

Google Reader provides subscription management and stuff, so it does have server-side features. This app allows you to access those subscriptions.

I'm missing a whole bunch of keys – I previously had about 4 keys registered, now it's just one.

You didn't read the article:

Unrelated note: what's best practice for quoting on HN?

Thanks very much – I am indeed trying from Australia. Seems insane that they're breaking URLs in an attempt to serve us 'local' content.

The two linked popsci.com pages are both giving 404 errors for me – are you able to find a working link? They look interesting!

(Technically speaking, the web server is returning 200 OK, but it's 'Page Not Found')

Haha, hi there! Perhaps I was a little harsh in my comment - I really do like your site.

They're certainly not bad (and what I subscribe to in RSS) when one considers the field.

A lot of it is very US-centric and some of the 'rumours' aren't very news-worthy (the numerous stories on dock connectors for the iPad 3 come to mind) but it's far more like a news site that works mostly on facts (well, as close to facts as rumours can come) than mere speculation and conjecture. Arn, the guy who runs it, is an MD which might explain the difference to an extent.

I don't know what it's like elsewhere, but here in Australia my Visa Debit card has exactly the same transaction protection system as a Visa Credit card.

The problem is that making a change like requiring authorisation (à la Core Location) for Address Book would cause backwards compatibility hell.

I find the layout irritating as well. While The Noun Project is good for common nouns, if you're looking for something slightly out of the norm, you'll have to scroll through endless pages to find something that will fit.

Other than this, it's an excellent resource for any iOS project (or anything else, for that matter.)

That's interesting, I've got a Core 2 Duo which I assumed would be similar to the i3 in terms of power. I guess it shows that processor versioning is more than just marketing.

I just ran this (using the PHP CLI) on my Lion MacBook Air and it took far, far longer than 30 seconds - 172, to be exact.

Not being at all familiar with the underlying mechanisms, does anybody understand why it would take so much longer on {PHP 5.3.6, Lion, my MacBook Air, the PHP CLI}?

I swear, whenever I start to implement something for my Parse-based app, Parse just goes and adds it to their framework. Stop making my life so easy!
