Don't miss the comments in the linked page for more insightful information.

So "ruby" is not a play on "perl"? I don't believe it.

grep Googlebot /var/www/log/* && rm -rf /var/www/site

If you are storing important info in $CLOUD, think twice.

So that .Spotlight-V100 store some kind of index, probably binary. I presume that any Mac reads it on any arbitrary USB drive it's plugged in (or, at least, when a search is triggered). By creating a specially-crafted, corrupted index I see a channel for denial of service attacks.

tl;dr Because the author says so.

You are being mean to Apple on HN. Expect being downvoted and eventually hellbanned.

Because two half serious make a full serious.

Meanwhile, in "first-world" places like Spain we're on the verge of starvation due to global unemployment and poverty.

It's a strange language when "getting laid" and "getting laid off" mean such different things.

It's hipnotic. I absolutely love it.

tl;dr

Stop being an asshole.

Commas and colons are unnecessary clutter in JSON, that's what they should change, not adding more complexity in exchange for nothing (dangling commas at the end? please). Quotes inside keys and values should also be optional unless they contain spaces.

JSON should be simplified (if any), not made it more complicated.

It sounds like a hoax to me. Even the "Dragos Ruiu" name is odd enough to be an anagram of something.

I've always used demonic names: belial, azazel, asmodeo, belcebu, astarot, kali, oni, behemoth, baal... (they are spanishized).

Also take a look at Antichthon Universalis (http://triptico.com/artwork/antichthon_universalis.html). The artwork is not as stunning (far from), but at least it's a real cypher with real meaning, still unbroken.

Email him.

Why would I want a square in my prompt?

Upvoted, if only for the "infographic" on Google vs Apple Maps. LOL!

That's another myth. Apple products had never been easy to use. iTunes is heavy and cumbersome and play lists never work as expected. Wheel iPods had erratic behaviour and its random/shuffling were crap.

And please don't start talking about XCode and development in general.

Things have worsen these times. "Acceptably understandable" is not the same as "easy".

This really great!

It's a non-sequitur.

The other 50% is from Nigerian scammers.

As for all news title containing a question, the answer is "no".

Very funny, but... isn't Lyons himself click-whoring with articles like this? He is (or has become) a part of the circus.

So you must swap distributions, or try recompiling the kernel.

Finally, and article that is not pure "Apple punditry and curmundgeontry"... Upvote!

I don't think so, as Jottit is an instant web page creator and it doesn't seem to be any ad there. Why bother? Just trolling? I'm amused.

This is the link I saw:

https://twitter.com/#!/carlosdelcasti2/status/16906170159189... (it's in spanish).

I also hate it. And the colon, for that matter.
