ff10··on Jonathan Ive and the Future of Apple
I would not say the author was fawning, but it is obvious, and such articles try to explain that exact detail, that Jobs was and still is an immense influence. Writers need to – at least – acknowledge that, even if some people are tired of it.
ff10··on Apple CEO Tim Cook challenges Obama with impassioned stand on privacy
iOS lets you do backups wirelessly and wired with iTunes, the former while you are within reach of your own network. Their business model can potentially be compatible with privacy since it does not rely on personal data gathering. Their profit is generated by actually selling devices and digital goods.
ff10··on David Carr Dies at 58
His wife is working as an international operations manager for Shake Shack. I don't think they rely on handouts. I suggest donating to addiction treatment centers.
ff10··on Wanderers: a short film of humanity's expansion into the Solar System [video]
Because we have unlimited time and unlimited things to consume on earth. Who'd give a shit about what's behind the horizon?

I'm just saying the audacity to suggest to "fix" mortality is stunning. The implications are unforeseeable, on so many levels. People might not be as idealistic as you make them out to be.

ff10··on Wanderers: a short film of humanity's expansion into the Solar System [video]
There is no single social contract, but if there is, it very well has to be reviewed before we "fix" mortality. And who says that the further exploration of the universe (which is happening since a few thousand years anyway) is tempting to a critical mass with an unlimited lifespan where distractions are manifold and any simulation more convenient and less dangerous than the exploration of the universe in person.
ff10··on Yeah, I'm sick. Read all about it
About the issue with it hasn't got a name: wouldn't be a human biologist be interested in researching this thing? Plus getting his or her name to name the disease?
ff10··on Roman Verostko, the grandfather of computer art
Verostko is represented by DAM Gallery in Berlin. I had the pleasure to see some of his works in real life in the exhibition Frieder Nake a & Friends at the same place. If you're in Berlin, check out the gallery. Right now Vera Molnar is exhibited. (Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with the gallery.)
ff10··on Introducing Swift
Same project, not mixed in files.
ff10··on Introducing Swift
Is that it? You have nothing more to say? JS, really? Can I say Scala?
ff10··on Introducing Swift
You may know what a constructor is, but maybe not know what a designated initializer does. ;-)
ff10··on Snowden's letter: Big things are happening in Denmark
He probably would've lost more if he would've told the blatant truth about Putin. Everyone knows that his statement regarding the Russian leader are to be taken with a grain of salt.
ff10··on Rappers, Sorted by Size of Vocabulary
Really surprised MF Doom is not ranked higher – are his side projects included?
ff10··on Moves joins Facebook
Though not OS, Apple's Healthbook might help you out soon.
ff10··on Moves joins Facebook
99.999% of 99.999% figures are pulled out of somebodies ass.
ff10··on MtGox.com HTML comment tag: "put announce for mtgox acq here"
I have no other explanation. Wikipedia doesn't, too.
ff10··on Nuclear fusion milestone passed at US lab
Agree. It's great to have that energy source. Storing it is a whole different thing.
ff10··on HP Chromebook 11
The freedom to not choose between a multitude of operating systems?
ff10··on Music to Let you Concentrate
I regularly go with Autechre "Perlence Subrange 6-36", Alva Noto's Xerox Vol. 1, Haliod Copies, Oval - "Systemisch"
ff10··on Mac Pro
I wonder if any of the damage done with FCP X has been made up for in the last two years since release. What's the word in the studios?
ff10··on Wuala: Secure Cloud Storage
This applies to good guys all over the world since ever. Btw, I did not state anywhere that I consider Switzerland as being the good guys. Applying qualities of character to a state is misleading IMHO.
ff10··on Wuala: Secure Cloud Storage
Switzerland is a non-EU country. Switzerland has a long tradition of civil liberties, rights and participation. This results in regular legally binding referendums on the one side and tax evasions from civilians of other countries on the other.
