mrpollo··on Xcode 4.1 now available free from the Mac App Store
Pretty sure its not the Official way, but i would just take advantage of the new Virtualization feature, and run VM's of older OS, assuming you know where to get the images in the first place
mrpollo··on [dead]

mrpollo··on Why the higher-end iPad model will be called iPad Pro

mrpollo··on Wii-js, interact with Nintendo Wii via Javascript
First of all thanks for sharing this, i completely agree with you, Node is where all the fun is happening right now in the JS world but there are more areas where it could span specially in Gaming, since JS is growing in popularity i think in the following days we will keep seeing more places where we can use our JS skills, i just hope that Nintendo picks up where they left with their browser, but i wont blame them if they limit what you can do with it. In another topic i think that you picked a great way to empathize by working on a console, ill be paying attention to your releases. Excellent work

mrpollo··on Only in Germany: An API with opening hours
I've seen the same thing happen with 80% of the state sponsored services online in Mexico, and i think this isn't for security, its pure bureaucracy.
mrpollo··on Sorry HTML 5, mobile apps are used more than the web
only because apps have had better traction and have a billion dollar industry behind it, its comparing the wilderness with the walled garden
mrpollo··on Hulu puts itself up for sale
hope Yahoo! buys out Hulu!, and maybe even PopCap too
mrpollo··on Dear Yahoo, hire me as your next CEO
downside of bringing all that people from the outside would be to loose the current talent thats on board, imagine the people that have stayed with yahoo through the worst being limited in creativity not having much freedom hoping for a chance to lead being shut down again by putting someone else from outside in charge, i know i would quit.

on the other hand i do agree that they could have done better if they'd remained an operations level leads type of company, kinda like all the cool cats are doing right now.

mrpollo··on WordPress install is too slow, so I created this 90 second installer.

mrpollo··on My 10 UNIX Command Line Mistakes
i once did `sudo mv . /var/www/` when in root... i had been copying files to my webserver.. before i knew it my connection had closed and i couldn't ping the server, after running to the colo i find i had no backups my rsync had been failing for the last couple of days and i had failed to check the logs, after pulling and old copy of the site from what i think it was one of the developers laptops, i was able to get the site running, old and w/o the latest db, after a while i mounted the drive and for my surprise everything was still there, lesson learned always check your current path... i always find myself just typing as fast as i can and sometimes while switching from tty's i loose track of where i am...

mrpollo··on Ask HN: Is it worth paying 36 dollars for Pandora (ad free version)?
after years of using pandora w/o paying, i recently made the decision of trying it, i can say the pandora one client is really bad, the music is exactly the same, just no ads, and on the web you can change your ads for custom backgrounds, but to be honest, sometimes i miss those pretty ads of them on the sides. i wish they made their mac player better

mrpollo··on Ask HN: Who's Hiring? (Jan '11 H1b/International Edition)
Been working on a TN for a year now as a web developer, it's true to get it you need a qualifying degree under the NAFTA professions list which is really "outdated", I was lucky enough to get an graphic design related degree, so my lawyer advices to get a "graphic design/ web developer" title, had to modify the job description to match a little the NAFTA listing for s graphic designer, I should say that crossing from Mexico to the US on a TN is a very pleasant experience not sure about why would it be a different experience for Canada, The biggest difference from TN-H1B is that on H1 you get to apply for a 5 year process to get a green card if your employer is willing to get it for you,

I think this thread was long due, there's very little support for international talent aside from companies like Qualcomm like. USA should have a visa to help startups get international talent, making it easier for everyone
