Yes, if this is Jonathan Ive's team, it's the industrial design team only.

mxey··on Zsh 5.0 released
Everyone ships with the development 4.3.x series, because stable Zsh releases are very rare and the development series is actually very stable. It is not just OS X by far.
mxey··on GitHub Android App Released
Github for Mac is much easier to use than the Git CLI. Something similar to Linux would be great so I don't have to explain the weird Git commands to everyone who wants to do a quick contribution.
mxey··on ESR: Cisco provides a lesson
I don't see the connection. The Linux kernel being under GPL means manufacturers had to release source code for their devices. Where does the userspace come in?

Do OpenWRT and the like even use GNU userspace tools? I would assume they use Busybox.

mxey··on PHP is much better than what you think
Funny. People criticize PHP the language and the PHP fanboys retort by praising PHP the platform.

Jeff Atwood more or less said that we should provide the platform advantages of PHP in other languages in order to steer new developers there.

mxey··on Python 3.3.0 beta 1 released
How are they stuck? Most offer both Python 2 (as python), and Python 3 (as python3). Which makes perfect sense for a new language revision.

We can talk again once that equally good device exists.

You can't get GPL apps. There are other licenses.
mxey··on Apple's Crystal Prison and the Future of Open Platforms
Yes, but the warning message appears only for unsigned apps, not for signed apps outside of the Mac App Store. The article is misleading.
mxey··on Apple's Crystal Prison and the Future of Open Platforms
The post claims that Mountain Lion will by default only allow apps from the Mac App Store, where Apple takes a 30% cut. That is not true — Mountain Lion also allows signed apps by default, and getting a certificate for signing is free.
mxey··on Emotions Every User Enjoys
Every user enjoys? As an introvert, I don't enjoy being flooded with faces like on Facebook.
mxey··on Germany sets new solar-power record
For a hundred thousand years.
mxey··on Perl rant by Erik Naggum
Perl 6 is a different language. Perl 5 is in active development with yearly releases.
mxey··on Ask HN: MacBook Pro still preferred laptop for non-MS development?
I switched from Ubuntu on a ThinkPad to a MacBook Air 13" from mid 2011 and I love it.
mxey··on Build iOS Apps In Ruby - Available Summer '12
From a first look, MacRuby does a better job of integrating with Objective C/Cocoa.
mxey··on Google's Python style guide
That code is never executed because it fails to parse. I think you can catch SyntaxError if you import a file with broken syntax.
