Anyone know if Whatsapp will be using Atlas, either overtly (displaying ads), or covertly (harvesting data in the background)?

Also, size limits. https://support.google.com/drive/answer/37603?hl=en

It seems as though you offer double the 100M file size limit on your free plan?

Let's look at this from a different angle... What if Apple already has a super cool headphone based wearable tech.

Maybe Apple RND came up with something like "Google Glass minus the visor" a while back. That something could well look like a chunky set of headphones, right?

Now let's take a look at the current wearables market... The high profile items are things like Glass, Pebble, Samsung Gear. And they're almost all painfully uncool (outside of Sillicon Valley, anyway).

If Apple were going to launch its chunky iHeadphones, it would know that it'd be up against the "dork factor." So it would make sense to spend some cash to negate that. If so, purchasing the coolest headphone manufacturer you can find, and tying their brand to your upcoming tech, makes a lot of sense.

$3 560 000 divided by 2, 12 times :-)

The effect of Moore's "law" is that processing power doubles approximately every 2 years, while the cost halves.

If 1 "unit" of processing currently costs $1; in 2 years time, 2 units will cost $1. Or that 1 unit costs 0.50.

12 cycles of Moore's Law puts that 3.56 million figure at $869.14. Unlocked cost on the Apple store: $749

Reverse scrolling a video is really slow, unless you set the key frames close together (in which case, you don't really gain much file size wise).

That's a typical example.

So why is Firebug telling me that you're pinging my email address to http://track.reinvigorate.net?

Agreed. I'm a South African who likes to travel. The Schengen visa system is hands down the worst visa process I've ever had to deal with (USA included).

The thought of those clowns getting their hands on the internet is terrifying.

Mr Doob tried something similar a while back...

Fun fact: AT&T played a large role in f###ing SA's internet up; with dodgy political deals, lousy infrastructure support and horrific bandwidth caps.

I'll just leave that there ;)

I managed to get one of my designers' fla animations to compile...

...into a very static (non animated) page.

Apparently it doesn't do dynamic masks, which pretty much rules out any Flash design project I have ever worked on since about 2001.

Also, how is this better than http://smokescreen.us/?

I had mine done last year. You'll also need to factor in the DHL shipping fees for returning your sample (30 Pounds from the UK, over and above whatever they charged for shipping it to you)

Several posters elsewhere in the comments seem to think it's the source code.

Regardless, this is precisely the sort of headline that a fear slinging, technophobic, "series of tubes" politician will latch on to. Doubly so in this case, what with HBGary's political connections...
