I guess generating an email link doesn’t work for WSJ anymore. No wonder traditional media gets its back kicked in.

When it comes to podcasting, Marco and Gruber are on two different levels; I don't think Arment is jumping ship for the sake of money.

>Look, his post may be insightful and interesting

>I think what app.net is doing is interesting and great, just not these types of blog posts.

Nice contradiction. And perspective from someone who knows what he's talking about as a result of building a competitor is invaluable insight and quite interesting to me.

I don't get why you think Dalton is doing this solely for promotional purposes, but hey, you're entitled to your opinion.

Oh, and in response to your previous post: plenty of people are "carrying the water" and are calling Twitter out on their bullshit.

1. If you use a Retina display for even a week, the non-Retina display will look considerably worse when you switch back; you can't tell the difference until you actually use the device for an extended period.

2. I've heard from a few people that this is the case, but also that the iPad 4 charges faster, actually delivers on the 10-hour battery life claims and runs noticeably cooler.

Unrelated: I hate Gruber's pedantic style when it comes to Apple product names. Seriously, just write it the way Apple markets it.

I find his pricing strategy for the game rather interesting. The game is free to play and contains no ads, but for $0.99, you can upgrade to a "full" version and unlock a few extra features. I think this model will definitely attract a lot of people, but I'm curious as to how many people will actually decide to pay for that upgrade (I did after about 15 minutes with the game ‒ I love it.)

Jim Dalrymple hinted that there will be two separate events, so take that as you will (if you know him or are familiar with his infamous "Yep", then you should pretty much consider two separate events a guarantee.)

Seems like they're saying this: "If you plan on using the API like many people already use it, don't bother."

Also, what category would LinkedIn and Instagram's usage of the API fall under?

I wouldn't say it has been accused of being vaporware, but I think the reason some people aren't backing it is because they believe it may just be an API and nothing more (when in fact there's a working proof-of-concept alpha version).

Also, to those that've backed the project and want access to the alpha: email [email protected] and you'll be able to get in. :-)

Batch has received some updates, but there's been a lack of new features & updates over the past 6 months, and I've stopped using it because very few people are using it.

I can't help but agree with you and think they'll be shutting down relatively soon; both have been maintained less and less, and I highly doubt Airbnb wants to let the team continue working on either of them.

It'll load, but it won't allow you to sign in, Tweet, etc.

Not only is the website down, but it seems the entire API is as well.
