Re:Top ThemeForest author/designer earned $47,000 in September

I've purchased a few themes as well, however every time I've gone to do it I usually contact the author via email first and offer to buy the theme directly from him for 30-40% off. I save money, they get more money, we all win.

And he only got $29,140 if he was using ThemeForest exclusively. If he was selling themes elsewhere, he only got to keep $11,750 of that $47,000. ThemeForest takes an enormous cut.

iTunes Match, so it's streaming and download.

Especially since I pay $25 a YEAR for 256bit AAC streaming audio to all of my computers and mobile devices. Spotify is simply too expensive.

Re:The Google Wallet, a lifetime log of your purchases

If you use them for email then they already know much more about you than you think. What's the difference between Google and Master Card knowing your purchases? Unless you cash your paychecks every week and only spend cash then a company still knows everything you purchase.

Re:Breakthrough: The Secret to Making Processors 1,000 Times Faster
on Saturday September 10, 2011 @06:51PM (#2982710)
I think I remember reading an Intel article about something like this not too long ago. You can't just do this because of a few factors. When you start stacking the die like this, the latency grows. You now have to wait for signals to travel up through multiple processor die before it gets to the die that will process the instruction. It's this reason that you end up with diminishing returns when making processors "taller".
Not only that, but unless you can increase the speed of the FSB by 100 times, you will have a serious bottleneck between the processor and the motherboard. You're now funneling 100 CPU's worth of information through a socket and medium designed for 1 CPU.

Except you can bet on getting about 24 hours of sleep time on a Windows machine (my HP laptop lasted a little over 24 hours on a full charge) compared to the ~4 weeks of standby you get on a MacBook.

Re:GoDaddy's New "Selective DNS Blackouts" Policy

People honestly use GoDaddy for anything other than domain names? NEVER use the same company to host your DNS as you registered your domain with. At that point you're pretty much putting all your eggs in one basket.

Re:SSL Certificate Scandal Exposes Bug in Mac OS X
on Thursday September 01, 2011 @03:13PM (#2951334)
The problem is the certificate can be re-added when you do an update (if the update included new root CA's). Thus it's usually safer to just mark the CA as untrusted.

Re:IPhone Apps Design Mistakes: Over-Blown Visuals (2009)
on Wednesday August 31, 2011 @07:57AM (#2945159)
No, it does not. It's what the application DOES that sells the app. I can almost guarantee you that you would sell more if you didn't have such an ugly (in my opinion) UI. I bought MotionX because it was only $0.99. A few weeks later I stopped using it because I could not stand to look at the UI any longer. Now I'm just back to using the Maps app that comes with the iPhone despite it not having turn-by-turn directions.
