yeah the slot loading iMacs from 1999 ish had it on the right hand side. You could press it in with a paperclip. Not sure about now...

Re:Ask HN: Why do big companies tend to only build with Java? on Tuesday November 15, 2011 @10:48AM (#3238591)
Thats an interesting point about employees. I've seen a Java team take 6 months to hire 3 new developers in London. That's before development even started :)

Ask HN: Why do big companies tend to only build with Java?

I want to understand one thing at major companies: Why Java?Is this a company investment thing, they're in bed with IBM? Is it a mentallity thing? Is it a compiled language thing? Is it a security thing?It's certainly not a speed thing. Every team I have had experience with working with on a Java platform has taken ages to deliver anything. CMSs that I could build rapidly with the likes of...

Correct. It's not the quality of the competing app, or it's closeness to my functionality. It's the consumer confusion, and the blatant piggy backing off of others success which leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I'm more surprised Apple doesn't deal with it.

Here's a good one I was told about a Twitter client I developed: "The links in the tweets just open up a webview when you press them..." - It was rejected on this basis, and this was the appeal board telling me this... :(

Yeah that was a bug - sorry!

Hey - there is a new settings section in the Settings.app where you can change this :)

Thanks for the feedback!

Both your requests are on the to-do list but require some help from the Clicky team unfortunately. I could do multiple API calls for each site but it would be good to do one call and get back the data I need...

With regards to notifications, I could actually look at doing that now, assuming users were willing to part with their API key to a hop notification server. Something also the clicky guys may do anyway that we can tag along to.

I developed ClickyTouch, and would love some user feedback from anyone (a)using Clicky Analytics, and (b) their experience with ClickyTouch and what gaps are missing. Really keen to improve

Really like the idea. It's kind of like the 37Signals stuff, although a bit less formal, and more about social groups. Could be interested for running projects though.. will try it.

Ask HN: Web Analytics iPhone App Feedback

Hi AllI know some of you use Clicky for your web analytics. I've developed a native application and am interested (before I push out for beta testing) what data/features are important to you. Even if you don't use Clicky, you may have a view on what an iPhone app should consider for a web analytics stats app...What Clicky data is important for you to see on a per site basis?How flexible with...

I've also updated the final sentence to "could be happening", that is what I meant and should have been more careful.
Re: on Thursday June 03, 2010 @01:00PM (#1401829)
The point of the article is in hope that Apple or whomever are looking beyond stats and material stuff such as "they have a swimming pool", and seeing if there is a more underlying reason for it.

There may not be, which is fine. I'm simply questioning that they should be if they're not. Right now there is no evidence that they are other than they are looking at it. At what we don't know.

If that deserves deletion, so be it.

Re: on Thursday June 03, 2010 @12:54PM (#1401805)
Yeah I get what you mean... that wasn't my intention with the argument though. Maybe some clarification needed.
Re: on Thursday June 03, 2010 @12:40PM (#1401775)
The article is questions, not statements.
Interested in people's opinions and experiences with this. As a blogger, I naturally fear opinion and comments in response to my blog entries, but they are good for debate and ultimately in creating content on sites for free....
