Agreed on Hypercritical being the stronger show now. It's also something that ages better, so that old episodes are still informative.

Is there a clear guide to only allowing "first party" cookies using Chrome?

Strange. There was a comment supporting you that referred to the "Ad men" that would downvote you.
That comment has completely disappeared.

They wouldn't necessarily even have to get you to click on a link. There have been numerous attacks against image processing libraries.
Re:Now Apple is (allegedly) rejecting apps that use Regular Expressions?
on Monday June 14, 2010 @11:59PM (#1431752)
Wow. Uninformed headline and speculation.
I'm pretty sure they're rejecting usage of an unofficial regex API. Nothing to get too excited about and I'm definitely sure they're not rejecting pcre, etc.

Microsoft is really throwing money at search lately. Bing is everywhere (Colbert, iOS 4, "Filomena", "Search Overload").
How long can they keep it up for the returns they're getting?

Also wanted to say thanks, especially for making all user-tracking optional.
In addition, I'm really happy to see Apple and Google keep cooperating on making WebKit better. Together you've now built the best desktop and mobile browser technology.

Seconded. Can't find anything like this in the release version of the Mac build.

The stable Mac version has better idle CPU usage. Doesn't cause my MBP fans to crank up so often.

Steam, AutoCAD, possibly Rhino. Why are all these companies doing their ports now, when Apple is so focused on mobile computing?
Are they just slow to react? Making a bet on the halo effect from iPhone/iPad?
