It's a marketing ploy to get you to buy larger (wider) monitors in order to avoid line wrapping.

My only gripe about developing on a 13" MBP is not being able to have 2 buffers side by side without wrapping the snot out of half the lines.

I'd let them slide on that if they had the brass to announce it was running on CoreData.

I bet Forstall did it.

Forstall has the backups.

Hope someone grabs Palin's old (compromised) email. This decision by Yahoo is a troll's wet dream.

I'm told this was scheduled.
Re:Ask HN: OSX Screen Capture Software on Thursday July 18, 2013 @02:54AM (#6062189)
Grab (cmd+shift+4) for capturing images. QuickTime for video.

No 3rd party app needed.

The behavior is nuts, not the ad. The ad is perfectly in tune with the unfortunate reality. Today people engage more with gadgets and are obsessed with capturing everything on camera.

While Apple and other manufacturers are the cause of the former, it's all the startups feeding on people's narcissistic tendencies thats caused the later, and in my opinion, the worst part.

We're not going to look back at this in the future and shake our heads at the absurdity of the ad, but the absurdity of the culture.

And pbcopy/pbpaste on OSX.
Using multiple keychains would also help.

I can't tell if this is satire or not, it's almost as if I'm reading http://funroll-loops.info/
Re:New Scheme-Based GPU Programming Language on Sunday July 14, 2013 @12:15PM (#6041254)
Not to mention GPUs have no stack, no recursion.
There's a difference between lying and carefully choosing your words.

Obligatory comment to remind people this is satire.

FWIW, that's a market of only 300k people, who all learn norwegian and english fluently in school.
The strategy is to appease wall street and shareholders. Doesn't matter what their plan is or what they do, as long as they have a plan and do something.

While somewhat rare for publicly traded companies, Amazon has shown that companies can float while prioritizing long term strategies above everything else.

Re:Can one run a server & still maintain personal privacy? on Wednesday July 03, 2013 @07:35PM (#5988201)
Given you're on HN, you probably know a few people in the industry, ask around and try to find a 1U colo deal on unused rackspace (aka the brocolo). Get a cheap 1U atom server from supermicro, throw some disks in it and you're done.
Re:Bart employee salaries CSV on Wednesday July 03, 2013 @04:21AM (#5983138)
Thats the strategy, divide and conquer, make the private sector hate the public sector, make the nonunion workers hate the union workers, etc. As soon as they have enough haters to form a critical mass, the hated group gets shit on and they repeat the process with the next group.
Re:U.S. bugged EU offices, computer networks on Saturday June 29, 2013 @04:21PM (#5963640)
The politicians might say nasty things and express outrage in public but nothing will change. EU is still in a recession hell and they're nothing Washington can't soothe over with a few checks.

Cash rules everything around me. CREAM get the money, dolla dolla bill yall.
