This has been part of the product since launch. Not a huge mistake.

This article might be a bit dated. Written in May 2012, but Foundation 3.0 came out on June 29, 2012.

This is the second version of the Lockitron.
Re:Lockitron: Keyless entry using your phone on Tuesday October 02, 2012 @01:01PM (#4602976)
This is their second product. The original Lockitron came out in 2011 or so. I know many people who installed them in their offices.

When I was in College (just graduated a few months ago), GitHub applied a $7 coupon to my account, which covers a micro account. All I did was ask about student pricing. They should probably offer an educational discount with .edu email verification.
Re:What skeuomorphism is (and isn't) on Wednesday September 12, 2012 @10:58AM (#4510938)
I too give them the benefit of the doubt. I think its just a phase, which they will hopefully move past quickly.
Re:What skeuomorphism is (and isn't) on Wednesday September 12, 2012 @12:36AM (#4509168)
I think this issue is beyond defining. Skeuomorphism has been generalized to cover most designs that include faux textures or design elements.

When it comes to Apple's design decisions, they absolutely have no idea what they are doing with all of these disgusting flourishes. see this article: http://www.fastcodesign.com/1670760/will-apples-tacky-softwa...

I am in a principles of programming languages class currently, and we are doing very similar work. We are writing interpreters, type checkers, and more for a new language our teacher has defined. We are doing all of this in Scala.
Re:Apple economics: a free laptop every year. on Tuesday May 03, 2011 @09:04PM (#2512380)
Why would you have two contracts?

Buy iPhone 3GS June 2009, Contract ends in June 2011. June 2010, sell 3GS, buy iPhone 4 and now contract ends 2012.

It is an early upgrade which requires you to sign a new two-year contract.

Re:Apple economics: a free laptop every year. on Tuesday May 03, 2011 @07:14PM (#2512067)
Then make it worth more. Things like Applecare, the software you have on it, and other upgrades can increase the value.

Load it up with expensive software and you will earn a higher resale value.

Re:Apple economics: a free laptop every year. on Tuesday May 03, 2011 @07:12PM (#2512062)
I have worked at an apple store, we only require proof that you are a student(student id, transcript, staff paycheck) and a drivers license #.

There is no check for the student pricing. You are however limited to buying one computer a year with the discount. So if you try to buy another computer within a year using an education discount with the same DL, you will be denied the discount.

Re:Apple economics: a free laptop every year. on Tuesday May 03, 2011 @07:08PM (#2512044)
US carriers do require this. After one year, AT&T usually lets you get the newest iPhone at the subsidized cost if you sign another contract. It still locks you in to two years from the date that you last bought a new phone.
Re:Apple's Role in Japan during the Tohoku Earthquake on Monday March 14, 2011 @11:50PM (#2325800)
Honestly everyone needs to get over themselves and their opinions on "roles" in this terrible time.

This was an inspiring story coming from a truly frightening and terrible situation.

Re:Apple's Role in Japan during the Tohoku Earthquake on Monday March 14, 2011 @11:19PM (#2325681)
This is totally an Apple thing. I worked Apple retail, and they tell you all the time that Apple is not in the computer business. They are in the people business. I can see this happening at any major Apple store given the extreme circumstances.
