Does anyone know if this is, or will be, powered by microformats?


Site looks okay so far. Is this just for movies? What's the feature that sets it apart from IMDB or rottentomatoes.com? I see there is a user karma, but I don't see what it's based off of other than ...contributions?

Anyway, looks like some potential here if you can get a user base, but I don't really get the benefit of joining or coming back on a regular basis.


If the site covers all sorts of products, would you find it more useful?

The user karma is pretty basic right now, but more to come..


I avoid using my phone for anything other than phone since "upgrading". At first I thought it was just the developer build, but no. It's just unusable.


Same here. I tend to avoid using it for just about anything. Thankfully, my girlfriend didn't upgrade hers when I did, so between the two of us we still have one usable phone until the iPhone 4 hits Canada.


Objective-C has bee around for a long time, and certainly isn't just for Cocoa/Apple.


Objective-C only continued to exist past the 80s because of Apple/NeXT. And the closest thing it has to a formal definition is the source code to Apple's GCC fork.


Marissa Mayer.


I'd buy that.


Yeah, pretty much a desire to learn it and not get too frustrated if things don't go your way at first. I'm still learning too, but there are some good tutorials out there. Here are a few links:

Having tried Haiku a few weeks ago, I will say it has a lot of potential. The fact that is has a HIG (human interface guidelines) means it could actually go beyond a hobby OS. I'd like to see some more developers get behind this and see where it goes.


This is very good news. Less spammy shitty apps makes more room for real developers, and less frustration for users.


Interesting. I wrote a similar blog post that I had planned on posting this morning. Guess I don't have to now! http://ryanleland.com/2009/11/iphone-developers-arent-stupid...


I own an iPhone but don't really follow the development side of things so maybe you could answer a question:

A short while ago all the iPhone devs were complaining that their apps were being overshadowed by total crap that was being churned out and sold at 99c.

Did that get fixed? Because that seems to be the downside of the easy charging of consumers, yet no-one has mentioned it during this recent storm in a teacup.


I don't on windows either.


Same here. I used Win 95 through XP without ever installing AntiVirus or AntiSpyware, and I never had malware.


...that you knew about.


I suppose if it is unnoticed, it is symbiosis -- like those hordes of bacteria (and viruses?) that live within and without all humans. (Assuming any remote harm would be noticed too.)
