What's happened is the web is so poorly suited to making apps, that heroic efforts to make somewhat like desktop yields mass jubilation.
| danielpunkass OK, let's be real, people. MobileMe is one of the best web sites I've ever used. But it's still slow, awkward UI, clunky graphics. Web site! |
|
| danielpunkass Just registered for MobileMe. I know, I know... brilliant timing. But it's working "fine." |
|
| danielpunkass @amyhoy Tumblr has its own custom API which is not very well suited to an app like MarsEdit. I've asked them to consider changes but no luck |
|
| danielpunkass Here I thought I was only going to need ONE development-dedicated iPhone/Touch. |
|
| danielpunkass I bought new, somewhat nice blinds for my office. Hoping that investing in the space will make it (even) more enjoyable to work from. |
|
| danielpunkass @snitty Thank you! I appreciate the positive feedback. |
|
| danielpunkass iTunes store links should include a brief word that hints at the content of the link, so we know whether to refollow things we've seen. |
|
| danielpunkass Maybe with the Twitter follower bug some of the people who got sick of my bullshit will forget that they unfollowed me themselves. |
|
| danielpunkass Our apartment was leaking something fierce. Landlord came over and discovered a clogged roof drain which, unclogged, is now whirlpooling. |
|
| danielpunkass I don't think I've lost any followers. Maybe you all just had skank followers who were cleaned up by the powers that be. |
|
| danielpunkass @chockenberry This is why I think the failure to lift and/or clarify the NDA's applicability is "merely" a lower priority for Apple now. |
|
| danielpunkass @chockenberry I agree, it's tricky. But the source file itself has explicit terms of redistribution which may trump the NDA? I don't know. |
|
| danielpunkass @tankgrrl I blame the marketing department for the failure of that site :) |
|
| danielpunkass @chockenberry But Reachability.m is marked clearly with Apple's AS-IS free source license. So I suspect it's explicitly exempted. |
|
| danielpunkass Idea: somebody put the completely source code and thoughts about the SDK into the application bundle itself. If Apple distributes it... ;) |
|
| danielpunkass (I will not be the one to test the legitimacy of this interpretation of the NDA, but it would be nice if Apple would hurry up and weigh in). |
|
| danielpunkass So the big question is, does distributing a demonstration of interaction with an SDK reveal anything secret about the SDK itself? |
|
| danielpunkass To violate the NDA, you have to disclose something which can't reasonable be determined from Apple's own publicly available materials. |
|
| danielpunkass Therefore, distributing source code and/or talking about the use of those classes that make up the structure and design, is outside the NDA. |
