iPhone 2.0 SDK: The No Multitasking Myth

Apple has a responsibility to iPhone users to develop guidelines that ensure that the system continues to work as expected, doesn’t overheat, and doesn’t plunge in battery life as new applications are installed. Not allowing third party developers to install background processes is part of that plan. It would be irresponsible for Apple to kick open the floodgates for developers and then blame users for not understanding how to manage their own process allocation within the iPhone’s thermal envelope and resource constraints. #

Well it's irresponsible from apple to think their users are dumb and try to tell developers what kind of applications they'd like to have. The current SDK only allows for glorified local versions of the existing iphone webapplications. It doesn't allow any program that add's new functionality like more bluetooth profiles, reading out the sim card, displaying toolbar icons, last.fm's music logging, etc. Hopefully the final firmware will eventually be hacked too and we can use the interesting stuff (software that is able to use the hardware as is) on 2.0, too ...

Michelle Obama's Democratic Convention Speech

Michae Phelps was a real dick to this guy.
Joe Biden!
Hey, I didn't get a text message. Wonder what service they're using and if it cycles through the numbers instead of doing on blast.It seems to me they scrambled this post out there at midnight because all the news networks were clamoring over a DNC source that gave it away, albeit not official.(via Joe Biden!) Breaking news: the text message is out and it's official... Barack Obama has selected Joe Biden to be his running mate! Please take a minute to share your story with Joe and welcome him into our movement for change. For those of you who are from ...
Don't vote for Obama...or McCain then
I completely understand why someone would not vote for Obama because of his record of voting pro-choice[1]. But why wouldn't there be any disdain towards McCain's inconstant record[2,3]? If this is the one key issue that determines votes for a lot of individuals and there's no wavering--it's either you're for or against. Is McCain really the right person to cast your voice? It's seems to me like he's pandering, especially with his change in stance in 2000 when he first ran for president. Now it's 8 years later and we seem to forget he was pressed about his "position" then[5]. If he ...
★ Raining on the OpenClip Parade
After reading this it makes me think copy-paste was something deliberately left our of the iPhone because of security and/or performance concerns of the SDK. We all know Apple is working on a solution but it's something not as easy to implement as it sounds - with Apple's need to limit how apps work on the phone (including their own).(via ★ Raining on the OpenClip Parade) The OpenClip project, which debuted this week, describes itself as “a non-profit, open-source, community-effort project, which promotes a framework for the iPhone that allows users to copy / paste between participating applications.” The obvious shortcoming, ...
