If this goes anything like AppEngine they will wait until it gets popular, then start charging $0.25 per line of code you write with it.

Except Zynga holds all that information.
RyanKearney | 14 years ago | on: GoDaddy's New "Selective DNS Blackouts" Policy
People honestly use GoDaddy for anything other than domain names? NEVER use the same company to host your DNS as you registered your domain with. At that point you're pretty much putting all your eggs in one basket.

Ah, it will be the PPC -> x86 mess all over again. Can't wait!

But if you ask for a refund after a few months then it's not like you were going to use the full 1 or 2 years anyway, so what do you have to lose!

The problem is the certificate can be re-added when you do an update (if the update included new root CA's). Thus it's usually safer to just mark the CA as untrusted.

Are screensavers considered useful?

I'm not too sure I'd go with a load testing company that can't even keep their own website up.

No, it does not. It's what the application DOES that sells the app. I can almost guarantee you that you would sell more if you didn't have such an ugly (in my opinion) UI. I bought MotionX because it was only $0.99. A few weeks later I stopped using it because I could not stand to look at the UI any longer. Now I'm just back to using the Maps app that comes with the iPhone despite it not having turn-by-turn directions.

Maybe if Google buys Disqus. Disqus has far too many outages and performance issues for my liking.

Incorrect, I've gotten pings of less than 1 millisecond from over the internet.

No, the location is taken from the RWHOIS data which just happened to not list the IP's actual location.

I wouldn't say security is impossible, but it isn't worth the time and effort some companies put into it.
For example, Apple could stop putting 30 pin connectors on the iPhone, replacing it with only a power port to charge the device, then sandbox the rest of their apps on the phone (currently every jailbreak involving a vulnerability had to do with the fact that Apple doesn't sandbox their own applications like they do with third party applications.)
Of course you could argue that you could take the device apart and hook up leads to the circuitry in an attempt to flash the device, but you're going to stop over 99.9% of the jail breaking community from jail breaking their devices.

I've gotten speeds of over 1Gbps on Speedtest, although once you reach 1Gbps the image doesn't save and you don't get a link to share it.

There were 2 blogs they wanted to block specifically. They blocked those blogs IP addresses without understanding how the internet works.

There's no downside to GoDaddy for domain names, you're just jumping on the "fuck GoDaddy" bandwagon. I have dozens of domain names through GoDaddy and have never had an issue. Just set your DNS servers to something else and you never have to visit GoDaddy again.

Cant wait for iOS 6 which includes VOIP so AT&T can remove all but their unlimited calling plan with forced international package too.
RyanKearney | 14 years ago | on: Apple, It’s Time To Block iOS 5 Beta Users From Reviewing Apps
All the effort developers are putting into complaining about people on iOS 5 Beta leaving negative reviews could better be spent testing and fixing their app for iOS 5.
Are you going to complain when iOS 5 goes live and your app still isn't ready because you stayed up until 2am writing that blog post rant instead of ironing out that last bug?
Even if Apple blocks iOS 5 devices from leaving reviews, you can still leave a review through iTunes.
