Mr. Glass posted:personally i enjoy pittsburgh's stigma as it keeps dumb idiot people from moving here I haven't been to Lawrenceville since 2006 or so. Lawrenceville was always poor as poo poo up until recently. Also I think this forum is the only place a Pittsburgh stigma exists and it's just because no one is ever willing to admit how right I am about anything.

ppl tend to assume that because it isn't the top steel producer anymore that it's a disheveled husk of a once booming economic powerhouse similar to detroit but unlike detroit pittsburgh didn't put all its eggs in 1 basket

I don't think people really get how resource-strapped the original iphone team was, they barely got the thing out the door in the first place and also having a dev environment ready [along with the app store] was pretty much impossible stebe constantly said "you don't need X, we have Y" when he meant "X isn't ready yet" because saying "you can make web apps!" is way better than "you'll be able to make real apps at some unspecified point in the future" like every other company does

The founders tell me it’s raised a $40 million Series B led by Dan Gilbert and joined by previous investor Andreessen Horowitz at a valuation under $1 billion. It’s changed its name to Genius.com. And it’s launching embeddable annotations so any website can hover over text and see explanations and background info on what that text means. You can see a demo run of the embeds on Business Insider’s deep dive into the company.

FMguru posted:its never been clear exactly how much of stebes "there's no need for an sdk because i know you guys will blow our minds with WEBAPPS" shpiel was driven by the fact that the first iphone was barely beta-grade with an unstable api that was still being defined even as the thing was shipping, and how much of it steve actually believed (dude genuinely loved his sealed airtight appliances and hated letting other people - let alone filthy "users" - tinker with them). i guess well never know it seems quite likely he believed in it, because of his experience trying out actual smartphone oses of the time and being offended by how they worked. it also tied in with his insane "must do things new way!!" drive that reached its peak with the original mac's design (the 128kb being meant to make it cheaper despite the fact the everything else made it expensive, the keyboard being basically half a keyboard because he wanted everything possible to be done with a mouse). apple already had a set-top box project with the Pippin, but it seems unlikely that a machine meant to fix the problems that had would be the basis of the imac.

rtft “While we cannot talk about this particular case due to PayPal's privacy policy, we carefully review each case, and in general we may ask a buyer to destroy counterfeit goods if they supply signed evidence from a knowledgeable third party that the goods are indeed counterfeit. The reason why we reserve the option to ask the buyer to destroy the goods is that in many countries, including the US, it is a criminal offense to mail counterfeit goods back to a seller.”
