Apple 解除了 iOS 條款中的第三方開發工具限制，並提供開發者 「App Store... →
千呼萬喚始出來啊！不過這也代表 iOS 這個平台已經發展到一個足夠成熟的階段，不必再擔心第三方開發工具會拖累其成長，適當地開放，反而有助於應對 Android 以及未來其他行動裝置平台的崛起。不過別想的太美，蘋果仍然把生殺大權握在手中：
We will reject Apps for any content or behavior that we believe is over the line. What line, you ask? Well, as a Supreme Court Justice once said, “I’ll know it when I see it”. And we think that you will also know when you cross it.
最後再推 Guidelines 中最中肯的一句話

New Icons: iTunes 10 →
You’ve heard all of the fuss. It’s all just stupid. Even Steve agree s that the new icon does not “suck.” In fact, I love the iTunes 10 logo. The CD was getting old, and Apple decided it was time for a refresh. The only problem I had was that the icon looked just a little off in my dock. Not dramatically, but a tiny bit. So I took it into Photoshop tweaked a few things. The result? These. I even...

There’s a tonne of posts today about the slick new Safari Reader feature I linked to yesterday. As someone who enjoys reading decent content online, I totally welcome it. I’ve used readability / Instapaper bookmarklets for some time - both on my Mac and iPhone - and, if I’m honest, I’m surprised…

Re: 蘋果google互踩地盤 誰是最後贏家？
// 蘋果google互踩地盤 誰是最後贏家？
雖然說 Apple 和 Google 兩大巨頭在很多領域已經正面槓上，但討論輸贏仍是一件很困難而且沒什麼意義的事。
1.什麼是輸？什麼是贏？是只比較單一產品還是要比所有產品？是要比市佔率還是毛利率？我不認為兩間公司的衝突已經到了不死不休的地步，正如板友所說兩間公司定位不同，其實沒什麼輸贏好比的。
2.在智慧型手機市場上 Google 不需要贏。它不靠賣 Android 賺錢，而主要是靠搜尋服務和廣告為生，所以只要網路存在一天，Google 就不會倒，Android 對它來說跟其他的網路服務如 Google Wave 沒什麼兩樣，失敗了就繼續改良或放棄，設備銷量並不影響其根基。當然 Android 本身意義重大，在微軟這等產業大頭都端不出什麼好料抗衡 Apple 的情況下，若沒有 Android 在這一兩年間緊追 iPhone OS...

Why Google Made Android?
“If we did not act, we faced a draconian future. Where one man, one company, one carrier was the future.” — Google via Gizmodo
很高興在今年的 Google I/O 中看到的 Android 2.2，提供更豐富的功能以及更優秀的 JavaScript 效能，同樣的技術還被應用到了 Google TV 上，顯示出了 Google 想要打造一個開放式網路多媒體平台的野心。
開頭的引文也許有點誇張，但卻說出了一個事實：Steve Jobs 和與他不可分割、以封閉系統和高水準的工業設計及用戶體驗聞名於世的 Apple Inc.，靠著 iPod、iPhone 以及 iPad...

嗯啊，我把這篇東西「翻譯」出來了。
論閃
我公司與泥土屋社之交久矣。蓋泥土屋社於車庫草創之初，于即往視之，為君子交。我公司林檎社，為彼之首位貴客焉；于嘗購入後書語文，為本社之激光打印機用，亦嘗挹注泥土屋，多年持彼股份逾二成。兩社提攜並進，並為桌面出版之先驅。美好時光，歷歷在目，然光陰荏苒，白駒過隙，昔年兄弟之誼不再，如今分道揚鑣。我公司嘗陷九死一生之境，彼當時則以空中飛人開疆闢土，今二社雖同以服務麥克電腦用戶為己任，蓋麥克電腦用戶，皆購買逾半泥土屋社套裝軟件也，然彼利之所在，非于之大義也。
