How people judge your intelligence based on the looks of your graphs: Take 1.

That's a great, valid point... Still interesting to me that he unloaded almost all his vested shares. The media was sure to pick up on it and executives often buy back shares to signal confidence.

Maybe he was simply trying to balance his asset allocation. He's definitely not living off $40m, right? It always seems that Apple is sure to outperform, but maybe we'll look back on this as a genius move in a few years.

EDIT: Updated the title to richardburton's suggestion.

This looks like a great resource for new developers. I'm planning to walk through it in the coming weeks.

I guess that's true, but they already take a similar approach with the "This program has been downloaded from the internet," box.

I don't understand the "Move to Trash" default for Apps that are unsigned if your default is to only run signed apps.

I think the chances are greater that a user intentionally downloaded a piece of software that happens to be unsigned rather than unintentionally downloaded malware. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to prompt the user something along the lines of "This application was not created by a trusted developer. Run anyway?"

Maybe Gruber was the only one who keyed in on how big of a deal it was.

But you still have to make an explicit action (eg hit play on spotify). It's not like Facebook is pulling things out of your head, you still have control over what you're sharing with people.

Kampala, Uganda. I'll admit I'm surprised by the geographic diversity. Maybe some traffic analytics would be interesting to compare.

Sorry you felt that way, I enjoyed reading everyone's comments though. I just reread the submission guidelines and won't submit articles like this in the future. Still new around here.

"Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic."

I think those are a bit different. For all of the actions you mentioned, there is only one way to complete the task (eg deleting an app). With Siri, you can also accomplish any of its functionality using the traditional UI. Therefore the user has to remember to use Siri.

However, your point is well taken. Maybe I'm not giving the average user enough credit.
