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


Haha, fair point. I've updated the graphs!


Wow, this made an even bigger difference than I would have expected. Nicely done!


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.


Frankie, apologies, I didn't mean to suggest that you were responsible for the link-baited titles. Your title correctly reflects the sentiment of the reporting across the board:

"An Apple CEO-in-waiting sells 95% of his company shares"

I am heavily invested in Apple and so I follow them very closely. Data from Asymco gives me even greater confidence in their performance:

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


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?"


Most users don't read dialogue boxes and will just click on 'Yes'.


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


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.


Accra, Ghana-West Africa. I've always wondered where the hackers of the world were hidden. Theres a lot of them right here in Africa at www.meltwater.org


Nice to learn that Meltwater alumni are here at HN! If Francis and Samuel from Streemio are still there, tell them Linus said hi!


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."


My work Blackberry is still down in Uganda. Pretty brutal.


I think the title is a bit misleading... Developers can opt to insert CSS code that allows for page flipping instead of scrolling. Even then, the end user can opt out of this in favor of scrolling.
