Yeah, if you added a plug-in architecture, international users could do the work for you and everyone would win

Maybe. Delicious Library has an easily hackable XML file, yet there's not that many good utilities out there adding functionality lacking in the actual program. That makes me wond…

When any program crashes, it produces a crash report, which contains some information about your computer, most notably what it was doing when it crashed. If you look at the crash …

Okay, this isn't the most technical of questions, but I've gotta ask anyway: How did you guys come up with the name "Delicious Monster"? Just curious.

The name comes from a plant that is in Wil's house, the monstera deliciosa, often called the Swiss Cheese Plant or split leaf philodendron. Here's a picture of the actual plant: …

They just mentioned this on CNBC. Apparently the built in iSight violates the new security policy on airplanes and government buildings regarding recording devices. And it's not li…

I laughed out loud when I read this. Does anyone else find it funny?

I'm not so sure the airplane thing holds true. I've taken many pictures in planes and from plans while flying, it's never been an issue. I've even used a cell phone in the plane as…

Government work is one thing, but surely it can't be true that you can't take a camera on an airplane. And if so, why is the MacBook getting the press? As others have said, banning…

If someone use that ipatch thing for what it is designed for, to stop people from seeing you when you want to have privacy, they must have a serious case of paranoia! oh, and... 1…

that iPatch thing doesn't seem useful in this case since I doubt they'll be like "Go ahead Akbar, just promise not to remove that piece of plastic from the camera...ok?"

Well, supposedly it can be attached permanently. I guess the other option for people working where they don't allow cameras is to just destroy the camera with some superglue or som…

It would really be nice if Apple had a BTO option for a camera-less version. It would be simple enough to implement, I'd think.

I don't think we need confirmation on that aspect -- I've known camera restrictions for government work for years.

I think often times things are outlawed so that way they could prosecute people if needed. So what I am saying is that they really don't care if you bring in your MacBook, but if …
