The Original Macintosh: 38 of 125 -2000 Lines Of Code Author: Andy Hertzfeld Date: February 1982 Characters: Bill Atkinson Topics: Software Design, Management, Lisa Summary: It's hard to measure progress by lines of code In early 1982, the Lisa software team was trying to buckle down for the big push to ship the software within the next six months. Some of the managers decided that it would be a good idea to track the progress of each individual engineer in terms of the amount of code that they

After a week, Trump Mobile drops claim that Trump phone is “made in the USA”

The Trump phone was announced last week with a claim that the device would be made entirely in America, and people were rightly skeptical. Trump Mobile's $500 T1 Phone "is a sleek, gold smartphone engineered for performance and proudly designed and built in the United States for customers who expect the best from their mobile carrier," the Trump Organization said in a press release. But with electronics supply chain experts casting doubt on the feasibility of designing and building an American-

Trump Phone Site Drops Its 'Built in US' Claim. Here's All We Know About the $499 Phone

The Trump Organization jumped into the smartphone business on June 16, announcing a $499 gold-hued phone and a mobile phone plan, proclaiming on the Trump Mobile website that device would be "designed and built in the United States." It's a claim that many experts were skeptical about. Now, just over a week later, site has dropped that phrasing. Instead, new wording on Trump Mobile cites "American hands" and "American values" but steers clear of claiming the phone, called the T1, will be made i

Apple’s C1 is coming to this product next, and skipping the rest

When Apple launched its iPhone 16e earlier this year, it included a brand new component: the C1 modem. But more recent devices like the M3 iPad Air and A16 iPad haven’t included it. Here’s where the C1 will appear next, and which products are not expected to get it. Why the C1 modem was worth the wait For many years, Apple has been working to develop its own cellular modem tech. Absent that tech being ready, the company has had to rely on Qualcomm to supply 5G modems for its devices. While Qu

What do Google's Gemini privacy changes actually mean?

A Google email about Gemini privacy is causing quite the stir. The alarm came from a change in what the chatbot can access when your history is turned off. However, the update's implications are far less sensational than initially feared. Here's the heart of the email that set off the hubbub in the otherwise sleepy summer tech press. "Gemini will soon be able to help you use Phone, Messages, WhatsApp and Utilities on your phone, whether your Gemini Apps Activity is on or off." (Emphasis is ours

Hackers abuse Microsoft ClickOnce and AWS services for stealthy attacks

A sophisticated malicious campaign that researchers call OneClik has been leveraging Microsoft’s ClickOnce software deployment tool and custom Golang backdoors to compromise organizations within the energy, oil, and gas sectors. The hackers rely on legitimate AWS cloud services (AWS, Cloudfront, API Gateway, Lambda) to keep the command and control (C2) infrastructure hidden. ClickOnce is a deployment technology from Microsoft that allows developers to create self-updating Windows-based applica

Broken by Design: Systemd

Broken by design: systemd 09 Feb 2014 19:56:09 GMT Recently the topic of systemd has come up quite a bit in various communities in which I'm involved, including the musl IRC channel and on the Busybox mailing list. While the attitude towards systemd in these communities is largely negative, much of what I've seen has been either dismissable by folks in different circles as mere conservatism, or tempered by an idea that despite its flaws, "the design is sound". This latter view comes with the

BBC Apologizes for Accidentally Spoiling ‘Doctor Who’ Finale in News Report

The BBC’s apology for posting about that shocking Doctor Who finale reveal before the whole world got a chance to watch comes a little too late. For many, the spoiler was prominently featured online as soon as Ncuti Gatwa took his bow and regenerated into the franchise’s favorite companion, Rose Tyler, played by Billie Piper. Was she some sort of Rose variant, the role she originated in the series, meant to wrap things up with the David Tennant 14th Doctor running around? We don’t yet know. How

Honestly, I Don't Think You're Ready for This Old West Horror Flick on Netflix

If you were to ask my wife what type of movies I like, she'd tell you I'm a fanatic for horror flicks and Westerns. As is the case with being a busy dad, though, I never seem to find enough time in my schedule to kick back on the couch and enjoy either. How amazing would it be to queue up a double feature at home to feed my need for scares and outlaw justice? Very, is the answer. The reality of the situation, though, finds me sharing a house with a spouse who despises scary movies and a six-yea

These Are Our Favorite Supplements for Joint Health in 2025

While "there's not a ton of evidence out there to firmly say one supplement is going to help you over another," Mysore said, glucosamine likely has the most evidence backing its use. Glucosamine naturally occurs in our bodies -- it's in your cartilage and helps your joints function. A glucosamine supplement is believed to help with arthritis in that it can bring down some of the pain brought on by osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. According to the Arthritis Foundation, glucosamine is commo

Sam Altman comes out swinging at The New York Times

From the moment OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stepped onstage, it was clear this was not going to be a normal interview. Altman and his chief operating officer, Brad Lightcap, stood awkwardly toward the back of the stage at a jam-packed San Francisco venue that typically hosts jazz concerts. Hundreds of people filled steep theatre-style seating on Wednesday night to watch Kevin Roose, a columnist with The New York Times, and Platformer’s Casey Newton record a live episode of their popular technology po

iPhone 17 Pro: A closer look at the new ‘camera bar’ design

Trump Mobile drops its 'made in the USA' claims

The Trump Organization announced a cellular brand earlier this summer, and its main selling point for Trump Mobile was that its T1 smartphone was "made in the USA." It seemed highly unlikely that those claims about the phone were possible. Now, the website for the device has removed all language indicating that it was manufactured in the US. Instead, there is broader language such as "designed with American values in mind" and "Premium Performance. Proudly American." The Verge also noticed that
