Licensed C64 Emulator Rejected From App Store 277

Posted by Soulskill on Sunday June 21, 2009 @12:54PM from the insufficient-quantities-of-hip dept.

Miasik.Net writes "A fully licensed Commodore 64 iPhone emulator has been rejected from the App Store. The excuse Apple used is a clause in the SDK agreement which doesn't allow for applications that run executable code. It seems Sega is exempt from that clause, because some of its games on the iPhone are emulators running original ROM code."

Tech.Luver writes: "Intel plans to roll out its newest generation of processors, Monday, flexing its manufacturing muscle with a sophisticated new process that crams up to 40 percent more transistors onto the Penryn chips. The world's largest semiconductor company expects to start shipping 16 new microprocessors — which also boast inventive new materials to stanch electricity loss — for use in servers and high-end gaming PCs . The chip maker will now use Hafnium in combination with a pair of secret metal oxides instead of silicon dioxide to craft the insulation layer of the gate that controls current. The tweaking of the materials counts as the most significant change to transistors in about forty years, according to Intel co-founder Gordon Moore. Fifteen of the new chips will run server computers, or systems that dish out data on corporate networks and the Internet, while one model is designed for personal computers.

Submission + - The New Facebook Ads: Another Privacy Debacle? (concurringopinions.com)

privacyprof writes: "Facebook recently announced a new advertising scheme called "Social Ads." Instead of using celebrities to hawk products, it will use pictures of Facebook users. Facebook might be entering into another privacy debacle. Facebook assumes that if people rate products highly or write good things about a product then they consent to being used in an advertisement for it. But such an assumption is wrong. When Facebook created a system that notified people's friends about new changes to people's profiles, the result was outrage. Facebook thought that there wasn't a privacy problem since the information was public. But as I argue in my book, The Future of Reputation,, Facebook didn't understand that privacy amounts to much more than keeping secrets — it involves controlling accessibility to personal data. With Social Ads, Facebook is again misunderstanding privacy — just because people say positive things about a product does not mean that they want to be used to shill it. People whose images are used in an advertisement without their consent might be able to sue under the tort of appropriation of name or likeness: "One who appropriates to his own use or benefit the name or likeness of another is subject to liability to the other for invasion of his privacy." Restatement (Second) of Torts 652C."

You can define multiple classes per element. To solve your example, you could have a color class with a single color: attribute that would be changed and your span would have something like: style="spanStyle1 corporateColorDuJour" Not as elegant as variables, but it avoids the search and replace problem.
