Oh well, a simple yes or no would be fine, really.

However, I guess it's safe to assume then, that you're not ACID and that data will have to be rearranged to accomodate your system. That's my take-home because a simple "yes" to either question would not have revealed anything.
Yes, except you wouldn't be able to play your favorite Indy radio because Jobs is just not into Indy. And no amount of complaining will ever get you that radio.

It surprises me how quickly people forget that there's no Opera Mini, no multitasking, no Google Voice, or a myriad other applications that are arguably far, far more innovative than anything that's in the App Store yet you can't access them because The Man told you so. Especially since those are some of the things that make a smartphone so useful.
It is illegal because it involves violating Apple's copyright on their firmware. The legal status was established long before there even was an iPhone to jailbreak.

That filing was provoked by the EFF's attempt to get it made specifically exempt from copyright protection, but their arguments didn't actually meet any of the established criteria for creating exemptions. Apple's filing, in context, was an objection to the EFF's claims mostly spent pointing this out. The EFF tries to characterize it as Apple trying to get jailbreaking made illegal, but that's not the case. If it weren't already a copyright infringement there would have been no point for the EFF to make their filing in the first place. The whole thing is a bizarre kind of legal trolling, and cringe whenever anybody mentions it because it so severely tarnished my image of the EFF.
No, the author says that the person who PERFORMS an action that causes loss to both parties is stupid.
does Steve Jobs have a controlling share of Pixar? if so, he can release all Pixar movies DRM free and lead the charge.
The full quote seems misguided:

And yet: Please show me a product or object hailed by the design elite as Good that doesn’t just so happen to be aesthetically pleasing. (To the design elite, anyway.) “How it looks,” in other words, matters, both to the critics and to the market.

"Critics" and any "design elite" of note are far, far different audiences than the markets which people produce for. Craigslist, Bloomberg, Myspace are, yes, all examples of this.
Rsync adds a lot of overhead- The fastest way I've found to transfer a file is actually the venerable netcat.

On the receiving side, we open a socket, and direct it into a file-

nc -p 5678 -l > file.name

then, on the sending side, run

nc 192.168.47.1 5678 < file.name

That avoids the key exchange, the overhead of compression, the CPU to check for diffs, etc.
Just pure copy.

I'd be curious the difference in speed you get.
Stupid people usually are a burden. But for startups they're an asset. We make complicated things so simple and dangerous things so easy that those morons out there can use them without hurting others and themselves (too much). The process of creating a solution for the non-geeks out there means: "Dumbing down." It's a pain. And the price they pay heals our intellectual wounds. :)

What if you had to use a different music player for music you purchased from Amazon?

Well, what if every time you bought a book it came as a separate stack of paper in a form factor and layout that was chosen for you and which you couldn't change?

Oh, wait, that was how all books worked for five hundred years.

Perhaps you are looking the gift horse in the mouth a bit too sharply?

Anyway, a big reason why the music industry worked differently is that computer wizards invented machines that were really good at taking a legally-purchased CD and turning it into iPod-compatible digital music in five minutes without human intervention. That's just not possible for books. (Though it might eventually be possible for digital books, DRM or no.)

I think it even might be legal, and it's certainly low-risk, for you to buy a book, slice off the binding, feed every page through OCR and put the result into any format that you like for your personal use... but it's so much work that you'd probably rather spend the five or ten bucks and cope with the different book-reading interfaces. (If you're interested, though, I hear the Fujitsu Scansnap is pretty nice.)

The other factor is piracy, of course. Perhaps the need to compete against pirated books will eventually drive the book industry to shed DRM. I do wonder, though. Counterintuitively, books really may be harder to pirate than digital music -- at least for now, and for my taste -- because the lowest-common-denominator format is plain text, and plain text can be painful to read. After spending five minutes reading a Project Gutenberg book on the iPhone the other day, and tripping over poor spacing, miserable hyphenation, and misplaced chapter breaks the whole time, I found myself craving the ability to spend three bucks on a version that had been laid out by a competent typographer.

What I hope is going to happen is that eleven different iPhone reader apps will come out, and compete, and the profit margins will flow to the one that lets artists and typographers lay out the books in a thoughtful manner, and then everyone will copy that one. But, even if I get my wish, we might have to suffer through years of garbage first, just as we did with CD-ROMs, or laser printers, or the early days of HTML when the blink tag and the animated GIF roamed far and wide.
In my bachelor days during my bulking phases, I'd do the following to pack in the nutrients I needed:

1. Buy several bags of chicken drumsticks (de-skin if you want to lower fat intake), poke holes with a fork, marinate with wine / vinegar / soy sauce / herbs and spices for a few hours, put into broiler. I'd cook 30 or so at a time, and it'd last me days.

2. Ham or turkey or peanut butter sandwiches.

3. bags of frozen veggies. Stir-fry if you have time, boil or microwave if you don't.

4. Peanut butter & banana & milk & protein powder drinks. I'd make a big glass every night for my snack.

5. Mixed nuts to snack on.

Lots of good fats, low glycemic index carbs, and protein; inexpensive and quick.
This is going to sound really simple, but it's what I do. Take at your own risk, because I have a strong stomach.

I cook food in bulk, and just re-cook it on the stove, make a bowl of rice, and eat it over the next week. Even meat, and it tastes about as good as the first time. I usually keep it in the fridge, but I'm fine even if it's left outside and covered.

Might take a bit of time to cook the first time, but you can make some healthy and nutritious food, and it'll be ready in minutes every time after the first.
Why exactly do we bother taking advice from loud-mouthed celebrity types like Scoble or Arrington who have NEVER shipped software. Period. No software that rocked any customer's lives. No software that even caused problems.

Following this trend, we will soon be taking software advice from Ashton Kutcher.

What would be cool is if you implemented something like Netflix, you know like a recommendation engine. Something that bases of your tastes and preferences and also uses the preferences of those users that have similar tastes as you do. Base on that you can recommend what's "worth reading." :)
I wonder if we ended the postal monopoly if we would see private carriers compete on quality of service by trying such things as not spamming you.

I see this as a problem for startups to get traction in the future if there continue to be these early product shut-down exits. What wants to go use a marginally better product when the is always the chance it will disappear into one of the bigger options at any time.

Not being in a position to judge this specific instance, I'd think in general you are better off showing some power, saying no to a deal, maybe entering into a partnership instead that keeps the focus on your product.
Oatmeal is healthy, cheap, quick, and add a bit of honey or brown sugar makes it super tasty. Steel cut oats take longer to cook than quick oats, but they're more satisfying IMO.

This is standard boilerplate on consumer electronics. Your everyday consumer electronic devices are supposed to adhere to this rule to minimize their impact on the electromagnetic environment. An EE would probably be able to tell you more.
I couldn't agree more.

I would LOVE to use something that's open vs something that's closed. Ubuntu instead of Leopard. Android instead of iPhone. OpenOffice instead of Microsoft Office. Gimp instead of Photoshop.

Problem is, all those things are inferior compared to their closed-source counterparts (my opinion only), and don't let me do the job I need them for nearly as well, or in as much comfort.

I am a "tinkerer", programmer, tech geek, etc. Am I going to sacrifice my iPhone just because it's closed-source, and start using something else? Never in a million years. I have enough things to tinker with in my life.

Some people may disagree, and that's fine, but for me and majority of others it's just not such a big deal if the damned thing works as it's supposed to and I'm happy with it.
Gizmodo's list of essential iPad apps
By the mid 70's, it was perfectly OK to ask a computer-using grandma to set switches ;-)
While the App Store allows (at Apple's discretion) many people to write applications and have them available to a large user base, that is not even close to being 'open'.

All of these apps, and any content you want to buy and consume on your iPad, is going to be routed through Apple. To paraphrase an insightful author (who I cannot remember right now), it is an expensive device: apart from the initial investment, you will be paying Apple in order to tailor the device to your own desires, whether that involves downloading an app, a book, or a magazine to read.

Also, there's something else that gives me something to consider before contemplating another Apple purchase: the whole Flash dilemma seems to fit in too well with Apple's business goals for everything to be about Adobe being 'lazy' and having a poor-quality product in Flash. While Adobe may have its issues (can have high RAM requirements, particularly in Linux), I think they have enough talent that it could be fixed, at least for target platforms (probably not Linux, sadly, but at least popular mobile devices). On the other hand, Apple has no reason to allow flash. Why would you buy a $5 game if there were other, ad-supported versions that you could get for free through Safari?

I'm not panning Apple in general. I run Linux for work, but just started to complement those workstations with a couple Apple products for personal use.

It just doesn't ring the free/open platform bell for me; however, it's an ambitious and interesting project...I'm curious to see where it goes.

I's pretty easy, and a counterbalance to any eating out you might want to do
Technology could certainly help with the time aspect. Rig an electric timer to your toaster or toaster oven so that it's cooking you breakfast before/as you wake up. Hack together a device to do the stirring for you for foods that need to just be stirred over heat for a long time. Just be wary of fire hazards.
When someone's house is on fire and they can only save one thing, they save their photos. Photo sharing is way up there on the list of things that make people happy.
Open systems and making a buck aren't mutually exclusive. See e.g. the MacBook.
Face recognition technology has been around for years. A partner and I even implemented a rudimentary tool for it in a few weeks in an AI course. I always wondered why Facebook couldn't take advantage of this and save the world thousands, if not millions of cumulative hours tagging photos.
I've found fish tacos to be a fantastic food, I try to eat them for breakfast as often as I can.

--------------

Ingredients:

* Frozen tilapia fillets (probably the healthiest fish you can buy, not as high in Omega-3 as larger ocean fish, but it's super low in mercury).

* Yellow corn tortillas (much lower in fat and sodium than the wheat or white corn ones).

* Salsa (I buy Herdez brand, it's basically Pico De Gallo with no additives. I can't stand tomatoes in any other form. Red vegetables are good for you, and it's the one way I can get some)

* Queso Fresco or some other cheese (not too much)

Procedure:

The tilapia you can just stick in a toaster oven (or a full on oven) under broil for 15-20mins, with some salt and pepper, and whatever other spices you feel like that day.

Put tortillas on ungreased skillet (or hot plate) for 10-15 secs each side. Take off, add your cheese, put in fish (slice the fillet as you see fit), and add salsa and whatever other vegetables (some chopped lettuce, and sometimes even cabbage works).

EAT!

--------------

1 tilapia fillet is very filling and makes 2-3 tacos.

In conclusion: fast, easy, delicious, and very healthy. The frozen tilapia fillets keep in the freezer for quite a while. Trader Joe's sells panko-crusted ones that you can substitute once in a for some extra fun.
I noticed a small lag in the video between motion and display. But overall it was much closer than the nintendo ds variant I've seen. A bit more work in this area and I could totally see this being a promising area to go into. The sense of 3d is far stronger IMO than with versions that try to provide a different variant to each eye.

I believe we get just as much of a sense of 3d from motion than from stereoscopic displays. Since most of our interaction with computers is single user, this type of technology could be fantastic on a whole host of products.

Beans. They have protein and fiber, no sugar. Canned pre-cooked red or brown beans. (In the U.S., buy chili beans - they don't have sugar added, the others do.)

Add a little meat for flavor. I'm partial to a small chunk of sausage/chorizo/pepperoni, diced in small bits. Plus tomato paste (not ketchup - sugar again) and paprika. Spice up at will, but I find Tabasco too vinegary.

Add water to make it soupy, boil for 10 minutes, eat with bread. Microwave in a bowl if you're lazy (er, efficient) like me, or are re-heating a leftover portion.

Tossing a portion of chicken breast, in a dry non-stick frying pan, into the oven for 20 or 30 minutes (?), while doing something else, was also a favorite in my grad student days.
I should mention that I'm plagued for a huuuuge amount of taste aversions. I disliked most cooked fish as well as tomatoes. But in this quick and easy combination, it becomes a delicious meal that's quick to make, and quick to eat :)

ACK! Didn't see this until just now. How often and when's the next one?
Netflix's streaming is reasonably efficient; one forum user mentions that HD streaming consumes 3.8 Mb/s (http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1115352), which is comparable to what I see on my Tomato bandwidth graphs (~4.0 Mb/s). I have a coworker that lives out in the middle of nowhere. He gets ~1 Mb/s and lives on Netflix streaming.

So you're probably not doomed. That being said, I am against any reduction of USPS service and in favor of caching Netflix Watch It Now movies, as you have mentioned.

I'm curious... what is it, specifically, that you want from your friends-and-family photo sharing that Facebook doesn't offer? I can't figure it out from your description.
It's... a novelty account.

And here I thought the reports of a Reddit overthrow were overblown.
My favorite vegetarian food hacks are Quinoa and Peanut Butter Oatmeal. Both are great sources of protein.

When I want to spend a weekend hacking, and don't want to be bothered, I'll cook a big batch of steel cut oats in the slow cooker, starting it on a Friday night. Then I know I can just mix in a few table spoon of the good "grind it yourself" peanut butter with a cup or two of oatmeal. It leaves me feeling satiated, and is rather healthy with lots of fiber and protein without much fat, and without sugar.
For me it has been a revolution. No language, framework or concept has changed my development process more in the past decade.

I have been able to contribute patches (both code and documentation) to many projects where I otherwise would have not had the time or energy to bother contributing.

Sure, my previous attitude may have been selfish, but if it took an hour to fix a bug in a library that I am using for a throwaway script, I am not going to spend another hour subscribing to mailing lists, emailing developers and then persuading them that my patch is worth merging.

In GitHub I just fork, push my patch, and notify the owner of the original repo. If he chooses to pull in the patch, that is his problem. If anyone else who is having the same problem wants to use my repo, they can do so.
Hard-boiled eggs.
I thought of something additional:

Group photo album ownership.

Example: I would love to be able to make a "family photos" album that is shared between me, my wife, and my son. I don't see any reason to have to duplicate their albums, and think it's silly that people have to add all three of us (or look in three places) to see all of our family pictures. If one of us could make an album and add the other two as co-owners, it would be a lot easier for us to put up family pics.
I've discussed this at some length with a few of the original Subversion implementors. The short version is that they didn't go back and do a slight rethink when they came up with changeset objects, and that causes part of the problem. The rest of the problem is that branches aren't a first class thing in the system, leaving no good way to mark mergeinfo. Hindsight being what it is, you could probably build a Subversion-like system with almost the same filesystem by making the notion of branches and tags first class, and their just-a-copy nature being somewhat hidden from the user.

Sadly (on some level, I'm a huge DVCS advocate, but see the need for CVCS in corporate environments), that's largely water under the bridge - many of the original team have moved on to using DVCS tools. Subversion 2.0 as a completely clean break with the past to fix some flawed design decisions feels very unlikely due to the political forces at work.
My wife likes to say: the problem with making something idiot-proof is that they will always invent a bigger idiot.
Showing that there are those among us who will gas women and children, and many more who will not do anything about it as long as it doesn't affect them personally is a repeated lesson of history, not some psychology study.
I've recently switched to a fairly paleo diet; I enjoy it. My first step was to start every day with scrambled eggs. There are infinite variations (you can mix in about a quarter of a pound of arugula or spinach, or a couple sliced mushrooms--or you can pour some salsa on it when you're done). Takes about fifteen minutes to cook, consume, and clean, and you'll simply have a better day once you do it. I've found that a protein-and-fat breakfast at seven means I can decide whether I want to eat again at noon or at three, which is nice.
He doesn't have to submit anything to Apple.

He can program his heart out for the rest of his life and never get near Apple (other than to pay $99/year for updated SDKs and certificates), building, downloading and running thousands of his own apps, entirely independently of the rest of the world. If he wants to share it with his friends (up to 100), he can.

I really don't understand the hate here.
How old are you?

When I learned to program, it was at night after my parents went to bed and using qbasic (I'm young); they wanted me to pursue more noble endeavors like athletics.

If I had tried to explain to them that I needed to pay $99 in order to learn something that they didn't want me to learn to begin with, how do you suppose they would have reacted? Yes, there is an emulator that you can run apps on, but where is the wonderment in that?

I remember how excited I was when I figured out how to make my qbasic programs dial a phone number using the computer's modem...that was AWESOME! This sort of thing won't happen on the iPad. Yes, there are people (people who are already developers) who get excited about it, but to a kid, it is a black box.

It's not that people are upset about the iPad specifically, it's that they're upset about the direction that it is nudging computers.

Couscous. It's cheap, cooks really quickly (about 6-7 minutes), makes no mess, and requires no dishes other than the pot it's cooked in.

It's also really versatile. I often use it instead of rice in simple rice dishes (rice and beans, etc.), and it can substitute for pasta too.
Spend money to save time, or spend time to save money. There aren't a whole lot of ways around it.

There are some tricks, but it boils down to either you spend the time or the money, or you're going to end up with unhealthy/bland/repetitive food. If it's fast, cheap, and healthy, then it's one of the few meals in that category and will therefore become repetitive. You see where I'm going.
There are plenty of new markets to spam! You, too, can be the next Sanford Wallace or Mark Pincus, if only you dream big enough.
Quinoa is great. I have two primary recipes:

Breakfast: cook with cinnamon, apples, raisins and honey (and any other dried fruit you care to add). Serve with pecans/walnuts/your favorite nut to add an extra protein boost.

Lunch/dinner: cook and cool, add onions, cilantro, black beans, a little tomato, a bit of crushed garlic. Basically a fresh salsa that is mostly quinoa.
At least once a week I microwave a sweet potato (10 minutes or so). Then microwave black beans and mix in a little salsa. Serve the potato with the bean mixture as a topping. The result is a healthy dinner in about 15 minutes with almost no work. You can also add cumin and ground corriander to give it more flavor.
