I like the design, its very simple and clean. Nothing overdone, nice in my opinion!

One thing that bothers me is the main call to action flow. As i see it, you want us to click on "start analyzing". But when I do I'm not analyzing anything, I'm taken to another page that now wants me to click "upload now". Fine so I do but now I'm taken to a log in page!

Seems to me if I am required to have an account, your main action would be account signup. If you don't want it to be account signup, you'll need to let us analyze things without an account. Just seems a roundabout (annoying) way to go about it as it is now. That's just me though.

Hope this helps!
I'm sure there would at the very least be a very long transition. And even if the core program were kept as CL code, it could still be ported over to use a lot of neat Google infrastructure.

An even more pressing question: what would happen with QRES? Reservation systems don't seem like a business that Google would want to be in, but it was supposed to ITA's golden ticket. Is selling out at this point basically an admission that this decade's rewrite of all that old mainframe code didn't work either?

I think the issues with inhumane animal treatment and overcrowding are going to solve themselves eventually. Nobody wants agribusinesses out of the animal-husbandry business more than the agribusinesses do. Feeding, confining, and slaughtering animals is a messy and expensive annoyance.

Before long, I think we'll see engineered meat being grown on scaffolds in vats, without no need for anyone to deal with animal maintenance at all. As I understand it, the biotech advances needed to make this happen are incremental, not revolutionary.

This will obviously be considered revolting at first, but it won't be hard to change peoples' minds. There simply aren't any downsides -- everybody from ordinary consumers to PETA nutcases to cigar-chomping Con-Agra executives will get what they want.

5days2freedom.com redirects to 5daystofreedom.com with the affiliate ID "curt505" appended to the URL. I think the landing page looks pretty decent. Information marketers and copywriters don't care about creating websites that look pretty -- they care about conversions and sales. Note the two upsell attempts that are presented to you when you want to buy the ebook for $5. The guys behind the site know what they are doing and they probably make a fair bit of money.
Funnily enough, I don't mind logging in with my Twitter credentials, but Facebook? That's a no-go.
Oh I guess they changed that at some point, it used to be tricky to download just Quicktime. Still, when installing iTunes on Windows they don't even give you the option of not installing Quicktime, Bonjour, Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple Application Support and Apple Software Update (which will go ahead and install other garbage if you're not careful).

I have a strong feeling that as long as writing systems are ignored, just about every language is "a wash". There's a limit to the difficulties a natural language will throw at someone. Since writing systems are constructed that may not be the case.

It's also possible that the very different experiences of Japanese and Chinese learners learning to read are due to the expectations the locals place on themselves. In Japan, once you know the Joyo Kanji, you can be pretty confident that you'll have furigana to help you when tougher words show up in newspapers, in video games or even on TV. In Taiwan, on the other hand, the only place you'll find significant help from zhuyin is in materials made for children. China has a bit more pinyin for the illiterate population, but it is still nothing compared to the furigana in Japanese media.
Well...I will agree that they were a great software company. I haven't seen too much innovation coming from them, outside of their traditional bread and butter (and that innovation is incremental at best).

However, I do agree that many software companies do this - but I disagree that it is in their own self interest. I think it is in the management's short-term self interest because they are rewarded with stock options that mature in the short term that they can then cash out. So they might make additional revenue from advertising in the short-term, but what does that do to their loyal customer base in the long term.

I did encounter something similar (not as grotesque) with Sun when I installed Open Office....but for some reason it never rubbed me the way this one did.

Also...much to my surprise, when I was installing Avast Free A/V, I was shocked (and disappointed) to see a screen prompting me to install a 'free and secure web browser from Google'. The last time I saw that, was for their desktop search product, which also annoyed me then....as it did annoy me this time. I guess it is something that these companies go through, but it doesn't negate the fact that it annoys some customers.

We do this with clients where we have particularly strong relationships. This is particularly helpful when clients are getting the budgetary pinch or if they've run out of money before their budget periods are over.

There is a definite risk that comes with this which is that a client you're not familiar with who's short on cash may take advantage of this, so I'm not convinced it's well suited to everyone's needs but where there's mutual respect and trust this type of pricing model (and flexibility) can really cement bonds with customers.
Advertising, love it or hate it.

Edit: to elaborate, seeing all those ads makes me kind of sick. As long as you keep believing and have the money to buy more apps, maybe you can remain in a kind of Disneyland, where everything is fancy and colorful. Very few of the presented apps provide any real value, though - definitely not compared to the "pomp" they are presented with.

Couldn't you turn it around and say it's unethical for Apple to allow customers to buy phones knowing full-well that they are going to introduce a top-of-the-line model in a few months?

W...T...F?!? Please, please explain this logic to me. Honestly, I don't understand how some people think like this! What would you have Apple do? Stop selling the previous model as soon as they have the first prototypes of the next one? Pre-announce the next generation of phone at the launch of each new generation?

Are you familiar with the Osborne effect? Is it really so bad that Apple has managed to, more or less, completely eliminate the Osborne effect through their over-the-top secrecy? Why should you be entitled to know what some other company's plans are?

That story doesn't seem to make much sense. I can only guess that Lenovo was getting money (or a reduction on the price for the Windows license) for displaying the sticker. After all, if you buy a standalone Windows, you are not forced to attach a a sticker to your notebook afterwards. So Lenovo could have just bought standalone licenses.

So Micrososoft paid for an ad, and Lenovo didn't want to display it despite getting the money. Might be bad taste to pay for an ad on a notebook to begin with, but it is a different story.

I haven't seen too much innovation coming from them, outside of their traditional bread and butter (and that innovation is incremental at best).

I suspect you haven't used their flagship apps much.

I've used the Adobe Creative Suite on a regular basis for 10 years, and it's simply great software. There are always a few rough edges, but over all, it's wonderful. Premiere CS 4 as far as I'm concerned is the best ProSumer video editing app on Windows (It's been a while since I've used Final Cut. I got fed up with Apple years ago.).

After Effects has been nothing short of a phenomenal application for years. I did an animation project last year with my wife who produces Video, and their Puppet Kinematics tools are really, really cool. After Effects can be entirely GUI driven, or you can script procedural animations in javascript. I've just started using Adobe On Location for shooting live video, and it's really pretty amazing. I'm proficient with both PhotoShop and Illustrator as well, and frankly, they are a joy to use. Every new generation of the CS suite, they add more and more features that I've read about in graphics research papers the previous couple of years.

I know that Adobe has been getting a lot of crap recently for it's run ins with Apple and the problems that Flash has running on Apple hardware. But I suspect that might have a bit more to do with Apple than with Adobe.

So, I rather disagree with your assessment on Adobe.

Facebook has good chances of taking over the social web for the same reason Microsoft took over the desktop 15 years ago: they target the non-technical majority of the population. Techies usually demand more transparency, flexibility, quality and minimalism, while non-techies, paradoxically, generally fall for interfaces with lesser degrees of freedom, which makes them more comfortable with it. Less freedom translates to "ease of use" for non-techies.

This is why Facebook somewhat intuitively reminds Windows and will most likely share its faith - not exactly dominance, but pretty close to it.

> For comparison cocaine is a schedule II drug because dentists use it.

That would explain all the kleenexes.
Err, I wasn't including undergraduate, just graduate. At least at the schools I know about, there isn't really much of a distinction between "thesis" time and PhD time generally. There's quals, but they aren't that important at a lot of places. Mostly if people say "I'm a 4th-year PhD student", it means they entered the program 4 years previously. They probably spent most of the first two years taking classes, though that varies too (I spread my classes over three years to have more time to start research earlier). I'm not even really sure how much time to allocate to my thesis, because there wasn't some official point at which I stopped doing classes and started doing thesis.

Edit: Actually, it just occurred to me you might be in Europe, where the norm is a three-year PhD thesis, in a pretty time-defined program. The PhD program norms are pretty different between Europe and the U.S. overall (I'm in the U.S.). Is that an accurate guess? If so, that'd explain the confusion. =] The U.S. program is fairly ad-hoc: you enter grad school and then there's various things that you can do in various orders, for various durations, depending on the school. Often you don't have to get a masters first either, so you sort of get that along the way, and you might be doing PhD research at the same time as that too.

I disagree 300%.

"The good parts" is opinion and commentary. It's not fact.

I want hard facts about what the language permits. I can make my own mind up about what is good and what is bad thanks.

"The good parts" is an interesting read once you know the language, but I certainly wouldn't recommend it as a first book on js.
I tend to see this type of article and the associated discontent with a protracted adolescence quite a bit on ycombinator, and I can't understand it as of yet. Is their really that much research suggesting that an extended education and a delayed maturation really is detrimental? Or is it more of a shared experiential resentment? Or is it just a resentment at the lack of flexibility and accommodation in our current system, a system that assumes that one size fits all?

In some ways, I wouldn't have minded earlier exposure to questions that forced me to discover my innate passions as opposed to continuing to be fed prerequisite course after prerequisite course. However, I can't say that this is equivalent to wishing that I had started my adulthood at age 15 (or earlier). Modern society is more complex, as are the roles that adults assume in modern society, and I presume that a protracted adolescence serves to give maturing adults longer to find their place in this increasingly complex society.

Is the resentment founded in the fact that we force everyone to extend their adolescence for so long? Or that such a period provides no usefulness whatsoever?
Author misses one important point - Apple doesn't need the goodwill now with a big winner on its hands, but it might need the goodwill later if they're in a competitive race in a new market. And all things being equal, I think developers would choose "the other side" if the quality/market size was close.

These sorts of short term capricious mandates don't always come back to bite a major player, but sometimes they do. It might bite Apple later, or might not. That article was a really fun read though, I do like his style and tone.

At least for companies you know their motives: profit. This makes them predictable in ways that political motives never will be. Once this kind of surveillance capacity is in place, there is no going back, even if the politicians (and the motives driving them) can and will change for the worse.
Never felt the need for one of these guides. I think its much more fun to just show up in a city and get completely lost. If I need some tourist action then I just get to talking to a local in a cafe or bar, and ask for recommendations. Not knowing your way and not knowing every detail in advance is much more rewarding when you discover them on your own.
Not only that, he has a point: it might be fun to have an evil empire for hackers to rally against once more. ;-)

The creepy, bearded, unbalanced hippy is what you see when you judge Stallman with a glance. His words, on the other hand, are unusually balanced and reasonable. In his essays and conferences, he wields them with extreme care, showing he fully understand their power.

Hence his insistence over GNU/Linux. It boils down to being aware of the origins of the system you are using: how it came into existence, and why. The answer, of course lies in the mouth of the original author. In the case of GNU/Linux, the name of the system directly influences which guru we are going to listen to (Linus or Richard). This is very important, because the two men have very different political opinions.

Plus, as far as I know, GNU is bigger than Linux, in probably everything. Especially at the beginning of Linux. So the legitimate name of the entire system may well be "GNU". Unfortunately, the GNU system became popular largely thanks to the Linux kernel, and people started to use the wrong name for the entire system. Really, "GNU/Linux" is a reasonable compromise.
