I was here to comment on that, too, only a couple of paragraphs in. I'm buying a Touch soon because that's exactly what I want - an iPhone that only uses wifi and doesn't come with a $75 a month bill.

Also, those are the exact same prices as the previous models of iPod Touch.
The business (premium) version of Gmail on Google Apps provides an Exchange connector for Outlook and sync for mail, calendar and contacts, and is a direct competitor to Exchange Server itself.
Even Standard edition for small businesses is a real alternative to running an in-house exchange server, even if they still use an Outlook client.
So it's fair to say with Google Apps that Gmail is both a web-client and server-side offering.

No, it isn't. While widely quoted, out of context, Smith did not believe that a market was guided by an "invisible hand". In his book, he only mentions it once, and in a fairly limited context. His text does point out a number of situations where regulation is interfering with the optimal market state, but the bulk of the book is a description of the kind of market that would self-adjust to an optimum, and the form of regulation that would be best for creating that kind of market. So yes, organizing a community so that personal gain leads to community gain is very much in line with Smith's beliefs, but keep the "invisible hand" out of it. (If you are curious, the full text, long out of copyright, is available at several locations online, with various forms of commentary. I highly recommend the book.)

The ARPU for mobage town is higher because these games are just for Japanese mobile phones (using flash lite). Because Japanese phones have integrated billing (you buy something and it shows up on your phone bill), and Japanese are used to paying for content, it is much easier to get users to buy something vs. the credit card payment. I've heard the mobile has about 10x the conversion rate of credit card.

The other thing is these are companies that are producing these games, not individuals. So the top developers are putting a lot of money into the games as well.

Finally, with Zynga having an estimated revenue of 50 million dollars per month, a million dollars per month sounds like a drop in the bucket.
If you access their servers without their permission and without accepting their terms of service, you put yourself at risk of a lawsuit or possibly even criminal charges depending on how zealous your local prosecutors are (so far the question of whether TOS violations can constitute criminal unauthorized access to computer systems is an open question legally). This is particularly true if they take technical measures, such as banning IP addresses, in an attempt to keep you out and you circumvent those measures -- to make an offline analogy, it's much easier to prove a case of trespassing if said trespass involved climbing over a 15' fence.

If you merely provide a tool which your customers use, things are much less problematic. The only way I could see this causing difficulties would be if they claimed that they owned the copyright on their users' data, but it seems to me that it would be very difficult to make such an argument stand up.

So my non-lawyerly input is that if you should definitely not access their servers directly, but providing code to allow your customers to access their own data is probably fine.

That Google engineers are bored?
I lost interested about 1/3 of the way through the article. I remember reading somewhere that long forms (5000+ word articles,which this particular one is, or 2hr videos) just don't work so well on the Internet: either it's something intrinsic to the Internet as a medium or we are being trained to having short attention spans. Just as I was giving up on the article (and came to HN for a summary), I realized that this is precisely what the article was talking about: not having the patience/stamina for delayed gratification, presumably will come about as one ploughes through the entire article.

My takeaway from the article:
1. delayed gratification is important to success. but even if you aren't good at it, you can hack it, by understanding your thought process.
2. there might be a place for long form journalism like at the New Yorker, but it's probably going to be a small niche.

I recently completed writing a bot (not actually for poker, but it is a game with the same fundamentals. I've now proved the bot is profitable even with a couple of 'human error' features thrown in.

Has anyone else done the same, or used something similar as a source of income?

Any idea what a casino may do to a discovered bot above disabling the account? I have checked their T&C and it doesn't even make a mention of it in any way.
This article has so many lines you can pull up as ridiculous, I'm not sure where to start...

Apple doesn't sell 'pricing', they sell very high quality software and hardware. I've noticed the pricing has a psychological aspect to it, too - so what? Almost every business does that, surely every smart one.

The line about aluminum being used to 'wrap up fish' - well, it's also used in the construction of aircraft and medical equipment, because it's strong and lightweight. I guess that didn't sound like some clever, somewhat negative insight, so he left that out of the article.

I'm sure Apple hopes or plans for people to buy the more expensive iPad, but I find it really, really hard to believe the idea that they have created the smaller one purely as a psychological measure. Seriously.

They charged more for the first iPhones probably because they knew some people would pay that much, and most likely wanted to make sure they got their investment back quickly. Also, production was likely to be more expensive on the first models, in lower quantities. This guy seems to ascribe EVERYTHING to his pet theories about price psychology.

I really don't see how using an iPad to type a message and read a magazine is the 'same stuff we did 30 years ago', except in the most literal and narrow-minded sense.

Agreed, the software makes a huge difference and is always overlooked.

Even the hardware is exceptional quality, though. I've seen people comparing MacBook Pros to Alienware laptops or Sony VAIOs, and upon closer inspection, it's pretty clear the MacBook is much more refined and luxurious in it's appointments. Not to mention the style aspect - the other two are intended for an entirely different market and look the part.

Mostly, people that complain about Apple products are not the target market, have never actually used them, or are surly because they can't afford one.

Wow, Doctors are different case altogether

Their supply is limited and controlled, anyone can come and say that they are "web programmer" after reading HTML/CSS/Ruby, Even Universities increase class sizes arbitrarily.

This is a good layman's introduction to modern search techniques, but to someone not in the SEO field it feels like a very strange inversion of priorities. To me, like most people, the surprise is how effective techniques like LDA[1] can be in characterizing a document, but the 'surprise' in the article is that LDA correlates to Google search order better than a more simplistic model.

To a technologically savvy but naive outsider, this might seem obvious: shouldn't pages that rank highly in Google have strong topic-based correlation to pages that the user wants to see? But from the SEO perspective, I guess the conclusion would be that your page is more likely to be ranked highly if it includes all the trappings of other high ranked pages, with, you know, like synonyms and stuff. At a certain point, one has to start thinking, wouldn't it be simpler to make a page that people actually want to find?

Are there good examples of actually useful pages that Google doesn't do a good job of ranking? I occasionally find myself lately getting frustrated with Google about ignoring my rarer search terms, but generally I find the good pages are at the top if they exist at all.

[1] LDA is Latent Dirichlet Allocation, which is very similar to Latent Semantic Analysis, which in turn is very similar to Principle Component Analysis and Singular Value Decomposition. So it's possible you've already heard of the concept, but coming from another angle in another field.

This is news? Seriously????

They have found a correlation between a set of words related to a topic you are searching for and how highly a search engine ranks that page?

Well duh! Did anyone really think search engines did a keyword search and then applied Pagerank/HITS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HITS_algorithm) or whatever? That would give dreadful results.

If you really want to understand this, I recommend Building a Vector Space Search Engine in Perl http://perl.about.com/b/2007/05/24/building-a-vector-space-s...

I build the vector space classifier in http://classifier4j.sf.net based almost entirely on that article, even though I don't know Perl. It's very readable, and gives you a great understanding.

I though it was kind of odd they did LDA rather than something more broadly used (eg LSA).

But I've never really looked at LDA, and Wikipedia says: Compared to standard latent semantic analysis which stems from linear algebra and downsizes the occurrence tables (usually via a singular value decomposition), probabilistic latent semantic analysis is based on a mixture decomposition derived from a latent class model. This results in a more principled approach which has a solid foundation in statistics. so maybe they made the right choice. (Not that I see what "solid foundation in statistics" really means in this context)

OpenOffice does not even come close to MS Office .. especially for the Excel part.

The problem is not that XLS(X) is a better or worse format than OOXML. The problem is that it is defacto - so if I want to be able to communicate with the rest of the business world, I need compatibility.

Softmaker comes close, but not good enough. Plus now that OpenOffice's future is tenuous (oracle?), I would rather buy Office or Softmaker.

The most interesting for me was:

Entrepreneurship isn't the cure-all pill, good Ideas are hard to come by, even if you are looking for them continuously. Second Large Businesses have huge efficiency advantage due to their scale.

While HN would seem extremely pro - entrepreneurship, in reality, starting your business is not always the smartest move, not from just personal perspective but from perspective of a nation as well. Sure you want Larry Page and Sergey Brin to create Google but before that they went to Stanford for Ph.D. in CS. Entrepreneurship just for sake of it and without any good idea is no better than playing stock market with different strategies.

If 15% of the unemployed engineers in Corvallis could start companies that hired 5 full timers, they would (probably) have a booming economy all over again. Shit, maybe we could start exporting to China (I think they value entrepeneurship and industrialization there...).

You highly overestimate success rate, also what would they sell? What if they compete with each other and end up cannibalizing the market share between each other. That would at most create re-distribution of wealth and not generation.

The only way to generate income is via means which are non zero sum games [at least non zero sum within that nation].
Imagine you're doing a sector-by-sector scan of a massive, corrupted hard drive taken from a crime scene, trying to find out who the owner of the drive was. It makes no sense to do a rigorous analysis of the first possible file fragment that turns up - the odds are, it's just some random data file that could be found in any system. How many people have memories of Denver, yet have never been there in person? How many people have been to Denver, with no records remaining of their visit?

There is no reason to believe this man ever had anything to do with Denver, especially given the reliability of his "memories" thus far. How could someone be named "benjaman", yet not turn up in any written records, anywhere?

I have very vivid, intense memories of Las Vegas, that are tied to emotional experiences I have not had elsewhere. I spent only a week there, and paid for everything in cash. Would it be useful to start the search there?

The only reason the method I suggested would work, is because it relies entirely on weighted statistical analysis of what region-specific symbols this man has been exposed to. You can't fake strong recognition - it reflects changes to neural structure over long periods of time, and has a very low probability of false positives.
My point still stands. You've got a MUCH better chance with a degree than without one, and if you're seeing new grad numbers that are depressing, take a gander at the non-degree holder numbers sometime.

As for your friends, I never said it wasn't going to be easy, I just said they'd have a better chance than your claim of lib arts grads being the bulk of the persona non grata in the workforce. There is just WAY too many non degree holders that make up the bulk of the jobless for it to be remotely true.

I had a similar reaction to the length of the article, but my conclusion was different.

Just yesterday, someone posted a link on Reddit to an article written by a young person who, for various reasons, refuses to adopt eReader technology. The article inspired some great comments on Reddit, but one that stuck with me came from the always insightful Kleinbl00 (http://www.reddit.com/r/gadgets/comments/d9jh2/at_26_im_part...) who drew an analogy to someone he once knew, taking the same stance with music:

>Her solution was to go back to the CD wallets she used to carry around. Note that her problem wasn't fidelity. Her problem wasn't portability. Her problem was that for some reason she didn't have the attention span to listen to an entire album in its entirety unless she was forced to press eject, fish the CD into a wallet, fish another back out of a wallet, and fish it back into the CD player while in traffic in Manhattan.

>And somehow, this was the fault of the iPod.

Attention management has never been harder. However, the problem isn't the medium or the message, it's us. I've noticed that it's gotten harder over the last few years for me to focus on any long form writing. Yet the amount of reading I do (in terms of words-per-day) has probably increased dramatically. Even quieting down my mind enough to read books has become tough, despite being something that used to be perfectly natural for me.

I'm sure this would make for an interesting discussion, so if any of you can offer some guidance, speak up.

Things that force me to keep windows installed (not all MS products, but in a sense require you to have windows):

1) Powerpoint - Impress can't even import many powerpoint presentations correctly, and offers far less pre-made themes,. and is overall very weak competitively. (In general, the entire Office suite wins over the alternatives; the powerpoint/impress difference though really stands out).

2) Games. - You can't play 95+% of FPSs on linux.

3) Laptops seem to work better with Win7 than Linux (Kubuntu), in terms of input/out (I'm using a Dell). The linux touchpad drivers are lacking TouchCheck, so accidental tapping while typing is a huge issue. Plugging into an external monitor is not automatic.

4) Full-screen flash remains screwy on linux.
