Sure, that's a consideration for smaller brands, but I don't think google has any trouble with consistent brand recognition.
I have an incredibly hard time believing the medical industry does not have stringent standards in place for safety-critical software. Do you have anything to demonstrate this, and what country are we talking about here? (To remind me not to ever see a doctor there... :) )
One of the hardest thing I found trying to sell something online is that you actually have to learn to spend on intangible goods.

It's difficult to spend money on things you don't know whether or not you'll see your money back.

Believing that you can make money by investing only $10 for a dns won't help you.
I'm interested in getting into something in Brisbane. Hit me up.
well to start with I agree on some occasions that working with freelancers could be fun.
But to make things worse for Small Businesses is to believe gold-plated identity package will cost more than they need to pay. A strong branding will give an extra edge to SMBs fight against giant brands.

Trouble is, you follow all these steps, and you're left with a mediocre website on a free web host with no audience.

How has this "run a business"? You'd honestly be better off not buying a domain, getting a crappy angelfire webpage and spending the $10 on google adwords, at least that way you've a chance of connecting some customers with your product.
Mozilla's CSS (and Chrome 6) :visited solution is still vulnerable
Here the official ongoing discussions about the fix and general consequences on web :

This is really good work. Any plans to support ncurse or something along those lines, so that I can arrow up through my command history?
I've been developing a Javascript intensive bookmarklet for the past month or so. It works on FF, Chrome, Safari, even IE6. But on Opera, I cannot figure out why it behaves so glitchy. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but it never, ever shows me any errors. Maybe this has to do with the fact that it caches things even when you tell it not to. In addition to that, AFAIK there's no way to deselect text (without breaking other things), which makes developing drag and drop pretty much impossible on it. It's "developer tools" show you a big list of "errors" which are mostly it knit-picking various CSS properties things that it doesn't support, like rounded corners for example.

Perhaps I'm wrong. Maybe my code is getting run perfectly, but it's just happening so blazingly fast that it doesn't affect anything at all. In which case, I'd still give Opera the big "fuck you" that I'm feeling after writing this.

But hey, when you open a new tab it animates.
this http://whattheinternetknowsaboutyou.com/ already does not work anymore with Firefox 4 Beta and latest official Chrome release.
It works in IE7 (pretty fast), just all particles have the same size.
I'm not wild about this level of introspection but the principal of measure it and change it is absolutely valid.

Not too long ago I felt I was getting to the end of the month having spent all my money and didn't have much to show for it. On-line receipts and a review of bank statements allowed me to account for some but plenty of it had been cash or purchases at places I spent money regularly enough that tracking it from a bank statement wasn't possible.

So I started logging everything I spent to find out what the money was being spent on.

Three months later I'm none the wiser where the money was going but I do tend to have £150 more left and the end of the month than I used to. Knowing that I'm going to have to write it down and account for it to myself has just stopped me spending money on things I'm not that fussed about.
Lowest Power Dual-Core 64-bit CPU Supporting VT-x: 5.5W (yet, labelled "Solo"?)
There seems to be two models of the Core 2 Solo SU3500, both rated 5.5W: a single-core one (http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=37133) and a dual-core one (http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=42113). Is the dual-core version real or is it an error on Intel's website? I am looking for a VERY low-power 64-bit laptop supporting VT-x and this processor seems ideal, but it looks like it is unfortunately an error on Intel's website... The next best options seem to be a 10W Core 2 Duo SU9600 (Core microarchitecture, no integrated GPU or memory controller), or a 18W Celeron U3400/U3405/Core i3-330UM (Nehalem uarch, integrated GPU and memory controller).

A good way to do a cheaper and better signal is to contribute something back to the community. In the good old days, people volunteered for various things in their city/state/country. These days, you can easily contribute code to an open source project, or run user groups. An engineer can hack together a cool DIY project and let the internet run with it. Are you a writer? Publish using on-demand services like Lulu.

The key part to this is marketing and raising awareness. Without harping too much: social media makes marketing for one-person projects doable.

Open Office sucks compared to Microsoft office, I switch to Microsoft when I want to prepare a fancy office document, or open and edit docx files correctly. And secondly, to try if my application works correctly on sucking ie. That is all, I am so happy with Ubuntu
Well I have to give them that this is kind of a curious bug. I mean, you have to wait over 4 days until it triggers. Probably, this just worked whenever it was booted and tested, and booted and certified, because probably the certification did not involve ignoring the thing for four full days.
Note that while you sit on your chair, you are travelling pretty fast. Relativity for the win!
After some quick googling, I found more references to this claim, but only in comments on articles:

http://privacylog.blogspot.com/2010/08/mozillas-css-visited-... is still able to detect if i visited a link, on both Firefox 4 beta and Chrome 6.
But i don't think it is a threat because Mozilla and Google also blocked document.getElementById(x).style.color. So wouldn't this be practically unexploitable ?
I'm just thinking about this. I think I would try to split the clock into a precise part, which (for example) tracks how many milliseconds we are into an hour and a precise part which stores the hours, or the date up to the hours or whatever. Given this, I can reset the part with the degrading accuracy in a duration which maintains enough accuracy in order to maintain enough accuracy overall.
congrats! It's always inspiring to see people having success doing what they love. 200 users seems almost laughably smalltime compared to some of the companies who get featured on here, but to me, and I'm sure much of the HN readership, it's a dream; if I can get 200 paying users of my business when I launch I'll be ecstatic!

It's really good to see a success story which doesn't focus on "hey wow, I got a million users overnight through sheer luck". It reminds us that 99% of the time, companies are built slowly and surely, not astronomically.
I don't think there's anything in that article that suggests that the techniques only improved memorizing and not your specific definition of studying. Also, there are definitely things that I have learned and since forgotten that I had to think critically about and understand. I think this article is about techniques to improve the retention of knowledge.

Take, for example, the math students who had to apply formulas to find different properties of prisms. The students who learned and practiced all of the formulas at once (which most likely requires critical thinking to determine what each problem is asking for) did much better than the students who just practiced sets of problems for each formula sequentially (which is more like memorization).

I thought the most interesting part of the article wasn't the findings on varied environments or multiple shorter study sessions, but that studying multiple things in one session improved retention. Speculating as to why, the brain subconsciously makes connections between the different topics, strengthening each concept.

Very interesting article, and indeed, a meta experiment in itself in the context of it being a New Yorker piece (traditionally long form) in the today's popular "gotta-have-it-this-instant gist" CNN blurb format.

Mischel's focus on context would probably explain why I had no problems finishing this article -- I am a father of two young children that is interested in their development and well-being. If you were to present me with this article in the past, I'd probably be in the same boat as /fhe/ and bail 33% of the way through.

So, HN experiment to those that have bailed part way through the NY article (and possibly most other long-form pieces): Assume that it IS worth reading this entire article, because it's not just about the marshmallow experiment at childhood, but has useful context to YOU as an adult that could positively affect your life and those around you forever. (carrot) In that context, is it enough for you to switch from the short-delay satisfaction of a "profound" Twitter quotation, to the long-delay satisfaction of reading through an entire thought-provoking and well crafted New Yorker long-form article?

It saddens me deeply to agreew ith you (Woz has been a hero of mine for nearly 30 years) but I suspect that is true - plenty companies succeed with great marketing and shitty technology (and no I don't mean Microsoft) whereas great technology and poor marketing is a pretty common route to disaster.
The logical next step is crowd-sourced, micro-equity. The only barrier so far has been legal and regulatory but these will be overcome soon.

IE doesn't support SVG, Canvas, or CSS transforms.
I don't know about accessing OLAP databases, but it seems like a bad idea, anyway. The programmability of OpenOffice is quite powerful and workflows can and are automated with it.

Visual Studio is not bad for people with little understanding of development. Unfortunately, CS schools turn out many people like that these days. I don't know why people want tools that get in the way and slow you down as much as Visual Studio, but it is popular.

To me, the built in unreliability of Windows is something I wonder why more people don't focus on. Building your business processes around something that needs proprietary tools that can disappear with little notice just seems crazy.
+1 on the Perl love.
Awesome effect
Not all start-ups can be launched with only a low end vps slice running a stack of open source software. There are still a whole bunch of business ideas that require at least some start-up capital.

People have no idea how hard it is to get first 10 paying customers (not to mention 200!!). It's one thing to get people to say "I love your product - will buy premium plan for sure!" and the completely other thing to actually receive a payment ("I'm sorry I was busy", "Will buy, just waiting for my customer to place an order" etc.).

Best of luck to everyone trying to persuade their customers to pay. I'm also one of you!

However, the problem isn't the medium or the message, it's us.

Unless you're claiming that people themselves have fundamentally changed, I don't see how the medium gets absolved of responsibility. The medium influences us, doesn't it? We're trained daily by the things we do and how we do them.

It would be interesting to see that graph plotted in raw numbers rather than in percentages. My guess is that iOS isn't actually losing existing customers to Android, but that Android is picking up more of the first time smart phone buyers.

How to use Open Graph Protocol

Terrible argument. Neither Google nor Apple make the "menus", third party developers do. If you can make a high quality Android app, by your own argument, it should be appreciated and rewarded by users starved for quality.
Or border-radius. So they have to have a special IE mode regardless.
I don’t think you analogy works much better. Third party apps are responsible for anything between zero and less than hundred percent of the experience, depending on usage (it’s possible to completely avoid installing third party apps, it’s not possible to avoid all contact with OS software).

I don’t know what the average number is but my guess would be that it’s not very close to hundred. It might even be less than fifty percent.
Designers think iTunes 10 logo "sucks", Steve Jobs responds
Really? It's true that the developers make the "menus" but Google and Apple make the "restaurant," to continue the analogy.

Having recently acquired an Android phone for dev purposes, I find the UI, built-in controls, installing apps, settings, etc. all completely jarring compared to iPhone.

(Off-topic, I love the Android SDK though, and being able to use Eclipse is great.)

The number is from a press release, so unless there was a mistake in it, I don't see why they would intentionally under-quote it, as they want to encourage developers to use their platform.

Also note this is just for 3rd party developers at Mobage. Mobage's focus has been more on its own titles then other 3rd parties.

Mixi and Gree are Japanese SNS that support 3rd party apps. In particular, third party developers have been having a lot of success with Mixi.

So yeah, there is lots more money to be made in SNS applications in Japan, but this article was just on Mobage.

"BTW, you can take some pleasure in knowing they wouldn't be calling in the lawyers if they really had confidence in their product."

I'm sorry but that isn't remotely close to real life, is it? Look - they are calling in the lawyers because a competitor is making itself more attractive to mapmyride's customers by using mapmyrides' services against their TOS. They are smart to call in the lawyers - it would be foolish not to. Also, who can say when/whether OP's company could "accidently" submit too many requests too quickly thus incapacitating mapmyride's servers?
Logistics is often forgotten when core competencies are listed.

I'm not sure about Nike, but generally in fashion/retail the key to success seems to be a combination of brand management and strict control of logistics chain. Obvious cases: H&M, Ikea.
