Fantastic -- I'm a Grooveshark VIP member and have been since shortly after launch. I still think it was one of the best investments I've made in the past couple years -- it's completely changed how I listen to music (especially with the mobile versions).

Peter Thiel is one of the biggest investors in the industry. And while I am sure the events didn't go down exactly as they did in the movie, I am sure he had no problem screwing someone out of all those shares. Unfortunately, that's business. Everyone is out for themselves.
There's more to support than standards. Curretly and in the past Opera has given more grief from the users' POV because of it's iffy rendering. Right now I push a few thousand elements into the page at runtime, this works perfectly fine everywhere else including IE6 yet Opera decides that it needs not redraw the whole page(or something) and when I scroll it causes ink smudges(?) it's rather entertaining to look at because it's as-if Opera thinks it's some kind of photo editor. Keeping the parent div hidden and then showing it after I've done pushing the elemements seems to work around that bug but I now have a visible lag everywhere. What do I do?

you have no idea how the pharmaceutical industry works. by now there are tons of generic versions of aspirin out there, plus there always have been alternatives like thomapyrin, etc out there.

yet you know, recognize and buy aspirin at a mind-boggling mark up prize, not even recognizing that bayer has stopped producing the stuff by themselves and that it comes out of the same factories like its generic counterparts.

and why is that?

bayer still invests heavily in marketing and sales. aspirin is the most "researched" drug as there are countless phaseIV studies going on all the time. which are just a legal way of paying docs to push the product to patients. then you have key accounters and pharmacy-reps (depending on the market) out there, influencing big chains (USA) or tiny pharmacies (Europe) to stock, display and recommend the product.

never underestimate the power and smartness of big pharma when it comes to sales and marketing.

It does take time into account : "This system can be quite addictive (at least that’s what I’ve found) so you may find it a good idea to set strict working hours. Stop dead when the time is up, and start again at the same place when it’s time to start again. I admit I am not very good at following this advice myself!"

amazon's moat: cheap prices via the infrastructure they've built around efficient storage, warehousing, and delivery. Try finding most of the stuff they sell for materially less money once you take into account delivery costs. A deserved reputation for great customer service. Variety. Amazon prime -- $79 / year and I just don't bother shopping anywhere else. Kindle -- a 3rd gen ereader with an experience no one else replicates. Their huge marketplace of used books -- practically every text I want can be had for less money by buying used, but only on their site.

Apple's moat: for ipod: your music library that doesn't play on any other devices. Their ecosystem of products that all work together and become more valuable the more apple stuff you have. See airplay ( http://www.apple.com/itunes/airplay/ ) or how apple tv streams video from apple devices. For their laptops, as Gosling said, it's a unix with qa and taste. For iPhone, your app library, your music, and selling devices with quality and taste.

I'm not sure if this is the decision I would have made if I were on Groupon's board, but as an outsider I am delighted to see this, because now we get the chance to see if Groupon transcends being a mere coupon site and succeeds at fundamentally changing the nature of commerce. How they grow into new areas and defend their (from the outside, apparently) vulnerable turf will be fascinating, and as an entrepreneur there will be a lot more to learn from the Groupon story watching them be independent than seeing them become part of Google.
Awesome. Great to see some more procedural stuff out there! And they made it on to XBLA, that gives me a lot of hope =D

Always thought he was seeing OOP in general, which, of course, took off in a huge way, even if Web Objects didn't. (NeXTStep was hugely OOP, as were OS X and iOS later, of course.)
WebObjects was just a really well designed app server. It's obvious things would work that way - even though WO didn't, in the end, "win". Too lazy too look it up but WebObjects might have been designed around the same time as Java.

Agreed but if someone had the balls to compete with either of those, there's nothing stopping them. Zappos has shown that the way to beat Amazon is not by competing on price.

Groupon is an advertising company, which knows how to leverage technology. It's not like they invented email marketing. They just know how to use it damn well. When you are selling other people's stuff, the only limitation is how much stuff other people are selling, which is apparently infinite. See Google.
Make sure you enable flash for the page, seems like it's still a requirement.

I love Jobs' endorsement of Miele washing machines. Where I grew up in Austria all everyone had was Miele. They were ridiculously expensive. Their slogan was "reliability for many years" which was an understatement as they actually ran for 20 or 30 years no problem.

Also him discussing the new washing machine with his family for 2 weeks! Fascinating. I don't think many Billionaires would do that.
In case I was mistaken, I meant that as both a compliment to Jobs and as a reminder of how incredibly hard it is to know when something's truly dead or non-relevant.

Why Oracle Should Open Source ATG Platform?
I never really get laws that have no penalties. The lack of penalties merely reduces to a disagreement, and a disagreement as such doesn't equal any substance in a society. With criminal penalties a law would raise the stakes for everyone, including the law makers.

(Of course, the DVD/DRM case is probably about making it illegal first, much easier that way, and adding the penalties later, also much easier that way, in that "hey, this is already illegal!")

I think that there is a Copyright Troll, and we should ignore them. They're getting upset because they don't like that we can hear the music first before we buy it.
I think you're right (that we're talking past each other).

The UK perception seems to be based on a lack of assurances that he won't end up in an orange jumpsuit, as fetching as he may look in one.

The US is unable to provide said assurances because the people looking to extradite him are not in a position to make that type of a deal (as far as I know, if I'm wrong please say so).

Bear in mind that at the time he committed said acts the US would have generally considered it an act of hacking, whereas now it could be considered an act of terrorism or even an act by an enemy non-combatant. The grey area seems to be the thing that's causing the block. If the US said, "He'll serve 5 years in a minimum security jail for hacking" then I'm sure the resistance would be over.

I don't see how you square that with the assertion that "harassment is not simply unwanted attention." Given that premise, it's almost an a priori fact that a sexualized environment is not cognate with harassment, since AFAICT the issue with a sexualized environment is that it brings or constitutes unwanted attention.

It might be uncomfortable, but it is not (in and of itself) harassment. Distinguishing is important, even if you agree that both are a problem.

The only breakdown Samsung has released is that 100,000 of the 1M are from Korea. US carriers aren't releasing numbers. All the articles I've found on this are just parroting the press release.

There is still a huge question here of who are the buyers. Being more expensive than the iPad and there being plenty of anecdotes of slow to nonexistent sales (at least in the US), I can't imagine who that might be.

I don't blame the victim, I just thought I would get away with NOT saying that I condone sexual assault because I personally think that this goes without saying...

I just think that no matter how crowded a hotel room, you shouldn't sit on other peoples laps or flirt with people if you actually intend to keep the gathering anything close to professional. If you want to sexualize your environment, I'd suggest a short skirt, flirting and sitting on people's laps.

Sadly, you can't have both.

If you wanted, say, your about page to have an extra image next to the logo (as an exception to all the other pages), then you'd have to rewrite another header file to include, whereas if you used template inheritance you could just override that logo part without having another almost identical header file.

It may be confusing if you're new to it... but so are OOP, Lambda calculus, and others. ;)

Netflix's app is the opposite of how Gruber describes a great app: "...it should seem, when you’re using it, that the entire device was meant for it. E.g., a good chess game for the iPhone should make the iPhone itself feel like a chess playing device." [1]

The Netflix app feels painfully like using a computer, not a movie-finding-and-watching device. IMO, that's why HTML is the wrong choice, at least for iOS.

Besides linking to it being on shaky moral ground, the print version misses in this case a very critical piece of information, the date this story was published. There is also no way of going from the print version to the normal version, the reverse, however, is easily possible. It’s just not nice to link to the print version.

Are clicks needed to get ad revenue, or do you get paid for just showing an ad? I can't imagine a lot of people clicking on in-game ads..
I think this approach has some rather nice features:

1. There is no need to try and break a task down into smaller steps before entering it into the list. When you come to work on it you probably have had a chance to think about it some more and it will be obvious if there are any sub-tasks.

2. There is no schedule and the granularity is (inifinitely) variable. This helps avoid needless analysis or planning.

3. Garbage-colletion. If you perform a task that invalidates some easlier items on your lists the dismissal process should catch that without having to review or re-analyse the complete list looking for dependencies.

So for a system that is appears free-form and light on rules it actually has some substance. The only issue I can see is one that asimjalis commented on where one task can take too much time. I think that then it is appropriate to wind up the pomodoro.
