I'd think that in the future your data foot-print won't be tied to any piece of hardware. With cloud storage solutions, you should be able to pick up any device and have it be immediately "yours" with your data and your settings. Hand the device over to your friend, and now it's got his data and settings.

The iPad might be a single-user device but I think the author here is wrong in thinking that's this a fundamental property of the hardware. It might be that the software isn't up to modern standards of multi-user access or it might be that the software to do this well hasn't even been invented yet. But it's a software issue and it's one that will eventually be solved (but maybe not by Apple).

>part of the argument is that the modern culture is designed by marketers to keep you unhealthy and consuming.

Welcome to the field of Applied Psychology and Cognitive Science. Once you have reverse engineered the mind, the only practical application is manipulating it.

>just as likely that modern marketers are just doing what people want

For a TRILLION dollars we are not talking about "marketers" in the Mad Men, I-made-a-website-and-wrote-a-book, or "social media expert" sense. We are at minimum talking about behavioral psychologist PhDs and global corporate parasites like Coca Cola, Philip Moris Tobacco, etc.

In reality, those are still on the billion dollar level and not on the top of the food chain. The only trillion dollar companies I'm aware of though are financial institutions, so that would be my criticism of the article. If you really want to make a trillion dollars, you'll need to be much closer to the monetary spigot. In other words, a bank.
I suppose that depends on your theory of causation. =]

It's true that technology, perhaps barring technology that directly alters the human brain, can never cause any psychological or social change except via humans using it. But if, for example, people are unhappy when they frequently compare their lives to others, and a particular technology increases how likely they are to do so, I'd say that the technology has caused an increase in unhappiness, via the mechanism of increasing comparisons.

Can happen on the positive side also. I'm comfortable pointing to software as a "cause" for certain kinds of increases in productivity, even though of course it's only the fact that people are using it to do things that increases productivity.
If you go back to the video game example, you have a list of saved games/characters and you can choose to delete a character. Pretty standard stuff.

Now you add an undo button and you've gone from two actions to three actions. Furthermore, does the undo apply just to when you delete characters, or can you undo the progress you just made with a character? If it's the former, then your undo is inconsistent. If it's the latter, if you accidentally undo, then you want a 'redo' so you can't lose your new changes either. So now you've doubled the number of options the user can take. And how often are you going to delete a character anyway?

Or, you can take the approach games do, which is simply ask you 'are you sure you want to delete this character?' Given this response is distinct from the 'continue game' action, which would display a loading screen, players are likely to notice the prompt. Why complicate things?
When would I have had time for significant manual labor in college? Ask a grad student working 72 hours a week in the lab to grow their own food instead of snarfing down ramen at their desk, and see how much research gets done. :/
Neat idea. One potential issue I can see is someone wanting to read either more, or less, per day. In the case of more... I'm thinking "what if I get to a good part and want to read more today?" and in the case of less I'm thinking "great, I've got 20 'onesmallpage' emails piled up that I haven't read yet, delete and quit".

I didn't sign up to test, but if you're not doing so already, I'd definitely think about including some links/settings right in the emails that allow users to: adjust # of pages, etc... maybe even a "I don't really like this book, suggest something else" kind-of functionality.

Good luck!

It's this lack of discoverability that kills SOAP. I've never had any trouble parsing the response xml once I get my hands on it, namespaces etc are a non issue at this point. The completely non-standard format of the queries that makes it such hard work. With REST you just have to figure out a url. With soap you have to do that plus work out how authorization is handled, how to embed the procedure and parameters and then what namespaces to put everything in.

I'm still very interested to see how Android 3.0 will scale down to a phone interface. As it stands, the new version seems to fragment the Android ecosystem even more than hardware vendors have done.

I'm sure that there are more under the hood changes that will benefit smaller form factors, but I too want new features and a more optimized interface for my Android phone.

And a lot of other artifacts. It seemed to be mainly a labor of love by retirees and crypto geeks, rather than some officially compiled museum. Rather touching, in a surprising way.

The sweet spot for me would be a normal iPhone outfitted with an iPad data plan. (You can do this now if you buy both gadgets and swap the sim. It's a lot of money though.)

Have they added a real gps to the touch yet? I think that's one of the best parts of having an iPhone.
Netflix (apparently) can't measure anything above 4.8 Mbps, so 15 counts as 4.8 and the average is brought down by people who are on the el cheapo 1.5 Mbps plan.

"What do you think Google or Microsoft or Facebook are going to say when the government tries to cut off their primary source of income?"

They're going to say: "how much will you pay us to help you do it?" The answer will be "a lot" as it's always been. And the answer if they don't comply will be "you're finished". Standard mafioso tactics. Are you really expecting giant corporations to have principles at all, not to mention principles they are willing to sacrifice themselves for? Anyone within who suggests they should will hastily be shown the door. That's how the modern corporation is structured. The filthily rich throughout history haven't exactly been the harbingers of revolution.
This whole thing feels like a solution to a problem that's already been solved. If students want to decide where to go to school based on academic strength rather than the gym facilities and sports teams, they are already free to do so. I know a lot of students who would rather stay home and read than party all night, so that's what they do. Attaining the mind-oriented domestic life described later is mostly a matter of finding the right people to live with.

It also says only 16% inherited their money. I don't find this very surprising, TBH. A million dollars isn't what it used to be - if you're some kind of professional making, say, $150k/yr you can retire with a million.
I've participated as a business in one in Toronto. They took 10% after being launched for 2 months (this was 1.5 years ago). Now industry standard is 50% of the revenues the agency keeps.

It is my understanding that initially they waive or significantly reduce their fees to find some key "launch" deals.
Apparently Journalisted (http://journalisted.com/) is popular amongst PR types in the UK. Anything like it in the US?

My wife, who works in PR here in Australia, passed on this from someone else, suggesting that someone should build it in Australia:

"Journalisted.com - This is a brilliant service and probably one I use on a daily basis. From a PR point of view, it can be used in one of two ways; if you want to get in touch with a journalist about a story or your client, but you aren’t sure if they’ll be interested, you can search for that journalist and look at the articles they’ve worked on in the past. If you want to get in touch about something to do with science, but the contact has only written about politics in the past, it’s probably best to forget contacting them. Similarly, if there’s a subject matter you have in mind and you want to look up journalists who write about it, you can use journalisted.com for that too."

Thought I'd mention it in case it hadn't been done in the US or AU and someone was interested in trying it.
Except that's the problem. There are quite a few people here whose ancestors were US citizens when the country became, well, a country. But anyone else born here is a descendant of non-citizen immigrants.

I'd like to give 2010 a try, and I may at some point here, but everyone else is in 2008 and I'm not sure it'll translate entirely (code has to compile everywhere, and saying ASP is a second-class citizen is insulting to second-class citizens everywhere. I have zero faith it'll work the same way in both versions). I have heard a lot is better in 2010, but in general it's still a Microsoft product; huge, inconsistent, and so tightly bound into everything that they have no proper competition.

Oddly, Intellisense is generally keeping up with me, despite the site being at least a few hundred thousand lines of code (light on the abstraction, though, so it's mostly flat .NET code. Probably not too taxing on intellisense). There are times I just break out Notepad++ and finish up stuff VS was breaking, but it generally catches up any time I build the relevant projects.

And I should be clearer, because it's so weird: the designer-view was actually instantiating the entire window control, as it's init contained the database connecting code, and firing events on the combo box controls that queried the database. At no point was the database actually connected to VS, which you can do; and I'll never even consider trying it, after seeing that happen.

It seems that we might look back in history and see the rise and fall of Japan in a single generation. Culturally, founder CEOs are given the utmost respect, while hired CEOs are looked at almost as figureheads. By the time Japan really started to decline in the 90s, most of the entrepreneurs who rebuilt industry after the war were gone- leaving their companies rudderless. The political sphere is even worse, corruption and cronyism abound. Japan, the unstoppable juggernaut, is now ruled by old men lining their pockets.

Surely there are lessons to be learned here.

With fear of stating the obvious, I also read venturebeat.com. I like the suggestion of killerstartups.com -- I didn't know about this site.
I saw a demonstration of the Kinect at CES and I was impressed with the technology. The Kinect is a big win for Microsoft. Not only is it a commercial success, but it's also the first Microsoft product in quite some time that has captured the imagination of consumers.

Now Microsoft needs to leverage the success of the Kinect to further expand beyond the PC. An obvious direction is to use the Kinect to gain additional market share with the Xbox, since the Kinect is currently designed as a UI for this device. But I think focusing exclusively on the Xbox is a mistake. The Xbox (and other consoles and set-top boxes) may soon get enveloped and displaced by other technologies, particularly connected TVs.

I suggest that Microsoft leverage the Kinect as an element in a coherent connected TV strategy. Connected TVs are just emerging, and there is still time to match the developments of Google, Apple, and others in this space. To enter the connected TV market, Microsoft needs to quickly develop a connected TV OS, forge relationships with app developers, and acquire or partner with content providers (e.g., Netflix, OnLive.com). This is all feasible given Microsoft's significant software expertise and its existing relationships (e.g., with Netflix, game developers, etc).

Microsoft has been struggling to gain leadership in markets outside the PC. For instance, it's behind in smartphones, tablets, and portable media players. The Kinect could give Microsoft the edge to dominate the emerging connected TV market. The technology strikes me as an excellent UI for the 10-foot viewing experience, especially for interactive media. It can then leverage success in this market to gain further ground in related connected device markets. I think there is a significant opportunity here. Thoughts?
What performance can I expect from a single instance? I know that your doing shared hosting on AWS Instances, but not sure which EC2 type, nor how many instances are being deployed to each. Without knowing that, it's hard to comment on whether five cents an hour is worth it or not (also that is time that the application is deployed correct, not compute time?)
One interesting thing I've seen here in Australia is that people actually still seem to read those NYPost-style daily local newspapers. Am I just imagining this? If not, maybe a tool to help newspapers create their own "deals" would be a decent business.

I got a mailing from them way back when I was graduating high school. I looked at it over and over, but was never bold enough to actually apply to such a non-traditional school. I think that was a big mistake on my part. Still think about that choice on a regular basis, many years later.
I think we can all agree at least that the current 'college experience' goes a little to far in the other extreme. I'd argue that at this point its actually a step backward from adulthood.

One big difference is that Iran's Revolutionary Guard isn't directly financed by the US State Department to the tune of $1.6 billion. That dollar amount is becoming increasingly public here in the US.

If the Police in Egypt start running around with machetes and hunting down dissidents to murder them like they did in Iran, the American government is going to have a hard time maintaining the completely bullshit "Mubarak is our Partner in Peace" line.

That's doubly true when you consider the obscene amount of blood and treasure poured into Iraq under the premise that the US is "investing in Arab democracy."
