This is not about just up-scaling an app. Tablets are a completely different form factor which means that from a UX perspective, one needs to think different and create an entirely new UI.
Have a look at different iPhone apps with iPad variants. Oftentimes the iPad version embraces the additional space to offer more or more detailed or very different functionality.

The comparisons in question list apps that have specifically been created with this in mind. Apps for Honeycomb that rethought the Phone UI and adapted it to fit the constraints and new possibilities of a tablet.

Since, after all, Tablets aren't just blown-up smartphones.

What the author of the article implies is that just recompiling a smartphone app for the tablet form factor should count as porting. That's akin to Apple saying they have 100.000 (or what) iPhone 4 apps because people updated the background graphics for the retina display. That would certainly be true, they're still iPhone apps though.

Thus, just changing some parameters so that font sizes are corrected doesn't make a smartphone app be a tablet app. The form factor is different.

I think maybe its about time we set up something life the NSF to conduct these trial for the FDA (in the particular case of orphaned and old drugs) and generally does a much better job of dealing with the mess that drug trails have come to be.

At some point, this knowledge becomes a public good and the conflict of interest presented by those seeking to win approval also being the ones who stand to win a "get a monopoly free card" becomes too great a moral hazard to expect to overcome.

There just seems to be something fundamentally wrong with rent seeking someones pain, no matter what legal process led to that result. It feels like something we should have grown out of by now.

For the product I work on (a connection bonding appliance & service), we've used Soekris devices but have found them to be underpowered compared to newer Atom-based products from Portwell [1] and Lanner [2]. Geode-based products are fine if all you're doing is basic firewall, routing, and VPN stuff. Apparently Soekris is soon to introduce their own Atom device.

Another option is a Linux netbook configured with VLANs to get around having only a single NIC. Then if you lock yourself out via the network, you have a keyboard and monitor built-in and don't have to go find the serial cable in your stuff-you-hoped-you'd-never-have-to-use-again box.

With GNOME 3.0 being such a major (and controversial) redesign, there are plenty of people who would say that it should be delayed for further refinement of the design. Most notably, Ubuntu has spurned the new GNOME Shell in favor of their Unity desktop environment. However, GNOME's got a history of not second-guessing or reconsidering their UI changes just because they're controversial. Also, the crazy talk about a GTK4 is a dead giveaway.

We still have a substantial manufacturing base, it's just that we've squeezed the jobs out of it by emphasizing high productivity and automation, while outsourcing the dirtiest work. The developing countries can enjoy more industrial jobs because their wages are lower, but the U.S. is already facing a "robot economy." We just haven't raised the question politically yet.

There was no backup of the CVS repository. The production server saved us since we were able to treat it as the definitive backup. This was before Git and the concept that everyone had their own copy of the entire repository.

There is a sort of half intent by the developer. Yes, the developer had intended to delete the repository that was in his home directory, but he had no idea that it was actually a link to the master repository.

I'm really a bit confused here. If a Goldman employee did this, he'd get a $50M bonus, be knighted, and be given permanent immunity in advance by the President of the United States against all prosecution, whether related to this affair, or any others, past, present, or future. If a hedge fund manager did this, same thing. If any Republican politician did this, same thing. But somehow, if it's a tech industry employee, or (of course) anyone in the bottom 99.5% of the class structure in the US, they get fired and/or jailed.
>"Alternately, it can be explained by the fact that a lot of happy Apple customers — 'fans', I suppose — are fine with farming out some of their technological decision-making to Apple."

LTE has nothing to do with my message, you're responding to jrockway now.

I was talking about how Apple fans slightly alter history to make Apple look better. Lesser known inventors/persons/products are brushed aside and Apple gets all the credit. Tesla vs. Edison.

How many Apple fans know about LG Prada and how many of them think that Apple invented the touch-screen phone? Apple is very good at POLISHING existing concepts. This is a very important skill in itself, but why not call it for what it is instead of lavishing such praise on them?

Here's another one: most Mac users still have the impression that Macs are inherently more secure than Windows machines when the opposite is in fact true. This has been mentioned by several security people here on HN to the surprise of others.

And here's you doing it: "Overall, I trust Apple to sell me the best all-round phone given the constraints of current technology." A good phone first of all has to be able to make and take calls, but iPhone 4 has a critical hardware flaw that makes it drop calls. There are no technology constraints that prevent Apple from making a phone that doesn't drop calls when touched.

An yet, in spite all of this, do you think that iPhone 4 is a mediocre phone? No, you still think it's the best "all-around" phone.

Somewhat different situation, but after having quit one a Silicon Valley startup after its acquisition, I still have access to a lot of its network. I'm sure it's a common occurrence. Shutting people completely out of a network is really hard, where there are so many different accounts to close. (Unix access on all boxes, mysql, cms, email, bug-tracking, apple dev accts, irc, support forums, etc. etc.) Especially doing so without deleting data (which you might need in the future, to check on something that the employee worked on, or an old email containing documentation, etc…)

Rather, I think the issue is the lack of a good backup strategy. Off-site, automated backups should have been in place. I've seen someone `rm -rf /var/mysql` and, after a heart attack, recover it. Your system should be rm-proof!
The Role of Responsive Web Design

Since the possible set of bidders includes non-starving non-entrepreneurs and everything in between, the vector relationship is direction-less and thus incapable of being 'backwards'.

That being said, this has been a staple of charity 'silent auctions' for a while. I and 79 of my closest friends had lunch with Dean Martin in Las Vegas one year as part of a MD telethon related charity event. That was like 1977 I think.

From the point of view of encouraging entreprenurial growth it is probably counter productive, you've got a lunch, with some guys who understand running a small business, but are you really going to be able to develop enough shared context to make any improvement over your current plan? I think it is unlikely and a trip to the library to read some of the things they have published (or accounts of how they did what they did) would give you a stronger benefit as the thoughts on paper are concise and on target, and not competing with 4 other people for attention.

Now if you're a founder doing a funding round and you think your pitch is going to take more than 30 seconds and you've been trying for weeks to get them to just take the damn meeting so you could pitch them, well this could be one way to work that.

Actually, big corporations outsource to transfer risk and not because it's cheap. To compliance/legal departments, paying exorbitant fees to qualified vendors is saving money in their risk analyses.
ASP Web Hosting
ASP Web hosting is basically the one which consists of different scripting packages in which the customization is at the maximum. Encoding any sort of ASP web page is really very easy, if any page is having an extension of .asp then it’s using the ASP type of web hosting.
I believe that is more to do with baggage handler's unions and worker regulation. Though they certainly exaggerate it to make a profit.
Another twist - in countries where rich idiots can pay to slaughter an elephant, the game wardens have an incentive (and the resources) to manage the populations (i.e. move problem elephants, and fight poachers). In countries without hunting permits, the whole system is underfunded, making it much easier for poachers to move in.

I believe that your connection of the tragedy of the commons with this specific story may be wrong.

I recall Zimbabwe is one of the countries that more or less _privatized_ elephants, and the owners of private hunting parks do not treat them at all as an infinitely renewable resource, exactly like a cow farmer doesn't. They don't have interest in over hunting, on the contrary their profit depends on having a healthy and stable population. I am not qualified enough to judge the long term effects, but Zimbabwe has had a stable/growing population of elephants for more than twenty years now.

While I don't like big animals hunting, I'd say this shows a completely different outlook from the one you refer to.

"it's not his fault that this happened"

This is wrong; and is a class of error which I see frequently, especially in political comment; both from the left and the right.

The underlying incorrect assumption is that responsibility is mutually exclusive.

In many cases, responsibilities are divided cleanly between people, but this is an organisational convenience, not a moral law. There are cases where it is inescapable that more than one person has the same responsibility. Consider an army sargeant: he may assign a task to a soldier, but still has the responsibility for seeing that it is done. This is true for all leadership positions.

Much political discourse revolves around who has responsibility, and frequently one sees it argued that A is not responsible because B is, often in cases where this is incorrect. Eg, employer versus employee, individual versus government, etc etc.

The error is made in both directions, depending on the political beliefs of the arguer: an individual is not responsibly because the organisation is, or the organisation is not responsible because the individual is..

A particularly dumb one, in my opinion, is the argument that government is not responsible for something, because individuals are. In my view, all the valid responsibilities of government are derived from responsibilities of the individual: the responsibility to defend the nation is derived from the individuals responsibility to protect him/herself and family, etc.

There are two separate NULLs. In C for instance a pointer with the value 0 is a "null pointer". This is a language construct. When a compiler sees this construct it knows to use whatever it thinks is best to represent a null pointer on the target architecture (which may not be the same thing as a representation of the value 0).
I'd be surprised if the GNU people claimed use of algorithms was sufficient to warrant the forced adoption of GPL, as that goes against everything they stand for. Rather, I suspect a direct transfer of code would be the minimum necessary condition for the FSF to raise a stink.

My adjustable desk started with this:
Monitors in front of tower PC when sitting. When I want to stand, I put my main monitor up onto my tower and get 4 empty shoeboxes which I use to prop up my keyboard and mouse to a comfortable height. I decided that if I really was into the whole 'standing desk' thing I'd prove it to myself by doing this, then maybe one day I could spend my money on a fancy desk, but only after I'd shown that I'd stick to standing while working.

It takes like 30 seconds to move my desk around, I'd be kidding myself if I could justify a $800 desk (if I could even get it in AUS) to save 30 seconds a few times a day
Based on previous "investigations", basically nothing will happen to the company and things will continue as usual.

The $5-per-pill price URL Pharma set for Colcrys surprised the FDA

Find the people that were surprised and terminate them immediately. The "FDA" wasn't surprised, it was a few idiots left in charge.

What if they just do a compromise of $2.50 a pill, is that really going to help anyone when it was 10 cents previously? How about $2, or even $1 ? 1000% markup is okay when it comes to people's health? It's okay for the CEO to buy their 2nd or 3rd house with the profits while patients suffer? When as a society are we going to tell corporations they need to be responsible for all their actions and not just help a few charities to do penance afterwards.
All Time Low Tickets
There is no such thing as limited liquidity, it's all based on the perception of value a currency has!

Since currencies are no longer backed by gold, a national bank, f.e. the FED, can print as much money as they want.
However, an excess of available money of course leads to its devaluation on the markets.

Nevertheless, there will never be a huge availability of VC money. There are just more easy ways to profit than high risk investments.

And no, no one is gonna back just every idea, that would be silly and lead to nothing.

I think access is also based on perception only. If you think an idea will work and if you believe it can, you'll invest. No one can be sure, it's still a little bit of gambling. As an entrepreneur, you gotta know how to sell your idea, perception counts...
