This would be useful, but even on my hdd I haven't the room. Features like this are why we need ssd+hdd (unless they expect it for 500gb ssd macbook pro and mac pros only).
Was it designed with small devices in mind, with less consideration given to laptops and desktops? Reading on a 15" laptop, it's annoying how much more screen space I have to scan to get the same information. I feel like I'm reading with my neck instead of my eyes.
> Edit 2...

Dude. just. fucking. stop. You are wrong - be a man and admit it. It was a local install where I had simply erased the HD first. I left out the rest of the footage because, seriously, I THOUGHT YOU WOULD GET IT.

Another sad day on the HN, whatever, my apologies for not following wmf's suggestion.

"What happens if Google decides Facebook doesn't really have a place on Android anymore?"

If Google did that, they would face billions of dollars worth of fines from competition regulators in the U.S and Europe.
> If the patents ("innovation") were so valuable, Nortel wouldn't have gone out of business.

I am no supporter of software patents. But I don't think this follows directly. Producing innovations is different from having the business acumen to make money out of it.
>But the company’s most outspoken champion is its founder and chief executive, Robert Parsons. He will remain with the company...

I'm guessing this means the ad campaigns will continue as before? Damn. I was hoping (for a few seconds) that this might clean things up a bit.
Top 8 Facebook Ads Tips
Beware - "Advisors" Slide
One good thing about Google+ might be that I don’t see it getting private messaging that is not email. So at least the messaging will stay open and you won’t be stuck with inboxes that don’t work on your phone etc.
When I first signed into it, I thought that's how it would be, but what I've found is that as people added me, and I get the notification, I just add them to appropriate circles then.

It's pretty painless.
Writing useful JavaScript applications in less than half the size of jQuery
Apple does it all the time though. They removed Google Voice because it "competed with core functionality." Facebook would "compete with Android's core functionality" in this scenario...
> For a long time now, Twitter’s proponents have argued that Twitter’s 140 character limit was an advantage. It keeps posts brief and to the point. Once you use Google+ for a bit, though, you come to realize that those constraints are really just annoying at the end – and likely hard to explain to a mainstream user anyway.

I have to say, I really disagree with that one. I didn't truly appreciate the value of the 140 character limit until I spent some time using Buzz. Once people are free to dump an entire essay into your timeline, it ceases to feel like a quick visit that I can pull 20 or 30 bite-sized nuggets of interaction out of, and more like as RSS feed -- an enormous backlog of reading I can never hope to catch up on and stop caring about.
Gruber went overboard in his criticism of the wording of the attribution.

"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity." - Robert J. Hanlon
Like Twitter encourages? Or maybe you're referring to YouTube comments.
Interesting. My experience with a couple of releases (10.4 and 10.5, I believe) was that the seeds would be wildly unstable, and built a long time ago, and then, out of the blue, the GM would be stable. I.e., Apple seems to clean up a lot of things at the last minute and roll them into the GM.

I'm thinking a phone app might factor the interface into multiple panels, while a desktop app may have one composite panel. A pad might not have buttons at all. So what is called "styling" is the hard part - essentially you have to write a new app for each platform.

How cool would it be, if an app specification could be vague, mention the elements by function but the platform determined the instance and layout? Maybe let you set a couple of clues, linking the elements together by properties, letting the app engine choose how to factor the app onto the device.

Facebook indeed has similar features. But we should not simply compare features when comparing social platforms. Philippe Beaudoin made a very insightful post about this:

"For a social platform, the implication of turning a feature into a core part of the user experience cannot be overstated. It's because the real feature of social platforms are the way its user base exploits it. If only a few users rely on friends lists as a filtering feature, the feature might as well not be there. But G+ says: "Hey! Welcome! The first thing you should do is setup some filters!" Add a few thousand users and the bandwagon effect will turn G+ into a much different place than Facebook."

Agreed, but I sure hope if this happens that they keep the two / three ads per episode model. I feel like that's pretty fair. We get to watch good TV online, they get to show us a few ads.
But if they go all Youtube and start inserting flash overlay banners I'll jump ship.

Thanks for bringing this up. Felt exactly the same pain, worked on it and launched a solution. No private beta or invitations required - 100% public and free !

The result: A dead simple "remote control" which allows your contacts to update their information directly in your phone book.

All you need to do is:

- setup trusted connections with friends by email address (invitations possible as well)
- enable sync via Google Sync (OAuth)

What you get: automatic and immediate contact updates straight into your phone when your contacts change their info.

Feedback seriously appreciated as well (here or on the site).

goes to show you don't have to make a product people like, think is "cool", or even one that your peers respect to be wildly successful. Just make it useful and sell sell sell.
It's not that ridiculous. What happens when they decide the great services shouldn't be free anymore since there is no competition. Even Hayek hated monopolies and argued that rules and government intervention were needed to defend against them.
People got into a LOT of trouble over that as early as 1995, cf. the Randal Schwartz case: http://www.lightlink.com/spacenka/fors/
For me like the original incantations of Firefox, aka. Phoenix, Chrome has the following "features". Fast, unobtrusive (no bookmarks bar, "Your browsing an insecure site", blah blah blah, nor million popups), and you just type stuff into the address bar and it knows what to do. I'm sure as market share increases it will regain bloat in the same way that FF did. And yet another developer will think, I know let's get rid of all those annoying popups.

I downloaded FF 5 the other day, 27 megs, I remember when it was ~2MB.

Maybe it's picked up since version 1. Also, it was a rather large file I was dealing with. Maybe I'll give it another go.

My understanding/impression at the time was that Sublime was at least in part using Python, although perhaps I'm mis-remembering. Once I observed that, the slowdown "made sense" to me. It may have also had to do with (regular expression) find/replace. So, altogether, my use may not have been "typical".
I'm not saying they would, I'm just trying to give an idea of the kind of power Google has at their finger tips right now.
A major gap I see in the integration of Picasa Web and Google+ is the lack of per-photo permissions, or at least the ability to easily create albums from existing ones without duplicating the photos.

I've been using Picasa Web to back up photos by syncing it with the desktop Picasa application. But not all photos that one may want to back up are of adequate quality to publicly share in the same album.

This means that instead of just being able to select which photos in a folder are public and which are private, Picasa users will still have to create new albums and reupload all the photos they explicitly want to share. This makes photo sharing on Google+ no less tedious than on Facebook -- when it had the potential to be much, much easier.
Does this magic voodoo work with people who aren't using this service (or if it doesn't right now, will it)? If it does, I'm sold.

You can agree or disagree with this piece, like or dislike Gruber but you have to accept one thing: He has personality and he has things to say.
He won a while ago with http://www.stefanoforenza.com/has-torvalds-finally-won/. And then a couple of years ago they contributed 20,000 lines of code to the Linux kernel, see http://arstechnica.com/microsoft/news/2009/07/microsoft-aims... for details.

As for Torvalds' reaction? See http://arstechnica.com/microsoft/news/2009/07/linus-torvalds... for his thoughts (the original source is behind a paywall or else I'd link to it).
Dear HN: Can you please make this plugin?
So, I arrived in China yesterday and the internet is SLOW (and not just because I'm hanging my computer out the window to catch some wifi signals). Here's how our favorite sites seem to load.

1. Header
2. 5 minute delay as the browser trys to reach platform.twitter.com
3. the rest of the page starts to load, while still trying to contact Twitter.

So, a real gem in Firefox would be able to deactivate scripts that call Twitter/Facebook/Etc. Will speed up the web (here, and everywhere I suppose), and also appeal to those of us that just aren't into social media.

Thanks

I totally agree. Their recent focus on consistent design is a step in the right direction. However, we all know that Engineering wins pretty much every time at Google so I'm especially curious and pleasantly surprised they pulled a product like this off.

I'm in UK. I was totally blown away by Skype's video chat on Christmas day when I first used it to chat to parents. Few drop outs but better quality sound than a phone call and video ... "we're living in the future" as they say.
Can you elaborate this?

"I know too many people who..." - this is not comment that adds anything new or interesting to discussion, it has 0 value to me or anyone here but if you provide valuable info about problems you see in Skype's technology or quality and how is G+ better, that + your honest opinion would be appreciated.
I agree, and also fight for more tangible responsibilities. No offense, but its hard to sell a business owner on why your copy writing is worth X-more dollars than some other guys. Sales or code or ideas that have been implemented with a tangible profit are helpful when asking for more money.

Sunnyvale, CA - Yahoo (YUI)

The YUI team at Yahoo is looking for a senior JavaScript engineer. You don't necessarily have to know YUI, but you should be very familiar with other libraries and be a master at JavaScript & DOM scripting. We build one of the most widely used JS libraries on the web, so we live, eat, and breath JavaScript. You should too.

Our HQ is in Sunnyvale, CA, so you must be located in the bay area, or be able to relocate. We'll help out with the relocation if you aren't local.

Hit me up if you are interested in hearing more.

The release date will perhaps be 10th of July (written as 10/7/11 in some parts of the world), or perhaps 7th of July just to signify that it's 10.7.

I wonder if Apple will do something like that.
Node is holding up just fine. About 600KB of memory. It is a beast. It is our first go with it and it was great!
Interesting, but the Todo example is misleading. Far more than 5 lines of code, it's heavily reliant on mixed logic in the template, which itself relies on HTML5 data. The data attributes are not namespaced, which could easily lead to collisions.

It looks very similar to Spine, but Spine is much less DOM-reliant and has clear separation of MVC. Perhaps a more complex Batmanjs example will better show how separation of logic is addressed.
The grammar on this page is terrible - "I'm Keeping a big Secret" - what's with the inconsistent capitalization?

This page leaves me more confused and frustrated than anything - what is your app? Why would I want to follow it on Twitter?

If you're keeping your app secret, you either shouldn't have a splash page, or should have a placeholder page with a quick sentence - even if it's just "Spread is going to revolutionize the way you share your ideas.", or something like that. As it stands, all I know is that Spread's splash page creators don't write very well.
I think you are spot on, and while it seems ridiculous to even me, the "friend" association really bugs me on Facebook. I realize it is just a label on a website, but the implication of adding someone to my Facebook friends list seems to be that I have some relationship with them that I absolutely do not. Thus, coworkers aren't my friends on Facebook, but I have no problems adding them on Google+.

That, combined with the immediate emphasis on limiting who is shared with from the very start makes Google+ a lot less stressful to use. Sure, it is a minor thing, but still pretty important.
It would be more fair to label this a comparison of the Android App vs. the mobile site than Android vs. iOS.

When the iOS app debuts, a comparison between those two will show useful information in the mobile phone wars. However, at this point the comparisons here are more relevant to the native vs. web debate than Android vs. iOS.
When you get to matters of safety you can either take an unforgiving, Darwinian view and stake people's survival on whether they read Consumer Reports that month, or you can take responsibility and be proactive about preventing theses dangers.

The "pure free market" ideal of caveat emptor makes businesses sound an awful like muggers loitering in dark alleys waiting for victims; something you need to protect yourself from. Sure, in a perfectly rational market and with perfectly informed participants these dangers are known and avoided, but perfection is never achieved in reality. Government regulation and licensing, when done properly, papers over the irrationality and information asymmetry by making the decision of what a business can do. After all, would any rational person eat at a restaurant that gave you food poisoning more often than not? If the government didn't force its closure lack of business would, and with more sick people too.
Total world domination.

Around 2000 or so Microsoft had a Windows Media Player binary for Linux and other Unix systems (Solaris, and HP/UX at least). It used to crash a lot but could play some .asf files. If I am not mistaken it was a Motif application.

But MPlayer was released at around that time and it was much better. I don't think anyone actually used WMP for anything and it was discontinued.

This was back when Real.com was THE media juggernaut and Microsoft was trying to catch up. Real had Linux binaries so I think they were just copying the formula.

(Yes, it was called Windows Media Player even under Linux).

Identifying Other HN Readers on Google+
So there was a thread earlier that had a list of HNers that have gotten Google+ invites. I went through the list and added some 55 or 60 people, which was nice, but I think we can do better than that.

I propose that we all add a link to our HN profiles on G+ so we can identify one other easily. This could serve as a pretty good long-term solution as well. You'd be able to add other HNers one by one as you find them, rather than adding 50 or 500 in a row by their email address.

Comments?
