I strongly suggest you listen to the BBC Reith Lectures on at the moment, with Aung San Suu Kyi. It's a common fallacy that change comes through the mood of the people. It's only true when those in control of the guns (literally) decide to concede and pass power, accepting the will of the people.

We can see the same going on on Libya at the moment, as in Burma before - Libya will only be free once Muammar Gaddafi is gone, as until then he has shown that he can, and will oppose the people using violence. The only reason the campaign is still going on there, is because of an armed insurgency, backed by and working in conjunction with NATO armed forces.

Were it not for this, we'd have seen a similar situation to Burma, with the uprising crushed, and the descent of the protesters having to become non-violent and take decades to come to fruition, if ever.

I'd say this is the idea Hipmunk is going after...
He changed how the West perceived China forever. He might not have changed things in China itself, but that picture has helped influence foreign policy ever since.

It raised the profile of human rights abuses in China, along with the whole Tiananmen Square incident, which has been on the agenda of every Western government since.
This comment is only borderline HN-worthy, since it is going to mix religion, philosophy, and politics:

1) We historically give religious organizations wide discretion in the accumulation of wealth and how they dispose of it. This is controversial in some quarters, but even if one were not inclined to be religious or to see present value in relatively wealthy religious institutions, one could justify it as respecting "the democracy of the dead" and not overturning their distributional preferences on the mere strength that you happen to be living right now and they do not.

2) A Catholic or Protestant church suddenly discovered to be wealthier than expected would not be expected to surrender that wealth to the government in virtually any Western country, which is (per 1) for the best. If it were a country I had any political say in, I would be strongly inclined to grant Hindu temples the same courtesy.

3) Poverty in India sucketh royally. Contrasting that with a particular rich temple makes sense if, and only if, one has an efficient gold-into-anti-poverty engine. There may exist a system which fits that description, but the present government of India is manifestly not it. In the absence of evidence that windfall taxation would be treated differently than India's other sources of revenue, which get redirected to corruption and cronyism with some regularity, I would be inclined to leave the gold in the ground. Giving it to the government does not guarantee that it does not get looted, to put it mildly.

I've long since abandonned JSF in favor of Wicket to build what you call in-house apps: the latter being much more designer-and-developer-friendly imho.
But I wouldn't use Wicket (nor JSF for that matter) for a public facing site, because it relies too much on the session. It is possible to produce stateless pages in Wicket but it's not worth the hassle.
For such a use case, I would rather use a classic MVC-style framework. Something à la Stripes or Spring MVC, although I am not very happy with the prospect of using JSP (or Freemarker or Velocity) as the view layer.
I'm also experimenting with using JAX-RS, coupled with a templating library as a web framework. Didn't push the experiment too far though, but it's clear that it's a barebone solution compared to classic web frameworks.

'I think it's only when you make a complete rewrite from the bottom up in another paradigm that you can extend the power while retaining the usefulness.'

True, but again, look at the users. People with very poor IT knowledge and very scared of change. Any new solution pointing at this market will have to:1) be as easy to use as excel; 2) much better than excel (why change otherwise?).

I think that being better than excel overall is impossible, but looking into specific businesses and uses it should be.

Why is it so good with private assets that most likely are outside the country? How does it help taxpayers?
What about 'taking too much time' though?
Ending that with the "labor shortage" bit really undermined the rest. I read that in much of India it's a faux pas to buy a washing machine rather than hire the little old lady down the block. Labor shortages drive technological innovation, while labor surpluses lead to desperate workers taking menial jobs which are beneath their potential as human beings, as well as Luddism.
I wouldn't sell it to them outright. Potentially they have done due diligence on selling your software and have decided to buy the software from you and sell it themselves. If you are willing to take the risk, push them to license the software from you as a framework. Take a look at the models that ATG (now oracle), and sword-ciboodle crm have. They are established enterprise models where the framework is licensed to a company and the company is free to make changes of their own (but not resell). When you put in future updates you can sell them new licenses for the later versions.
>Some of us actually appreciate being a life form, expiration date and all.

Good for you. Some of us, however, think that people should be able to choose their own fates, time of death included. People are not defined by their expiration dates, but by their lives, accomplishments and so on. To accept death as "natural" makes as much sense as accepting polio as natural and just allowing the disease to ravage the body instead of applying medicine. Hey, it's "natural" after all, right? Can't be bad if it's from nature, right?

>To live long/forever is to halt evolution.

FYI evolution does not mean progress, just adaptation. What does it matter to halt or slow down this completely arbitrary mechanism at this point in our evolution? (Which many would argue happened a long time ago anyways.)

>I'm more than happy to take my shot at life, live my 8 decades, then get out of life's way. After a certain stage in life, we take more than we contribute in terms of scarce resource.

It's funny to think that the life expectancy has increased so much in the last few millennia. What would you have said if the average life span was around 25 like it was a few thousand years ago?

>When my time comes, I will be more than happy to get out of the way and let time march on.

Okay, go ahead and be apathetic about death if you want, but don't pretend you're some vanguard of the sanctity of life.

I'm not saying life extension will be without problems, of course. All I'm saying is that accepting death as inevitable when we are ever closer to conquering it, is not noble, it's defeatist. It's clinging to tradition. I say research away and may our children live to at least 200.

"consumers spent an average of 81 minutes per day using apps on smart phones and tablets, versus 74 minutes surfing the Web through a PC or mobile phone browser"

But how much time do people spend using apps on a PC? You might draw different conclusions that the article if I told you that these same consumers spend an average of 186 minutes a day using apps like Word, Excel, Outlook, and so on (a made up stat, btw)

And to include time spent on the Evernote iPhone app (say), but exclude time spent on the Evernote PC app is disengenuous at best.

People spend so much time using mobile apps because pretty much every task just takes longer on a mobile app than it does on a PC. Typing, for example.

And finally: how much of this smart phone app usage was games? That people prefer casual gaming on an iPhone to casual gaming on a flash browser is not new or particularly surprising, and doesn't support the central thesis of the article.
Actually they did not restrict the access to your own data, but to a specific method of accessing them. Which, I am quite sure, is no legal issue for anybody

I'm not sure if it's "almost done". I bought the MEAP (early access) a long time ago, and for months nothing happened at all. Then a second author came on board to get things moving.

A few days ago I got an update from Manning:

"What's new?
Chapter 2, "Testing and Debugging" has been added.
Chapter 3, "Functions are fundamental" has been revised.

What's next?
Our next update will be coming quickly, with revised versions of Chapter 4 on closures and Chapter 5 on object-orientation with prototypes.

I haven't bothered yet to actually look at the PDF, it sounds like it's still in a rather early stage.

No body is mentioning but the tutorial is really descriptive in content where much of the design tutorials on the web lacks. It explains each design step, not 'how to do it' but 'why to do it', which i think developer minds looking for in design.

I doubt there's a legal issue here, just grubby, low-brow behaviour, which is basically par for the course for Facebook.

And if all you want is to build something just for the fun of it, don't start a company. You'll lose money, time and nerves. There really are only to options when building something. Either build something people want (and if somebody built it before you did, build a better version - see: Altavista, Yahoo and others vs. Google) or build something, and then make people want it (see: iPad).
But don't start a company to build something just so you can satisfy your professional curiosity. That's what side projects are for.
