Let's hope that what you're describing will, in fact, unfold! A shareholder-induced leadership/direction change would be preferable to an embarrassing acquisition, especially given RIM's prestigious history.

For my money, I'll take the opposite side and say that RIM's too far gone down the entrenchment hole to recover with much dignity.

I know they're famous for Farm/City/Frontierville, but they seem to have done a good job acquiring popular games/studios (i.e. Words with Friends..)

And while I haven't played it yet, I've heard that "Hanging with Friends" is a lot of fun as well (which is the result of them acquiring NewToy when they got Words...)

Personally, It's nice to see Zynga attempting to keep "fresh" and not sticking with just the *villes. However, I do think that increased competition (for instance, on the iPhone Zynga Poker pales compared to Pokerist.com's Texas Poker) will make it interesting for Zynga.

I don't get many DMs on twitter, but if I did I could see an automated "clean out everything over a month old and email it to me" service being worthwhile.
Amazing job with these apps! I think each solves a definite need in the market.

My challenge to you, however, is to integrate them all in a way that makes sense. Even though it's bundled, it's a different app for each type of task. They are really random features of a potentially great product.

You clearly have great insight into what these customers want. I'd be surprised if you didn't succeed tackling another problem for this market. Just by chance, are you sure you're marketing your products properly and giving them a fair shot?
I'd just like to add - I've been a developer at HiiDef for almost a year, and it's a fantastic place to work. Definitely the best group of people I've worked with. And, for those of you who are just doing a find through the page, we are fully remote.

> "While geeks might take privacy risks, your mom doesn't and she gets pissed off with every privacy update".

Is it me or is this exactly backwards? Geeks are the biggest privacy freaks around, but I don't think most moms on Facebook give it a second thought.

Geeks post hysterical blog posts about every privacy update, your mom doesn't even notice - the "new terms of service" dialog stays undismissed and unread at the top of her Facebook page for months.
This may have been mentioned elsewhere, but this is the first I've seen it phrased like this:

Circles lets your mom expand her universe - In Facebook, your mom tends to limit her universe to friends since... well... Facebook defined connections to others with the term. Google+ doesn't define your mom's relationships - your mom does.

The naming of the relationship is a really neat point. Even if you're not your mom and use Facebook to connect with colleagues or acquaintances or investors, they're still weighed down by the baggage of the word 'friend.' Whether or not Facebook has the ability to share with separate groups of people, they're all called the same thing. There's a mental tax here when you have to convert: friends from school, friends from the bar, friends from work, wait, no, colleagues from work.

Similarly, Twitter has no labels of importance: you're following someone's tweets, but there's no implied relationship. Lists are one way to add semantic meaning, but you don't use them with the same regularity as your main timeline.

Features aside, Google+ strikes a neat balance here with just the ability to label your relationships. No mental tax (unlike Facebook), plus meaningful information (unlike Twitter).
There's already group chat and groups. It's a nestled feature but it's there.
It's true. And it's one of the reasons I can't keep using Sublime.

Also, as nice as that preview-scrollbar is, it doesn't show the full file. Just ~ 3 screens worth. Almost totally useless for navigating a file as opposed to a function. As much as I hate Visual Studio, the MetalScroll plugin is just what I would have liked. You can get a "feel" for the layout of the entire file / class / etc in one glance, navigating with it is massively better. http://code.google.com/p/metalscroll/

What would make me happy is TextMate + Chrome-like tokens in the scroll bar for where matches exist when you search. And threaded project-searches. But alas, TM hasn't changed in quite a while. I guess it's time to learn Vim.
Glad to see a New Hampshire company on this list
+1 for moo.com — great quality, great service (I ordered using a bad file and the cards were wonky, but they still reordered for free and overnighted it to me).
I'd be careful with that. Most people probably wouldn't try too hard to promote you, and "just tweeting so I can use this crappy inbox cleaner. bit.ly/asdf..." isn't really great promotion.

In general forcing viral activity both misses the point and fails to work. I'd say you should at most randomly give away free inbox cleanings to your followers / people who tweet about the service. Really, though, you should probably just be active on twitter and talk to people. That doesn't scale well, but it's the most effective viral tactic there is.

My heuristic is developer estimate x 2 + 2 weeks for anything of substance, just based on my own experience and managing others.
Anonymous functions are very handy, and I think they should really be taken a step further. There's really no reason why it shouldn't be possible to pass an actual function body where a function pointer is required:

int v[...];

qsort( v, ..., (a, b) { return *(int*)a - *(int*)b } );

Such usage would also have an added benefit of letting the compiler do the type inference for a, b and the return value and not needing to explicitly specify them in qsort() call.
Anonymous to the Machine: You Will Rust and die from the blood of our hearts
Google+ really is a Facebook killer. Here are few simple reasons why.
Google+ integrated into all Google web properties. Some, like GMail, Youtube, and search, are already huge market leaders.

Google+ integrated into Chrome, which is quickly becoming the browser of choice. Social notifications straight to your browser without any extensions... Default Google+ functionality like share/+1/etc. Facebook has no chance of competing with this.

Google+ integrated into Android, the leading smart phone OS. What happens when all those hundreds of millions of Android phones start shipping with default Google+ functionality? What happens if Google decides Facebook doesn't really have a place on Android anymore?

Google+ is Google's Grand Unification. If they really planned for everything to work out like this, then they're absolute geniuses and they pulled a fast one on almost everyone. They've built the most impressive social network I've seen, completely in reverse, one piece (site) at a time.

I honestly won't be surprised if Microsoft/Facebook/Twitter start crying foul and throwing around the monopoly word. And perhaps that's why all these puzzle pieces are starting to slowly come together, because if they launched all this functionality at once, Google would probably be neck deep in lawsuits.

As a corollary to all this, if Google+ fails, Google will take a huge hit. It's a remarkable gamble that has the potential to change the web entirely, for better or worse.

EDIT: I forgot Google Maps with Google+ integration/check ins. It's daunting to think of all the ways Google can take over the world.

Gruber is at his worst in this piece.

First, as he notes, this happens a LOT (link, but not explicity attribution). And as he even notes, he does it himself -- and he does it regularly. The difference between him and Ina? Apparently, Ina's readers don't follow links (how does Gruber know that -- he doesn't). And as he notes, many sites do far worse -- no link, no attribution. But apparently this isn't about the crime so much as the criminal (allthingsd).

And of course he conveniently picks an Apple story to become self-righteous. I could have found hundreds of non-Apple stories over the past five years where this happened. But clearly none of them are important. Only Apple writers count?

He then goes on and claims that the correction was even wrong:

“Enthusiast site” is pejorative. Enthusiast implies that MacStories is produced by zealous hobbyists.

This is the oddest read of that term I've ever seen. When people say it is an "Apple enthusiast site", that means it is a site read by Apple enthusiasts. And MacStories is that. As is DaringFireball. Engadget is a gadget enthusiast site. Sports Illustrated is a magazine for sports enthusiasts. There's nothing pejorative about it. A "fanboi" site, sure that would be pejorative, but not this.

And Gruber, effectively put his attack dogs on Ina, and for what, for not explicitly calling out the name of this site. For a while her comments were filled with hateful attacks against her as a person, and many saying they had come from Gruber's site. They were removed, but they were the types of personal attacks you'd expect from a 1960s civil rights protest, but not because someone didn't add explicit attribution (because clearly running the story with a web link isn't enough).

One of his last lines is this, "Defensiveness is never flattering." Gruber should have considered starting with that line.
That is certainly an interesting idea.
Why do people try to demonstrate how on the money Steve was back then? Clearly, he's had many deeper insights since then and you would hope so.

He's abandoned some of what he talked about and doubled down on others. And many of the ideas he's had only could have emerged as he went down the path.
" I conceived, designed and implemented a compelling prototype for it almost single-handedly, and then wrote a fair percentage of the production ......but that's pretty much as far as it goes."

That's some modesty!.

Wow this may be the first Gruber article I've actually liked. Professional blogging has devolved almost exclusively into rewriting someone else's article, cramming their story onto your site full of your links to your stuff and usurping as much traffic, SEO and ad impressions as you can get for it.

And it's really nice to see it called out. All of these blogs would be much more enjoyable to read if they weren't afraid of losing ad impressions by linking to something useful instead of a tag page or past fluff piece.

From the "About" page (http://bandilab.org/about.html):

The main goals of the Bandicoot system are:

- efficient implementation of the relational algebra

- clean language for programmers (rather than "English speakers")

- easy to understand transactions

- open interface

- small code base
Uniqueness type
I'm really starting to appreciate how Google+ has sort of replaced my need for Facebook to chat with friends, Twitter to quickly share links/thoughts, and a blog (like Tumblr) to share longer posts/ideas all at once, while maintaining extremely easy-to-use privacy controls. A truly brilliant product design, hopefully they can keep it up.
When I worked at Sony we were told there is no such thing as off the record when you are talking to a journalist.
I like this as a code editor, but the lack of even a rudimentary project/directory view (other than the file list overlay which I don't like at all) kills it for me.
Mompreneurs & Intelligently Creative Time Management
A "relation" is the fundamental concept in relational databases. When they say "set based" they really mean "relation based" as far as I can tell from their site. So this is essentially a relational database that replaces SQL with their bandicoot language.

Stralep asked "But why are relational types limited only to be composed of primitive types?". Well, most SQL-based databases are like that, and you link separate relations together using foreign keys. It would be an interesting feature if they made it hold hierarchies of objects, but then, that reduces the ability to perform relational algebra operations because you'd be hiding parts of your relations in those nested structures. That becomes an SQL vs NoSQL debate. Object Store vs. relational data.

I notice that they have a very simple distributed mechanism. You can have many instances of "executors" (the interpreter / computation handler) and of "volume" (data storage and access), but just one transaction manager. Seems pretty simple. What I want to know is how this compares to the speed and scalability of MySQL. Do I want to start replacing my MySQL servers with bandicoot?

It also occurred to me that you essentially have a stored-procedures-only system here. You can call any function via http but you can't execute arbitrary queries. Aside from that, I don't see any built-in security other than placing this behind a firewall if you want to limit it to only back-end server use in your PHP/Ruby/Java/Arc/etc. applications. You will have to edit the bandicoot code file in conjunction with your web app code to incorporate all the queries you need, but that separation of concerns could be considered a good thing.
For only the circles editor. His point is that he had very little to do with the rest of Google+ and nothing to do with the rest of Google's redesigns. He's still taking credit for the significant work he did on Circles, as he should.

You guys are funny! ;-)

Pretty strange that Apple does something like this, they never did any kind of verification in the past.

I installed DP1 or DP2 on an empty disk using the DMG inside the app bundle and if I remember correctly (I might well not) there was no verification. Maybe it only kicks in when you install from the recovery partition? But why?

I completely forgot to check whether the GM install app still includes the installer DMG and I apparently can’t check anymore since that app was apparently deleted after I installed the update. That didn’t happen before. Since I’m nervous without that DMG I’m going to download Lion from the App Store again (that works but it takes time).

Edit: I just checked, the recovery partition is only 650MB. You are re-downloading the whole or large parts of the installer (3.75GB in size) when installing from the recovery partition. Apple checks whether you can re-download Lion. (The same happens when you re-download Lion from the App Store.)

I guess if you really want you can call this “activation” but I don’t really know how Apple should do it differently. Your Mac sends a request to a Server somewhere in order to download the installer. I’m fairly certain that without any activation it would be very simple to fake such a request and just download the installer at will. It would be no different from Apple putting Lion on a public server somewhere, for everyone to download. The only way to prevent this is – as far as I know – to do some kind of verification. What they could maybe do is to already put parts of the installer on the recovery partition, that way whatever is downloaded from Apple’s servers wouldn’t work without a recovery partition (which you can only get if you at one point had the Lion installer app). I’m, however, not sure that’s worth the trouble.

When you install from the installer app (I don’t know whether a clean install is possible if you do that, probably not) and when you install using the DMG inside the installer app bundle (it’s still there in the Lion GM) your installation is not verified.

That makes sense, I guess.
