I personally think Mission Control is pretty excellent, but then, I am running Lion on an Air without an external display. For that use case, Mission Control and the iOS-style features are both significantly more useful than I had any expectation of them being.

You can replace Mission Control with Expose via the preferences, although I'm not sure if it has inherited any of these changes the linked post complains about or if it is in fact the old Expose.

I've said it before.

Sign up for Lynda.com watch the JavaScript videos a couple of times and then get started.

I found that when something gets turned into a video a lot of the un-necessary and verbose ness get taken out. Plus you get the advantage of the tutor putting the right emphasis on the right words.

I have learned quite a few things that way.
Almost all these IPOs are backed by solid revenues. And almost in all cases, the companies have been around for 5-10 years - very much unlike the IPOs of the last bubble.

That fact alone makes this very different from late 90s.

So while there may be a bubble "technically", that's not saying much. A better question would be: how bad of a bubble is it? In my opinion, not terribly bad and almost nothing like the last one.

MySpace short sale is evidence of how this is NOT a huge bubble. In a bubble, it would go for billions. Also to date, I don't believe any party has sold myspace for a net loss. News Corp may have sold it in a short sale, but they did so after making hundreds of millions in ad rev from it.
I have recently tried (yet again) to make some bootable USB keys on a mac. Turns out you have to convert iso to UDxx:

$ hdiutil convert -format UDRW -o bootable.img bootable.iso && dd if=bootable.img of=/dev/disk1 bs=1m # Check the disk number with diskutil list!

If it still won't boot, rEFIt (or Boot Camp, naturally) help with BIOS emulation.
Apple has better marketing, but it is also more consumer-driven than some of the competition. E.g. compare application sandboxing with the pain that is SELinux (for the average desktop user).

In some other communities it's not well-understood that it's not just about feature checkboxing. It's about shaping features in such a manner that they are trivial to use.

I do realize that to Apple-dislikers I am well under the spell of the reality distortion field ;).
You are correct. I updated it to this:

who_wins(well W) {
for each piece P {
for each landing state of piece P in well W {
well W2 = result
if(that_makes_a_line(W2)) {
next piece
}
if(who_wins(W2) == PLAYERWINS) {
next piece
}
}

// AI wins every landing state
return AIWINS
}

// Player wins every piece
return PLAYERWINS
}

print who_wins(empty_well)

The problem is that corporations are incredibly adept at finding and exploiting the kind of legal tax loopholes described in this article, and rapidly adjusting to any changes. It's a cat-and-mouse game where the tax collection agencies are always a few steps behind.

Individuals, even most very rich ones, are much less able to avoid taxes, so over time they are taxed more and more in order to collect any taxes at all.

The whole boxes-and-glue model reminds of TeX. Sure, constraint-based layout models are nothing new, but here we've got some specific similarities: line-based processing, optional arguments (H|V) in front, and especially priorities. Assigning priorities to different constraints is what allows TeX to degrade gracefully... before manifesting myriads of hard-to-trace bugs.
The problems I outline are with management of windows across spaces and displays; nothing in the post refers to issues with exposé or "finding" windows inside a given space.

Hm, if you don’t use Spaces (like me), Mission Control is, at least in my personal experience, just as competent as the old Exposé. I like that OS X no longer enforces a grid and that it proportionally resizes Windows (instead of making them all the same size).

I think I also like that windows of the same app are grouped together. One possible downside are the resulting overlapping windows, I think, though, it’s wroth the tradeoff.

I do not like that single app Exposé still forces apps on a grid and still forces them all to the same size. That said, I rarely use single app Exposé.

The new implementation of Spaces might actually be able to entice me to use them from time to time, so it seems like an improvement for me personally. The problems he is talking about are certainly serious and should be fixed.
I just thought it would be useful to point out, in a conversation about Mission Control, that if you don't like it, you can disable it.
Mission control is a perfectly comptent exposé. My beef is elsewhere.
Please don't give out advice like this. I'm really fed up with having to deprogramme people who've written too much jQuery and don't actually know JavaScript, or worse, barely realise that there is such a language.

I appreciate that your suggestion is to learn jQuery and then go through a language reference, not to stop once you've done the jQuery bit, but trust me, that's just what most people will do.

jQuery is a very opinionated library, which is fine in and of itself, but that makes it a terrible introduction to JavaScript, precisely because it "hides most of the ugliness of the language", as you put it.

To understand why this is a problem, consider the following points.

1) jQuery is not the only DOM library out there. Prototype, MooTools, Dojo and YUI are just some of them. To be a good front-end developer one should know at least a couple, and be able to learn any of them. The easiest way to learn them is to know the language and just learn a library, rather than learning a bunch of different DSLs with perhaps a few unifying themes.

2) JavaScript is now used on the server as well, and to write server-side JavaScript one really does need to know the language.

3) If one ever wants to write anything beyond hacky little scripts—a real web application, for example—then one cannot get away with just knowing jQuery. Large applications must be structured. The rats' nest of callbacks that many jQuery programmers seem to think is sufficient and even appropriate application design will not scale to large codebases. The key skill here is knowing what sort of structure needs to be introduced and being able to use both use libraries which provide the necessary abstraction and write one's own where necessary.
All valid complaints, I think. It sounds like Apple made some very poor decisions when they re-implemented Spaces.

I think their goal was valid (trying to make Spaces a feature everyone is able to use) and they went into the right direction, their attention to detail, though, was seriously lacking.
I'm afraid the game tree for W10xH5 is over 2 gigabytes and I'm pretty sure the number of possibilities increases faster than exponentially in H!
That's exactly the point -- I can't disable it, because then I'd lose spaces. If it wasn't clear from the initial post, I'm a fairly heavy user of spaces. :)

If I didn't care about spaces, I wouldn't have taken the time to write up a long post detailing how they are broken in MC. Broken spaces are bad, but no spaces are worse.

Main criteria for selecting the anti-aging products
The skin type is the main criteria for selecting these anti aging products. The dry skin needs different type of products while the oily skin has totally different requirements. The aging process occurs when the skin become dry and dehydrated due to lack of moisture and natural oils. These anti-aging products hydrate the skin and make it appear young. Anti-aging products are available for both men and women.

I also found that particular sentence really strange. "How to get C-like performance in java? Buy more servers!". Yeah, sure, but that approach will work for any language. With async you could handle even more connections with that larger amount of servers...
I think a better analogy then Jeol's is that a framework not only gives you a toolbox with plenty of good tools (not all of which you might need), but it also puts the frame for your house in place. That can restrict you in the kind of house you build, but it can also save you some time.

Oh my rant was not directed at Apple. OS X is the largest deployed unix client and brings a lot of stuff that powerusers used to normal consumers and making the leap from something like rsync -> time machine is very impressive.

It is just that people who use a computer for nothing more than generic stuff like browsing / word-processing feel this need to defend their OS choice (while potentially using the exact applications which they used on their previous platform) with articles like this. Soon ASLR will become "the killer feature" and Apple will be declared the first to invent it and the Linux/Win fanboys will be pissed.

This of course is the circle of life in the tech industry. One just needs to stand at a distance and enjoy.

You might want to check out ActualMultipleMonitors as well. It adds some features that I don't believe Ultramon has yet, such as the ability to have a completely functional taskbar on your secondary, complete with its own start button and notification area/clock/etc.

I didn't need this feature until I started running multiple 30''s, but now that I am it's invaluable.
Thats a very interesting observation, & one that I guess I've been aware of but have never articulated quite as well as that. Well done.

I think this falls into the category "As simple as possible, but not simpler". Doing abstraction right is a very hard thing indeed and requires the right training and education. None of the creators of the current frameworks have had those, and therefore their creations may be brilliant, but flawed. When an abstraction is done right, you won't feel any pressing need to go beyond it. When it is not done right, you are happy that at least it is "leaky", but calling this leakiness a feature just misses the point in the first place.

Ever since I switched from Ubuntu to OSX I've been missing how simple and useable Virtual Desktops are.

I used them all the time in Ubuntu, and I had a keyboard shortcut to move the currently active window to any adjacent virtual desktop (with loop around).

This was great when a context switch happened in a virtual desktop dedicated to project A. I would just realize I need to do this on a separate desktop, and use my shortcuts to fling to an empty one.

On OSX this involves clicking, dragging and aiming at the correct space, which completely stopped me from using spaces at all. I tried dedicated spaces for certain applications, but found that to be annoying when I want to run one of those apps in the context of my current space.

I was kinda hoping Lion would improve on this, but sadly it seems they went the opposite direction.

Brilliant. I always liked to see programming as a kind of Hermetic magic (you write incantations, and they do something for you). But I never went as far as to think about schools of magic.

I have one issue with your classification however: I can't see where I fit: first, I have little mana. Second, I find alteration magic extremely difficult. I simply cannot comprehend more than the smaller artefacts, especially when they have flaws, or when scrolls about them are scarce.

The USSM[1] web site compiler probably represents me best. I wanted to solve the following constraints: control over CSS and HTML, clean URLs, comments are optional. I looked around, heard about Jekill, read some scrolls, and then immediately thought "scrap that, I can do simpler". The current result is less than a 10 feet scroll (~350 lines), and I plan to shrink it further.

Overall, I am obsessed with systematically crafting the smallest artefact that could possibly work. I love the UNIX philosophy: it let me activate extremely powerful artefacts with very little mana of my own. More often than not, I only have to craft a small ring to bind them all to great effect. My ideal would be something like the STEPS project. And I don't know where it could possibly fit: it looks like powerful creation magic, only with next to no mana.

Today, the same conditions no longer apply. Pre-product startups with novice founders are getting $8 million pre-money valuations.

With all due respect, Chis. But, if you're looking at pre-product startups asking for a $8M pre, you're looking in the wrong places for startups.

Those valuations are the exception, not that rule. And, the problem with publishing those figures, is that entrepreneurs scratch their heads and wonder why they aren't getting those valuations.

Those valuations only happen for a handful of companies at the top of YC graduating classes, where investor appetite has been deliberately whipped into a frenzy.

There are plenty of other quality startups in the Valley with solid products and revenue that have to pitch 170 times to raise $1M: http://www.brendanbaker.co/2011/04/anatomyofseed/

Properly configured, the old Spaces was a passable replacement for virtual desktops, with some caveats.

I always had a 4-space, one-row layout. Wrap-around worked, but the animation was a bit confusing at first (it lets you move "right" past the last space, but the animation shows you moving three spaces to the left). I never used Spaces to move between spaces, keybindings and mouse gestures accomplished those. I only entered Spaces view when I wanted to move windows from one space to another.

If I had to use the mouse every time I wanted to change spaces, I'd stop using it too.

I personally only use OS X on my laptop, and here's what I had before Lion:

1. 3x3 Spaces grid
2. Each major application assigned to a space. Primary editors (vim, Textmate, etc.) in space 5 (center), others surrounding it.
3. Each application typically maximized to fill its space.
4. When I need to switch applications, command-tab between them.

This gave me each application with almost a full screen of space, isolated to itself, with little cognitive overhead. I don't need more than command-tab at this point to manage my workflow.

I installed Lion today. Now, I have a linear set of spaces, but some of the applications I was giving full-screen to can actually use the whole screen. Mail is one of them. Chrome's support is a bit buggy so I'm avoiding it for now.

I still command-tab between applications, and that works fine, giving me all the space I had before. It seems to me that Lion's replacement for spaces was designed for me: someone who assigns one space per major application and likes to have those applications full-screened. I can 4-finger swipe left/right between the spaces (I had to set 3-fingers for page swiping so I could keep using the trackpad for Chrome forward/back). That means I can't use 4-finger-swipe to pull up the command-tab switcher, but 3-finger-swipe-up brings up MC, which is close enough, now.

Just food for thought. If I had to deal with the multiple-screen issues OP mentioned, I'd probably go nuts, but I've only used a customized Ubuntu for such situations long-term. As a laptop user, MC seems designed for me almost to the T.
I thought most of the article was painful to read as it resurfaced the same set of stereotypes as in the Social Network movie or the Mezrich book.

I felt the did article make a valid point at the end - about the lack of elite university-based social networks in Canada. While having gone to Harvard (or another elite American school) makes you stand out in Canada, I didn't feel it gave people the same rolodex advantages as being in NYC. I have a sibling who went to a top ranked American school ... I had to stop wearing the t-shirt she gave me in NYC because people would stop me and start having conversations (assuming I went to school there)!

Caveat: I went to school in Canada so this is all from an outsider's perspective.
