There are the big keywords I found like "make games" and "game creator" but they seem a bit overwhelming, we've tried to attack them but progress is slow. Most search traffic comes at the moment from people searching for our company/product name (this is good because it shows increasing brand awareness) but it's ultimately not targeting new audiences who wouldn't of found us anyway.

I'm wondering if it's better to identify far less popular searches and use that as a foundation when we get good rankings on that

Apple - Press Info - Letter from Steve Jobs
I would suspect as much, but given the wide array of technologies that they lump into tha one line, nevermind the requirement to be skilled in IT infrastructure, e-commerce, 4-5 yrs in web development, CMS maintenence, and production of content for the web...It seems as likely they would expect someone who is competent in all of that to have worked at least a dozen years in the business
If you don't enforce your patents there isn't much point to having a patent.

It has less to do with sales. The whole patent suit situation is systemic to the patent system. That and Apple tends to get into the news often it becomes "newsworthy" enough to report.

From the site: "It gives us great pleasure to finally announce the release of batman.js to the JavaScript community today. This release represents the first code dump of something we’ve been working hard on at Shopify for a long time, so we’re very excited to get it into your hands and see what you do with it."

I got zero value out of this lead.

When you launch a product like this, please tell us why we'd want to use this. As developers, we don't have a bunch of time to parse your project notes. "It's like XXX, but offers these advantages..." At this moment, I don't know what batman.js is actually useful for!
Not tomorrow, that's for sure.

Every half-witted investor is already lining up to buy AAPL shares that will of course drop tomorrow in price as quarter-witted investors will be dumping them because of the Jobs' news. This will ramp up the demand and not let the price slide.
None of those three are anything like Edison, who was an inventor and shrewd businessman. Jobs is way closer to the mark in my opinion.

Yep, while I love and use apple products, I'll drop them like a rock like I dropped Windows for Linux in 1999-2000 if things get too bad with them.

What I find annoying with the patent situation is the fact that people seem to think this is something new with Apple for example. If they would compare the situation with other businesses they would note that patent suits are really common. Just on design patents alone car companies make the computer industry look like a kiddy playbox. The major auto manufacturers seem to love suing for the most basic of similarities. Which might explain why almost all cars are universally ugly in some way. But I digress.
I just think of it like

In the short-term, I'm confident that they can function well absent their leader. Long-term may be a different story. I don't think the company will "follow" Cook the way they follow Jobs.

In order to lead like Jobs, Cook will have to make some very bold decisions. The first time one of those fizzles, the resulting fear will be much greater than it would have been, had Jobs been at the helm. Should he have a streak of fizzles, watch out.

Apple has a very bumpy ride ahead, I do believe. I really hope they do well, though, because I enjoy their products.

If he looks back on his company career, he will definitely feel satisfied. 4 products (mac, iPhone, iPod, iPad) that not only changed the world but also became multi-billion dollar businesses. Not to mention countless other products (iTunes, App Store, Safari, Final Cut Pro, Apple ][ etc. :)

great stuff. Like Steve on Startups:

“The problem with the Internet startup craze isn’t that too many people are starting companies; it’s that too many people aren’t sticking with it. That’s somewhat understandable, because there are many moments that are filled with despair and agony, when you have to fire people and cancel things and deal with very difficult situations. That’s when you find out who you are and what your values are.

“So when these people sell out, even though they get fabulously rich, they’re gypping themselves out of one of the potentially most rewarding experiences of their unfolding lives. Without it, they may never know their values or how to keep their newfound wealth in perspective.” [Fortune, Jan. 24, 2000]
Tim Cook: The genius behind Steve
Your CS major is like learning the scales, progression of chords, elements of harmony, etc. Some of the subjects may not appear relevant, but they form the foundations for the future. The best employers will not hire candidates without suitable qualifications AND suitable experience.

On a slightly different note (ha ha) have you looked at LiveCoding and other real-time fusion of programming and musical performance?
I think he is far greater than a Ray Kroc. Jobs' vision has really shaped modern technology for the consumer more than anyone else. One could easily argue that the vision is far more than anything else. As is said, imagination is more important than knowledge.
First sentence:

If you are a designer like me, you must be asked on a regular basis to “make it look pretty.”

I thought this article was for engineers?
Just two sentences after that, it lists exactly what it offers. One click away is the homepage which has much more detail. Are you seriously _so busy_ that you can't read a couple of lines more? And if you really are, please do practice skimming!
Codecademy Is The New Interactive Way To Learn How To Code
Edison actually took credit for many inventions created by people who worked for him.
This article misses the point. The copyright infringement suit has nothing to do with interactivity. Apple has designed a rectangular thin device with a screen and rounded edges, and is claiming it is an original design. Original enough to get a design patent. Samsung is saying that the design can't be that original, because a 'similar' design was built prior to the existence of the ipad.
That's very sad. As a consumer, if I google "cheap <drug>" and somebody outside the US is willing to sell me <drug> at a lower cost and/or with fewer bureaucratic hoops to jump through than a local provider, that is exactly what I want and expect to see featured in the Google Ads that get served up. Google was providing the public good of regulatory arbitrage - connecting willing buyers with willing sellers.

It's a shame Google had to knuckle under.

He was the biggest public figure behind Apple, though as an Ind. Design student I'll be just as bummed when Johnny Ive steps down. I hope Steve still shows up at the annual Apple Christmas con's, he's such a great presenter.
The other half is more like:
"Do the iPod, do the iPhone, do the iPad, do the next great thing Apple can do execute well", but
"Don't do the PDA, Don't do the netbook, Don't do the seemingly "next" thing."

The Don't do's are as important, as difficult to foresee, and as difficult to hold the urge to execute as the Do's. This is one of the key talents of Jobs that is not recognized as much as it should.

Is it really necessary to downvote? Do you disagree with my comment? Good. State your opinion. Differences of opinions should not be expressed with the mechanism of a downvote; this isn't Reddit.
Promise.

Good question. I think the engineering discipline part is much harder. I'm not sure that is because the problems really are harder: messier, ill-defined, changing over time; or whether it is that the academic community has focused on more well-defined formal/fundamental questions and mostly nailed them, so what we're left with is the harder messier stuff. Certainly it is easier for me to find someone to hire fresh out of college who has excellent CS fundamentals than to find someone with strong engineering discipline. And while my title included "Research", we all work very closely with Engineering.

As cancer survivors tend to say, the only way you know if you've beaten cancer is when you die of something else.
No, most say that they want to spend more time with family.

"Could no longer meet my duties" + pancreatic cancer = a strong chance that the doctors gave him a number of how long he had left to live, and it wasn't it years.

Jersey Shore Season 4 Episode 4 | Television News Update
Every 10 years, people say that PC gaming is going to be dead in 5 years. Every 5 years, it's bigger than it was before.

PC gaming will never die, it'll just keep changing form. Right now we're seeing it shift to the web, to tablets, etc.
Maybe buy some long calls.
Steve Jobs along with Bill Gates and others define the personal computing era. I grew up seeing these people trail-blazed and built up the technology world we know today. It's sad to see Jobs is stepping down, most likely due to health reason. It's like the representation of our computing generation is fading away.

I don't know why but the dialogue from Blade Runner suddenly comes to mind, "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain..."
Apple already did this, back in 10.4, with Core Image. It will be added to iOS whenever iOS 5 is out.

"Nike makes some of the best products in the world. Products that you lust after. But you also make a lot of crap. Just get rid of the crappy stuff and focus on the good stuff."

In my area, GameStop is the only place that has a wide selection of used games on the cheap. Some times its nice to blow $100 on video games and end up with 5 titles rather 2.

I will admit I would never buy a new game from GameStop. One time when I wanted to purchase PES 2011 they tried to sell me a brand new game with the packaging teared off. This disturbed me quite a bit. When I tried to explain to the manager it was the same thing as a used game to me at that point he didn't accept my argument. I bet they do this more than it gets reported.
His answer the 1996 interview question with Wired about technology revolutionizing our lives definitely seems at odds with what we've listened to him tout about such things as the iPad.

All armchair commentators would do well to consider this one:

Q: There’s a lot of symbolism to your return. Is that going to be enough to reinvigorate the company with a sense of magic?

“You’re missing it. This is not a one-man show. What’s reinvigorating this company is two things: One, there’s a lot of really talented people in this company who listened to the world tell them they were losers for a couple of years, and some of them were on the verge of starting to believe it themselves. But they’re not losers. What they didn’t have was a good set of coaches, a good plan. A good senior management team. But they have that now.” [BusinessWeek, May 25, 1998]
I believe the first time Jobs "left", it was due to management thinking they knew better.

This time around, I'm hoping management was taking notes while Jobs was there.
I'm sad too. He is a once-an-epoch leader. Think what the world would be like without him. Amazing that a business leader can be so important and foundational to the world.
I love that perhaps his most insightful and quote-able interview ever was to Playboy in 1985.
It will have to change. There's a certain amount of "Steveness" that just can't be learned or absorbed.

I expect Apple's aggressiveness, not to lessen, but to even out a bit.

“The problem with the Internet startup craze isn’t that too many people are starting companies; it’s that too many people aren’t sticking with it.

You are probably right that such an approach is better at teaching students to be able to crank out solutions to problems, but I think it also reinforces the attitude a lot of students have that math is just a bunch of arbitrary rules that don't mean anything, and is therefore a waste of time. For students that aren't destined to be math majors, the most important aspect of math is being able to map real-world concepts to abstract rules. Being able to mechanically manipulate those rules is far secondary, especially with easy access to computers.

The subtext is that you should learn CoffeeScript. It's an alternative syntax, not a new language.

They wrote you a nice library and are giving it away under an MIT license. You don't get to pick the style they use to write the examples. That's like going to a science lecture and walking up to the speaker afterwards to say, "Hey, I think you have some great theories, but you really should lose that Australian accent of yours. Most scientists aren't from Australia, you know."
Resigned
To be honest, I have their business service at home to avoid trouble when I'm running VPN servers, etc. and the occasional Web service from home -- not to mention the usage cap issue.

And it's nice to know that they're up to 35 mbits upload (much faster than what I have), but their hardware is capable of much more (assuming it's on par with Google Fiber's).
They are still keeping the API docs though, and hopefully they will be able to re-allocate resources from managing the forum to keeping the API docs up to date.
"#if 0" is not how you declare comments in C. If you want your dead code to show up as a comment, try M-x comment-region. It adds /* */ around each line, being careful to ensure the ability to reverse the operation. I know vim doesn't have good commenting functionality in the core, so this is probably a common vim user idiom. But it's still not correct.
Then the dumb asses are going to lose their shorts. (And really, I wrote that with no pun intended, I swear).
That's what I thought, but I took that screenshot from lion.
Competing with Steam is more a relationship challenge than a technical one, and of all companies GameStop is well placed with those existing relationships.

I think the PC gaming market's relationship with GameStop can be described as "disgusted." Lots of PC gamers dislike GameStop (rockpapershotgun.com and pcgamer.com and their forums as prime examples of how people feel about them). Exclusive pre-order bonuses, cruddy behavior like this, ect.
My broad point was that in watching hundreds of projects launch via H!News -- that in this Facebook era, all of us are having less tolerance for doing the skimming you mention. When you are fortunate enough to make it to front-page of H!News -- make it count.
That's a nice sentiment, but I think Steve Jobs has already done more than enough to establish himself as the Greatest Business Leader of All Time. No hyperbole, I mean that quite literally and seriously.
>It's an alternative syntax

Right... "alternative"... so makes sense to not give examples entirely in it unless your framework is intended solely for Coffeescript users.

Smart phones existed before the iPhone; Apple/Jobs just made them orders of magnitude better. Tablets have existed before the iPad; Apple/Jobs just made the first one the market fell in love with.

What new markets have they created?

Now, don't get me wrong... I love Apple. I have a Mac and an iPhone and Cinema displays. I'm jealous of my friends with iPads. Etc. I just don't see any brand new markets.
Because they dont care.
If the stockmarket would be everything to them they would do so.
But Apple is sitting on so much liquidity that they dont go crazy if there stock drops by 5%.

And the company is in a perfect shape there is nothing wrong with it the same goes for the future.
