Scrolling down this article is like walking through a gallery of how the world of consumer tech evolved since 1997.

I think the Microsoft partnership was a masterstroke. It lowered the barrier for switchers like me to come onboard. Interesting to see here that the scrumptious iMac was introduced less than a year later.
I agree that it is important that you keep your application small. However, using the application cache like the author suggests means that you will never have to download the specified content, like jQuery, again. Additionally, since you have 5MB of storage, I really don't think the 31KB of jQuery really matters.

I agree that client-side rendering is not optimal, but for different reasons. This isn't 2006 anymore, phones are more powerful now. Unless I absolutely have to, I'm not going to care about your Nokia from back in the Stone Age. My problem with client-side rendering is that it chokes on large data-sets. You also have to pay the penalty to download the dynamic content after you download the static content, but this can be mitigated by only updating the content, rather than using AJAX to load it all to begin with. That also kills the author's use of the plug-in that stores AJAX data locally, but that's a separate issue.

My advice:
Use jQuery, jQuery Mobile, and AppCache. When combined, jQuery and jQuery Mobile (including CSS) take up 58KB of space. Oh, and since you're storing it all locally from now on, there's no need to cry about the time (less than 1s on 3g) it takes to download all those fancy JS files.

Tom you should absolutely start with the niche keywords that you can dominate. Then from there I would move onto broader keywords but not too quickly. "make games" and "game creator" are way too broad. What kind of games? For what platforms? These phrases are sending out unfocused traffic. You want people who are already looking something like your product and thus will have better conversion rates from being more focused.

It looks like a rough SEO situation currently, with terms like 'make html5 games' only getting 590 searches a month. I definitely think using headers like this " visual HTML5 game development tool" which I found on your website - is a great start. This is specific, and explains the tech/platform and should actually get you a few longtail searches.

What I really learned a lot from recently is hearing a rumor that 50% of google searches are unique. That is mind-blowing because it means longtails have that much more importance. Even though it might not be trending right now, phrases like ' visual HTML5 game development tool' are going to be good for longtails.

Sorry, wish I could talk more but gotta run.

BTW, love the site.
I once had something I wrote on the front page... that was crazy. Remember how you would submit a post for editing first, and let the grammar geeks fix every little thing first? And you didn't just post a link to a blog post, you wrote the whole thing right there, on the site, the longer the better. I just looked for a link, but apparently my stories are too old, and are gone, and my last diary post was 2004. Anyone know where you can go to find that kind of community nowadays?

I'm not highly educated about this. But, it seems like they are assigning a lot of deep motives to people. Maybe he just didn't want to work for a big company any longer. He is obvious very entrepreneurial and vested in the startup community.

I don't like when articles assume so much about an individual's motivation.

First, laptops (and other computers) now come with a buttload of crapware pre-installed, because that's where the manufacturers are making their margins now. A good "optimization" for new computers is not at all a bad thing: remove the b.s. pre-installed software, create the recovery disks, make sure all updates are pre-installed. We do this, too.

Second, if you really don't trust a place enough to do this for you without doing something sneaky, then you really shouldn't be shopping there. It's not hard for them to open it up and re-shrink it, after all.

Third, if you're super paranoid about this kind of thing, order direct from the manufacturer. Dell, especially, is really good at this.

This is a tempest in a teapot. And, I don't even like Best Buy / Geek Squad, so have no ulterior motive defending them.

NFL's Tampa Bay Buccaneers give iPad 2s to players
Have read the article, and read through all 97 comments that had been left here as of the time of this posting. And this comes back to something I know has been discussed at least a few times before. Essentially that many good sites started with a high Signal to Noise ratio. Then more folks found out about them, and they added more signal, but variety started to creep in, and what is signal to me may be noise to you, and vice versa. Which means that there may actually be MORE signal to noise now, but for the average user/reader there appears to be less because the signal they are interested in is diluted.

There have been a number of answers to this, and each of them can be found to have evolved essentially from UseNet News and various simple BBS and/or FidoNet BBS programs. Not a one of them is perfect (obviously or the discussion would be unnecessary).

I "personally" think the best answer is to have a site where the "main" board is run by a benevolent dictator, who also has to monitor other boards off the main board but has no similar moderation on those boards. Allows the main board to develop a personality that you can rely on, while insuring that differing views get their day in the sun, and allow for the growth of new moderators over time.

I used to run a C64 BBS and wrote and ran an Amiga BBS, and so have at least some experience to validate my opinion. I suppose if I'm serious about this being the answer I should be willing to set such a place up and see if people would actually like it. One person below mentioned a Metafilter $5 to "subscribe" to post model, but I'm not sure how that would work as a long term model - though I suspect I would prefer that to having something overrun with ads.

Anyway, there's my .02 cents. <- Actually that might be an answer worth looking into too. The postal service once looked at offering e-stamps to give you guaranteed delivery and some level of authentication per message. Perhaps if folks had to pay for each post (even nominally) that would be another option. For your consideration...
Like the others have said if you are really good at it you can make a very good living. A lot of the very successful SEO's aren't the ones speaking at conferences all the time or writing books, why? Because they are busy actually doing SEO or aren't they type that need public recognition to be happy. Just like in anything else you need to be at the top to make good money. In my case I only work with companies in a consulting role instead of doing affiliate marketing because I get more satisfaction in working with other people and being part of their success.

Being close to any "VIP" type executive, politician, etc is often awkward.

I had the bad fortune of being in an environment where I found myself in the sights of a psychotic, two-bit political appointee from time to time. Not fun.
Those people just have really tender feelings and can't handle the truth.

This is perhaps unnecessarily blunt :-)

I agree that bluntness is not automatically rude. Indeed, to me, the whole purpose of using the word "blunt" in this way is to draw an important distinction between outright rudeness and behavior that risks being insensitive but does so for a constructive purpose.

Nonetheless, I think some confusion about the meaning of the word is understandable.

I Can't Talk to Chuck
Throwaway account for obvious reasons. I am the cofounder of a start-up that is just starting to gain quite a bit of momentum–all the hard work is finally starting to pay off. Our business involves sending payments via check to people, and we use Schwab to handle that side of the business.
This morning, I opened the bank account as usual to check the balance, only to get with this message: 'This account is now closed. If you feel this account was closed in error, please contact customer service at 800-435-4000.' We have tens of thousands of dollars of checks outstanding (this is usual), and an account closure would mean that anyone trying to cash a check would get a message saying the check had bounced along with a 'check bounced fee'.

To minimize the damage, I immediately got on the phone and started talking with someone (person #1); she put me on hold for half an hour, and I finally got to talk to (person #2). Person #2 was nice, but told me she couldn't do anything to help me, except forward me to the Client Advocacy Department. That's where things went sour.

The man (person #3) I talked to in the Client Advocacy Department was extremely rude. Finally, I asked him a question, to which he replied, "Well, your account is closed!" and straight-up laughed at me. I said "Is there someone I could speak with will try to help me instead of laughing at me?" He said "No, there isn't."
At that point, I decided to visit my local Schwab–it's right up the street. I got the same story–we can't reopen your account or tell you why it was closed or help you in any way. The best we can do is give you a lump-sum check for the value. Finally, person #3's manager called me–supposedly the highest-level person in Schwab you can talk to. He was extremely rude–even just remaining silent for long periods of time when I was done talking.

Anyway, the rudeness/bad customer service is okay, because that's the first time I've experienced it. What's not okay is that this move on the part of Schwab to unilaterally shut down the account without reason (no one will tell me) is ultimately going to destroy our start-up (and any traction it has along with it) as well as make it hard for thousands of people to get money that is theirs.
So, HNers, what can I do? I'm extremely frustrated, and I feel like I'm out of options.
It must be hard to get through life without a sense of humor.
Of course they do. I do too: If I'm on the left side of the road, and a car wants to get by me, I'll get out of their way so they can drive past me in excess of the speed limit. No big deal, and no one gets hurt.
I can tell you I'm excited about the new indexes...this weekend I'm going to restore our production database into a local 2.0 instance and see what type of memory savings, if any, we get (since I'm cheap and ram is my biggest issue) (it won't be as easy for me to measure the possible improvement in performance mentioned).

I think people just lost interest, mixture of the community losing interest and the founder losing interest. The rise of blogs didn't help, I don't think: many of the people who in 1999-2004 would've written an article to submit to Kuro5hin would today prefer to post it on their own blog and just submit links to places like HN/Reddit. That has the advantage of letting you "own" your writing, to build a personal brand, perhaps monetize it, etc.; but it does result imo in a bit less of a community aspect.
How many here who live in the states still torrent copyrighted material?

The Internet is an awesome thing but it's killed and killing a lot of industries and jobs. Jobs as Jeff Jarvis has pointed out (http://bit.ly/prM2gN) will not be replaced, rather they are gone forever. From the newspaper industry chain, to the hundreds of thousands of jobs to be lost in the postal service soon, the annihilated music business and soon the cable TV and retail industries.

Millions of jobs are lost and going to be lost. Thus I wonder if you still download torrents in the US how do you justify doing so? Also how old are you?
I can relate to this guy. About month back I noticed that one of my servers (VPS at HostV) had dropped and hadn't come back for a week. It's used for dev stuff and acts mainly as storage for repo archives. Long story short, HostV had suffered some sort of file system problem, all my files were gone and they didn't even bother to send me an email. I can live without the files and shit happens but not emailing the customer, that's just idiotic.
Yeah, but most of us who grew up and started using MacBooks still run Linux on our servers, we still that bit of /. inside us :)

"very modest sales” of the Revue were exceeded by returns of the product, CEO Gerald P. Quindlen is leaving and the Revue itself is being slashed below cost to just $99 — a move that’s costing Logitech some $34m in one-time charges. "

I'd wager that it's toast.
"Calculators make fractions obsolete."

This is just nonsense. the digits after the dot are just fractions in powers of 10 and they are much less useful if you actually need to do something in real life with your result, like cutting pie to use a classic in fractions.
Why are you convinced that this was a "bail out"? Why is it unsavory if Google thought that the team and its expertise was worth $200M? Google clearly was trying to get into social at the time, and this team did have a lot of interesting ideas in that space. Plus it seems that most of them are sticking around.

You seem to be attaching a lot of motivation behind the acquisition that I haven't seen elsewhere.
Francis Ford Coppola:

Q: How does an aspiring artist bridge the gap between distribution and commerce?

A: We have to be very clever about those things. You have to remember that it's only a few hundred years, if that much, that artists are working with money. Artists never got money. Artists had a patron, either the leader of the state or the duke of Weimar or somewhere, or the church, the pope. Or they had another job. I have another job. I make films. No one tells me what to do. But I make the money in the wine industry. You work another job and get up at five in the morning and write your script.
This idea of Metallica or some rock n' roll singer being rich, that's not necessarily going to happen anymore. Because, as we enter into a new age, maybe art will be free. Maybe the students are right. They should be able to download music and movies. I'm going to be shot for saying this. But who said art has to cost money? And therefore, who says artists have to make money?

In the old days, 200 years ago, if you were a composer, the only way you could make money was to travel with the orchestra and be the conductor, because then you'd be paid as a musician. There was no recording. There were no record royalties. So I would say, "Try to disconnect the idea of cinema with the idea of making a living and money." Because there are ways around it.

I agree, this depends so much on what type of hosting you are looking for. When it comes to shared and VPSes, HTML table is way to go. But when it comes to moving servers worth of $500000 to your datacenter, then I really expect that the company has some employees who I can talk to and negotiate the price.

I've been hoping for this since I first used Heroku for Rails/Sinatra apps. I feel that with this change, Heroku is really getting serious about their offering (not that they weren't already).

But as someone who's worked on enterprisey stuff, the thought of push-button Spring deployment makes me giddy with glee.

Jobs failed multiple times early in his career!

1980: Apple III released, bombs and is killed in 1984

1982: Jobs is kicked out of the Lisa Project, joins the Macintosh project

1984: Mac released. It is overpriced and has tepid sales.

1985: Kicked out of Apple

1989: First NeXT cubes released. They are overpriced and see slow sales

1991: NeXTStation released. NeXT still has tepid sales.

1993: NeXT hardware cancelled, OS ported to multiple other platforms with little success. Only the Intel port survives. Releases OpenStep for Windows.

1996: NeXT is bought by Apple.

For over a decade he had a string of public failures to match every success.

Nowadays Apple hits home run after home run and disrupts multiple industries. Imagine how much he learned from each failure.

I wouldn't say security is impossible, but it isn't worth the time and effort some companies put into it.

For example, Apple could stop putting 30 pin connectors on the iPhone, replacing it with only a power port to charge the device, then sandbox the rest of their apps on the phone (currently every jailbreak involving a vulnerability had to do with the fact that Apple doesn't sandbox their own applications like they do with third party applications.)

Of course you could argue that you could take the device apart and hook up leads to the circuitry in an attempt to flash the device, but you're going to stop over 99.9% of the jail breaking community from jail breaking their devices.
