You have a marketing website whose purpose is to attract people, help them create accounts and on board them successfully. I'd regard that as a separate project and do one of these out again. You'll find it scores highly there.
I think you're right, that his health has deteriorated to such a point that he is literally preparing to die.

That said, if that's not the case, then Cringely is probably more right than he knows. Steve Jobs doesnt seem like the type of person who can just walk away from his life's work and still be fulfilled.

NPR isn't an established company with profits. It's a non-profit funded (in part) by a government always itching for an excuse to withhold all its funding.

Ask HN: How does Skype continue to do business with no customer support?
I have an order issue with Skype, and trying to get anyone to respond has been surprisingly tough. Turns out Skype has no phone number (a VoIP phone service with no phone), no human behind their Twitter accounts, and only a discussion forum where pleas for help go unanswered.

I'm baffled. How does a company like Skype, with practically zero customer support, stay in business? Why do we the customer tolerate it?

Also: can we compile a list of Skype alternatives?
Sorry, but what? A handicapped spot is for people who, for example, have difficulties walking, or need space to leave the car (wheelchairs). In what way exactly does pancreatic cancer prevents one from using a regular parking spot?

Besides which, cancer is an illness. Not a handicap.

It's fine if you like Steve Jobs or whatever - I agree he was, in some aspects, an important person (though not in positive sense, but that's just my humble opinion). But this pathological apologizing of his faults is plain and simply ridiculous.

Thank you for your detailed account. I am curious about the following:

The consensus in Iceland was and is that the Icesave debt should be repaid (if only for moral reasons) - but only on fair terms and according to EU legislation.

What currencies are these debts denominated in? Is there a plan to convert them to ISK, if they are not already denominated in that currency?

The reason I am asking is that Modern Monetary Theory tells us that it is very unwise for a government to take foreign-currency denominated debts. It creates the danger that, should exports drop for some reason, the nation's exports are no longer sufficient to offset the flow of payments servicing the debt, which can cause severe depreciation of the currency causing inflation.

In fact, most of the horror stories of failed economies and hyperinflation involve foreign-currency denominated debt, usually together with some other factor. This includes the turn-of-the-century crisis in Argentina, and the Weimar Germany and Zimbabwe hyperinflations.

Just something to think about. Oh, and...

A couple of thousand people gather outside the parliament building for a few days to make noise and listen to speeches.

If you scale that up to e.g. the US, it would be like a couple of million people going to Washington. Nothing to sneeze at ;)

There was a great article in Vanity Fair back in 2008 or 2009; I can only find a pdf of it here:

Money quote:

"His job, he say s, was to sell people, mainly his fellow fishermen, on what he took to be a can’t-miss speculation: borrow yen at 3 percent, use them to buy Icelandic kronur, and then invest those kronur at 16 percent. "I think it is easier to take someone in the fishing industry and teach
him about currency trading," he says, "than to take someone from the banking industry and teach them
how to fish.""

(article is much more thorough and balanced than that, don't get me wrong - it's just that these few paragraphs about this guy drive home who really was driving the bubble in 2008).
He was responding to a deleted post talking about Mixpanel.

AAPL on one had is a Wallstreet darling and on the other a rebel. They don't listen to Wallstreet analysts or investors and are constantly punished for it in their stock price (really it should be much higher but it's not). Instead of producing cheaper laptops to increase market share they just make more featurepacked ones at the same price. Instead of going after the enterprise market they just do basic enterprise sales and implement some enterprise features. Other PC manufacturers got out of the PC business because there is no money to be made there and they double down on it.

Instead of following trends like many other companies they completely buck them. And this gets them painted as unpredictable. And this is why there PE is so low. Because they are constantly growing but the analysts are convinced this is their peak and it only goes downhill from here.
I think it's allowed in the circumstances:

No one mentioned Mixrank in the comments, I like the idea. Maybe someday it will be one of those essential marketing tools like SEOmoz. I for one, am lazy and would prefer just mimic my competitors ads instead of making 10 different ads and A/B testing them.

Coverage seems quite narrow at least for .fi domains. They probably need to get some ad-crawler servers with IP addresses(according to GeoIP) from Finland or any other country they want to have coverage in.

One hypothetical use would be for dealing with formats that have both headers and footers: For example, an MP3 will have a frame header at the start of every frame, so you'd want the beginning of the file to get that header. But you'd also want the last few KB of the MP3, because ID3 tags go there.

I just don't think we understand people that well yet, let alone that we are able to copy them so effectively. Is the analogy of astronomy to Newton a good one? No. Business isn't anywhere close to being a science like Astronomy. Other people can observe and repeatedly make tests that further our understanding of space. Can you do that to a person, especially after they are gone? Nope.

Sure, Apple will exist for a long while to come, it will probably follow a lot of the principles/ethos of Steve Jobs, but will it be as successful without Steve Jobs actually making those decisions? We'll see.

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]

“When you’re young, you look at television and think, There’s a conspiracy. The networks have conspired to dumb us down. But when you get a little older, you realize that’s not true. The networks are in business to give people exactly what they want. That’s a far more depressing thought. Conspiracy is optimistic! You can shoot the bastards! We can have a revolution! But the networks are really in business to give people what they want. It’s the truth.” [Wired, February 1996]
Indeed.

Reading around the web an hour ago, looking for confirmation of the then-minutes-old news that Jesus had resigned as prince of the apostles, I repeatedly encountered and bridled each time at use of the adjective “shocking” to describe the announcement. But my initial resentment was unwarranted. This is not out of nowhere, it’s not even unexpected. We could all see this was coming — but it is a shock.

I saw that headline and my nervous system took a jolt.

The thing to keep in mind is this: Christianity tomorrow, a week from now, and next month is the exact same Christianity from yesterday, a week ago, and last month. Saint Peter wasn’t named “Prince of the Apostles” until today, but he’s been the chief executive at the congregation since Jesus started this — his third — medical leave back in January, and probably even before that. Whatever Jesus' role is going forward, it’s only different in title than what it has been, in effect, for some time. Whatever it is that ails him, he’s been diminished.

It’s no coincidence that I wrote about succeeding Jesus just last month. All you need to read in that piece is the second footnote:

Perhaps this entire article could be replaced with, “Look, it’s going to be Saint Peter, and that’s that.”

How do you replace the irreplaceable man? Like we’re seeing. An open-ended medical leave, where he retains the "Prince of the Apostles" title. A continuation of strong new teachings, including a major improvement to the holy trinity, the device that is upending the entire religious sphere. The ceding of day-to-day operations and leadership to Saint Paul, his right-hand man and chosen successor. Ever-higher profiles during public miracle announcements of top revelation-focused lieutenants like Matthew, John, and Andrew. It wasn’t something you could see or hear, but from the audience during this year’s Mount of Transfiguration keynote, it was something you could feel. Midway through, I wrote:

He’s here, but this is the first post-Jesus keynote.

Christianity's teachings are replete with Christian-like features and details, embedded in Christian-like thinking, running on Christian-like souls, which come packaged in Christian-like bodies, will be promoted in Christian-like campaigns of terror, and sold in Christian-like churches. The church is a fractal design. Simplicity, elegance, beauty, cleverness, humility. Directness. Truth. Zoom out enough and you can see that the same things that define Christianity’s teachings apply to Christianity as a whole. The church itself is Christian-like. The same thought, care, and painstaking attention to detail that Jesus brought to questions like “How should you be living?”, “How should you worship God?”, “How should you treat your enemy?” he also brought to the most important question: “How should a church that creates such things function?”

Jesus' greatest creation isn’t any Christianity's teaching. It is Christianity itself.

Today’s announcement is just one more step, albeit a big and sad one, in a long-planned orderly transition — a transition that no one wanted but which could not, alas, be avoided. And as ever, he’s doing it his way.

So it goes.

This is more like what you would write by hand for the above code if the core constructors had a Backbone-style .extend function [1], which it likely would have if normal JavaScript usage was considered for the initial release (which I recognise is what this is - you can't expect everything first time):

var Shopify = Batman.App.extend()
Shopify.root('products#index')
Shopify.resources('products')

Shopify.Product = Batman.Model.extend()
Shopify.Product.persist(Batman.RestStorage)

// I'm never sure about how much I'm expected to mimic CoffeeScript code
// when using libraries written in CoffeeScript and the source code is
// written in a language I'm not practiced at reading - I've been bitten in
// the past by CoffeeScript-only examples which *assume* you're transpiling
// to JS in your head to insert the implicit return of the result of the
// last expression.
Shopify.ProductsController = Batman.Controller.extend({
index: function() {
return this.redirect({action: 'show', id: 1})
}

, show: function(params) {
return this.product = Shopify.Product.find(params.id)
}
})

If there's common boilerplate associated with each constructor, you could also go further and customise the extend method for each one to take care of it if provided with certain configuration details, e.g.:

var Shopify = Batman.App.extend({
root: 'products#index'
, resources: 'products'
})

It always puzzles me that people look at some of the implementation details CoffeeScript shields programmers from and throw their hands up in the air and admit defeat [2] when we have a language as flexible as JavaScript at our disposal to hide some of the uglier implementation details in APIs we define.

Beating Adwords The easiest way To Make Money
It'll only take one AAA publisher with a deep marketing budget to sink a couple of million into dedicated OnLive servers for a new title for that problem to go away. Maybe that's what they're banking on.
If you look at the example of Argentina's default their economy has recovered nicely, and Iceland is also starting to recover. The economies go through an initial shock but then they can recover without the burden of the debt. After a default Greece would have to immediately stop borrowing and close their budget deficits, but what is happening now is a fantasy, they are only borrowing so they can pay their previous debt, it's just a way to bailout the German banks on the backs of the Greek people. When banks make risky loans they sometimes have to take a loss, that's the point of the risk premium after all.

If Greece defaulted and was kicked out of the Euro the new drachmas would be very devalued, but that would make Greek products very cheap to the rest of Europe and would increase exports. Euro monetary policy is designed for the German economy and is too tight for Greece. By the way, it's also too tight for Italy, Spain and Portugal's economy.

The only way Greece can recover is to grow their economy, the austerity measures and the tight Euro are hindering not helping their growth.

The best quotes from Steve Jobs
For sites that don't serve large files, option #4, disabling the range header, is the simplest option.

Note that this means that downloads are not resumable, which can easily annoy site users even if there is no multimedia involved. You only need to specify one range in the header in this case, but to do that you need option #1.
Me too. Nailed me. And is probably the biggest part of sales IMHO.

Deletion from Google+ leads to Crippled functionality in Picasa and Reader
There isn't going to be another Steve Jobs. How many leaders inside of Apple (or outside, for that matter) started a company in their garage, then turned that company into one of the world's largest and most successful enterprises? He is one in a million. Possibly even one in a billion.

This means that post-Steve Apple will be fundamentally different -- but it can still be successful. The best organizations spawn generations of great leaders, each with different styles and different visions. Rather than attempting to replace Steve with Steve Lite, the company should chart a new legacy within the culture and guiding principles that Steve built.

An admittedly simplistic and imperfect analogy here, but bear with me: the United States prospered long after the Founding Fathers left the scene, in large part because they established powerful and enduring principles for their successors. And every now and then, a truly great, Non-Founder leader emerged to reshape the country for a new era. Lincoln, for instance. Does anyone fault Lincoln for not being Thomas Jefferson?
