I don't think that marriage in USA is biased against anyone. But the divorce is HEAVILY biased agains men. For example, more than 70% of divorces are initiated by women, while they also get the custody of the children 90% of the time.

When it comes for child support, it's even worse. If in a family the husband begins to get a lower salary due to the state of the economy, then everybody should/will spend less. But if a divorced father gets a lower salary, "the child's standard of living must not change".
Did you earn $200,000 per year pre-divorce, and now you barely can find work for $50,000? Too bad for you, you'll have to get an extra job to be able to pay the same amount of child support. If you fail to pay, you get to jail, but the support payments accumulate, so when you get out you'll be in even more debt, which will land you back in jail, and so on. And of course, this whole time, you will be considered a "deadbeat dad".

BTW, I was shocked to find out that, in some states, men* have to pay lifetime alimony. With all due respect, guys who get married on these terms are insane.
If you have a computer that is good enough to develop software on, you can figure out a way. Windows will run on almost any box that a Linux or Mac box runs on. Microsoft rightly believes that everyone who has a machine to develop software can figure out how to get a machine that runs Windows and Visual studio. If your too poor to buy the software you'll pirate it, and they can't squeeze blood from a stone anyway.
It totally clicked when I saw your example, thanks!

Its similar to Chrome's profile switcher. But Chrome profiles lets users have separate bookmarks, extensions, etc.

Browsr's aliases are entirely separate identities. You can use fake names, addresses etc and provide these data to web services if you choose.

For example, for websites integrate "Browsr Connect", users can visit them for the first time and can be automatically sign-in without ever needing to register. The web service can automatically request information (like name, address, gender etc.) and Browsr provides these based on the alias selected by the user.

So Chrome profiles are basically for multiple users using the same browser, but Browsr is for the same user using multiple identities on the internet.

But guess what, they are trying to convert non-Windows developers.

Fortunately, the mass majority of programmers in the world program in and/or on Windows. When MS is inviting programmers on their WP7 platform, you can safely assume they don't mean you.

The Apple/Microsoft development scenario is equal. XCode is free, Visual Studio Express is free. You don't really need an MSDN subscription at all.

And this just shows how amazing Microsoft's developer support and outreach really is. As long as you give them money, they support you.

And this is why MS releases great dev tools, resources, documents, blogs, etc for free? They're offering a 2 day intensive WP7 programming e-course next week. Cost? Free.

If you don't run Windows, they don't really care about you.

Of course not. Does Apple care about you if you aren't using a Mac or an iPad? No. Does the Ubuntu team care about you if you're not using Ubuntu? Of course not.

it's not like WP7 is gaining much support from manufacturers, or market share.

Aside from Acer, Dell, Nokia, HTC, Samsung, Huwei, etc?

You're right about market share, but they've been at it less than a year with an OS with a rather mediocre feature set. Let's see how things are another year from now with Mango and beyond. Android took a while to kick in, too.
I have to ask again. You go off and troll every. single. Microsoft thread, but you claim to shun and abhor them.

So why are you here trolling up discussions?
It is an unrelated topic.
They already said they would continue to support current devices and continue to work on webOS.
Where are you pulling that data from? The Article makes no mention of average marrying age for Indians. Anecdotally,as a middle class Indian - I see average marrying age for Males around 27-30 and for females 25-28.

And again, Indian values are quite different from Japanese, Chinese or Thai values.
Let me clarify- you are saying that children are unrelated to marriage?
Hit a donut ~ journalism and IR cooperation
Years ago, I read an article (probably on HN) that advocated using "she" as a pronoun. The article itself was slightly sexist, reasoning that women will complain about gender equality when writers use "he" to refer to the reader, but men won't complain when "she" is used, but it was good advice.
To echo what others are saying, I don't think this will hurt your career, if anything it should help and should give you the opportunity to meet new people, start working on projects you are more passionate about, and gain new skills. All making you much more 'employable' I would say.

But more importantly I think I'd ask myself, if not now, when? I have a feeling its never going to get easier to go out on a limb, so the question is more will you be happy looking back if you didn't give it a shot? Live a little.

:)
You should try a more popular mobile OS that hasn't completely failed in the market, like WP7 ;)

Whaaat? So are you basically saying that one shold do half of the house chores no matter how much he/she works at their job? If one spouse is unemployed, and the other spouse works 60 hrs you consider it fair only when each does 50% of the house work?
Using it for nothing more than a digital frame and movie player would cover the $99 price.
These would rock Geckoboard pretty well I imagine, or any dashboard app. Might consider getting one now...
These are mockups not actual screenshots. I hope to make the browser work on both PCs and Macs.
I really liked the physical version, because it was a nice break from hanging out in front of the screen. But sure, this is likely the signal to go shopping for an e-reader.

You really ought to take a look at them. I know it's hard to take things from Themeforest too seriously. It was hard for me too. Now I feel dumb about that.

To elaborate on what Thomas is saying: they revolutionized rapid application development at both our companies, for like $15 each.

In consulting projects I often have call to create little one-off internal tools in Rails, either as a prototype for a tool the client will create or to support their marketing team. These generally have development budgets measured in days, and I have the HTML/CSS skills of roadkilled turtles, so they came out totally unstyled. I'm now embarrassed by them: now when I start a Rails project I drop in one of my prepared admin theme layouts and blammo it magically looks professional.

Given that my clients end up paying thousands for those mini-projects, the level of polish is clearly worth it. It's like a Tiffany box versus delivering the ring in a small paper bag: if you think it doesn't matter, your mental model of human cognition is broken.
Well, he didn't say anything about where the PC is headed, but I wish I had a ticket to the Build conference.

Hopefully they'll be showing some of the streaming OS technology and get that built into Win8
There's always the Pre/WebOS internals hacking team. The homebrew communities that build up around these types of products have always been extremely helpful.
And what I'm saying is that the PACS (the french civil union) is actually a very strong contract, just not bound up with traditional titles and roles like {husband=breadwinner,wife=homemaker}. In fact today, over 95% of civil unions in France are heterosexual couples:

"Although originally intended for same-sex couples, currently in France the majority of couples taking advantage of its law are now heterosexual couples who for one reason or another choose civil union rather than marriage, and that more heterosexual couples are opting for civil union rather than marriage. In fact, this trend was already in place in 2000, with 75% of unions between heterosexual couples (42% the previous years) and 95% in 2009."

If these folks didn't have the stability of an enforceable social contract (and tax benefits), most probably wouldn't marry either.
Marriage itself can be quite biased against males in the states. I have a friend who's wife successfully divorced him because she was not being "sexually satisfied". If a male tried to do the same, people would scream "domestic rape". Expectations of each sex, viewed through the lense of the courts, are very uneven.

And of course after the divorce the situation only becomes more dire.
What's stopping them from focusing on supporting the features devs want

They're trying to be more customer-focused, but with limited success. I don't know anyone that uses slices, for example. They did invent private browsing though, but it was quickly copied by the other browsers.

This doesn't mean they ignore developers. The integrated developer tools are pretty good.

or rivalling other browsers in compatibility

They've been trying since IE7, but they're basically being out-engineered. They 're trying to keep backwards compatibility with all of the IE plug-ins which slows them down, and of course they also started out behind.

or just straight up use webkit

Microsoft suffers from the not-invented-here syndrome. They'll use their own engine or die trying.
Not sure I entirely agree but to each their own.
thewiz.com still has the 32gb model in stock for $149

edit: sold out :(
Yep. You can't beat a $99 tablet that has a colored Kindle app.
I love children, but as a specie, we've secured our dominant position on this planet a long time ago. There's over 7 billion of us now. If children isn't your thing, why bring some into the world, and risk neglecting them?
Secure URLs can show a lock icon in the tab.

Careful, careful. Most browsers have gotten rid of the lock icon for SSL-enabled sites because it simply isn't accurate.
Sorry, but sarcasm doesn't really work over the web.
You know full well what I am saying. The concept of legally binding marriage and a "loving and positive environment" are fundamentally unrelated.

Little Johnny doesn't know or care if the government sanctions his parental figures' relationship. In fact, the only case in which Little Johnny might become aware of the governments involvement is when the resulting legal/social/economic pressure causes a dramatic deterioration of this "loving and positive environment".
Nyet. The site won't let you add it to your cart.
Couldn't that be done as a browser extension? It's a lot of work to maintain a browser and you will reach many more people by doing it as an extension.
When I try to add it to my cart, they tell me it has been removed.
Throwaway here.

I would take whatever Brandon or other WP7 dev team managers say or promise with a heavy grain of salt.

Recently, I was in discussions with a couple people at Microsoft to swing one of the free developer phones they were offering on Twitter.

They speak of giving one away like it's no big deal. So I had some back and forth with them on an app, and they said something like "Ok, get a MVP and we'll see about getting you some goodies". I got the MVP done and sent off emails and haven't heard back from them in weeks. Not even a "no".

So yeah, I feel a little bitter about it all. It's not like they owe me anything, but just take whatever Brandon, Ben, and gang say with a great big grain of salt.

I see a lot of talk about supporting developers from Microsoft, but not a lot of action.
Valid concerns indeed, but I don't get the desire to install Android on these. It feels kind of like buying a MacBook Pro to install Windows on... if MacBook Pros were built like mid-range Inspirons.
WebOS's value will never be higher. Let the bidding begin.
Hmm a store near me still has some in stock. I'm actually considering picking one up. The Ars review notes the poor Flash performance as one of the main negatives. Is there any way to disable Flash in the browser?
The housing bubble seems to be a pretty good counterexample. Plenty of people were saying that it was a bubble, while others were furiously flipping properties.
There is no "allow tracking" button: the user gets a list of required permissions and either installs the application, granting all of them, or doesn't.
So something like Microsoft Bob?
I will try to provide it as an extension as well, but I'm not sure if all the features can be implemented properly.

Browsr is more than just a password manager and a homepage. Lots of modifications are needed under the hood. Particularly installing native apps and storing all data on the user's end.
The browser has a built-in ClickToFlash-esque feature that you can enable.
If you want to be next-gen you've got to integrate web apps into the native system OS, instead of still running them inside a browser that's running as a windowed app within the OS.
It's been less than a year since it launched. The T-Mobile G1 and Android took 1+ years before it escaped its stagnant adoption rates. I remember poking fun at the G1 long after its release and about how I only ever saw one in the wild.

Shortly thereafter, I bought a Nexus One.
I think we'll see some interesting things play out with the proposed Google purchase of Motorola and Nokia becoming a premier(favored?) WP7/7.5+ partner. In the case of Google, they might be able to set the standard for Android implementations since they'll have vertical integration from hardware to software. We don't know how much Nokia will benefit from their new relationship compared to the other partners. In either case, Google and Microsoft seem to want to follow Apple's complete stack(and don't forget RIM is still in this too who also have a complete stack and a new QNX rtos. Outside of the US, RIM is doing very well) or at least offer the complete stack as an option to customers.
Good to hear :) How are you planning on tracking where snippets are used? I personally liked an idea I saw once of 'tagging' snippets with their Gist URL in a comment above the code, but it was a fatally-crippled idea because no IDEs supported such things transparently.

As much of a hell as it will be to add / maintain, can I also request that they have version + library dependencies listed somewhere, somehow, so you automagically get the most-correct one? I realize I'm asking for a package management system, and I have yet to see one that isn't fugly, but I can dream, can't I? At the very least, I figure language-version is a necessity due to syntax changes.
I wouldn't call this a next generation browser. What I'd like to see is a browser that eliminates the url bar. I don't know how that would be done and you'd probably lose functionality along the way, but from a UX standpoint, it sounds awesome.

I would like to browse the internet with only a touch screen; maybe integrate the zoom-in touchpad movement with link previews. Anyone?
"Relegated to the dustbin" is still history, just not really filled with detail.
I'm doing this too, and we're using a 128-bit random GUID, which has an unfathomably small chance of being a duplicate.
No, but I can see why others would find it valuable at $50 or even $150. For me, it was just really bad. I was hoping WebOS would be my true alternative to iOS, but it just didn't make it there.

Great dev tools, though.

What you're talking about is basically an entire OS.

I have considered it but its too complex to implement for me. And it might be too big a leap for most users.

Maybe once Windows 8 is launched...
I've seen HP lose its way from another perspective -- technical support -- over the last couple of decades. I am genuinely sad to say that I couldn't be happier that HP is getting out of the consumer market.

HP might not have been a printer company, but they built a strong reputation early on for workhorse printers, and the driver software wasn't usually too bad, either. My first job in the tech industry was in the data processing department of a good-sized East Bay school district. We must have printed tens of thousands of pages per month on an HP LaserJet 4. Never had so much as a hiccup from it.

I knew less about their computers at the time, but if memory serves, they had a good reputation there, too.

But there was this sort of gradual degradation in every single one of their product lines. The best thing I can say about their chintzy-as-hell newer printers is that the printers themselves aren't quite as bad the software. The software is terrible, and it gets worse every year, not better. In some cases, you can't install HP's driver software for two different-but-similar models of printer on the same computer; the software interferes with itself.

Their computers are a joke. We've found a lovely variety of manufacturing defects and design flaws. There's a guy on eBay doing a decent business manufacturing and selling aftermarket copper pads for graphics processors for HP laptops because their thermal pads are notorious for shrinking away from the aluminum heat sink. We've had several laptops that have seriously had every single major component replaced -- motherboard, screen, hard drive, memory -- and these aren't abused or old laptops.

And their support is just as bad. We, at one point, spent almost 40 hours in a single week on the phone with HP support for one client or another. 40 hours of lost productivity; 40 hours of cost for at least three parties; an entire work week, poof. I wish I could say the support was any good, but it wasn't.

We do our best to steer all of our clients away from HP. If they do genuinely get out of the consumer market, I can only hope that we'll see a net increase in worldwide productivity.

I cannot imagine what it would be like to be Hewlett or Packard and see that happen to the company I built.
I wouldn't call it next-generation. To me, it really resembles what the Flock browser was trying to accomplish.
Groupon: Doomed by Too Much of a Good Thing
Thanks for the warning! I know the MySQL developers have a huge challenge to maintain compatibility with existing data and clients, but it almost seems like they're trying to make Unicode difficult to use correctly when they: default to Latin1 encoding; call it something accurate yet surprising like "latin1_swedish_ci"; silently convert and corrupt data if the client connection specifies a different encoding; add a Unicode encoding called "utf8" but don't support everything that other UTF-8 does; and finally add real UTF-8 support but call it something different like "utf8mb4".

For reasons others here have mentioned, and its relative inertness. Most other things with similar qualities have the unfortunate habit of oxidizing and effectively vanishing. As long as people keep valuing it, it will keep having value, and it won't decrease in quantity.
Removing the URL bar entirely is not possible now, since typing in URLs is still fairly common. De-emphasizing it (like I do in Browsr) is a step towards what you are talking about.
Yes, an aging population might be worrisome on the surface, but I find overpopulation more worrying. Therefore, I am happy that people in really populated countries are having less babies overall!

Any Admin themes you'd recommend? Did you have to customize them?
A funny anecdote from a customer of mine, make of it what you will:

They're in an absurdly low-tech niche. I'm going to call it gardening. Their business model since the dawn of time has been "You call us up, we send a van of guys to your house, they uses scissors to trim your bushes."

Five years ago they got a brochureware website, but they were still doing everything the same way: phone, van, guys, scissors.

Then came Groupon, of all things. See, their number one problem was getting more bushes to trim. Groupon solved that very efficiently, but now they had a different problem: paper no longer scaled sufficiently to schedule everybody. So they started tracking their phoned-in appointments in (I think) Google Calendar.

This pretty much opened the floodgates. They now use one of the help desk SaaSes because the email volume was getting too big and the business owner and office manager were having communication issues. Both of them bought iPhones so that they could run the business from the road, because the owner of a small gardening firm still needs to use scissors on occasion. They bought Appointment Reminder to free the office manager from X00 phone calls per month, so she can spend the time taking bookings and managing their (packed-to-capacity-and-beyond) schedule again. Things are booming.

They're now a software, van, guys, scissors business... and the owner is a wee bit weirded out by it.

Are you referring to the IntelliJ community edition? I program on the 3 major smartphone platforms (iOS, Android, an WP7) and Android is perhaps the most painful with Eclipse. I'd be interested in IntelliJ if I could use the free version (but I don't see any reference to Android)
Flock was more interested in integrating other social networks directly into the browser.

Browsr doesn't do that, although native web apps provide a similar convenience.

Browsr main objective is to make the browsers that default place to keep user data. Instead of you social connections being on Facebook's server or Google's server, it should be on your PC. Users can let other services access this info (or even store it) but they don't get tied in to these services.
Regarding the first citation, I think this response is more useful: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=117237

And your second example makes better sense than your first. None of those three reasons have to do with agreeance.

Downvoting causes comments to literally disappear. It's tragic that good comments disappear because some people disagree. Those are frequently the most valuable comments.

Downvoting should be reserved for obviously low/no value comments. It adds no value to downvote comments merely because they express that Groupon might have a viable business.
