Hardly any of what you said was actually relevant in the Android vs. this thing debate. I used to own an Android with a micro-qwerty keyboard, I could connect a variety of such keyboards to my current touchscreen-only phone, it has wifi, GPS and a mic jack (which the device in question does not) it already supports any earpiece/mic going and has fairly decent speech to text. So why is the device that already has 90% of what you want impractical, and this device which has 10% of what you want is not?

Also, most people can achieve a higher WPM on Swype than T9. I know it's a little more frustrating and trickier to text blind, but it's also way faster.
Changed that, thanks.

I am eagerly waiting for the Steve Jobs's biography. Its based on 40 interviews with Jobs. I am hoping there are a lot more such interesting stories.
Also call me cynical but I figured the leaked news of Apple's board talking to potential CEO's had more to do with softening the blow to the market when Jobs did inevitably step down than a real split between Jobs and the board.
I wish you all the best Steve and hope you continue to find great joy in everything you do.

The difference is while apple has made a ton of money, they don't have the dominant control of a market the way a company like MS did when Gates stepped down. Monetarily sure they're stupid successful but it's still quite easy to leave most of their platforms, the biggest exception probably being iTunes due to people being used to using it to manage their music, no matter how shitty the app is.

There is no one who can truly replace Steve. Tim Cook will remain as CEO until he is proven otherwise.

Wow that's bad. When someone has full control of your routers you can never be sure what they made off with. Remember that not everything is secured with TLS/SSL. Heck think about all the traffic that is unencrypted that isn't HTTP. Someone exploiting the management port of IOS could conceivably just log all data and review at their leisure. Wiping IOS was most likely to cover their tracks.

Everyone will remember the industry pioneer, the man who saved a giant corporation, and the man who revolutionized consumer electronics.

How many people will remember the guy who ran a software company with under 100 employees, who flew around the country hard-selling small engineering teams on his developer tools? At any time, he could have retired himself to pasture. But he never did.
Do you need to be a programmer to run a software company?
Because it's Steve Jobs, this is a great anecdote. I'm sure we'll hear dozens of them in the next couple days and weeks, all examples of Jobs' attention to detail and design resulting in superior products and software.

Yet imagine your boss calling you on a Sunday and saying, "So I was reviewing the DBA's data model for the new product, and I really don't like how he's called the columns with customers identifiers 'cust_id' instead of 'customer_id.' We use 'customer_id' in all our other tables. It's just wrong and and I'm going to have him fix it tomorrow. Is that okay with you?" And then you get an e-mail called 'Customer Column Naming Convention Ambulance' five minutes later.

I mean... if you got a call like this from anyone else, wouldn't it be absolutely absurd? How did Jobs manage to put his own mark on design decisions like this without totally micro-managing or hit-and-run-managing everything?

Interested in a 2nd edition of "Real World Haskell"?
I certainly hope this doesn't mean Steve's health is declining, but rather that he and Apple feel the time is right to make a smooth transition towards assigning Tim Cook as the new CEO. It definitely feels like Steve is sincere in his belief that now is the right time for him to step down. I just hope he still has the capacity to creatively inspire Apple in his new role as Chairman as much as he always has.
That penultimate paragraph is certainly a change in tune from Vic's I/O keynote last year... ;)

200 times GNP? Unlikely. Jared Diamond's book by the same name? That's not very specific if you don't know the name of the book. Is it "Iceland’s ninth century agrarian collapse?" Also she uses million where she probably meant billion (the author is American and she addresses Americans, so American millions should be what she's using). Otherwise, if her facts are correct then it is a very interesting case. I'm particularly curious about the specifics of how they decided on the constitutional drafters.

This is why I like Python over Ruby. The approach to me seems very methodical and the community overall is okay with waiting as long as when the future does come it is tested and stable.
I'm totally not qualified to talk about this, but since I'm just writing an off-the-cuff comment on a website, I can at least give you my impression. Don't take my word for it, I'm probably full of shit.

Keep in mind that the debt here means that depositors gave them money in the usual bank arrangement. When you deposit money with your bank, they don't let the money sit in a physical vault or the digital equivalent. They put as much of it as possible to work. The Icelandic banks had used the money to make diversified investments across Europe. I'm from Denmark, and in this period there were several noteworthy Icelandic investments in major Danish companies, and that was the pattern all over northern Europe. It was a far more responsible and effective investment strategy than what was generally followed by the Irish banks, who injected the bulk of their investment funds back into the Irish economy, especially in the real estate market, thereby artificially inflating and extending the Irish bubble.

> I realize it's not easy to see the forest from the trees, but isn't there some point at which banks start to see that they are taking on too much debt?

They could have hedged against overall market drops much better than they did. They put too much into real estate. Etc. But when there is a rapid and systematic dive in confidence and all your major depositors make a simultaneous run on the bank, you are pretty much screwed. They'd have needed to bet a sizable chunk of their funds against the market as a whole to cover that eventuality. But if everyone had done that, things would quickly have gone nonlinear, so it's unclear at least to me what they should have done, given their mandate to invest the money on hand.

The root mistake was probably taking on too many easy-come, easy-go customers who'd want to make a quick escape in the event of a down-turn.
I'm running about 6 years behind in my reading, in that I have about 6 years of books piled up in my bookshelves. Real World Haskell is pretty near the end of the queue.

“It’s like when IBM drove a lot of innovation out of the computer industry before the microprocessor came along. Eventually, Microsoft will crumble because of complacency, and maybe some new things will grow. But until that happens, until there’s some fundamental technology shift, it’s just over.” [Wired, February 1996]

Wow I find this one especially prescient. Imo it shows real insight, and shows he wasn't following some pipe dream.
Vic Gundotra is the Senior Vice President of Social at Google. This anecdote is straight from his mouth.
The iPhone originally started development as the iPad, then they deduced the product would make more impact as a phone. The AppleTV uses the same internals as the iPhone/iPad line, just waiting to have AppStore access turned on. Much more deliberate than say, HP who bailed on the market 48 days after launch, or Windows and the Zune/PlaysForSure fiascos, not to mention the long delayed Windows Phone strategy (vs 6.5, etc).
I think attention to detail in terms of a column name is different than attention to visual design and look and feel of a product.
I think you're also confusing millions and billions. For one, there is no such thing as "American millions", millions are the same everywhere.
true, but hopefully that will be under better circumstances.

not if your boss saved a multi billion $ business from bankruptcy and converted it into the most valuable company in the US. It is the credibility that Jobs has built over many decades that speaks as all these blog posts now..

>the author is American and she addresses Americans, so American millions should be what she's using

A British million is the same thing as an American million: it is the words "billion", "trillion", etc, that mean different things in British English than in American English.

But that just makes your point more true, namely, the OP probably meant billion.

5 Reasons to Be Long on Apple
Nope, it's just as important. "Good design is thorough through the details" and that permeates all the way from visual design to code to database.

This is what it takes to have a robust, elegant, awesome and enjoyable product.

There are so many mistakes in this it's not funny. "In 2003 Iceland’s debt was equal to 200 times its GNP, but in 2007, it was 900 percent."? In that case it's gone from 200 times down to 9. This person should not be writing an article about numbers, because they've completely fluffed all of them. Worthless article.

What I didn't understand about the Greece situation is why they caved to the massive privatization and austerity measures when they should have realized that they are the ones in the drivers seat. If Greece defaults it's the German banks who will pay instead of the Greek public. Of course if the German banks fail it will put the whole Euro project in danger, but why should it be up to ordinary Greeks to save the Euro? In any case the austerity measures are doomed no matter what, Greece will default anyway.
