I have seen so many CS students that didn't like programming at all. They just finish the tasks their teachers give them and never want to see one more LoC in their idle time(Ironically, they still want to be great coders when asked).
In my opinion, the first step to level up to a programmer is to "force" oneself to love coding.

The above is just an extra hurdle to disqualify claims that only produce information.

BTW: you can't block a user with pen and paper. You can obtain information for your decision to block them, but pen and paper, in isolation, have no impact on the world. Even something like a signed contract, PO etc has no effect, unless it is used in part of a system. If this doesn't make sense to you, recall that we're talking about the claims in the patent: of course, you can use pen and paper to do many things, but in a patent, it's not enough to claim you can work out the information with pen and paper; you have to also claim what you will do with that information.

I believe the comparison HP would prefer you use is to IBM. Unlike Apple, HP has a whole lot more than consumer PCs. Between its servers and EDS, it's arguably much more like IBM.

IBM was synonymous with the PC especially in business and government and especially with Thinkpad laptops. Hell, other PCs were always called "IBM Compatible" because an the modern PC was really just a compatible copy of IBM's version of the personal computer. But IBM wasn't executing well and failing to keep up with the Dells of the world on the consumer side of things.

So IBM spun off its consumer products like its PC division (to Lenovo), its peripherals like keyboards and mice (to Unicomp), and its printers (as Lexmark). Then it doubled down on big iron, midrange servers, and made a huge play on software and consulting services.

In the end, IBM survives, is profitable, and nobody thinks it's going away any time soon. What remains of HP has long been growing into a copy of the modern IBM with a huge, low margin PC business hanging off it that grows only by cannibalizing the market share of other low margin PC manufacturers exiting the market entirely. To think that the remaining half of the company wouldn't survive after spinning off the PC business is just silly.

It looks quite nice. I do think the logout button is a bit ambiguous. I generally associate that icon as being the 'power' icon and not specifically login/logout. Desktop notifications? That's pretty cool. Also, a short tour might make clear the purpose of the different buttons, bring to light the shortcuts (t, p, c), etc without the need to experiment though 'discovering' the interface can be nice.

You are comparing a college student to a professional...

First, you can't "force" yourself to love programming. If you came here for the money and not the challenge, then you will fail. I spent a lot of time in college learning about programming outside of class, but I also spent a lot of time avoiding programming.

The experiences in other parts of your life also help shape you as a programmer. Practicing 14 hours a day 7 days a week is not going to make you the best programmer. Problem solving skills come from all aspects of life.

If you truly want to be a great programmer then you are going to have to practice. The best advice isn't really about programming:
-If you program 14 hours a day, and have no other life then it is time to find something else to occupy some of your time. It will change the say you think and help you solve problems better. You need some knowledge of people too or you will create horrible solutions to people's problems, and you will never be successful.
-If you never program outside of work/school you need to find a side project. You won't get great without practice. Take at least 4 hours a week to work on something that someone is not forcing you to work on. This can be some OSS project you have been hearing about. It can be a new OSS project you want to build. It could even be the next big thing that will have you buying yachts and race cars for the time you aren't coding.
Why is this guy being downvoted? Mobile development tools don't need to be tied to a desktop OS. Microsoft tauts Mono as a portable alternative. Let them release a WP7 SDK that works on Mono. The Java SDK is much richer & much more sophisticated, yet it has the same experience everywhere. Really, only differences between writing Android apps with Eclipse on Win32 vs Linux vs Mac are the window decorations.

Heck, even Postgres has portable tools. The GUI installer & PgAdminIII look exact everywhere.
This reads like some sort of strained apology for a relative's behavior at a family event.

I can't really think of any way that HP could have more thoroughly botched this transition—the last thing you ever want for a platform is uncertainty; you want to assure end-users and developers alike that your platform is worth investing in.

If HP's board felt it was time to get out of the mobile hardware game, fine; the way to do that would have been to arrange a hardware partnership and devise a plan of continuity for developers and users. Announcing out of the blue that they're ceasing hardware manufacturing and literally have no idea what they're doing next represents a mind-blowing caliber of professional incompetence that should have investors calling for Apotheker's ouster.

I don't think most of his investments are good examples of the power of software. I would point to embedded systems as the best examples (iOS, Android, modern fighter jet avionics, millions of other products that would be useless without software).

> Health Care will be more difficult

To implement Health Care is an immense systems integration problem.

Having done some system integration work on a much smaller scale, it seems to me that in the US, more universal health care is an effective subsidy of IT for years. I think we can't really expect a working universal health care system for years.

Using Britain as a possible analogy, building the actual master universal health care system to handle billing and invoices and patient care will be a technical and political challenge that will suck resources from patient care to IT [1].

Integration is a difficult problem and with 452 HMOs in the US - even though some will be inevitably consolidated - there will be plenty of IT work [2].

I can imagine OAuth being used to allow Twitter integration, but it doesn't really make a lot of sense as a mechanism to lock down identifiers on a single device.

The point of OAuth is to give a new web app access to data in an existing web app without giving up your password -- instead you enter your password into the original app and the new app is given a token with which to retrieve your data.

It makes complete sense for Twitter integration: you provide your Twitter password to Twitter and the iPhone ends up with a token it can use to access/post Twitter information.

I'm not sure what OAuth would be protecting when you've got multiple apps on a single device: would a user have a Flurry password that they'd enter into the Flurry app to provide access to the Flurry identifier to XYZ.app? Why would you want to do that?
Break your habit of converting them to HTML entities. Put them in your source as actual UTF-8 characters.

If your page is really being delivered as UTF-8 then it will pass all validation, just using the real characters. (You still have to escape & as &amp; of course.)

Here, I put together a little example for you: http://50pop.com/i18n.html

This is the only kind of task manager that I'd consider using. Every other time I've tried I end up just getting buried under an ever growing list of "crap that should eventually get done".

That said, the lack of Single Sign On integration with Google Apps is a non-starter. Workflow apps like this really need to make their use as frictionless as possible.

Any plans on offering it in the Google Apps Marketplace?

Maybe I'm wrong, but the circumstances are different for WP7 than it was for the iPhone and Android. I don't think that there was going to be any question that the iPhone was going to be a success with the long lines at launch and devs breaking into the OS to get apps to run. With Android, they were the first true competitor to iOS when it came to touch-based phones.

With WP7 there doesn't seem to be the enthusiasm for the product. It's a terrific OS but I get the feeling that they're really late to the game. This could all change but I don't think anyone is willing to bet their money or time on it, especially after the swift demise of WebOS.
Combine this with the suggestion that WebOS worked better on the iPad than the TouchPad, and I'm left with the impression that HP is going to open up (or possibly just license) WebOS for other tablets.

Or maybe I'm just so enamored of the idea of WebOS that I can't imagine it dying the same death of BeOS and PalmOS.

Its funny that you can trot out the standard in your defense, cut and pasting a relavent paragraph, yet seem unable to read the immediately preceding paragraph of the spec:

IE does redirect automatically. So IE isn't doing it right either. Since nobody is doing it right, I'd pick the guys doing it wrong that make the most sense. What a surprise: that's not microsoft.

HP begins TouchPad clearance with $99 fire sale
About 10 years ago I worked the register at a Dollar Tree store for exactly 1 six hour shift. I almost didn't go back to pick up my paycheck it was so bad. The customer base of these stores is very very sad. For every artist that's browsing for materials and inspiration there are a thousand little old ladies buying shit they don't need with money they don't have.

And for the most part it is shit. The food is too suspect to feed to my pets, and the consumer goods are notional facsimiles of real products. Like the Wow brand ShamWow, or the dish rag that won't make it through a wash cycle, or the Nerf gun knockoff that doesn't have any moving parts. None of this stuff is worth lifting off the shelf, let alone paying a dollar for.

I spent 6 hours of punching 1 dollar, 1 dollar, 1 dollar pondering over the people bringing this garbage to my counter, demanding indestructible plastic cups be wrapped in a dollars worth of tissue paper, repeatedly asking how much products cost as if they had not yet noticed they were in a dollar store. "How did this 70 year old woman decide today was the day she needed 20 slightly deformed acrylic cups? Has she been cupless all this time? And why return 2 hours later to get a dozen fake flowers?" I think I attributed that hollow feeling in the pit of my stomach to some concern that all these fools were being had, or perhaps that I was contributing to their hoarding illness.

The dread I felt was spot on, but the attribution was faulty. These people are not fools. The products they buy aren't fake but symbolic. They brought these offerings to my altar so that I might perform the "glassware" wrapping and price-check rituals of consumerism. I thought I was taking a job working a register, when I was really stepping behind the altar to become the liturgist of the Enfield congregation of the Dollar Tree denomination of Consumerism.

I have never been much of a devotee of the Consumer way of life, and the Dollar Tree denomination is the snake handling denomination of Consumerism. The products in a Walmart or Target could conceivably fill someone's need or desire. I doubt that much of what they sell is sold to fulfill practical wants and needs--their congregation of faithful parishioners who come to worship and trample every Black Friday for the year's must have electronic gadget attend regularly on a more distributed schedule throughout the year as well. But there is still a semblance of shame in the Walmart and Target version of idol worship. Your car floormats are a little dusty and the ones with the really rad flames on them just happen to be on sale! Outside the dollar store we're not quite ready to honestly confront what we believe in, who we are. At 16, with the quickly fading inoculation of an upbringing in the values of Presbyterianism, hard work, and education I was certainly not ready to deal with what I found in that Dollar Tree.
It may be sarcasm, but WP7 is quite a bit different than WinMo 6. Different tools, different design, etc. Developing for WinMo 6 wasn't a hardship, if you knew most of the windows APIs. That said, you had to develop using a lot of familiar Windows APIs.

WP7 is supposed to be cleaner. I don't use it currently, but will be interested when I have the chance (probably later this year).

In a sense, each platform requires that you "adopt" their platform of choice. iOS - OSX, WinCE - Windows, Android - Eclipse (and you aren't going to tell me Eclipse is actually superior to OSX or WinX or Linux -- it is bloated, kludgy, and has it's own quirks -- but it is the easiest platform for android dev)...

That said, the worst mobile dev. platform I've ever used was Symbian. On Windows it was a jumble, on *nix/OSX it was a trip into insanity.
While that may functionally be a replacement for UDIDs, that is not the intended purpose for those classes. They're supposed to do a lot more.

I know for a fact that HP would prefer us to think of IBM, and I will not fall into the trap of thinking it is like IBM or Apple but not both. The way in which HP is like Apple is that its mobile business has a proprietary OS with good reviews but poor market. This does not apply to their desktop business, which resembles IBMs in that they wound up being a tax collector for Microsoft.
Unfortunately, SMS has a much stronger network effect than AOL did.
"How did this 70 year old woman decide today was the day she needed 20 slightly deformed acrylic cups? Has she been cupless all this time? And why return 2 hours later to get a dozen fake flowers?" I think I attributed that hollow feeling in the pit of my stomach to some concern that all these fools were being had, or perhaps that I was contributing to their hoarding illness.

Maybe she was just lonely or bored and needed errands to run. I volunteered to teach some basic computer stuff 1-on-1 at a 50+ organization and frequently the people there didn't care about actually picking up the skills, they just wanted someone to talk to.
Beyond that, people also generally don't know that you can actually learn the commands to do things with the keyboard by reading the menus.

I really wish HP would stop chasing for a market and double down on the one they are good at. HP chased the hot and fresh tablet market. Flop. This move to a more enterprise serving model just looks like HP is chasing the cloud.
You know what I want? I want a new HP calculator. I love my HP 50g, but it's about time for some innovation. It wouldn't even be too demanding on R&D (if that department even exists...), just strip down some of those tablets and sick'em in calculator body, make software and hardware hacker friendly. I don't think it is too much to ask for a calculator that is comparable in utility to a consumer level PC for mathematics processing.
