It should probably diminish Steve Jobs, but not in quite the obvious way.

Not: "SJ did that, and it was bad, so I think worse of him."

But: "SJ did that, which shows that he was unusually willing and able to take the credit and the benefits of someone else's work; so my estimate of the share of the credit and benefits he got later in his career should accordingly be reduced."
Although Stallman didn't use a great deal of tact in his statement I agree with his concern overall. Software should serve the user in accordance with the ideal of individual empowerment with technology and not become a sort of jail controlled by a central authority that you have to struggle to break out of. The problem of impersonal computing is by no means isolated to Apple though.

> but the computers I have used, the smartphone I own, the tablet I will eventually get, the world I will live in 20 years from now, probably would not exist if it wasn't for Steve Jobs.

This is such an overstatement. What makes you so sure that Jobs had a positive influence on the world? You can't tell if in his absence something better would evolve. Not all his ideas were originall nor all the inventions were his own. And more importantly, neither was a better world his goal.

I see him more as a vanity figure and his contribution way overestimated. Sorry, if you had an image o Jobs running in a green forest along side with unicorns and rainbows, my opinion differs.

You really need to read iWoz, his biography. It's got a heap of similarly great stories and is told in Woz' characteristic humble way

Think of LLVM as a back end for compiling C with exception support and a few more bits and pieces (e.g. GC hooks). Treat LLVM bitcode as a platform-specific artifact; i.e. don't try to share the same bitcode across multiple CPU targets and OS platforms, no more than you'd try to share the same C code across the same without using any conditional compilation symbols (i.e. it would be close to impossible).

LLVM bitcode isn't a good intermediate format for platform independence, for transport or for interpretation. What it is good for is having separate compilation while delaying whole program optimization until "link time" (but is actually LLVM linking time, not actual object file linking). LLVM bitcode lets you have multiple bits and pieces of a program written in different languages yet still have whole program optimization (e.g. inlining) across language boundaries. Look at it like that.

If you're trying to create a JIT for multiple platforms, I'd start with a bytecode format that is either easy to interpret or easy to transform trivially into naive CPU instructions (the former is better for high-level optimizations because it will retain high-level semantics, the latter a better shortcut for speed by skipping interpretation); treat LLVM as a CPU target, but be aware you'll probably want to generate different LLVM instructions for minor differences between final target platforms that poke through the abstraction layer. You'll need to either invent that bytecode format yourself or reusing someone else's (depending on what language you're trying to execute, I expect); but I wouldn't look to LLVM to give you that bytecode.
Stallman didn't say he's glad Steve Jobs died. I understand he's glad that Steve's influence on computing stop, as that influence is driving computing in a closed ecosystem.

You can take it in a non-emotional way. A is, in your opinion, a bad thing. If A stops, you're glad. If A stops because of a sad B event, you can be both glad for A to end, and sad for B to occur.

Almost every time I read a story about the two Steves, it feels like their relationship was unbalanced. Woz always comes out as the brilliant engineer who gets played by management to lay golden eggs for nearly free.

I haven't read iWoz, and I doubt Woz himself feels this way about it, but these stories just have a way of coming across that way.

It used to be the case that licenses required you to submit your modifications back to the source. Lucent's first stab at opening Plan 9 From Bell Labs back in '99 had such a clause.
I think you're under-estimating RMS's extremism about 'freeness'.

RMS would say that you booted your machine with an evil closed EFI / BIOS; that there's a bunch of evil non-free drivers; that there's a bunch of evil non-free gui stuff, etc etc.

Chrome was not, to RMS, a valid solution. Note his approach to "browsing the www" - (http://lwn.net/Articles/262570/)

>To look at page I send mail to a demon which runs wget and mails the page back to me.

RMS would say that there is still plenty of work to do to work toward 'free' software. (Mobile phones is something he's keen to open up.)
And I think that's fine with RMS — Apple didn't get GNU's work for free for their proprietary IDE and had to develop their own software.
I was thinking "We're rich, sucks to be you.". But lying that the physical presence determines the location of a transaction would be high on the list.
That's not quite true. You can't make any assertions about the behaviour of the system if only one part of it is verified.

The way to verify the entire system is not to verify that quantum physics works; that doesn't help. Instead you have to assume that the logic gates you are using are deterministic which is impossible to prove. Then you work up from there.

Despite this, I do agree that having part of the system verified is better than having none of it verified.

Very nice looking program - can certainly see myself using it to keep track of what's going on on my Mac.

One thing I've noticed though, is that it doesn't seem to be catching network activity that's taking place from the command line. I'm running an SSH session, and just tried pinging a server from the terminal and it didn't see either of those. If you can add that as well, then it would be even more useful.
What is the technology behind it? Does it all go via Google servers? Does it have some port forwarding magic?
As I said already, today's hacker culture is crippled. So called "hackers" here have lost their principles, forgotten the value of freedom, worship the wrong idols. How come an entrepreneur be a hero much more important than any of the researchers who pioneered the modern computer technology? How can the man who worked against the values and principles of the hacker ethic be an idol for so many hackers? There is no real hacker community here on HN, only a flock of spineless ship.
It should notice command line ssh connections (it only logs new connections, not already established ones).

Actually, it does use kernel-level connection tracking.
Given the hordes of people who seem keen to use Stallman's words against him I think he should perhaps have put a bit more thought into them, but I'm extremely glad he didn't make the kind of bland, wishy washy PR statement you suggest.
Probably none as they all use non-free non-trivial proprietary javascript!
For me, the important selling point would not be that I save the time required for installing the distro - that only takes a half hour anyway. What would make me buy your laptop (even with shipping from the UK to Germany) would be the assurance that everything, including suspend-to-ram, works 100% on the laptops you sell. Ideally you would also investigate and take back the laptop if it doesn't. That would be really awesome.
Oh, I am sure we would have gone similar places without him... eventually. A windowing graphical user interface is objectively easier to use for most people than alternatives at the time, for example. But he saw it at Xerox, recognized it for what it was, refined it until it was sharp and crisp, and made such an impression that everyone followed suit. How long would it have taken otherwise? How many failed attempts and how many iterations? How many more failed tablets and how many more incremental improvements on feature phones? It's not like it only happened once.

Anyway, you may very well disagree. I was just trying to explain why some people who think differently might be more than a little sad about it. And that just because he was a stranger doesn't limit the amount of sadness people may legitimately feel.
Consumer Wealth System Review: Sell Products

> Most early music stores had no DRM.

Yeah, but they also had no music. Apple used their near monopoly of online music to force the majors into selling DRM free music online. That deserves praise.

"On January 6, 2009, Apple announced that DRM had been removed from 80% of the entire music catalog in the U.S."

I’m Paul, the guy who designed the amazing/abominable* logo above.

Thanks for the ‘grats and criticism. I’ll respond to a few of the specific points above in a bit to clarify or address things as I see them (which is my opinion and not that of the foundation, to be clear

Generally, yes, the design should appear more raspberry in colour then it seems here. By that I mean, not quite red, but definitely not purple. This is my fault for designing in CYMK on a wide-gamut monitor calibrated for print and then not checking the colour profile was set properly on other monitors when exported from EPS. Looks like RGB #e7113c is closer to what I’d expect. Mea culpa.

If I’ve underplayed the Pi/Pie aspect, it because the ideas I tried along those lines always ended up too fussy and indistinct and I felt that the Raspi needed something that would be eye-catching, friendly and recognisable worldwide even when photocopied badly in one colour and without any supporting text.

While you can’t please all the people all the time, I did go for something simple enough to have room to grow. It’s be easy as pie to anthropomorphise (y’know, for kids) and some people have already seen this, which makes me smile

Influence wise, it might help to think of it as the love child of the Apple logo and Bibendum. http://guru.gg/lovechild.png

So, what happens when a virus on the phone tells it to pose as a CD drive, and install a keylogger?
My plan is to give the software away for free, but keep the distribution somewhat centralized and the source closed. The app is, on a business level, a marketing tool for my Radio Silence firewall. I hope it will drive traffic and links to the site by giving away a complementary product for free.

Sharing the source through github might work against that goal.
It's self-reinforcing. The outliers tend to quit.

Trying to bring about change to make things less creepy from the inside was a tremendous failure.
That's very US-centric of you.
But you paraphrase me without really 'getting it' :(

Stallman represents what a lot of people would think if they really though about software freedom - it is in fact the only common sense approach. Computer software runs the world (along with JP Morgan ;) so it is very important that is adheres to these common sense, though rather hard-to-think-about ideals.

Maybe the iPhone will ultimately be inconsequential in historical terms, but it should adhere to the same principles; everything should.

i believe apple will release larger screens at some point and all this apple-mind readings will be forgotten even by their writers. And those people will search miracles elsewise.

- You've turned a conversation into a continuous rant.

And the sad part is that I suspect you'll never look back on what you did accomplish and feel satisfaction. You'll just continue raging against the goals you couldn't reach.

Installing WordPress on Windows
A better analog to Jobs than the ancient Greeks might Michelangelo, and we still talk about him, because what he did for that time was incredible. In fact it's still incredible. Jobs didn't just build amazing products for our time, but amazing products for the future as well. We didn't just fall in love with his products, we fell in love with him and Apple as well. [And FYI, I'm not a fanboy!]

This must be the first entrepreneur/capitalist/CEO that has been mourned on such a global scale, and that in itself is remarkable; there's no one who comes close. Maybe Warren Buffett, but outside of the US he's not that well-known. The only person I can think of from modern times might be Walt Disney, someone who was similarly creative, demanding, and left a cultural and commercial legacy behind.
Because of the user interface. It's a dumb issue, but Lion changed the way table views work. Getting from 0 to MVP was about twice as fast with the new Lion features.

The brain most closely resembles a graph. See Marko's post on "Graphs, Brains, and Gremlin" (
http://markorodriguez.com/2011/07/14/graphs-brains-and-greml...).

Sebastian Seung is a leading researcher in the field of neuroscience called connectomics, which studies the wiring of the brain, and he is a professor at MIT's Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences. He is focused on mapping the connections between each neuron and calls the mappings our "connectome," which he says is as individual as our genome.

He says scientists have hypothesized for years that each thought, each memory is stored as a neural connection. See his TED talk "I Am My Connectome" (http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/sebastian_seung.html) and the Human Connectome Project (http://www.humanconnectomeproject.org).
