You have to write some relatively complex law to prohibit it.

For example, Google bought Motorola Mobility -- do they get those patents? What if they then spin off everything, but the patents? Can they do that? Whom do the patents stay with? Can I sell you my company, but not the patents? As an employee, when I grant my employer my patents, have I sold them? Etc...
It gets pretty tedious, when you are doing this for 80% of the sites you are visiting.

Also on slower hardware - zooming is a drag, and it can be slow.

The browsers do allow for customisaton, and I think this is probably the easiest thing for an end user. I use a minimal font size of 16px, and that works for me. But it does break some sites - Facebook's layout has been broken over the last month like this for example. Which is fine if you kind of understand the reason for it, but could confuse other users. Just as some navigation breaks, think of horizontal nav, that falls onto another line when the text size increases - I'm thinking hover states, and drop down menus.

How to delete comments from your Google+ Posts
This very brief guide will show you how to delete comments that people leave on your Google+ posts. While some folks might find this process very intuitive, I’ve seen quite a few friends on Google+ (”Google Plus”) that were unsure of how to do it. So – here are the steps to delete a comment that someone has left on one of your Google...

> I feel like the opensource movement has already won.

We have a really long way to go, still.

The most popular computer platforms in the world are iOS and Android, and their users don't have the practical ability or, in some countries, the legal right to modify the software on them.

Many people communicate with their friends and colleagues through Facebook and Gmail — proprietary software applications that send copies of their most private data to advertising-funded companies in foreign countries. (Unless they live in the US.) Their right to continue communicating with their friends through these media is subject to arbitrary revocation at any moment.

Every day, I run into web sites that don't work unless I install Flash.

And my friend David tells me his startup has just received a patent lawsuit from Lodsys.

I understand that you're happy with this situation (except the patent part), but I'm not.

I want to live in a world where people's communication with their friends, family, and colleagues, and the public, is subject to approval from nobody except the communicating parties.

I want to live in a world where Apple can't surreptitiously log everywhere I go on my own phone, and where I'm not committing a crime if I reprogram the phone to stop anyone who is.

I want to live in a world where I can buy any random piece of hardware at the computer store and plug it in with happy anticipation that it will work with Linux, not dread that I'll have to search all over the web for half-assed reverse-engineered drivers.

I want to never read another fucking EULA, and to never again have to click through without reading it and wonder what rights I've just signed away.

We've come a long way, but we still have a long way to go.
For the technology? Yes a thousand times over. But practically it's impossible for it to actually erase everything simply to learn one thing. Neuroscience has pretty well defined rules for how we learn and already shows that forced associations of neurons would not 'overwrite' or 'erase' previous associations. So again. An emphatic yes. Because it wouldn't work like the author proposes.

Obviously if we are constrained to the authors premise then very few reasonable persons would agree to that. It's basically a fluff piece trying to tell people not to take the easy way out.

And if one were constrained to those limits. Then they would simply download wikipedia like was done for watson. (even if it was only the major articles in size 10^-6 font.
So it's time to fork the FSF because this guy does not agree with one comment RMS did?

How is this not overreacting in the first place...

Stripper Clothes that he will pay for
I'm not sure the author of the article is familiar enough with Arrested Development to draw the analogy. Most agree that AD's problem was marketing, not product. If you're familiar with the series, you know the story wasn't overtold. If anything, it was left hanging.

We didn't know about the show when it aired. Like many others, we caught up on Netflix much later, loved it, and were surprised they killed it off so early. Be careful not to assume a product problem when you're actually suffering from a marketing problem.

Fun fact that the author should have included: AD actually makes fun of "jumping the shark", using Henry Winkler's character no less.
You’re applying to Y Combinator as a team. Sound like one.
If this was true, the last thing they would do is put out a press release about it.
It also gives them an extra way to lock users in.
I should not say this as it brings nothing to the conversation, but thank you.

This hypocrite Job Mania is making me sick and your opinions expresses pretty well parts of my resentment..
Loon is NOT an adjective that you can apply to Stallman.

n 1: a worthless lazy fellow

He is certainly not that. He founded the GNU project. Authored the GPL. Wrote dozens of open source applications. And overall contributed a lot to free software. Choose your words carefully!
> the best solution is going to be the freedom for people to sell commercial closed software as well as use open software.

The "freedom" you're describing involves government-granted monopolies enforced by pervasive surveillance, unannounced office raids to audit licenses, serial numbers to ensure trackability of all CD-R media, and prosecution of people for disabling malicious software running on their own computers. Certainly it's a kind of freedom; but can't we do better?

Stallman had a slightly different viewpoint about that "freedom":

The "freedom to choose a license" which denies others essential
freedoms is not really a freedom. It is a form of power, of
domination over others. Your description makes it sound like a
matter of individual freedom by obscuring the presence of the
others in the situation.

The GPL is designed to protect the essential freedoms for everyone,
by denying anyone the power to take them away.

(He wrote that in 1999, but I imagine he still feels the same way.)
imho, if you are successful, you will reach a point where the needs of the business will eventually outpace a non-hacker's ability to consume and learn fast enough.

Keep your friend on, but start looking for a coder as a full time co-founder.

And don't be stingy with equity. Vest him in with graduated steps up to 33.3%. Is the easiest way to find someone of quality.
Or are opportunistic assholes who capitalize on any occasion.

I fully understand this Larry, and think FSF would have been doing much better if there was someone else at its cockpit.

RMS is a fanatic about free software, like ultra religious people are to their religion.

For instance, for me, being free, means, at first and above all, being free to choose. Being able to install proprietary nVidia driver which does not crash my linux box every half a day, and have this driver built and available for me in my linux distro repository.

Years ago, RMS was a guest of honor in IBM Tel Aviv. These were the days, Linux was something left-field, obscure, that no one wanted to know or hear about it. There were hundreds of developers in the hall who came to hear about the "Gnu/Linux thing" from the Freedom Guru.

All of a sudden, in the middle of his lecture, out of any imaginable context, RMS took of his left shoe, and then the sack, and start rubbing his toes with his fingers while preaching about free software.

Yes, imagine that, a man is playing with his barefoot on a stage, would you remember anything he said? Would you listen to anything he has to say? Or would your brain being busy understanding and categorizing the extraordinary show you are in?

(Those were not the days of youtube and smartphone, I bet if that would have been happening these days, this was the most viewed video on youtube amongst hackers.)

It is sad, but successful open source project does not seemed to get along with RMS at all, see Ubuntu/Canonical as a good example.
I've been preaching this to my friends.

You know what response I receive most from designers? "I just don't see how I would fit in or add value?"

Sigh. Too many exceptional people underestimate themselves.

7 little-known facts about Steve Jobs
I think RMS's statement is completely misinterpreted. Don't forget the first part of the sentence: "I'm not glad he's dead", which literally means RMS is not glad that Jobs died!

"I'm glad he's gone" is only a complaint towards Jobs' influence on personal computing. You may disagree with RMS (I certainly do), and it is certainly an inappropriate comment to make at this time, but this is nothing to make a drama of RMS' comment... Geez people!
I have to flag this for being utterly asinine. If you're really a "free software guy", RMS's statement should not even partially raise an eyebrow.
Win 2K8, Oracle, MS-SQL, DB2, .NET, WebLogic, WebSphere, C#, etc would all slightly disagree with you.
Jobs popularized the walled garden.
Why not? Any decent CS course covers garbage collectors. It should be a matter of presenting a known algorithm in pseudocode. Unless they expect the whiteboard code to compile and produce a fully working garbage collector.
My understanding is that Apple restricts the applications that it "allows" to run on users' iOS devices to the point that programming language interpreters were effectively banned until about a year ago, now they're merely severely restricted. Users of iOS devices are effectively prevented from running GPL apps because of the restrictions Apple is putting on other peoples' code on users' devices.

It's not just against the development of Stallman's brand of Free Software.

It's an attack on all software developers.
"not looking to be acquired" ==> not looking, but if we're found, hells yes I'll take $20M.
Loon is used as slang to mean somebody who is a bit off the wall or crazy, as in that person belongs in the "loony bin" (mental hospital).
my particular recipe involves fetchmail, procmail, msmtp, vim, aspell, ical, etc..

but yes, if you are stuffing +100k emails into one folder -- that is completely insane -- that's why you use procmail to sort your email into different folders as it arrives; I subscribe to a LOT of email lists and ctrl-D delivers a lot of magic when I don't want to or have the time to sort through a bunch of crap but

Yeah but everything would physically be bigger, like it was zoomed. Would be very odd and seem like it was too big. You wouldn't gain any real estate.
that's wild conjecture unless you helped design the iphone.
A NDA is a much different beast than a non-compete clause. I have signed NDAs to work on school projects before, but that did not really affect anything I did outside of the class project. I don't think an NDA would close off any job opportunities. The subject of the article signed a non-compete clause, which prevented him from getting a good job opportunity. I don't think those have much in common.

Interestingly the browser defaults have changed over time.

When we used to use 640x480 and 800x600 monitors, the browser defaults - for something like a h1 took up most of the screen. That's half the reason designers (before the advent of CSS) didn't use semantic markup. They'd just use bold to mark up a heading at the body text size. We had pixel images used for text in navigation at 10px. With something like 12px for body text (and tables for layouts.)

There were also radical inconsistencies between the browsers, with their text size rendering defaults.

I'm also pretty sure that the 16px default font size was a late edition. Either way a bit of history would help the article.

Plus, as many have pointed out, the fact that 16px appears differently depending on screen resolution, distance from the display is an important point that should have been stated.

The article may have been better arguing that making a website more readable is better for users and sustained readership.
RMS and Jobs seem very similar to me. Both were monomaniacal perfectionists. Both were undiplomatic and unwilling to compromise or cater to unbelievers.

The post I replied to was lamenting that products from the "new Apple" weren't good hacker toy boxes like the Apple II. I'm pointing out that the shift was intentional.

I don't think I exaggerated computer history either; Altair 8800 to iPhone is a big leap, and I'm not dead yet.
It'll be interesting to look forward another 30 years and see "The man who inspired ###" talking about Steve Jobs. I wonder who that ### will be.

BeOS is a good point. And even if Be itself didn't change the world, there might have been flocks of Apple refugees who moved on to make something else wonderful. So perhaps many of the same things would have happened if another player had developed to fill an Apple-like niche.

As far as the technologies you mention go, they would have happened, but without Apple (or a sufficiently Apple-like player), they would have happened differently. Most of the other things you're talking about happened before Apple got to them. I had a Creative Labs Nomad -- it was cool to have, but the user experience kinda sucked. Sony and Toshiba in particular have a long history of making great thin and light computers that have generally fallen outside mainstream consumer price points, and many of these predate the original MacBook Air, nevermind the current generation ones. There were a variety of touchscreen phones that predate the iPhone, such as those based on WinMo. I had one or two. They tended to be unreliable and have errant apps that could wreck your whole system, so the UX kinda sucked.

What Jobs's Apple was great at, especially with iOS, was distilling things down so that they were simple and friendly and had really good judgement about what to include, what to leave out, and how much control to expose to the user. The net result was that lots of technologies that were slowly happening anyway suddenly became massively popular because Apple managed to build the perfect product for a mass market.

And as I say this, keep in mind that there's not a single Apple device that I use on a daily basis. I use Windows and Android happily, and wouldn't trade my current setup for any of the fine products that Apple makes. But simply by existing and releasing the products they did, Apple made Windows and Android better. Windows tablets had a lousy experience and sold poorly, and Apple completely redefined what it means to be a tablet with the iPad. Now Microsoft has delivered an awesome preview of Win 8 tablets, which would never have existed without the iPhone. Android and Windows Phone would be very different if the iPhone had never come to market and demanded that everyone rethink the idea of the smartphone.

That's what I was trying to get at. Hopefully it makes more sense this go around.
I've signed them when asked and have only been brought into court once. The judge threw the case out in under 10 minutes.

On short, you can't keep someone being gainfully employed simply because you signed a non-compete clause.
I've signed them when asked and have only been brought into court once. The judge threw the case out in under 10 minutes.

In short, you can't keep someone being gainfully employed simply because you signed a non-compete clause. The majority of these are simply not enforceable.

Also, in an economy with 10% unemployment, I think you'd be hard pressed to find a judge who would enforce these right now.

I rather agreed, but only because I think Stallman's achievements trump Jobs' in the long run - http://matthewblo.ch/34/keep-it-classy-richard-stallman/
Contracts generally have a clause that indicates which state's laws they follow. If you go to work for Microsoft, your non-compete will say that the contract is enforceable under the laws of the state of Washington. You can't escape it by vacationing in California or even by taking a job there.
Again, this was NeXT; not Apple.

I believe that the early Objective-C compiler did emit C.
It's unclear to me why you're being so harshly downvoted. All that's needed is a quick trip to Wiktionary (or your favorite dictionary) to see that you're correct.

EDIT: Well, I should note that you're correct about the definition. I don't know about the etymology.

I won't say I am supporting RMS or not. Actually I think Jobs was a man with great talent, but I don't like him. I think most of you overreacted on "I'm not glad he's dead, I'm glad he's gone". RMS expressed clearly that he don't agree with the achievements that Jobs reached in his short life. This is a personal opinion. You can't force everyone to agree with what Jobs has done. After all RMS said "I'm not glad he's gone." That's enough. I think there is nothing to argue for.

From Tom Hughes, who was design director for the Macintosh project, here's more about the meeting between Land and Jobs:

[A]ll serendipity for Sculley who was just along for the ride. He just happened to luck out. And, there was no pilgrimage… no planned meeting with Dr. Land. I was working for Steve as Design Director for the Macintosh project and we were in Boston and I asked Steve if he’d like to meet Dr. Land, whom I had worked with before Apple. I called Dr. Land and he agreed to meet Steve. We arrived to find a BBC documentary film crew there. Dr. Land excused them and we began a 3 hour visit which included a glimpse into color experiments that were in his lab, to his personal office and an amazing review of some of his personal collection of photographs. The memorable part of this was that Steve was meeting someone who legitimately could be, almost uniquely, a mentor for him. And, clearly, they shared an awareness of the importance of good design as it contributed not only to their products, but to their corporate culture as well.

I am not everyone, but I believe that people deserve a little respect when they pass, even if they antagonized you in life.

There are perhaps exceptions in those who are essentially disgraces to the human race, but in general... Death is the one thing that binds us all. We all share the same destination. Have a little class. Even Gates had something nice to say, and I'm sure if Gates passed first, Jobs would have had something as well.

Death is not a time for bitterness.
