No, it wasn't a poor attempt. The grandparent failed to read your post. Thank you for the interesting link; it adds an interesting dimension to the announcement.
Re: what it would look like? I am guessing just like a typical Apple ad?

When you're mostly creating a better case, better UX, and better marketing.. and your partners do most of the really hard low-level technical stuff [1].. why bother with R&D?

It wasn't Picasso, but T. S. Eliot. And "simplicity is the ultimate sophistication" (another Jobs favorite) was said not by Leonardo, but by William Gaddis.
I don't expect our first game to necessarily be a hit, but we'll be working towards what I explained above. It'll probably take time to build up to your 1, 2, and 3 (unless we get lucky and they all resolve in our favor).
That would violate the bittorrent protocol, which explicitly says that clients must not bias their choices of chunks. And consider that if all clients did so, the peer-to-peer mechanism would stop working for the later chunks.
Oh man, this is the kind of stuff I'm looking for. It's so simple yet I didn't even know how to start it. Now I can put real characters into my javascripts :)
I like the fact that they've got boilerplate styles but their "grid" is still using floats, big strike out there.

The http://stacklayout.com/ is heaps better - using display:inline-block; for nestable grids means no more annoying column classes etc. It's a much nicer way to work
Someone did. I remember seeing it on Macrumors at the time. They only overheard snippets, after which one of the two said "Let's take this someplace more private".

Also, it's a very American attitude to deficiency (just work more/harder) that ignores the far deeper problems. Outside of the Asian countries, who nobody should be emulating, the countries that do education well all have sane school hours. let kids be kids and figure out what you're doing fundamentally wrong. Poverty and a basic lack of respect for education are a good place to start.

Look at the Jews (not the Chinese, they go a bit overboard). They take education and achievement seriously. When my buddy Dave was in grade 11, his father was making him spend an hour a day studying for the SATs. He volunteered in research labs, got great grades, and got into a very good combined college/med school (rpi). He now does medical research, at 25.

Dave's parents placed a lot of emphasis on educational achievement, and it paid off. His brothers are similarly successful, and this attitude pervades Jewish culture in away that can't be said of society as a whole. Now, obviously, this is a value that individual families must hold, and something that Government can't just legislate. Still, there are ways of encouraging this behaviour that don't involve determining funding by standardized test scores. Most of it, however, needs to come from Americans themselves.
Completely agree. Do we need to be reminded of what Android looked like before the iPhone existed?

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2007/11/androi...

The whole concept of Android shifted once iPhone was introduced. What the Google team had been working on wasn't even close.
Hi there, and thanks!

I bought a theme (from themeforest.net) to make quick changes off of, and my friend gave me some CSS that I used to format the top. Here's the theme I purchased: http://tanshcreative.com/symple-lp-preview/symple_v1/index.h...

I'm not a developer and I'm pretty inefficient at marking up webpages (it took me hours of trial and error for parts that I feel like a normal web designer would take half an hour to do), so it's not something I'd advertise--and that's for your benefit rather than mine =P. But I am definitely willing to help as much as I can, with what I can of it =)
Android was more than a "mobile software company".

They were known at the time to be a re-assembly of parts of the Danger team working on a smartphone OS. To me, that's enough to know where Google's ambitions were pointing. The huge volume of "Google phone" rumors that started long before Android was unveiled says to me that plenty of other people saw that too.

I just don't see how, too anyone paying attention, "Google is working on a Danger-inspired smartphone OS" doesn't automatically imply "Google is working on something that could easily crash right into the iPhone."
I have to agree that the sense of the web being "unlimited" is becoming the norm, though the web will never be unlimited unless we break light speed and find a way to store unlimited data.
The text "turning Jobs down on making campaign" isn't in the article. It says "he’d become annoyed when Obama’s strategist David Axelrod wasn’t totally deferential" which makes it sound more like Jobs' issues were the barrier to cooperation.
Leaked Gmail redesign looks a lot like Facebook’s Message inbox
I also tried Emacs.app and Aquamacs. Aquamac's behavior was totally odd & didn't match any of the documentation. I found the Cocca Emacs.app to be much easier to set up and get running. That said, neither of them feel as good as MacVim, as far as native Mac apps go.
The poster is wrong. That guy is crazy too.
no I don't think so.

All they're saying is: "We're integrating Reader more tightly with G+ but if that integration offends you, here's how to take your data out."
Domain Adaptation with Hierarchical Naive Bayes Classifiers
What goes unstated is that Jobs' put his social beliefs above business. Obama is far from the ideal candidate to support if you'd like unions abandoned. And yet that is who Jobs' seemed to be rooting for.
The title here is misleading. The guy is asking if the unofficial google reader API is being retired, not if google reader is being retired. (Google reader is getting an overhaul to fit googles new design and some of the social bits are being moved to google+)
Yes, that one.

but it could reduce the drop in productivity the parents have when they leave work to pick them up? (just brainstorming).
OR it can provide for more customized learning/hands on experience for the individual kids.
So Chinese factories along with Chinese style education?

I strongly disagree. Finland leads the world in education because they provide individualised learning and teach critical thinking. The children start school there at a much later age too. They don't run a 9 hour a day, 11 month military camp for kids.

I'm also a big Vim guy and recently spent a few late nights hacking on some Clojure stuff. I tried to learn both Emacs and Clojure and eventually had to give up and just use Vim until I was more comfortable in Clojure.

At minimum, you need a easy way to paste top-level forms into a repl. This is the simplest way for Vim: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3023 That script is actually crazy useful & I now use it for a whole bunch of different use cases.

That said, the Emacs->Slime<->Swank<-Clojure bridge is really much better & think that I'm going to invest some more effort into becoming proficient at Emacs. My limited experiments with Slime were very positive & nothing in the Vim world even comes close. I tried all the various attempts in their current form as of two weeks ago. Most are hard to get running, don't work exactly right, struggle with subprocesses management, etc. And you're totally on your own with those, no warrantee and no maturity.

Having an app store is not enough... Was it popular, on the same order of magnitude as is the iPhone App Store? Inventing is nice, but making it appealing so that everybody wants to use it, finds it useful, thats what makes an impact. But okay I am fine with App Store not being considered a big innovation.

But multi-touch, inertial scrolling, mobile safari (With ability to zoom in and out of text), pinching to zoom, the idea of not wasting any space for keys, changing orientation of screen based on actual orientation, proximity sensor, visual voicemail, no carrier crapware, etc etc etc including the app store -- made the iPhone a major leap in smartphones -- that vaulted the whole industry an order or two of magnitude above where they were at that time -- I feel.

Android took all of this from the iPhone. In fact, Android as a phone is very similar to iPhone -- except for minor usability tweaks, and more flexibility to customize. I definitely think Android is a derivative product of the iPhone.
I hadn't seen even one of these before the iPhone (there were a few people who used them, but i would say their market share would be less than 1% in smartphones)

I think the rapid expansion of the smartphone market (led, in large part, by the iPhone) is tricking your eyes. Touch-screen smartphones were a significant part of the pre-iPhone smartphone market. But unless you were specifically paying attention to them, you wouldn't have seen that because the smartphone market was so much smaller back then.

I think it is not a fair allegation.Similarities are there but it is not copying.
It seems that there is a shift from PC gaming to console gaming... Here's me citing my single data point - Rage. id focused on the console experience above the pc experience, so when you have a predominately pc-driven company focusing on consoles, you feel that the industry is/has changed. That, and that current consoles are half way through their life-cycle according to MS/Sony, so new console designs are not slated until beyond 2015.

Graphics hardware companies like nvidia/amd will continue pushing the envelope though
They use custom license plates instead of medallions, but the effect is the same. I think a set of Melbourne taxi plates goes for around $500k these days - a quick search just found "a bargain - 485k!".

I really don't see where that much value is, beyond blocking potential competitors from the market.

Yeah, I don't understand the fuss. Google said that they were going to tightly integrate all their services with G+ and now they start following through and people start to bitch. They're doing exactly what they said they were going to and if anything the tighter integration is going to make G+ a much more attractive product.
Perhaps most relevant to the current United States political climate:

Steve Jobs was infuriated by “[Obama’s] focus on the reasons that things can't get done.”
Finland leads the world in education, and now they are building factories?!?

Don't look to China, look to Finland!
is there a way you can enter the users iphone from outside the App Store? If such a hack exists you can price your game say only 50 cents (for some limited levels) so that Apple gets to keep only 15 and open up the remaining levels or in game merchandise by charging the remaining 50 cents after the game has been downloaded. So in effect you can keep 85 cents of the dollar instead of 70 through a bullet subscription...
Aside from Blackberry and Nokia, weren't all smartphones before the iPhone touchscreen? Palm, Windows Mobile, Sony Ericsson UIQ...

Blackberry was never popular where I live, so I mainly saw touchscreen smartphones and Nokias (and I really hesitate to call the nokia symbian phones "smartphones")
The State of NY can veto pretty much anything the City of New York decides to do. Right now a bill to reform the livery car business to allow street hails outside of Manhattan is sitting in Albany.

There are small towns across the US whose mayors have more power than the mayor and council of NYC.
In the US there are plenty of summer programs for low income children. More important, summer is a time many kids work or be kids. This belief that he only place to learn is school is bunk. It is bad enough the amount of busy work students are assigned now (3+ hours) of homework a night. Adults get mad at our work / life balance, yet we seem bound and determined to heap soul destroying hours on our children. We need to get out of the mode we are raising factory workers and give children back some time to be creative and dream.

How can anyone justify putting children in a school for 10+ hours a day for 11 months? You wouldn't work that job and neither would I. Heck, in many countries it would be illegal to have an adult work those hours.
College & HS are pretty close in most states.
I would be interested in what studies this information comes from and what locales it was done in.
Yeah - I don't really expect any company to not fully co-operate with law enforcement showing up with a warrant in hand.

That raises two questions though.

1) How prepared should a company be to _require_ a warrant before handing over any of your personal data? There's a big spectrum between "Yes Agent Smith, we'll have that data ready for you as soon as you come back with a warrant", and falling for the "Hi, it's Dave - whats the root password" kind of social engineering trick.

2) Should they store that information at all? What would DuckDuckGo+ look like I wonder? It'd be nice to have a "social network" where you have a high confidence that they can answer "Sorry Agent Smith, we specifically never store that data on any of our users - would you like to see the source code that proved we don't?"
On the issue of manufacturing, there's actually alot of evidence about Chinese wages rising in skilled labor, converging with U.S. wages. The U.S. doesn't manufacture textiles or similar goods like China does, but even those jobs are moving to poorer countries than China.

This article [1] provides a succinct explanation:
"With Chinese wages rising at about 17 percent per year and the value of the yuan continuing to increase, the gap between U.S. and Chinese wages is narrowing rapidly… Products that require less labor and are churned out in modest volumes, such as household appliances and construction equipment, are most likely to shift to U.S. production...Support from state and local governments can tip the balance.”

Well, to be blunt, if you are going to get Picasso to design your logo you _don't_ art direct him. And you try your best not to piss him off. Because he's fucking Picasso...

You don't have to use what he makes, but if you want genius, and why else would you want Jobs and his team to design an ad, you ask politely and then get out of the way.

Edit: Somewhere online I read an article about Jobs getting
Paul Rand (edited from Milton Glaser) to design the logo for NEXT. Can't find with a quick Google search, but it was a fascinating read.
Your screenshot is one of a browser and a settings window, and a status bar at the top. My current android phone (running Android 2.5) has a browser and a settings window, with a status bar at the top.

My desktop browser can also point at google.com. It also has a status bar at the top, unrelated to the browser. I can also open up a browser-specific settings window and overlay it on the browser.

The guy on the macbook pro next to me also has a browser he can point to google, with settings overlay if he wants, and an unrelated status bar at the top.

Your screenshot does not make an argument.
The book The No Asshole Rule talks extensively about Steve, IIRC labeling him a certified asshole and discussing his management style. The conclusion I drew was Steve succeeded in part because he was more often charismatic but people were afraid of disappointing Steve and facing the asshole persona.

Heck, in a way I'm sure it was great working with him - I bet you always knew where you stood.

I'd argue if we better utilize the hours kids spend at school right now we can do all that without needing more hours.
Imagine if Steve Jobs had destroyed Windows back in the day because it was "a stolen product". Say what you want about Microsoft and Windows (I've been a die-hard Mac fan since birth), but they really drove the global personal computer revolution.

If it wasn't for Microsoft competing with Apple, we would be so far behind where we are today. E.g. Steve Jobs resisted making a computer with a separate monitor so hard, that if he wasn't pushed out of the company, Apple would never have released the Mac II. Now imagine that in a world where Apple also had a monopoly on the GUI.

Competition is good! Copy things and improve upon them, that's how we move forward.
Well, once you're in Finland, things can pretty much only go south... ;)
Microsoft may be bloated, but they also have an extremely wide variety of products.
I moved to Seattle from Chicago to work at Amazon. When people ask me how I put up with the rain in Seattle, I just reply back "how do you put up with the snow?"

Seattle has a great diverse ecosystem for outdoors enthusiasts - drive for an hour or so, and you can go skiing, hiking, swimming, camping and more.

Seattle has a great craft beer culture as well. Some of my favorite bars are: Brouwers, Uber, Naked City, Beveridge Place Pub and Collins Pub.

If you want authentic mexican, check out Oaxaca in Ballard. As for taco truck food, check out El Camion in the parking lot of Home Depot on 135th and I-99 Aurora as well as Taqueria Tequila on 85th.

For Chicago style stuffed pizza, check out Delfino's in University Village and stay far away from Kylie's in Fremont (ugh)...for normal pizza, try Serious Pie, Flying Squirrel and Via Tribunali.

For breakfast, try Beth's Cafe and CJ's (my favorite eggs benedict)

For italian, try Cafe Lago. Great pasta.

For sandwiches - my 2 favorite places are Salumi's where you should try the Mole & Mozz. Salumi's is a few blocks away from where the Seahawks play. Second place is Tat's where they have the town's best philly cheese steak sandwich.

For ice cream, Molly Moon's wins hands down. They are in Wallingford as well as Capitol Hill.

Enjoy!
With a brand like Lil Wayne, you don't need to spend money on advertising to gain FB users.

You're severely underestimating how popular these people are. Plus given their target markets ARE the social networking generation, getting them to "like" your pages is even easier.

It would be a waste of money to spend anything on trying to get FB fans when you can do it for free.
I agree, but we could do worse than to have "bcrypt" be the lay developer's default answer. All that is is annoying, whereas "secret salt construction using Whirlpool as the hash" or- whatever- craziness is actually dangerous.

Your code is neat. I don't care what hash you use. I'm just saying.

"I hate to ask this, but I have to: is Google preparing to retire Reader?"

Sounds to me like he's talking about Google Reader itself.
Sounds good to me, except the damn weather. My office is in Santa Monica and the weather is 70s, sunny, and never too humid. We keep the door and windows open and a cool ocean breeze blows in all day.

Silicon Valley has similar weather, so that would be easy, but I don't know if I could handle gloomy weather a big portion of the year.

Google's Santa Monica office is 6 blocks from the beach, same as ours.

Ok I got the irony. Sorry. The thing is having ideas is even easier than starting. But having a good idea barely prepares you to execute it. I'm very, very bad at social relationships so it's extra-hard for me to do something that involves motivating a community.

I'm still going to give it a shot though.
I couldn't agree more. If this report is true it makes me sad that Jobs would take this so personally. The iPhone and iPad were brilliant products that Jobs should have been proud of. They were so far ahead of the competition that it's inevitable that others would copy. It's not like this is the first time Apple has been copied. Everyone at Apple should be proud to have helped create the future, even if it is dominated by knockoffs, it's not like it's hurting Apple's bottom line to their detriment. To the contrary, having Android snapping at its heels has got to be pushing Apple to continue to innovate and do better. I would like to think that's what Jobs' vision would have been, and that taking personal offense at the copycats was just a knee-jerk response that would have mellowed over time.
