SEO: A 3 Step Program
Dear Potential SEO Clients, Please Don’t…
I had a HDD camcorder that was crippled. You could only mount the hdd in it as read only in the EU model, but r/w in the US model.

Apparently if they made it r/w in the EU it'd be classed as a VCR and have a big tax applied or something, so they had to cripple it.

These sort of laws need to go away.

>> For example, what is the goal of providing computer to poor rural students? Is it to make them computer proficient or Microsoft Office proficient?

I am no Microsoft supporter, but you have asked an important question here: If the long-term goal is to teach them Office, so that they can do administrative tasks etc. at their future workplaces (which are probably running Office2k on WinXP, based on my [anecdotal] observations), then Windows+Office training might actually be useful to them. Not everyone is being trained to become a programmer.
I’m not aware of any lawsuits in the US. Are you? As far as I know ZeniMax is currently only suing in Sweden.

(What good would it ZeniMax do if they were to win a lawsuit in the US, though? Mojang distributes digitally. Can US authorities block websites for trademark infringement?)
It is stable enough to be able to convert bitcoins to usd at predicted rate (marked is liquid enough - and this is where speculators are good evil).

I am converting to usd only part needed to pay suppliers and rest leave in coins for now. Agree, income is fluctuating. But I am ok with it since so far I did not see technical issues with bitcoins itself.

But you are right - as I said below, huge fluctuation (although, what time period you used for 1000% fluctuation claim?) is a problem. And I will welcome stabilization at any level. Although market is too small to be stabilized soon.

This. It's very well done and all, but what is the point? That if you explicitly allow access to one specific application, that application will have access? Or is the creepy guy supposed to be the app developer?

A better idea (maybe not possible, I dunno) might have been to have different things happen based on your privacy settings. That would actually call people's attention to something they should care about, instead of just fear-mongering to everyone regardless.
Me too. If you are interested in keeping it good, I can make you a mod.

4 Essential Tips for Conquering the App Development Process
They talk about tapping your smartphone to get an unmanned car to show up, but... Isn't that what a taxi is? Other than saving the cost of a driver, how does this really improve things?
Why not just even openly post it and make a note on their website that it is only for non-EU customers and also mention the reason and put a link to the exact law. Would that get them off the hook?
It really is infuriating how unnecessarily expensive and confusing Microsoft has made creating and exchanging simple document files. I talk to people all the time that are unsure about how they'll edit their resume on a new system or think they'll need a new copy of Office to update a file on their new computer (and then they're confused as to what version to buy). It's amazing how few normal people know about Google Docs - Google should really be pushing this on consumers more.

Microsoft might have made a lot of money off of this confusion, but in the process they've become the antithesis of "it just works" in a lot of people's eyes. They've made some of the most basic functions of computing an expensive pain in the ass for most of the PC era.
Smartphone futures – Thank You, Beep…
I can't get to the article, so I haven't read it yet and can't comment on it specifically. However, pre-emptive concern is not necessarily FUD. A little sabre-rattling can send a signal to manufacturers that they need to provide an option to disable secure boot or they will tick off a vocal customer base. Waiting until someone has actually locked out alternative operating systems is somewhat too late; the point is to prevent them from doing it in the first place.
It might, or it might get them in trouble. In their position there is no upside from doing it that way but plenty of potential downside.

For instance, one way in which that could be struck down is to use that message as a pretext to levy the fee anyway on this camera.

Would learning on Open Office and/or Google Docs really set them behind? The document metaphor is identical, all the core functions are the same.

Does Forbes.com have a print URL? I couldn't find one (did find a print.css which does almost nothing to optimize for printing), and I'd rather not encourage their splitting the article onto 4 separate pages by clicking through.
I'd definitely recommend linode, it may be unmanaged but their user guides are amazing, I've had no problems setting up a LAMP stack with SSL and Hardened PHP.

If you opt for Ubuntu server then the Aptitude package manager makes installing and updating software ridiculously easy.
Of course, now the question is: what are they going to do with this $250M? The only new feature that has really come out of Dropbox recently is the API, and even that has been in development for some time.
Not my experience. I tend to get hassled by PayPal a lot. Either they pressure me into using my existing account (which I often don't want to do, because it has all sorts of issues, lost passwords or whatever - I don't even want to think about it), or they want to pressure me into registering. Even if I don't register, they will send me email on a regular basis suggesting I do.

I'll probably end up using a new email address for every PayPal purchase I make (otherwise the almost unavoidable 'login with your email' problem), which means even more PayPal spam over time.

Most BitCoin vendors accept the payments before the blocks are confirmed. You only have to wait for the blocks if you want to be extra, super-sure. Likewise with credit cards the vendor can also not be 100% sure that they buyer won't just cancel later on or the credit card was a stolen one.

I rolled my eyes too, but the next three paragraphs put it in a reasonable light.

Two cables, one originating in the embassy at Hanoi and the other at the embassy in Tunis, throw enough light on the scale and nature of the government-corporation nexus in the United States and its influence on world governments.

According to one of the cables, the US government ‘intervened’ to force Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dzung to sign an agreement with Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer that would require Hanoi to pay Microsoft $20 million for 3 lakh licences. This even though the Vietnamese PM wanted to hold the Microsoft deal as a deliverable till he met the US president later that year.

Now put that deal in an Indian context where 68 lakh licences would be required under Jayalalithaa’s ambitious free laptop scheme and the business of diplomacy becomes clear. The Microsoft deal of 3 lakh licences was dubbed in the cable as ‘the most significant agreement Vietnam has ever signed with a US business’.

The wikileak in question is pretty damning - http://www.cablegatesearch.net/cable.php?id=04HANOI966

"Microsoft representatives also highlighted their
concerns about recent GVN comments that it plans to switch
to open source software (like Linux) to "fix" its IPR
problems. While acknowledging that the decision on what
type of software the GVN wants to use is up to the
Government... Switching to open source does not insulate the
GVN from the responsibility of ensuring that all software
used by the GVN is legitimately licensed, Microsoft asserted"

It sounds like they know how to throw their weight around in the developing world.
I'm still using a D70s as my primary camera, but I have to say, when Nikon released it's first camera that supported ISO 6400, they made available full resolution JPGs. You could see a bit of noise if you looked really hard for it, but, it effectively wasn't there. I can only imagine that 25,600 ISO is almost just as good as that. And, quite frankly, it's simply amazing.

As a paying Dropbox user, one of the things I most appreciate about them is how they are slow and cautious about rolling out new features, placing more importance on keeping the software stable, reliable, and reasonably fast.

I also use Evernote, which is a stark contrast. They roll out new features so quickly that it usually has many bugs and I have to learn a new interface ever year. I don't trust Evernote with anything critical (and I don't pay them) as a result. Just miscellaneous notes (To be fair, the Windows client finally seems to be stable and without any more glaring bugs).

One simple thing they could do with the $250m is to simply scale the business. They have had the same price structure in place from the start and are perceived as somewhat expensive at this point as competitors continue to lower prices. Lowering Dropbox prices will attract more paying customers which I'm guessing could be economical if they were 5-10x their current size.

Here are some bugs on my iPhone 3G:

Screen flickers between the black and white (background/foreground) while scrolling.

Since you can't scroll to an arbitrary position (you are locked into some jump stops), sometimes the block of text is just too big and you have to choose between reading the beginning or end of the paragraph (or trying to read while scrolling, peeking under your thumb).

Not everyone is being trained to become a programmer.

Why do you assume using Linux means you are training to be a programmer?

Personally, I have installed Ubuntu Linux on friends' "old" laptops that have gotten "too slow" for Windows upgrades. Instead of being thrown out, these machines are still being used for common tasks such as internet browsing and e-mailing.

Ideally, a non-profit - if there isn't one already - could install a Linux distribution on an "older" machine and give those to low-income students in the States. (How often do government agencies cycle through machines? What happens to those old machines?)
It actually seems like Dart didn't reuse anything in GWT, other than 'lessons learned' - if it did, it would have the GWT compiler's dead code elimination, optimizations, dev mode, story of your compile, code splitting, etc.

I'm guessing it wouldn't be a good match because Dart is fundamentally closer to a dynamic language than a statically typed language

The similarities to java seem to come from conservatism in language design more than anything else.

Because generally you don't merely right click. You right click and then have to navigate a small menu of options to find the one you want. The big button on the ribbon is a huge target and is generally easier for users to hit and click.

And for some reason, I personally find right-clicking with a track-pad much more difficult than right clicking with a mouse, although I haven't taken a lot of time to analyze why as I generally use a desktop machine with mouse.
