> Using the burning framework (cd & dvd burning)

I wouldn't be surprised if this was intentional. I'm sort of picturing Apple killing off the 17 inch Pro, 13 inch Pro, Mac Pro, and then slimming down the iMac and 15 inch Pro by removing the optical drive. They are done with optical media. It wouldn't shock me at all to see DVD Player removed from 10.8.

> Interfacing with Apple Remotes

Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure this ability was removed with 10.6. I can't control anything besides built in Apple apps on my Mac with my Apple Remote unless I install Remote Buddy + Candleair, which restores 3rd party access to the Apple Remote by using an alternate driver.

A phone and a tablet are two different things, and it makes sense to lock down one in a way that it doesn't make sense to lock down the other. There is no indication that Apple doesn't understand that...
Sadly there is not change log. I just scrolled through the doc and could not find any features. All this seems to be from 1.3.0 is bug fixes which make it a patch? Please correct me if I'm wrong and I missed something awesome ;)
I read from the fingers of a farm owner about Wal-Mart regularly doing things like committing to buy all of a farm's output of some crop, setting a pickup date, then being days late and refusing to pay for what spoiled in the crates waiting for the truck that didn't come.
Color eInk isn't being done because nobody is willing to bet the farm on it. Everybody knows color eInk would be cool, and we DO need someone like Apple to step forward and say "You know what, color eInk would be cool! And here's a billion dollars, make it happen!"
The application sandbox should be considered like not storing credit card info on your system... you could do it but you open yourself to security problems. As a developer, you should opt into entitlements because it means that your application will be less likely to have a problem in the future.

This is also similar to dropping privileges in unix: if you need sudo to start up, you drop it as soon as possible so that a compromised binary doesn't lead to root access for the malware.

They are like fire doors. They don't prevent the fire, they just limit the damage. Anything that encourages developers to adopt the sandbox model is good, however I would say that requiring them everywhere is probably biting off more than they can chew. Furthermore - as Wil explained - being fast with the fire extinguisher is probably a better tactic than trying to monitor and disallow all things that may lead to fire.
Sounds like a nice niche startup to me

Actually, I think that the sleep-light on the MacBook Pros came first. The small bar of light that's right next to the IR receiver on the front-right of the body.

That bar is actually a series of those small holes to let the light through. The green light for the metal casing came later IIRC.
Actually there is another option which is to store emails on a secure webserver instead of sending them, and send "you've got mail" notifications instead. There are some usability issues such as message threading and what not, but technically this is much simpler to set up than the conventional encrypted email.

From the article, I liked this view:

The value of a social network seems to map
proportionally to the perceived value of its
main object. (Examples: sharing best-of-web links on
Metafilter or sharing hi-res photos on Flickr or
sharing video art on Vimeo or sharing statuses on
Twitter/Facebook or sharing questions on Quora.)
If you want a community with stronger ties,
provide more definition to your social object.

And I think this is exactly the problem Google+ faces. Nobody knows exactly what it is, unless viewed in the light of Facebook. Basically Google is starting to behave like Microsoft, slapping the Windows and .NET keywords on every product.

What I don't like about the new Reader interface is that compared to the old interface it makes it hard for me to actually read. It uses tons of whitespace, not enough contrast and for example the fact that the article is not separated from the left menu with a visible line is freaking annoying. My eyes move from left to right and then carriage return when reading and the lack of a visible line makes it hard for my eyes to stop before reaching the menu, on every single line. And in comparison with the new GMail design, Reader does not have a "Compact Display Density" option, which makes it seem like a half-baked attempt to me.

However, it is still my RSS reader because the alternatives suck. Just as Flickr is still my photo archival and sharing service because the alternatives suck.

And this brings me to another point: I'm sad that Flickr is stagnating, but on the other hand I'm glad that it is because a company can fuck up its products really badly. And I also wish Google wouldn't have touched Reader, or GMail for that mater. I like Google+, but I don't get why they have to have a unified design. GMail is GMail, Reader is Reader, Google+ is Google+, Picasa is Picasa. And sure, make sharing work between them, but pretending that everything is one big unified product will bring everything down to a common denominator, taking away value. And OMG, how Google can suck at design.

Also, do note that the next product to receive upgrades will be Picasa. And I'm pretty sure they'll fuck with this one too. That's because in the context of sharing on Google+, archiving GBs of your personal photos is no longer an important use-case.
It’s still clearly recognizable as a button. That’s all that matters.

Niche Marketing... Are You Clearn on How It Works?
Thanks for the update. Point taken, and touché. That is funny/ironic. Would be equally as much were I to work at Apple, Amazon or Google, I suppose.

I spoke to Zach beforehand and wasn't intending to call him out (which I thought I made clear in the post, but it sounds like I did poorly) but rather than use his post as an example of changing mores in this space and a opporunity to provoke discussion.

Aside: I won't try to defend Microsoft as it's 80,000 people and many, many groups, some less evil than others. That said, our group is the slightly less evil, open source, free as in beer part of Microsoft. We'll be speaking at http://krtconf.com next week on an open source realtime library we're having lots of fun with.

> It's a total and utter misconception that 'people who really care about language don't swear'. Anyone spending time with passionate linguists, speech pathologists, and English Lit enthusiasts will know that use of profanity is not uncommon amongst that demographic.

That isn't quite what I was implying. There is a difference between being aware of how beautiful languages are and being able to mechanically use them well and those who value what they say and the effect of them.

An example is, I have a friend in the Philippines who when speaking while she does not have an exhaustive vocabulary (I'm not talking about English but her native tongue), as she is from the lower class and most simply use the conversational version of their dialect, obviously valued what she said and would do her to best to simply speak well, convey her ideas, have tact, etc.

Then there are those I know who do care for what they say though swear as well so we return, apparently, simply to one's opinion of profanity. Out of that comes understanding and respect. People who have been in support of this person's blog post have been told to loosen up, implied that they're puritants, mocked, etc. I've seen the same happen in other respects like at university I overheard a group of people commenting about another student because she chose to dress well and not reveal half her body and they said she was a religious nut and other derogatory things. Funny thing is, she's not religious.

Here and elsewhere people have said, basically, "I'm going to swear and I don't care if you're offended" and while I find the concept of being offended usually ridiculous it shows a lack of understanding.
I would like to see this project, I hope that you have some kind of minimal install that can be extended on a 'need' basis. I'm getting tired of installs (e.g. Fedora, Ubuntu) where many things are standard installed even if you do not need them so currently I'm doing a LFS (linux from scratch) where I can decide what to install as applications etc. I also like a minimal use of resources so I have more at my disposal for actual work (that is what I liked about xubuntu and lubuntu) so I wonder how much CPU and momory all your 'beautiful' needs, I'm hoping not to much because I do like a nice looking desktop (even when I want it minimal)

>1) If a post gets a lot of traffic from twitter and other such social media websites ,it should work against it in the rank calculation algorithm.

If you could find a way to do this, I think it could make HN better in general. The problem is that it'd be a whack-a-mole situation. This is just how publicity works. If you know people, and you are trying to get the word out about something, you tell the people you know, and they help you out. This is what it means to have a network.

I mean, it's kindof interesting; I mean, I talk about the problems of "who you know rather than what you know" but you know what? when I go to look for a job, who do I ask? the people I know. And it usually nets me a pretty good job. When I want to hire people, where do I look? the people I know, and often it gets me good people.

But yeah; in other situations, that's called nepotism, and has some rather large perverse incentives. I mean, in my case, I wholly own my company, so if I want to hire my siblings, well, it's my money, right? And sometimes, I think it makes sense. I've been trying to outsource my bookkeeping type work for some time now. But the primary qualifications are trustworthiness and diligence, and, well, switching bookkeepers when you want to do as little of the bookkeeping work as I do is rather hard, so I'd also like someone who will stick around longer than most people stick with me. Certainly for the first, who can I trust more than my sister? and I know she's pretty diligent; we grew up together. Add to that, she has a degree in fine arts and few job prospects that can pay more than I can, so it's all around a win.

Giving you the option to allow the app to do the grunt work is fine.

But just doing it, without asking, (and without an option to turn it off?) is just slimey and stupid.
For those who didn't know the name change it was called Receivd (http://receivd.com).
Neither point makes much sense. No matter when payouts are made, Groupon keeps around 40% (an extraordinarily lucrative business). I'm not exactly sure what you're getting at regarding conversion rates. From a merchant perspective Groupon offers the unheard of conversion rate of 100%. Every single prospect generates a sale and the vast majority walk through the door.
Thanks for this (and thanks to 100k, too!)

Pretty interesting -- if this goes through it seems like you could experiment with funding models somewhere between normal angel investing and the tiny bites that Kickstarter usually deals in.

Hmmm. Saving a document is just making a record of the changes. With that in mind, some ideas:

-record/disc (as the round image is generally universal, even inside floppies)
-page (as in a document, as in to record something)
-a red circle (talk about universal, just grey it out when no changes are detected)

Or create a new symbol, say, two arrows overlapping, one pointing down, the other right. (Here and forward. And yes, I know not everyone uses those directions to mean those things, but I like the red circle more anyway.)
Given two competing startups, one which starts users with a blank slate and one which a) gives them instant content when they sign up and b) manipulates them into continuing to use the application via using social proof and peer pressure, it is highly likely that only one of them will survive long enough to get geeks complaining about it. I know which one I'm betting on.

Consider it from this angle: you can undo this default for exactly the same amount of work you're proposing to subject everyone to: for each friend, manually select your desired state of followed or unfollowed. You're not going to actually do that, because it's a stupid amount of work and despite being motivated enough to write a blog post you're just not that into this app. To a close approximation, only freaks and geeks care enough about software to go through a multi-hour setting tweaking session prior to actually receiving value.

You can test this if you have an application you don't care about destroying user growth for: have them do lots of pointless work on the first user experience. See what it does to activation rates. A/B test "Do lots of gruntwork" versus "App does the pointless makework for you" if you want some statistical rigor.

P.S. If having one's monkey brain hacked on disconcerts you, stay far away from social software, because that is the whole game plan.
Using Facebook/Twitter/Any-Other-Existing-Login is a good way to speed up the experience for new users, however, this should then create a new profile and always give the users a choice on how they login/maintain their profile with you.
What I am fumbling to get across is that good vs. evil is a far too simplistic model to even remotely fit reality. Everybody exist and works within extremely complicated systems and relationships. And to make it even more confusing, we tend to think short-term when we judge others but long-term when we make our own decisions. And almost all differences in opinions comes down to short-term vs long-term thinking.

Imagine these three poor guys now fighting for survival while battling Apple in court. It is to me not at all unimaginable that they some day find a 12 year old boy standing outside their restaurant with a sack of apples, selling them to by-passers for a dollar each. And that they proceed to kick the boy away with snide remarks about how he should know better. I can also imagine a bystander asking them, "Why would you do that, there is no harm to your restaurant from a boy selling apples outside" and them replying "Yeah he's a nice kid. But if we let him be the municipality might think that it is us that are selling fruit in the street. We already had problems with our business permit, and with this huge Apple litigation on top of it, we don't want any more trouble."

The bystander thinks that in short-term there is no harm at all having a kid outside selling apples. The restaurant owners think long-term and decides that they don't want it to be the beginning of a development they can't control. Both perspectives are valid although as outsiders we think that the long-term risks the restaurant owners worry about are grossly overstated and we don't have the insight to begin with. But they might be right to take a small risk of bad publicity to mitigate what they see as big risk in months or years to come. Nobody knows beforehand.

It is not that they (Apple or our imaginary restaurant owners) are forced to take this course of action. But they act in a system where they see it as the right thing to do. And that doesn't make them evil. Evil would be to go out of their way to harm others for no other reason than the inherent joy in doing so. It doesn't fit into my world view that Apple or any large corporation is doing that [insert specific exception to that rule here for a clever pun, i.e. "except Facebook, they are evil to the bone"].

And: I'm not saying that the imaginary situation above is exactly the same as the real one here. It is just an illustration of how we as bystanders never really knows what goes into a decision.
