Some of this is politics, and thus usually lousy for HN. But the extreme level of violence and abuse; coupled with effective Internet action, makes it a mildly interesting HN topic.

Ask anyone who accesses the web through a screen reader and they’ll tell you it’s extremely useful. Not to be flippant, but well structured markup allows a screen reader to:

* Emphasise headings

* Allow users to skip past header sections automatically

* Ignore information unrelated to the content (aside sections)

* Allow users to navigate by heading structure

* Voice certain parts differently - links are an obvious candidate, but screen readers could put on different voices for quotes

* Etc etc etc.

I din't pull out a microscope, but I did wonder why they didn't implement this for all the lights (battery-level indicators on the side, charging indicators on the power supply connector).
This is a great proof of the strategic advantages of totally controlling your operations. In the start you are at disadvantage, but if you manage to gain steam you end up with a competitive advantage that is almost unfair.

In Apples case this strong position is not only visible in the supply chain management but it is clearly present in all their stack. Another example is their supremacy in software.

I think that this is one of the great lessons from Steve Jobs, takin your time to control and develop everything internally it is feasible competitive approach.
You can see them with the naked eye, if you look from about 5-10cm away. (and, presumably, if you have excellent vision or are near-sighted)
The other thing is just how many units Apple ships. They have to go with multiple suppliers at times just to have enough parts in the first place. You're talking about a company that buys a significant proportion of the world's NAND flash production a year ahead of time.
"...Norisuna had a comparison table that showed the Pandaboard cloud (OMAP4 @ 1GHz – 12 Cores) uses 4x times space and 5x less power (50W vs. 257 W) than a Xeon 1.8GHz Quad Core server with about the same amount of processing power and memory (6GB vs. 8GB)...."

any data to back up that claim? Is that just raw MHz or real benchmarks?

As only a minor nitpick (my excuse is that this is my day job), you've got it the wrong way round - REDCODE is actually storing data as RGB, whereas 'every other camera' is almost certainly using a MPEG-based codec and storing it as YUV with chroma subsampling - somewhere between 4:1:1/4:2:0 to 4:2:2 depending on the camera in use.

As with any lossless compression, it's a compromise between having almost all of the data shot to work with versus pretty much having to always do a full grade on any content you get and the additional online storage space needed in post-production.
Not only that, but it would probably weaken the strength of the lid considerably. Imagine holding your macbook air in a certain way and, when you put it down, finding you've made a thumb-print dent in the lid...

I've never done a pitch. However I have recently gained weight through a weight training programme (with a careful eye on nutrition).

Reading yours it left me thinking.

1. How would it make money.

2. There's a load of information out there on gaining weight how would you compete with that. (How are you going to acquire traffic).

3. Where's your expertise, you didn't mention how much weight you put on or what you learned.
You need to read what I wrote. I don't care about people disagreeing with me! I care that my posts got massive downvotes. I wasn't snarky or anything, I was stating what I see as an inconsistency and fanboys responded by just voting down all my posts.

No, the people I'm calling "Android fanboys" are the people who mass-downvoted me for stating something they didn't want to hear. On reddit I would expect this and go with it. It's appalling to see that kind of thing happening here.
If I remember correctly from the BBC article I read on it, it's not "earlier than thought", but earlier than we had proof for. Other non-human remains have already placed humans in Europe around that time.

"Apple then has the power, if any app is found to be malware, to shut it down remotely, immediately"

Actually I don't think this will work. They can "shut it down" in the sense that they can keep new installs from happening. But if the malware is already installed it controls the machine, so it can simply ignore the "kill switch" for itself.

"People are symbol processors"

No.

"Since most people aren't "haute" designers it becomes difficult to relate to and use their designs."

No.

It's easy to judge how realistic or beautiful a face is, but much harder to draw it. Similar concept with design.

I think you're making a fundamental assumption that design/drawing/visual disciplines are symbol-based, when they are not symbol-based.

I highly suggest reading "Drawing on the right side of the brain". I've studied art, and in every drawing class something along the lines of "No, symbols are bad, boo egyptian eyes, switch to the right side of the brain" was said at some point.

I'm not a Walmart hater, but as I understand, the company requires their suppliers to open their books for the inventory they sell to Walmart. If the company "makes more money", Walmart will squeeze them to lower their wholesale cost, but that won't necessarily be passed to the consumer.

Essentially, if you get in bed with Walmart, you will make the money you want in the short term, but eventually, if you want to keep that money coming in, you will lose control of your pricing.

This doesn't even get into exclusivity requirements for products, etc.

See Snapper lawn mowers, for some insight to this process.

>But since this projecting of faults is itself a fault that you've perceived in others, your maxim applies to you.

What I've perceived is that when people accuse others of certain kind of behavior it is often because they think that way themselves (and therefore recognize it, even if the other party does not). My assumption makes no statement about me in regards to the accusation (racism for example). You might say it makes me judgmental, but no more than you if you believe A's accusation (or if you don't for that matter).

>"it takes one to know one" might not actually be robustly true.

I don't use it as "set in stone" proof of a person's character. I use it as a starting point. And it doesn't work for everything. Accusing someone of being a "socialist", for example. The game wont work in that case because the accuser probably doesn't think they've seen actual socialist behavior (and usually have no idea what "socialist behavior" is in any case). They are using it purely as a smear.

I think it's a valid idea. I'm not aware of anything similar to this. I can see it shining especially for clients finding experts in less popular technologies.

1) Platform must be recognizable by clients - those certificates has to be acknowledged.
2) A few popular open source projects should join with their products

It's not about stop motion, it's about discovery and distribution ("going viral").

Although I'm not sure about that. Several MTV-age music videos became famous because of clever technique (such as "Money for Nothing") and Honda commercial was a regular TV-commercial. Especially Super Bowl commercials are know to be high-value productions pre-Internet.
I don't know how mac "apps" work, but if we assume it can gain full control over the os, there's really only one thing they can do: "anchor" the checks in hardware.

The way it (supposedly) works is that you have a hardware chip that checks the bios, which checks the boot loader, which checks the os, which checks the apps etc.. The goal is that you'll have to modify the actual hardware chip in order to "crack" the os. Sounds great, but has a lot of challenges in practice.

Why Web Development Is Necessary For Online Business
Apple do a nice combination of controlling operation, with open(relatively) ecosystem.

They use the rapid response of a huge open ecosystem of software developers, while still having a lot of control.They do it this way because in software , time to market is very important.

For the hardware part, which normally changes less often(slower phone buying cycle,phones are integrated and not modular like PC's, relatively long time before new electronic components become mass market) and time to market is less important(relative to software) , they use a closed ecosystem, in order to extract most of the profit.
>the company requires their suppliers to open their books for the inventory they sell to Walmart.

They do. And they'll start making demands about how you run your business (e.g. "stop buying this local, you need to buy it from China and here are a list of companies we recommend you use"). You will have lots of sales through Walmart but you have to be careful that they don't destroy your business on a whim. See Dill Pickle Co for an example.
We're doing counter-factuals. So what if it's not "never met", but "never went into to business together". Is it really hard to believe that fate could have conspired in such a way that Woz and Jobs didn't become business partners? Was the universe really curved in such a way to inevitably push Woz and Jobs to start Apple together?

You make a post this ignorant and then tell others to do research? Amazing. I worked at Walmart head office for years and I can tell you that vendors deal with Walmart because they have no choice. Walmart is a horrible place to do business with and various vendors quit them because of their behavior (e.g. Snapper).

And it's Walmart who hates unions. Their profit depends on exploiting human labor as much as possible, so they don't like anything that gives workers a fairer shake.
The Wikipedia page of REDCODE claims that it contains the Bayer-patterned subpixel data, so it's more comparable to RAW images than rendered RGB images. But according to that page, it's also lossy format, which makes it quite interesting technically.

I bet Peter Jackson cared about $3600/day when he filmed Bad Taste.
Or even for LOTR, that would have cost $1.5m over the trilogy, which is about 0.5% of their budget (or possibly more since they would have needed more than one camera) - so not that significant, but money that could be better spent elsewhere.

So to simplify even more, Apple doesn't have to maintain "large, profit-sapping inventories" because they can just force their suppliers to do that instead?
You seem to be quite passionate about the ethical or aesthetically pleasing way to implementing following in a web application. Passion is cool, but I'd encourage you to think of what HN would be like if two ways to think about user following routinely resulted in "Please get off the Internet."

I do not necessarily disagree with your normative beliefs here. I'm just saying, as a positive statement of empirical reality, an application which is designed to work like the one you have described will perform worse than one which works like the emerging standard of autoinvites. Measurably worse. It's kind of like Girl Wearing A Headset photos: without saying they're either pleasing or tacky, one can make the observation that they've been tested to death hundreds of times and they generally increase conversion rates.

>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.

I disagree here. In the case of humans, it doesn't cost much to put fire extinguishers at regular intervals and have people just use them in the case of a fire. If a first starts we'll notice it. On a computer, it won't "just notice". You would have to have some virus scanner scanning every action all the time. This is what makes Windows so much slower and I would really hate to see it come to Mac.

I wish the SELinux approach would become more popular.
I think Apple's supply chain management is a greater competitive advantage than their product design.

There are many factors beyond the quality of product that go into a purchasing decision - things like hype, accessibility, and most importantly, price.

Apple never had much a problem with great design or building hype, but the real reason for their success over the last 15 years has been their ability to provide customers better access to their products and to provide them at more competitive prices.

The iPhone is ( by most accounts ) a superior product to the Blackberry. However, no one was going to buy an iPhone for $900, and without this impressive supply chain, Apple wouldn't be able to get the profit margins they want at $600 ( or $200 subsidized, which is also supply chain management ).

Product is important, and as a culture that builds things, HNers tend to focus on that ( the green light conversation in these comments being proof of that ), but all the logistics of how a product is delivered are just as important as the product itself - and maybe more so - in building a successful company.

"The simple Apple logo against a plain backdrop provides a clean advertisement for Apple. Removing the logo removes the distinctiveness of the computer when it is turned off."

It still took them a while to put them on the right way up. The first few laptops they sold with the Apple logo on the lid, they were oriented so they were "right way up" for the user when the lid was closed. That made them all upside down in all those tech conference shots from the stage...
