I think the beauty comes from the simplicity of it. To a casual viewer, it's just a cute music video. It's when you realize the amount of work and attention to detail that went into it, that you have the emotional reaction that says "wow, they really cared about this". It's the same reaction I have with many of Apple's products. They look simple from a distance, but when you zoom in, you see a team of 30 people hand placing jelly beans to make something beautiful.
Not bad at all. I've been through this a couple of times.

Generally, you are a lot more likely to be successful with something fun or entertaining than with tools and utilities. Now you can use the success of your chrome extension to promote other apps you've built!

The first time I saw that I actually took my laptop apart to see how it was done. It was just one of the simple features that I really enjoyed about my laptop. It just showed an attention to detail that no other manufacturer has yet to follow.

The problem with HTML is that it tries to simultaneously solve two completely different problems:

1) How do I provide data in a meaningful, semantic, machine-readable format?

2) How do I display data in a web browser, on a phone or in print? Do I use columns? What type of navigation options should I provide to the user in this instance?

XML solves (1). XSLT/HTML (as a UI layout description format only) can solve (2).

Attempts to merge the two concepts together will end in certain failure.

Most of the time. But years of high school and college trained me to take notes with my hand. Trying to focus on what people are saying and use a keyboard just feels too hard.

And yet I still don't want to give up all the advantages of electronic (vs paper) notes. I'd run to get a tablet with a really, really good stylus (I had high hopes for the HTC Flyer, but... maybe a future ICS tablet will get it right).
You have a valid point about having friends in the app. However I'd imagine that there's a more elegant way of accomplishing this. I realize I'm a rare use case but I have thousands of Facebook friends many of which I don't want to know everything they're up to. I'd imagine many other people don't want to know everything all of their Facebook friends are doing. Perhaps someone should complete a more detailed study on this :)

Why I Don't Watch the News
Its not that you differ on how to reach your audience. Its that you felt you had to call someone out on their personal blog post for using the word "shit". And while not everything in your life has to do with your employer, certainly your personal attitudes determine what kind of company you work for. Zach works for a start-up, shaking up the world of software development. You work for Microsoft, the living example of status-quo, monopolizing, our-way-or-the-highway. So, thanks for spending your time telling us we shouldn't use the word "shit", and that we should use "the Microsoft stack".

Update: it just dawned on me that perhaps you thought i was suggesting that you were "attacking" Zach in some Microsoft vs GitHub proxy. No that's not what I meant at all. I'm saying its funny that the roles in this comedy, "grumpy old man" vs "uncouth upstart", neatly match the roles of your employers.

The problem with revoking certificates for websites is: how do you know when to check if a certificate is black-listed? You can't download a list of blacklisted certificates, because who would keep track of them all, and how huge would the database be? Some certificates include the URL of a 'revocation list' which allows the browser to check if that certificate has been revoked, but if the browser checks each certificate that it sees then suddenly Verisign's revocation list server becomes a single-point-of-failure for half the Internet, and that's no good either.

Signing certs for Mac software would be different because there is exactly one central signing authority (Apple), so batch-downloading a list of revoked certs is feasible - bundle them with your monthly security patch updates, for example.

It seems a common idea so far here and in most places is that 'not swearing' is inherently a religious side-effect. I have friends who are not religious and maintain their concepts of good, clean speech, of valuing what they say.

Two of the most proficient users of profanity I know are a pair of linguists, mother and daughter. They are both heavily passionate about the English language and will engage on the topic for hours at length if you let them. Both think that books are sacred and have groaning bookshelves. The mother was an editor for a very long time and has articles in peer-reviewed journals on the topic, the daughter is a speech pathologist. They are very proficient in English, and know the science and arts behind it, far more than the vast majority. They are proficient in getting communication across in a variety of ways, and both of them regularly use profanity in casual speech.

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.

A phone and a laptop 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.

What I see with App Store sandboxing is a way to allow people to more easily try and buy apps without worrying what those apps are doing to their computer. I'm very careful about downloading and trying apps on my Mac because I don't know what files they're going to leave around on my computer or worse. Sandboxing in the App Store is a great way to make that situation better.

Not if I can help it.

I mostly do medium-scale (5-50 people) C++ development. There are two main mode of debugging that I fall into: 1) I just wrote some code. Does it actually do what I planned? Let's see where it goes in practice. 2) Some code I've never seen before just screwed up. What the hell is just happened? OMG What the hell is all this stuff?

It helps that games are largely "while(1) doMainLoop();" kinds of apps as opposed to event-driven, asynchronous, multi-process, distributed, interpreted, whatever apps. It also helps that, as much as I can, I work in Visual Studio. The debugger works easily, reliably, continuously. It's faster for me to casually browse through deeply nested data structures than it is to type "print foo.x, print foo.x.bar". Data breakpoints are god-sent. "Break, change a variable and continue" is really nice for tweaking and quick-and-dirty testing. "Break and move the instruction pointer" is great for re-running a rare screw-up or skipping over code that would kill the process you are deep in the middle of debugging.

It seems to me that most of the people who rail against debuggers fall into A) working on systems that are not amenable to debuggers, B) stuck with very poor debuggers or none at all, or C) don't need debuggers because they either working alone on very small code bases or have dedicated many years of their life to absolutely understanding a every line of a single, slowly changing code base.

I used to work in a hospital with children forming half our patient load. One of my fellow technicians was annoyed because she was saying 'sugar' instead of 'shit' at home now, and it didn't have the same cathartic feel to it.

We used to play around with finding good 'child-safe' profanity. My favourite was 'sweet chilli chicken', which has a nice cadence to it. "Sweet chilli chicken, what do you think you're doing!?". It's a little long, but it worked for a short while...

People are forgetting that as consumption apps move to the iPad/iPhone, more of the people left on the Mac will need the extra power of a non-locked-down environment.

Apple's goal is still to sell hardware. As long as they can create a newbie-safe experience on the Mac without locking out people who need to tinker, it buys them nothing to do so.
Google could still uniquely identify sites while protecting your privacy by sending a hash of the URL from your browser, rather than the full URL itself, and comparing that hash to the hashes of all +1ed sites.

Not only that, I reckon I would tend to fantasize about leaving every time I got upset, whereas without that choice I might give up such feelings faster.

Same here. Once I figured it out, I wondered why they don't ever use the same technique to expose the Apple logo on the lid of the laptop - so that the lid is perfectly flush/clean when the screen is closed but the Apple logo is shown during use.

...now I know the answer: the lasers are so expensive and in such short supply it would presumably create a bottleneck in the production - esp given the surface area of the logo and thus the amount of holes needed.

Say 'People who are really serious about making and selling a product should make their own production, supply and store chains' or 'People who are serious about their product should take ownership of all stages of that product.'

The real problem with revocation lists for websites is that there is no secure channel to transfer them over. You can't transfer them over SSL because you don't know which certs you shouldn't trust until you get the list.

If someone is alreay man-in-the-middling you with a cert you trust, they can easily filter the revocation lists that you download.
Hi, your copy is really confusing.

I didn't understand what your business did until I read the comment here on HN. My suggestions:

Your H1 copy should be something that tells me exactly what you do and how it benefits me. Ex: "Save $$$ on long distance calls to anywhere in North America"

Your H2 could then be: "Phonerifique is a pre-paid phone service with rates as low .05c/min! Call anywhere in the US and Canada for cheap."

Good luck!

One more thing: How come their service is called easy and requires sign up before anything? It is simple question really...

I am pretty certain that there are other file sending services that ask you for signup after you decide to send file.
Not to mention that, while it would be cool and notable (and maybe worth it for that alone) making the logo invisible when the computer is turned off eliminates a marketing opportunity. 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.

Also, I'm not sure how the computer would look without a logo interupting it. I guess almost every other manufacturer comes close to this, but I think an Apple computer would feel wrong with a a view of unbroken alumninum.
