Between an unevenly lit screen and unusable trackpad, no magsafe connector and sharp case edges, it doesn't matter what hardware specs are being offered at any price, Asus missed the mark on 2 of the 3 primary means of interacting with the computer. I wouldn't want that computer if it were free.

On the level of a $1000-$2000 purchase, details matter and the Asus Zenbook just fails here. It doesn't matter that it has twice as much SSD space and RAM as the MBA because, I don't want to use a device that has a bad screen and bad trackpad.
> It only tangentially refers to the main problem, which is that currently Italy (and Greece and Spain) are tied to a single currency, and they do not have a currency of their own to devalue to deal with this crisis. e.g. see

Honestly, having your own currency wouldn't help one bit when all the credits you've taken are in an another currency. Look at what happened to Argentina at the end of the '90s, no matter how much they devalued the Peso they still had to eventually default, because the credits they had were not in Peso.

I cannot understand why people like Krugman and most of the other economists don't bring up this point when raising issues like "it would all have been fine if the Greeks had stick to using their own currency".

IANAL and this really only applies to US law anyways, but isn't it a registered trademark that he doesn't have? That is, I thought trademarks accrued naturally just like copyright, but that registering them made it much easier to enforce claims. In this case the violation is clear and egregious enough that I wouldn't presume he couldn't win a trademark infringement case.

I don't do well working from home. I love the freedom that it provides, but that freedom is a double-edged sword. I'm definitely one with a 25 minute focus limit and the time between those good focus sessions tends to last a little too long.

I've also found that when working from home, I crave that social interaction. I'm in the creative business and some of the best ideas I've ever had have come through collaboration with coworkers.

I love the idea of working from home. I just don't know if it will ever work for me.
We've built a bunch of SmartTV apps. I've seen nothing but pain from those who go the Flash route on these devices. Samsung in particular - were you going AIR or Stagecraft (full flash 10.1 isn't supported on 2009 devices) route?

The problem with Flash on these devices has always been Adobe's support (or lack thereof) is a requirement. Samsung and LG don't have the ability and won't help with any issues with the Flash player (unlike the HTML engines which they support) and Adobe has been stretched too thin trying to support all these devices.

I like the arguments. I had to fight my family as well when making any ventures. Will they be fruitful? who knows. However my family was always saying "why risk failure, when you can have a nice 9-5 job that always pays well and is fairly stable?" or "why risk working your ass off for a year and "show nothing for it"" where to me working my ass off for a year is a year of education i'd have never received otherwise.

And my family is fairly progressive.

The Lifehacker Effect - Moodpanda.com
The CDD appears to apply mostly to device manufacturers. It (1) specifies minimum system requirements and (2) requires that modifications to the OS don't break the API 3rd party applications use.

For 1, Hobbyists are still free to port Android to random unsupported devices such as the HP Touchpad; companies just aren't free to market devices that fall below minimum system requirements as Android devices.

For 2, if the API is broken, applications from the Android market probably won't work properly anyway.

Both of these sound entirely reasonable. Have I missed something?

Ask HN: Is the online demo a good idea?
When I first launched my web application, I was convinced that an online demo was the key to convincing customers of its awesomeness. All I asked for was an email address, and the visitor had full access to a guest account. In fact, my main call to action was to try the demo.

I now speculate that online demos can be a bad idea.

1. People casually surfing to your site to learn more are like window-shoppers. You can't show them all your wares out on the sidewalk. They must be enticed to enter your store. And once they come in you don't want to show them the pile of stuff in the back; you want to lead them through a curated presentation of your best offerings.

My point is that focusing on an online demo might short-circuit the sales (seduction) process.

2. When a prospect enters your online demo, you lose control over their experience. Being confronted for the first time with a new UI, they will get overloaded.

You can't assume they will tell themselves: "this software lets me place orders - let me try to place one to see how it works..."

The prospect will actually get stuck somewhere or have questions about how it works, but since they're not invested in using your product yet they won't ask you. They'll just walk away on a sour note. And you won't know why.

3. Extra work

Setting up and maintaining a guest account can be a lot of extra work, with no measurable pay-off. I wanted to show some reporting capability, so I had to fudge tens of thousands of records and make the whole thing look decent. I suspect that time would have better spent cold-calling.
I imagine that the hard drives themselves wouldn't be filled with the oil - perhaps wrapped in a heat-conducting plastic beforehand, or maybe drives are stored outside of oil altogether.

Does anyone have any statistics on what contributes the most heat? I'm assuming power supply and processor/GPU are the worst offenders.

Edit: yup, the drives are wrapped:

> First, our technicians remove server fans and put them aside for future use or reverse-modification at a later date. Then, each hard drive is encapsulated using GRC’s proprietary hard drive sealing system. Finally, the CPU thermal grease is replaced with a non-soluble foil.
That's true, as I understand it. But if he was claiming a trademark on the name he'd need to put the "TM" after the name. (Not the R-in-a-cirlce, that's only for trademarks that have been registered.) But this stuff has lots of corner cases and I don't pretend to understand it all.

> 1. It is not easy for me to switch between instances of the same application immediately.

Try Alt+` instead of Alt+Tab. Alt+` limits the list to windows of the same application. You can combine the two as well.

> 2. Opening multiple instance of an application is also not that comfortable.

Middle-clicking instead of left-clicking will open a new instance of the application instead of switching to the existing instance.

IMO, the problem with Unity is that it hasn't been well-documented for power users. I was just as annoyed as the most vocal haters when I first started, but after I learnt how to use it I actually like it now.

I'm a pathologist and an avocational programmer. This is pretty neat material and is very relevant to me, as I have been trying to bone up my math chops with Khan Academy videos so that I can tackle some computer vision related work in pathology.

With regards to the study, I will just point out that the system is not diagnosing breast carcinoma, but rather is producing a score which reflects the prognosis as relates to overall survival of the patient (so it is not as impressive as the somewhat hyperbolic HN title makes it out to be... a better title would be 'Stanford computer analyzes breast cancer more accurately than human doctor' which is not surprising at all given the well-documented interobserver variability in breast cancer scoring, particularly in moderately-differentiated tumors). That is to say that the computer already knows the tissue that it is looking at is a tumor and not benign breast tissue. Furthermore, it is really only providing a histologic (or morphologic) score, which is to say, that it is attempting to predict how aggressive the tumor will behave based upon how well or not well it is differentiated (how ugly it is). These days, this score is actually less useful in clinical practice than other information such as whether or not the tumor cells are expressing estrogen/progesterone hormone receptors, or if it is over-expressing Her2-neu protein, as these are possible paths for cancer therapy (anti-estrogen drugs vs. Herceptin) in addition to being prognostic indicators (tumors which express ER/PR generally behave better than tumors which are ER/PR negative and express Her2), as well as the stage (or how far the cancer has already spread) at the time the patient is diagnosed. There are a bunch of companies which are getting FDA approval for computer vision related algorithms for scoring immunohistochemical assays for ER/PR/Her2 [1].

So I am actually far less concerned about a computer doing my job very well, which is actually looking at a piece of tissue on a slide and making a tumor versus not-tumor distinction. This is very hard to do and I think will continue to be even harder for computers/computer-vision/AI to do for a long time to come. I am far more concerned about molecular diagnostics. That is the true-future for making cancer determinations and may even eliminate the part of my job where I tell you if something is benign vs. malignant.

"hard drive sealing system" - I'm pretty sure you can't completely seal a disk, it needs some surrounding air to deal with pressure changes and such.

Wonder if they can control the pressure to the point you can seal it... or if the seal itself incorporates an air flow system.

How complex can this sealing system be while still allowing the disks to fit in the bays?
>But, the point isn't so much whether it was all right or wrong, the more important (and frustrating) point is that WHAT they did wasn't done very diligently because at the end of the day, bailout billions were passed out practically for free and nothing changed.

>The question whether it was right or wrong to intervene is more a philosophical question and how much it has compromised the very foundations of our value system and economy: free market and capitalism.

That's all great - and I agree with your points, but the original point was "It wouldn't have destroyed the economy for everyone."

We simply do not know that - maybe, if the bailout hadn't happened, the economy would have plunged into a severe depression.
Mobile and the Internet are now intertwined. You'll have billions of Internet enabled mobile devices in 5 years. If you build something for the Internet and it doesn't run on mobile, you've got a problem. People are still concerned about IE6 support and in most countries it's about 2%. Mobile Internet usages is going well above 10%. Flash isn't going to die overnight but its use cases just got a lot smaller.
Hey there!

I used Balsamiq a lot before when it started, and then bought a licence for the Desktop app later which I still use.

One comment off the top of my head - Chinese input doesn't work on the Desktop app - did you fix this? I know this is probably an edge case...

I just signed up - it was quick and easy (the site felt exceptionally quick actually, maybe just got lucky). Signup was pretty smooth, although if you made it shorter I wouldn't complain. Can't I fill in my full name later? Or my company name after signup, not before?

Warning bells did go off when I was on the 'Plans and pricing' page, and I almost didn't sign up until I noticed the little text "no credit card details needed". It seemed like I'd be asked for my credit card details, and I hadn't noticed the 'start free trial' button, even though it's big.

The UI was good. Really good. I was trying to be critical, but the instant simple things were really intuitive. I didn't really push it by trying to do anything complicated, but those first few steps were easy. I'm familiar with the mockups interface from the desktop version, so not much to say there.

The only thing where I got lost was - in the actual mockup, and you want to get back to your project page. There's a big 'save' button, but not a big 'Save and close' button, or just "back to projects manager" button. I had to look around.

If I'm being really picky now, the intro video was a bit boring - I'd give the highlights first, and the step-by-step guide after the first 15 seconds of wow me awesomeness.

Would I pay? Yes, if I was still doing this kind of work regularly. For now, the Desktop licence is serving me fine.

Long response, hope it helps. For anyone else reading, I also have to say that Balsamiq customer services are INCREDIBLE. No affiliation with them, just a really satisfied existing customer.
so your plan is to mass-buy the fake app. makes sense

You shouldn't believe them anyway, because they are selling you something.
Web development - I don't think it'll be affected. When st hit the fan in 2008 in the US, the only thing I lost were commissions from sales - even then not by much - before, I was having a ~300% ROI, after it was around 200%, and I had to drop PPC. Leads actually increased in numbers, and Content creation still remains the same - I've got more clients than I can handle, although there are many more from India and Germany right now (before, the US was leading, too), so you'll be fine...
I really appreciate your intentions, but I'd prefer to deal with this just abiding by the rules. Plus, that would give the squatter a lot of undeserved sales and would boost their rankings.
that the entire point of the templates component.

`<div id="greet">Hello <%= name %></div>` is a biproduct of many years of webservers not being able to parse DOM structures. DSLs come and go. they make markup non-portable. Moving away from DSLs is a step toward a more portable stack.
I've seen lots of these with single machines dunked in a fishtank.

This is the first I've seen with many machines submerged.

I'd be interested to see the results of long term testing.

I'm guessing that big data centres avoid this because it's just so messy; at what point do cost savings from cooling over-ride inconvenience of dripping oil everywhere.

A final nitpick: the website is a bit frustrating, and could do with some better design, and much better photographs.
I don't disagree. I just think the slight of hand isn't necessary. Otherwise intelligent people are playing the telephone game for really no reason.

This can work to your advantage. In my case, a developer in the EU made claims against an app of mine, and since all of the legal documents arrived in a foreign language, it cost twice as much to have a lawyer simply evaluate the claims -- they had to use a partner firm in the originating country to translate the documents.

The ongoing cost of lawyers made me fold and remove the app from the store. I still maintain to this day that I did nothing wrong, there was zero infringement and his claim was 100% legally bogus, but I couldn't afford to keep the lawyers on top of it.

So, what was bad for me might be good for you. Get a lawyer and have him draft something really strong in Spanish.
I grew up in a Navy town, so I had an extensive education in all manner of swear words. I doubt there are many that I have not heard. You young edgy guys have nothing on the British Royal Navy ... not even close. I've heard people swear up a storm when they weren't even angry, they do it that naturally.

This means that I don't cringe when I hear swear words, but they don't impress me either. My parents taught me that swear words are for people who have a poor vocabulary. And that advice has stood me in good stead. And doubly so now that I pastor and have to preach and teach twice a week. I am now quite versed in connecting to my audience. I have even been known to inspire an emotion or two. I don't have a fancy AV setup, so I do it all without the aid of slides or videos. If you have good content and you know what you're talking about, your presentation will be memorable. If you care about your presentation, your audience will care and connect with you as you convey that passion.

Of course, I'm just a mid-forties fuddy-duddy who isn't edgy and doesn't have a crafted persona, so what do I know ... other than I suspect that I've made more presentations than many of today's speakers, and likely to more people and likely evoked more emotions and connected more and all with zero swear words.
