There isn't One Answer. The point is, you have plenty of alternatives. I don't know why the patch hasn't been applied. I know how I can find out though: I can join the developer mailing list and ask. If that doesn't work, I can track down a developer directly (they're not hard to find once you're on the mailing list) and bug 'em until I get a decent response. If it's clear the maintainers aren't doing their job, raise hell on the mailing lists and push to become a committer yourself so you can do the job right.

While that's happening, you can take the approach of maintaining your own patches so that you're not beholden to anyone in particular.

The whole point of open source is empowerment, not entitlement. No one is entitled to get any bug fixed. It's great when it happens but ultimately, everyone is empowered to make things happen themselves.
You seem to be presuming that people outside the US can't afford or won't purchase Android apps.

Given that outside the US includes Europe, Australia/New Zealand and the more affluent parts of Asia (Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, etc.) and those are the places I'd expect official Android tablets to be selling, that assumption seems strange to me.
Couple thoughts:

AppsLib.com claims to be on 2M tablets [1]. Amazon will be on nearly 3x that soon, so you say, but guess what: That's not NEARLY enough.

My game was the #2 app overall on AppsLib for over two weeks. I got so many downloads that I could...just about buy a sandwich from the ad revenues. As long as it wasn't a premium sandwich.

More than 6M Android phones ship every 11 days. Probably every 10 days or less at this point -- the 550k/day number I used to calculate that is a few months old. A year ago I heard from one developer that their top game was pulling in $5000/day in ad revenues. Back then the iPhone had much larger numbers than Android.

Maybe paid apps will be better, but as the article points out, Amazon has a REALLY bad deal for app providers who are charging for apps. They can cut your price in half without asking, and you get half the normal commission! They can even give it away for free, and only pay you 20% of list price! Oh, and if you ever have a one-day sale on another site for the same app, then they can just cut your list price (and commission) permanently!

No, I don't think 6M tablets are going to overthrow Google's Market. In fact, I think that when people discover that the Kindle Fire doesn't have GPS, a camera, the free 3G of the older Kindles, or any of the Google apps that make Android shine, that there will be a consumer backlash. The Kindle Fire is a fancy eReader that can use SOME Android apps, and that's it. It may be enough for a lot of people, but it won't be long for other Android tablets to come out at the same price point. Like Lenovo [2].

I understand that. That's why I'm perfectly happy to see advertising in my search results. I would not have minded if the ad was placed on the Google home page or at the top of my search results, but this ad is showing up in my software, on my own computer. I haven't seen any other reputable browser do that (without annoying toolbars installed, that is).

The native app, by comparison, is clearly significantly superior. I wish it wasn't so, but it is.

For games at least, I'm convinced native is the way to go.

> Why is someone who admittedly has little to no experience with Android (because he despises it so much) making predictions about its future?

I'm pretty sure that the average technically-inclined Android user knows more about the Android than the average technically-inclined iPhone user. But Marco's experience building and successfully marketing mobile apps skews it quite a bit.

Also it's quite common to be familiar with something you despise, for instance in war people become familiar with the enemy.

Finally, to answer your question, he made the prediction because he thinks a lot. He shared it because he didn't see anyone else saying it. If numerous Android experts were already saying it, I don't think he would have bothered.

I thought ASUS was being clear in [1]. They've sold 1.2 million so far and plan to ship at least another 600k by the end of the year. At this point, they can't count those 600k as sold since that would be predicting the future.

As for [2], I'd expect Andy Rubin's number is based on the number of tablets accessing Google services [4] (which isn't surprising since that is the number Google can most easily observe). Given that, it seems clear to me those 6 million count as sold.

Actually paying down the mortgage would be sensible. It is a guaranteed return risk-free investment. Mortgage rates are expensive when compared to comparative near risk-free investment; Treasure notes, CD, money market are in sub-1% range. Comparing mortgage paydown (risk-free) to stock (higher risk) are not a fair comparison.
Side-loading on the Kindle Fire is no harder than it is on your typical Android phone. A significant portion of Kindle Fire owners will side-load apps if someone gives them an incentive to.

Given that, I expect that side-loading on the Kindle Fire will be as insignificant as side-loading has been on Android phones. After all, it isn't like phone side-loading helped a company build an app store that they later married to their other content services to make a rich ecosystem for a new tablet, now is it?

My employer has over 3800 active US patents and 3600 active foreign patents. I just hack code in the library, and I like to share it.

The projects I work on that are Copyright my employer don't usually have third party commits; under BSD they retain copyright to their contribution and I guess we accept it "AS IS/NO WARRANTIES". but even under apache license 2.0 or educational community license 2.0 someone can't license rights they don't have.

Google makes the lion's share of its profits from ad revenue. Chrome is a big billboard. A shiny, speedy billboard, but a billboard nonetheless. It's no big surprise for them to want to monetize it eventually.

I would imagine the reason Microsoft never entertained that idea with IE is because Microsoft's core business is selling software, not selling ads. If you're running IE, you already gave MS money, either directly or indirectly.

Yes, when you set up an iPhone it asks you if you want to send diagnostic data to Apple.

It doesn't help that Apache has a setting "kEDH - Ephemeral (temp.key) Diffie-Hellman key exchange (no cert)" and "EDH - all ciphers using Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman key exchange" that (I think) maps to what IETF TLS calls "DHE - Ephemeral DH".

I get these confused all the time, and now they add in an "EC" prefix!
There are really two hacks here.

The first is a human psychology hack -- paying off small loans so you can feel the results and be motivated to keep at it. You're right, it is costly to ignore a higher-interest loan while aggressively paying off a lower interest loan... but it's much more costly to lose your motivation and not pay off any of the loans. (For someone with the discipline and motivation to pay them off without this hack, I agree, pay off the highest interest rate first.)

The second hack is the "snowball" idea -- once loan A is paid off, use the cash flow to pay off loan B, and then use the cash flow from A and B to pay off loan C. This works no matter which loan you pay off first. As a followup, once most or all of the debts are paid off, I recommend using some of the freed-up cash flow to increase savings rate.
It doesn't matter how much the MPAA costs in relation to current levels of BitTorrent traffic. The comparison you need to make is the cost of the MPAA vs. the amount of money Hollywood made from Netflix. From the MPAA's perspective, if there was unfettered piracy and no making/enforcement of the laws, everyone would pirate their content. Thus, the MPAA is protecting the $180 billion that Hollywood made off Netflix because those customers did not steal.

Now obviously lawsuits and lobbying drive some customers to choose Netflix over BitTorrent, but there's also the fact that Netflix and BitTorrent deliver completely different online movie services. Netflix serves customers a limited selection of movies that they can start watching right now. BitTorrent delivers "customers" any movie they want, but they need to wait before they can start watching it the first time. They can watch it right away any time after that, even if they aren't on the internet, however. The author assumes that, cost aside, Netflix provides a superior offering. That might be true, but if both were legal, I know what I would choose (and it's not Netflix).
This lifestyle is ok for writers, not programmers. As the author states, he was writing a book, which is not a collaborative effort.

Typical programming is team work, with milestones and deadlines. Deadlines which are set in one time zone.

So, while I applaud this young man for doing what he did, it really is normal travel porn. If you have no obligations, great, do it. I bet in most cases you'll be under 30 if you can pull it off.
Your First Steps to Starting a Successful Small Business
A major budget killer in my marriage was shopping for furniture/decor together. "Having a nice home" was one of the few things my spouse and I could agree on, so shopping for decor was one of the few ways I got any of his time and attention in something vaguely resembling a positive fashion. (He could only really give me his undivided attention if we were arguing about something. We spent way too much time fighting and this was a major factor in the marriage failing.) I didn't really need more furniture. I really needed some positive attention from him and just couldn't get it. Furniture shopping was the closest substitute I could get, so we did way too much of it, much to the detriment of our budget.

I think any relationship based on a "dating" model is at risk of equating relating with "having a good time" ...aka spending money. If you are doing this, consider finding another way to relate to your S.O. Cooking together, gardening together, just plain talking for hours, long walks and other forms of spending time together that don't revolve around spending money per se can do a lot for both your relationship and budget.

Edit: I will note I did the stay-at-home-mom thing for nearly two decades. Perhaps that detail will help clarify why I am making this remark.

Also, don't be so quick to conclude Amazon will have over half even the US market. You're forgetting to count the Nooks (which have to be counted if you're counting Kindle Fires, of course). The best number I've found is about 3 million from March 2011 [1], with B&N claiming an unspecified "millions" at the Nook Tablet launch.

That means, to win in the US at the end of the year (since they're not competing internationally), Amazon has to beat:

* ~3 million Nook colors sold as of March 2011 +

* Nook Colors sold between March 2011 and the end of the year +

* ~1 million Android tablets sold through October 2011
(NPD numbers excluding TouchPad) +

* Android tablets sold in November and December

Theoretically, 5 million might be enough for Amazon, but you'd have to think:

* that Nook Color sales collapsed soon after March

* the Nook Tablet will flop

* Android tablet vendors can't even replicate their sales-to-date during the holiday season (even though there are new quad-core models and cheaper 7-inch models, among other things)

Personally, I think the more interesting race is Kindle vs Nook one-on-one. Nook, of course, has the early lead, but Kindle is selling faster. I think everyone expects Kindle to win eventually (absent a game-changing move by B&N), but will it be this year?

I've used centralized SCCSs for years and years. I guess I don't see why you can't use git as one, just have everybody agree to push to a central repository on a server.

There is the issue of the size of the local copy, but it doesn't seem to be a big deal in practice. I just don't check in the heavyweight frameworks as vendor drops into the same repos as I use for my own, smaller, codebase.

Granted, I'm scared to death of ending up in a merge-gone-wrong hell situation trying to do stuff that I'm very familiar with in Perforce. But I'm happy being a git newb taking baby steps a bit longer.

Google giving up on Android for Chrome makes no sense.

Taking control away from other companies over the future of mobile phones is the biggest reason why Google released Android, a genius move nonetheless. It's the same reason why they have been paying shitloads of money to Mozilla, it's the same reason why they released Chrome ... to make Google's search the default.

And Chrome is nice and all, with Chrome OS being an interesting experiment, but the importance of Chrome pales in comparison with Android - their biggest success since GMail.

I also do not think Amazon will take over anything. The power of Android comes from being used by multiple vendors. That's the reason why Android exceeded iOS in numbers.

Really, what makes anybody think that Amazon can do better than Apple?
Couldn't agree more.

As I and my teammate started working on Candy (http://amiadogroup.github.com/candy) we knew that we want to open-source the project. Therefore we built everything so modular and flexible that even we used the vanilla Candy and wrote just some custom plugins for our own use-case.

I think it definitively leads to better code.
Funny. Now my own profile has been fetched from github.

The edit info, button still goes to user/edit instead of user/nickname/edit.

Still the system is showing those who are listed as "hireable: false" showing up before those who are actually hireable.

If you want a basic breakdown on a monthly basis

- Rent will cost you anything from 500 and 700 depending on the area for a small apartment.
- Heating and electricity, if not included, about 60$
- Bus pass is 72$
- Cellphone plans are 40 to 70$
- Good Internet is about 40$ (teksavvy and Videotron would be my choices)
- Food is about 50$ or less per week for decent food variety. (200 a month)

so between 852 and 1142$ Canadian for monthly payments.
