Microsoft sues Comet for producing 94,000 counterfeit copies of Windows
It staggers me that a reputable high-street company like Comet would do this. I'd love to know what on earth they were thinking!
I don't see that reason yet either, but after playing with a Nokia Lumia I do believe it's within the realm of possibility.

They did get the basics right here, WinMobile is actually surprisingly good. First and foremost it's hands-down the most responsive UI, even an iPhone feels laggy in contrast. Also most of the core interface and features worked really well for me when I tried; the whole thing feels right, the interface is intuitive and beautiful. It seriously makes the iPhone look dated.

What it lacks (apart from bugfixes) is customizability and the app ecosystem. Those are obviously huge issues, but not insurmountable when you have the warchest of a Microsoft.

Comet is largely insolvent and has recently been sold for a token £2 to a "retail turnaround" outfit called OpCapita: http://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/business/business-news/kesa_s...

You expect this sort of thing if you go to the Bowlers computer fair, but not at Comet!
Anyways, wrote this system using php, jQuery. Thought it was worth a shot showing people.
This is it though, you don't know the path to the end result. In that it could quite easily be that the buyer is a pain and has escalated it when the seller disputed the buyers claim that it was not authentic and have stated that it has been checked before hand.

I have had dealings with people on Paypal and eBay where the issue has been escalated quite quickly because the buyer was a pain in the ass. I had one buyer who escalated a claim because they had paid by eCheque and we sent the item the day after the item had cleared yet they were raising dispute before the eCheque had cleared.

Some people just don't work the system properly which can lead to these situations so quickly. From a sellers point of view, the system doesn't work. It's all about the buyer

The author here. I can understand that it's not clear from the README, but I only chose a Rack implementation for the backend in order to make developing those 'Adapters' easier for others, since Rack is pretty standard in the Ruby world.
One of the implemented adapters, Proxy, acts a proxy to another HTTP server.
In the performance section:

"[The results] show the power that lies in the simple addition of a SPDY server to an existing nginx/Thin configuration (and probably also Unicorn/nginx.)"

I am totally for the separation of front- and backend.
One thing I like about the Xbox Live app on WP7 is that you can message people from the app and the live tile updates if you have a message waiting. I downloaded the new companion app but I havent tried it out yet to see what other integration they have. My only want now is to be able to enter in registration codes on the phone instead of in the xbox. I miss out on too many twitter giveaways at work :P
For a web design to be truely responsive and mobile friendly you need to do more than just move pixels about and change the size and layout of DIVs with media queries. A truely mobile-friendly site will serve a more contextually sympathetic experience to a person holding a mobile device, an experience that avails of all the additional contextual hints that you have available to you on mobile: location, heading, device orientation etc.

You can ignore all of this and create something that will render on a small screen, and say your mobile site is "done" but to do so is to miss out on the opportunities that mobile web presents. Doing this right is much harder of course, but there's a reason why almost all of the Alexa top 100 sites serve entirely different HTML to mobile devices, rather than taking a media queries approach.

There's a summary of all the ways to achieve these goals here: http://mobiforge.com/starting/story/mobile-web-content-adapt...
I could understand if their supplier had "tricked" them, but they willingly produced and sold the counterfeit copies themselves? No wonder they're falling apart.
Funnily enough I just released Bootstrap (https://github.com/olegp/bootstrap) yesterday which addresses these very same issues I had with Puppet.

I'm initially focusing on Ubuntu Server LTS on AWS EC2. As a result, it's all Bash and very simple. I'm still working on the documentation, but would really appreciate any feedback or improvement suggestions you may have.
I don't know whether Haskell or C is best for these kind of programs, but I have three considerations:

1. You seem to presume that good C programmers can be confident that their short, simple C programs are correct. The anecdotal figure I follow for error incidence is an error per 1000 lines of code, for code written by and check by professional programmers. In this 600 loc program, that's over a 50% chance of error at the end of the auditing process; the authors are worried about security, which makes looking for alternative sources of reassurance make sense.

2. Being comfortable coding in two languages doesn't mean that the set of problem-solving idioms you have for the two languages are equivalent. IO code in Haskell is indubitably more complex than in C, and has some particularly sharp edges, but the price tag in terms of code complexity does not map into a similar price tag in terms of code-comprehension complexity: the complexity arises from disciplines that, when married to the use of good IO idioms, make it easier to reason about the code.

3. Reading the code from the article, the Haskell code is much better written than the C code -- This does suggest that the author is right to use Haskell in cases where you would use C, since you have different skill sets.
One day I may finish up my website that will guide you in an engaging way through to a good grasp of the useful stuff, but at the moment it's just some practice drills and no guidance at all. :(

Dunno if you'll even see this comment.. but my short-version recommendation is to learn different types of chords, (major, minor, 7th, etc., inversions, different spacings) and chord functions, then figure out what the progressions that "sound good" are doing in those terms. That's a big step up right there, I think.

The real issue behind piracy is societal values.

I disagree. Every time the discussion is going that way, I feel we're hopelessly lost.

There is very little Ethics debate on the industry behaviour: suing their customers, exploiting authors, and lobbying for draconian laws instead of using new business models. Hey, they are companies, they're just looking for their shareholders' interest! That's legitimate! It seems Ethics only apply to consumers.

Call to ethics is the last refuge of inapplicable laws.
The estimates I've seen for the total amount of humanitarian aid are on the order of $20bn/year. What's the world's annual violin-compassion budget?

(I think $20bn/year is way too low and the world would be a better place if we were more compassionate towards starving people and others in distress. But that's no reason at all not to care about old violins being destroyed.)

The terms don't allow that. It says that Paypal must reasonably believe the item to be counterfeit. For this kind of item, clearly only a physical inspection would be reasonable, and I would sue them over it.

But I agree - it's clearly better not to use Paypal at all.

When you add a laptop to your basket they add a “Restore and Recovery Disk” to your order for £15 (~$24) even though laptops come with this CD sealed in the box or you can create it from an image file on the laptop. When I questioned them via telephone they quickly backed off and took it off the order.

He's right about how Apple users (like me) think and act. I like this analysis.
I figured out you could use the space bar to advance through the "slides", which made the presentation just about usable. I then instinctively - and possibly stupidly - tried to use backspace to go back a slide. Obviously, I arrived back at HN. I didn't go back to finish reading.

Interesting subject matter, poor presentation.
I like it. It works fine, albeit a bit slow. Are you scrapping in real time, no caching? Have you thought of sharing the code (githubit)?
I think you may be right, but that is a technical aspect. I think there is a psychological aspect. Some people want an exclusive space where they are not reminded work people or relatives or high school bullies exist at all. Even if they allowed you to block any mention of those people it might cause even more "drama" if they keep messaging you and you never reply.
The problem with Java is because there aren't any strongly typed functions, only strongly typed classes.

Therefore to handle a mouseClick event requires a class. However, it doesn't make sense to have a IMouseClick interface that has only one method, right? That would seem too wasteful.

So the natural thing to do is to group all the mouse events into a single interface.

Before you know it, you have the abomination of MouseClickListeners, MouseAdapters, and anonymous classes.

About overusing patterns - GOF is really a book of anti patterns that is particularly useful for language designers, because it points out the glaring contortions that people have to do to get their work done.

On the other hand, being a good programmer requires learning and subsequent unlearning of GOF patterns. I'm reminded of Bruce Lee when he started with Wing Chun, but then found the "form" too rigid. Quote from http://www.cavendishscience.org/phys/brucelee/brucelee.htm

In describing his style, Bruce Lee made a clear
distinction between "having no form" and "having no
form." To have no form was to transcend form from a
position of mastery that enabled one to see when the
rules could be-in fact, needed to be-broken. No form
was highly disciplined in its execution. In essence,
to have no form was to have access to all forms; to
understand all forms at their most essential level
and to see and be able to act on the connections among
forms. On the other hand, "having no form" implied an
undisciplined approach, an inability to master any form.

Lee discovered that he could not teach no form directly
to novices in the martial arts. A student first had to
master the form of karate, tae kwon do, or some other
school; only from a position of mastery could the
student begin to experiment with abandoning the form.
Harmony, by design.

The big difference is that the UNIX shell does all kinds of expansion/interpolation for you, while Windows basically leaves things alone. You get an argv[] array in both cases if you're writing in C.

Neither of these approaches is inherently superior, they're just placing responsibility for certain operations in different places. But the fact is that because Windows programs don't have to assume a certain set of conventions for their command line, many do not, and if you have the misfortune to want to automate those using subprocess, you're in for a world of pain (until you just give up and use the single-string version instead of the list of arguments, having realised that this is enough to stop it messing around with your carefully crafted strings and just pass them through verbatim).

Honesty is best policy.

Effectively there's a difference between investors and partners. Investors put in money and reap profits. Partnership has to do with sacrifice (time).

In all fairness I'd say it would be good if you take your current salary ( from startup ) + his current salary ( from startup + job ) and divide that by 2.

It is only fair if you both do equal amounts of work a week that both get the same benefit in a 50/50 partnership.

If that's not viable, propose the reallocation of shares - you could always visit a lawyer.

Alternatively, if you're running the business - take a vacation and see if he picks up the slack.
What's wrong with a clear dispute?

You write down your point of view and ask what you really want. Start from here.

Hey, we are friends, but enough is enough. I feel the current situation is unfair. I work full time and I should get something like a salary but not you, because you are not full time.

If you cannot find a consensus, then, may be you should ask a lawer to know what is considered fair by law.

So, although it's currently illegal, and I don't approve of "piracy", it's not illegitimate to consider that if someone says something, I have a right to know what they're saying (especially if that doesn't cost them anything to let me hear it).

The speech analogy is pretty insidious considering we are talking about multi-million-dollar games and movies.
You have to look at the deals available. I'm new to smartphones but got a galaxy s2 free on my contract, The equivalent iphone cost twice as much as my s2. If it were a similar price I would have gone for iPhone. I'm now finding as a win/linux rather than apple user I'm really happy with android/samsung anyway.
Exactly. My only problem with Windows phones is that the choice of handsets is too inconsistent from provider to provider. I'd love to get my hands on that new Samsung Focus S but I don't want to deal with AT&T. With Android the same handset can appear on multiple providers making the choice easier.

You can write Java that isn't heavily OO, but you have to implement alternatives to sections of the stdlib that most people assume or take for granted.

Related to what you're saying about the GUI, I'd be interested to see a detailed summary of what the Lighthouse people did, and how it was different to Java. I've found that NeXT tradition stuff - despite claims that it's heavily OO - in facat tends to err away from subclassing towards composition. I suspect the Lighthouse interface patterns did too.

Have you considered using a mediator ?

There are people who come form a counselling background who are experienced in settling business disputes such as this. I would present it to your partner as business strategy consultation or something like that.

But basically, you both need to talk and come up with a solution that works for both of you.
You're listening for two file descriptor events, so you need some sort of event loop. select can do it but it's low-level; and since there can be only one event loop per program, your choices are frameworks and not simply libraries.

Here's a way to do it with Twisted (docs here: http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/core/howto/proces... ):

from twisted.internet import reactor, protocol

class PrintAndLogProtocol(protocol.ProcessProtocol):
def outReceived(self, data):
# print and log
errReceived = outReceived

reactor.spawnProcess(PrintAndLogProtocol(),
'/path/to/exe', ['exe', 'arg1', 'arg2'])
reactor.run()
Those weren't the prices I saw in the US or here in the UK.

Verizon launch price for Galaxy Nexus: $299 on 24-month contract. Verizon launch price for iPhone 4S: $199 [16GB], $299 [32GB] on 24-month contract.

Sim-free pricing in UK was £500 for Galaxy Nexus and £500 for 16GB iPhone 4S.

I do agree that Android phones don't keep their value as well as the iPhone line does. And obviously carriers and retailers are less likely to do iPhone 'deals'. I'm not picking sides for any OS here, just saying that the top end Android phones are no cheaper than the iPhone.
Ordinary users only care about cost, choice and being limited - in that order.

Not only are Android phones cheaper than Apple, including pricing plans, but there are a lot more Android than Windows phones.

Finally, even the most casual smartphone buyer understands apps are key to not being limited. The perception is that Apple and (then?) Android are the leaders.

"Openness" as a concept is simply not on the radar for most users, but the consequences very much are.

Let's pretend that some terrible remote exploit appears tomorrow, that allows anyone to get out the complete source of every SaaS server side app, which is the most prevalent setup here at HN startups. No harm is done to the server, no private user data escapes. No significant extra resources are used on copying the data.

What was previously impervious to copyright infringement, can now be easily copied. Illegal of course, but so is copyright infringement according to current laws.

You were just planning on selling the company for $5 million. But now, an exact copy is available on a site outside of your legal reach. They are able to do everything you do.

Will your potential buyer still offer you $5 million? Would you say that your pirate wasn't going to buy your company anyway and couldn't afford it, so he does you no harm? Your product was proprietary and hoarding data of users, he claims to be open and free. He claims that you are your code and ideas should belong to everyone, and you already got enough money from your first $2 million investment; asking for more would be greedy.

To me it seems that the only difference is that cracking a SaaS app is generally not technically possible, while removing the DRM on an installed app and then redistributing it is easy.

I guess my fear is that, confronted with the choice of: I get money, and you don't; or we rethink our equity; he'll say "You know what? I think I'm ready to be working full time on this!", which doesn't repare the past two years, and to be honest, at this point I'm not even sure I want him full time on this, given his total lack of commitment. "Deciding" to go full time when given an ultimatum, is not enough for me.
