Viddy’s Series A Valued at $300 Million?
The "34 more instagrams" comment is made by someone who doesn't know how venture returns work. Sure, it is a huge return on 250k but just a smaller multiple of larger investments.

Also, there are several funds which represent the 2.8 billion...

Indeed, you are correct. And the heuristic clearly isn't as simple as whether or not the cursor is at the start of the word. Clicking between O and P produces a seemingly pseudorandom alternation that probably has some basis in statistics.
That's not correct. You can stay on the old plan for as long as you don't try to upgrade and your Google Wallet has a valid, up-to-date credit card:

it's keeping the deal flow constant -> that was our problem and that is the problem fabric is going to strive to solve.
That's too literal. This solution is the best possible setup for all users. If you're typing slowly on the keyboard and taking it literally you just learn the new setup. If you're used to another device and expect those keys to be in different places it performs as that users expects. Adding an option just places something on the screen that should really be irrelevant for the vast majority of users.

Also, I wouldn't take that initial comment as a dig, even if it was intended as one. I think it says something about the the discovery of this feature that you couldn't immediately realize the intention. The fact that it's not obvious to everyone what this is for gives even more reason for it to be a hidden feature.
The more I use it, the more I see it as a Dropbox clone. Not just the exact same feature-wise, but also technology-wise..

Google Drive's Mac client is written in Python, just like Dropbox's, for example.

Ok so you're a realist, fine. But I'm curious, do you not think lucid dreaming is real? Or do you just not think it can be triggered with flashing lights?
The problem with this is that most of the time PR is "the guys that make the ads and spin the bad news to the press". A kind of side-entity that has narrow scope.

They are not in the critical path when asshattery flows out of legal, through management, and spills into the public space.
The point is-there are lucid dreaming devices that work, at least partially. Remee seems to be based on similar principles. In theory Remee is an improvement on those devices, addressing a lot of the common complains about existing lucid dreaming technology. But unless I'm missing something (which is why I asked) it seems really odd to claim that an invention that's supposedly an improvement on existing, (partially) functional devices is "snake oil."

So let me rephrase my question. Given that there are existing, functional devices, based on a similar mechanism, and Remee seems to be an improvement on those devices, why exactly does it qualify as snake oil? Which of my assumptions is wrong?

To be fair, file-uploading has been part of Google Docs for a while now (I've been using it to upload encrypted backups). The only difference now is that there's a desktop client and an SDK.
I wouldn't say there's a need for rapid updates; as a user, I just want them. I don't understand why users should be made to wait 6 months to a year for small features that are available now.

"Didn't want to play ball" has negative connotations that I certainly didn't mean to imply with what I said. It was just the priorities and goals that were different (e.g. back when JJB was still working on Firebug as part of his job at IBM Research, his work on Firebug needed to have a "research" component, as I understand, which led to some differences in approach from a pure "create a product" tack).
You should take a look at three20 and Tapku. They might be what you are looking for. three20 was built by the original Facebook iOS developer and is used to do things like photo galleries in many apps (I haven't used it in a while so I'm not sure how well maintained it is).
FYI, I was about to join up, but I declined because it wanted my contacts.

For the most part, contracts are signed by relatively new contacts (people not yet in my address book). E.g. new customers, partners, contractors, or employees.

I hope you'll get rid of this unnecessary intrusion into my privacy in the future. And, for what its worth, people who send around lots of NDAs, LIOs, term sheets, employee agreements and other sorts of contracts usually value their privacy.

And yes -- I understand that you say you won't be spamming my contacts or mining it for data. It's just that I don't know you.
Good story. As a side note: why do men have to be so mind numbingly boring? I had the misfortune of hanging out with a bunch of guys I didn't really know recently and the talk was similar to that described here (sports, women, avoidance of anything actually interesting like religion or politics). It was so boring I just left and went back to work.

As a gender, I think men have a lot to answer for in terms of conversation skills. Stop being so boring and predictable. Stop talking about sports as a habit.
You should edit your post to remove the 6th paragraph. Not your place to be calling pastie a increasing malware/virii distribution site. In fact, Not only is it libelous, but its not even appropriate to share with us. There is a reason companies dont get to comment on every bad thing that gets pointed their way.

IMO, your response does more damage to you than trying to explain it away. Doesnt matter if the guy is not paying you or not. In fact, your privacy policy says you wont do this and you just did.

Is it when they disconnect you for having a incoming attack, or the public post afterwards where they air your dirty laundry?

> The number of minor issues that Firefox and Chrome have broken in their rapid updates is vast.

What exactly has lead you to this conclusion? As a professional web developer for a high volume website, I can't remember a single instance of Chrome breaking any html/css/javascript on our site between updates. That's not to say it doesn't happen, it just seems really rare and minor...

What kind of site do you develop that users are constantly complaining that things are breaking due to Chrome updates? I've never heard this be made as a sincere complaint before.
I find not closing my <li>s and many of my table tags (e.g. https://gist.github.com/1117438) lends to much more readable and maintainable markup. <head> and <body> I'd leave explicitly there, the tag autogeneration rules conflict with HTML5 elements in oldIE.

IMO, you shouldn't ever drop optional tags for a byte payload reason, this is what minifiers are for (htmlcompressor is extremely robust). But sometimes it makes sense to drop some closing tags so your source isn't an overgrown garden of angle brackets.

Watch The Avengers Online
Watch The Avengers cinematography is by Seamus McGarvey which is edited by Jeffrey Ford and Lisa Lassek. The movie is distributed by Walt Disney Pictures under Marvel Studios which is due to be shown in theaters on April 11, 2012 for worldwide premiere and in the United States on the 4th of May, 2012.
"It doesn't look 'cinematic', lacking that filtered or gauzy look we're all accustomed to"

"Not all will like the change. 48 fps has an immediacy that is almost jarring."

"...he elaborated his thoughts, and essentially, the crisper looking image had the odd effect of making everything seem almost too realistic".

Lighting and set-design issues aside (sets shouldn't feel artificial), these comments seem ridiculous to me. It would be like a Triumph TR3 or Sunbeam Tiger owner lamenting over the Mazda MX-5 (Miata), saying that it's not an authentic British-style roadster unless it regularly hemorrhages its fluids when stationary in your driveway, occasionally fails to maintain an idle, or if an artifact of one the builders can't be found hidden in the trunk. Oh, wait -- people actually made those sorts of complaints.

People dislike change, even when it ultimately is for the better. I'm sure there were plenty of complaints when the industry moved away from nitrate film as well. Heck, since this film is digital I'm going to go find the "Death of the Projectionist" article I'm sure exists.
I've had mixed results. Sometimes it has worked but other times I think I've targeted to specifically at good poor results.

As a Facebook user most of the ads I see are quite relevant. I think it depends on how many pages you've liked. I also close and mark ads that aren't relevant to me which might help.

Right now it is showing me:

- A HMTL5 course
- A newly released album that interests me
- A guitar player I might be interested in (I was)
- A poker game & free chips offer (probably because I play Poker games on Facebook)
- A tax ad as it is roughly tax time

Admittedly there are also two that aren't at all relevant but considering the fact I never see relevant Google ads I think Facebook is doing a good job with ads.

(I know this makes me sound like a Facebook evangelist, I promise I'm not :)

Yes, Apple's amazing. But I think there's this attitude that nobody can compete with them.

Somebody can. But we're all just too busy looking and marvelling at Apple's astounding success to see that, if just enough insight and resources were given to the R&D departments at a bunch of different companies, similar results could be achieved elsewhere.

Apple was just like other companies 15 years ago. Worse, actually. They were failing in 1997. It was about to go under or be acquired. All Steve Jobs did was return and re-focus the company on products instead of marketing. Granted the focus he brought was perfectionist to a neurotic degree, but those tendencies aren't limited to Apple.

So why aren't other companies doing that?
The story which The Atlantic quotes from in support of their 13 million consensus estimate actually says:

"The most pessimistic analysts are calling for sales of just 9 million; the most optimistic see sales of over 15 million. Consensus is for about 12 million, which would be a year-over-year increase of 155%."

Couldn't find a description on how consensus was derived (is it an arithmetic mean?). Depending on how much of an outlier the 15 million estimate was, 11.8 million actual sales might actually be above the median estimate.

update: found the source http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2012/04/19/how-many-ipads-did-ap...

Looks like Apple was well below the median, though PED says the 6 most accurate analysts he has been tracking had a consensus estimate of 10.95 million iPads.
Perhaps the negative reactions are simply because most people aren't accustomed to seeing insanely high resolutions and frame rates in the cinema.

When I first got a high-definition plasma TV (which replaced my 20+ year old CRT), I felt the exact same way: as if all my movies were ruined, because they looked like documentaries. Now it feels like a degraded experience to watch poorer quality films. Perhaps the audiences of 2032 will feel the same about 48 fps/5k resolution.

That is correct, the N900 will work correctly. As will any Nokia Symbian S60 phone like the e73 and so on. They only listed the Samsungs since they are current. With Google now offering the Galaxy Nexus for $399, it is a pretty darn good deal.
20 years ago most people didn't own computers and most people had never even heard the word 'internet'. Predicting Facebook will be alive and well is a crazy prediction. I can't even imagine what computing or the internet will look like in 20 years. Will we even visit websites? Or use apps? Or have info fed directly to our Google Glass(es)?
5 reasons no one is buying your app
I think it all breaks down into three categories:

* People who like it
* People truly not liking it because they're not used to
it, but someday they'll look back and think 24fps looks awful
* People trying to send hipster social signals by being more
cinema snob than thou

Not sure what the exact breakdown is, but I wouldn't underestimate that third category.

If it seems like I've not left space for people genuinely and indefinitely not liking it... no, I haven't. It's a proper superset of capabilities. If for some bizarre reason 24 fps is truly called for, it can be used. I expect that to happen about as often as we bizarrely have a sudden need for 12fps footage in the movies of today, which is to say, never. (No, I don't mean slow-mo, I mean a sudden frame rate drop for its own sake.)
Letterboxd opens to the public
I actually think that this is Kickstarter's saving grace: if I give money to somebody, I know it's a gamble. I'm not a venture capitalist looking for a guaranteed return, I'm not going to pressure anyone to have a "exit strategy", and I'm not a shopper who can demand my money back. I'm taking a risk with a small, disposable amount my money - usually less than the cost of going out to dinner at a nice restaurant, and I get to help give someone the gift of working on a project they believe in, that I think the world would be better off having. And sometimes - usually, even! - they give me a gift in return.

I find this to be way more optimistic and healthy than the traditional investment model, where the VC are pushing you to sell your baby for parts so they can get even richer.
The issue isn't unplugging, I don't think anybody here thinks that it is unreasonable if they were to do this. The issue is that they kept the site unplugged for good because a single DDoS attack. My analysis based on the official response is that they used this incident as an excuse to drop the site because it was too much of a hassle to deal with the takedown notices.
Sidewalk Sinkhole in China
As excited I am for The Hobbit, I'm also leery of the 48fps. If you've ever noticed the difference between watching movies on a 120Hz/240Hz, it's definitely extremely noticeable and distracting. It makes movies look like reality TV.

Why this is, I don't fully know. The fact that this is filmed at 48 fps (rather than simple interpolating the extra frames) might make it better, but I'll just have to see for myself.

What I do know, is that if watching a film at 48 fps is like watching a typical bluray at 120Hz, I'm going to find it distracting. It really does mess with the "feel" of the movie. Whether it's simply cognitive dissonance or not will take time to determine.

Here's a relevant article from last year that really hits home for me: http://prolost.com/blog/2011/3/28/your-new-tv-ruins-movies.h...

The pastes that we receive complaints about are publicly viewable and searchable by anyone. The increase in these kinds of pastes is also publicly observable.

If a YouTube employee said that some naughty YouTube users post copyrighted videos, it wouldn't be private information or libellous as such videos are publicly viewable.

I'll edit to clarify that the overwhelming number of Pastie users are "using it for good" as Josh politely requests on the site.
Take-away: Google is getting a lot more aggressive about using purely algorithmic spam penalties.

About 6 months back, they changed the Webmaster Guidelines to specifically make a point that penalties can be either manual OR algorithmic (previously they just discussed manual penalties). Everything they've done lately follows this trend.

What's surprising to me and most SEO's is the thought Google was not already heavily using this approach to combat spam.

Either they always have, but now are just telling the world about it...

(But if so, shouldn't the results speak for themselves? Why make such a point to talk about it? Is this just marketing? Is their bark more effective tool than their bite?)

...or they were NOT, and now actually are really using algos for the first time.

(In which case, I wonder why did it take so long? Were the algos not effective in the past? Were they worried about collateral damage? How much do they expect now? Were the algos limited in other ways and not adaptable/flexible?)

Is this a sign of desperation? It could be a) a good solid enhancement, b) pure marketing noise, or c) a potentially risky algorithm with bad consequences.
As long as you can still reach the APIs you need 100% of the time, there's nothing wrong with the abstraction. Ruby is a huge timesaver over Objective-C... this is obvious in the syntax. The ability to create apps that run on anything but are 100% written in Ruby will be a huge step forward for the language. So that's why I think it is Matz working on this.
All the Interesting Problems Are Scalability Problems
This looks nice (and it's great the LI is open sourcing it) but it doesn't seem like a great alternative to the tab bar. With the tab bar you select a tab and get instant feedback above it. If you don't like what you see you can select the next tab. Two touches. With this you have to select, dismiss, and then select the next menu item. Not really a great solution for moving through information quickly especially as you have to give a second for the view present/dismiss animations - unlike tab bar.

Several thoughts:
- Just add your company name ahead of 'Server Tools' as the formal name (ie "SCL Server Tools")
- Take a key attribute/benefit and do a play off your company theme (ie Monitor + Scenic City >> CityScape >> "ServScape","ServerScape")
- What is unique about your tools when compared to what is available? Do a play on that unique differentiator.
It might actually be worth blowing this out of proportion to prevent this sort of thing from happening again. I don't really want to support "I am going to paint second Mona Lisa" and end up supporting guy's quest for learning how to squeeze paint from a tube. This is not only misleading, but also damages KicStarter's reputation in general.
Wild Berry Report: Chinese iPhones Smell Of Pineapple, Mango, And Apple
This point doesn't apply very well to this case. The problem is that there was a lack of verifiable people on Yelp posting negative reviews. Yelp has many more semi-verifiable people on it (i. e. people who've left multiple reviews) than the typical person has friends with experience with a given rarely-used service.

If in this case the problem were likely to be solved by acquaintances, it would also be likely to be solved by Yelp, under its assumption that people need to leave multiple reviews to be considered credible.
