Competing is definitely not necessary to stick with exercising.

I haven't participated in a race since around '93 or '94, we're talking 2 races that I've done - both Bloomsday runs in Spokane with family.

My current normal week has me at the gym every day and twice on Wednesdays. I do strength training 2-3 times and I usually run over 110km. The only person I compete against is myself.

I hate going to the gym, and I hate working out. But I much prefer having a BMI of 23.4 than the 40+ I used to be at. It's not fun, but once you get used to it and consider it a necessity, you can stay with it.

Of course, I'm not suggesting that everyone work out as much as I do. --A rather innocuous visit to the doctor earlier this month ended up with a blood test that showed a severe iron deficiency. So now I'm taking 300mg of supplements a day for at least 2 months... And that much iron tends to have a bit of an effect on my digestive system, although the opposite of what the doctor warned me about.

That's not true. You can install crx files from places other than the webstore. Infact there are a few app stores out there if anyone tries to google them.

I think this would be a great product, in a world where iPad and tablets with Android and Windows Mobile don't exist.

Google should work on fixing and polishing Google TV instead instead of this if they want to work on set top boxes. Even with the updates late last year, Google TV compared to the competition is still lagging especially in the UI / UX department.

>it seems pretty competitive with a Mac mini, actually. . . . same RAM

Actually, the Chromebox has 4 GB of RAM whereas the mini with the $599 list price has only 2 GB. So, technically your statement "same RAM" is incorrect even though upgrading the RAM on the mini to 4 GB will not cost very much.

It works by considering only the digital pen signal for writing. The pen in the demo is essentially the same as the iPen, which has been supported by a few handwriting apps (including mine) on the market. However, the pen is not accurate enough for serious note-taking, because the signal is transmitted some distance above the pen tip. There are many complaints in the iPen Kickstarter comment section.

I really don't think that the brand name dropping is much about status or cost, it's about products he recommends for those tasks because they are the best. Most of the products he mention cost pretty much the same as the competitors anyway.

I think it has to do with how you see creating your own products too. Are you trying to make a product that would be indistinguishable from the competitors, or one that's so good that people mention it by name?
I think the recent, cool web stuff has made programming look easier, even though it isn't. Maybe we're closer to to the tech, maybe we can expect more from software. We don't really appreciate any of these 'simple' web services that solve a lot of hard problems (eg, scale). Twitter is only 140 characters, but it's definitely not simple. That way it seems to outsiders like the hard part is coming up with the idea, instead of the execution.
Celeron is more than enough for everything if the software beneath is good enough -- remember, it's orders of magnitude faster than what we had in the 80s, but most computer tasks are still similar. Perhaps Google is betting on that?

16GB SSD needs to hold the OS (.5GB perhaps?), the browser (.1GB), and some cache (all the rest). Everything else is in the cloud.

What seems to be getting lost is that "user-friendly" has the word "user" in it. And "user" is relative to the situation.

A Formula 1 car is not designed for novices, but it gives the driver maximum control in a very high-stress situation. I would suggest that the interface is as "friendly" to the intended user as millions of $cash and hours of research can possibly make it.

The CLI is the result of 30-40 years of similar evolution, and the fact that it has survived this long, and mutated in the helpful ways mentioned by the article, would similarly suggest that many users find it useful. I know I do, and I'm a user.

Down voted for speaking factually. If, for instance, I were to start a museum of sounds with a rotary telephone sound in there, I'd source an old rotary telephone and do some nice, clear and most importantly dry recordings of it. But what would I know?
I disagree. You think he's recommending the Volvic brand of bottle water? Or suggesting a specific coffee shop? Keeping up with your fitness regime can be done with paper and pen; it desn't need a smartphone and a special app. He's not even suggesting his Macbook Pro and Textmate (both definitely premium choices) aid him really, he's just brand-name dropping.

I'm not criticizing the author, but just highlighting that he either implicitly or explicitly uses brands to form habits, and how he reinforces them with this very blog post (there is little reason to mention Octopus Card 3 times in the article, nor red bull five times).

And for those looking to build brands, it hammers home just how valuable they can be if they form a part of someones habits. This guy every day spends $5 to go and buy a small bottle of water and energy drink on his way to the gym instead of bulk-buying at home or drinking free tap-water because it's now part of his daily ritual. Then he will happily tell others both on his blog and in real life and advertise these products, likely without even knowing he's doing it.

I occasionally have lucid dreams without trying to do so. They're almost always a lot of fun, basically the best sandbox game you can think of.

I am struggling to imagine a situation where I would be tempted to recommend a Chromebox over an iPad to a non-savvy user. (The iPad 2 is currently available from Apple's online store for $399, and remember that the Chromebox's $329 price does not include keyboard, mouse or monitor.)

The only thing coming up for me is if the non-savvy user's vision is really horrible, such that he or she will always be using a big TV as a monitor, then the Chromebox wins because even with Airplay Mirroring, the user would have to look at the iPad to manipulate the elements of the iPad's user interface.

I think you are letting your enthusiasm for Google's commitment to innovation or your enthusiasm for ChromeOS's being based mainly on open-source codebases or your enthusiasm for the open web bias your thinking about what would be best for a non-savvy user!

> This looks to the user like the app actually starting, but what they've really done is buy themselves several seconds of load time.

I don't know what's so bad about that. We (programmers) have been doing this stuff since beginning of time. Caching is nothing different than what he describes and calls it deceptive.

As long as there's an impression of speed and the user doesn't actually feel like he's waiting too long everything is fine.

For our current project we render views into images and animate transitions between those images and not the views itself. Only to make it look more smooth and speedy. And I still can sleep at night :)
Even for the US government this seems like a real stretch though. I mean, what did they think was going to happen? There is ostensibly no case here. I would just love to know what their plan was and how they thought it'd lead to the end of Megaupload.

Anyway, as long as the US political system keeps pandering to the whim of Hollywood, the Internet will keep on knocking it out the park.
I can see major benefits from a learning point of view, and admit to wishing for the source code of some apps on my own phone for this purpose.

There are only so many HelloWorld tutorials I can read/implement (in other languages, non-mobile), before getting bored of doing tiny, completely unrealistic things with code.
Seeing how a larger codebase, particularly one that I've been using as an app for some time, is structured and hangs off device services (lbs, vibration, or even just graphics) is of huge interest to me

Hypertalk has gone on from strength to strength. I'm surprised that the Ars Technica writer should be so uninformed.

Runtime Revolution have been providing a Hypercard environment for at least a decade, and the technology they acquired had been in use since about 1992 (it was originally designed for Unix environemnts).

Runrev's Livecode produces hypercard-like applications that run on Windows, OS X, linux, android, and iOS. It also runs server-side, but I have no use for that part of the tecnology.

Was I the only person who read the headline and thought "Wait, was it meant to?". The word "falls" has very negative connotations and could have been chosen better surely? :-)
As tech geek it's not clear to me what the "device"'s capabilities are. Is it running Linux? Can you install your own OS? Is it a PC? Is it a console? Is it a TV with with browsing capabilities? The page is very vague on that.

The only clear thing is that you plug mouse/keyboard/monitor in it, but that's it. I'm not sure what exactly that "device" is and does.

I've taken a month off twice in my career. It was truly refreshing. One of those times I did build a site that I brought to completion. It wasn't successful (I didn't really have a grasp on the promotion/marketing part of things) but it was rewarding to do. The other time I took a break for other reasons.

One benefit/consequence (depending on how you look at it) is that when you return to work (depending on where you are), you may find that it takes awhile for work to figure out how to re-integrate you into the workflow since they've kept rolling without you. In my instance, it made for a gradual re-adjustment back into the things, but it may not be what you want, and I suppose you also run the risk of a workplace deciding they can get by without you while you're gone.

3-D Printing's Legal Morass
This is absolutely perfect for my business' use case: 4 customer support advisers who currently use Win7 with just browsers open to our custom built web app. This will be so much cheaper and less maintenance. Only downside is that while it supports 2 screens currently (I'm hoping an update fixes this real soon) it can ridiculously only show the same thing on both screens! No extended desktop.

I was first to buy one at PCWorld on Tottenham Court Road in London yesterday for £279. Will be testing it out next week.

I appreciate that all of these articles are undoubtedly bias in favour of Megaupload however a lot of the facts lead me to believe that it will be near impossible for them to lose.
