I can't say one way or the other, but I know Linus develops on a Macbook Air. I'm sure hardware support isn't too horrible if that's the case.

but there is a "15 inch air" from samsung, http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/09/15-inch-samsung-series-9-... , which is along the lines the parent must have been thinking of.

I think the 15 inch macbook as just announced is a far better option, with a single weak point (7 hrs) compared to an air-style form factor which would be weaker at everything - except weight and slightly thinner form factor.

basically, if all someone wants to do is type on it and not have to think about carrying it with them or not (e.g. a reporter for stories, student for essays, CEO for emails), a 15 inch air was not announced today. for everyone else, what was just announced is better than the 15 inch air.
Hey, this is a very good question. We're currently working out an auth solution that we'll implement directly at the transport level. We haven't figured out every detail yet, but we'll be sure to give more insight on that matter as soon as possible - we understand how important it is as soon as we leave the realm of toy apps.

>Its sensitivity and resolution should make it possible to image directly rocky planets beyond our Solar System.

This is unprecedented, right? I have been wondering for a while if such a thing is or will be possible. I assumed the distances were simply too great.

I see now that it is possible to directly image gas giants, but not to my knowledge small rocky planets.

...wealth we never really possessed.
Except: (1) Politics and public debate is multidimensional and not a single axis with a clear "left" and "right" as people sometimes mistakenly imagine; multiple and different extrema are possible. (2) On the axis where RMS appears to stand, I do not believe his position to be the most extreme one possible. (3) Just the way most people fail to understand that politics is multidimensional, without broad knowledge, they will often mistake one political axis for another. I believe people misunderstand RMS and project their own ideals about freedom and ascetic saints/prophets onto him. I do not believe RMS to be a champion of freedom that many people who had heard of him do. There exists an equally idealistic view, from where his positions are not wrong because they are fanatical, they are wrong period.

Take what RMS wrote about the early days of Symbolics. When you read him, you begin to realize that he believed the community of hackers that developed at MIT to be a goal unto itself, not as a means to achieve something specific. This is in spite of the fact that every individual who started hacking at MIT (this ironically includes RMS) surely saw himself as pursuing a specific goal. It is hard to reason with a man who believes that groups of people exist in and of themselves, independently of individuals and their goals. The only possible consequence that can stem from such a position is to define freedom as a property of groups, not of individuals, which is completely alien to the notion of freedom as most people (at least in the U.S.) understand it. The exact same position, when held by people in other countries, has lead to tyrannies being established, both of right- and left-wing kind.

The issue that ESR is raising is a very practical one -- RMS has become the de facto spokesperson for the free software movement, which hurts free software more than it helps it.

That's a real flaw, a old 15" MBP with 1680x1050 would practically be a better choice. This is just dumb, that a 2880x1800 display is worse than a 1680x1050 display because of the way the software handles these resolutions. Unless I'm missing something...

The components might meet Android 4 requirements but you often don't have the info needed to write drivers for them

Typically for lower end parts the makers implemented the simplest cheapest thing they could get away with - so buggy limited and out of date drivers - and they have bought in modules from others, so nobody has the complete specs.

For better system the code in the SoC (and GPU especially) is what distinguishes it from other models and competitors so they are very careful about who they give details out to. Otherwise you could buy their $1 SoC and turn on the features in the $5 part.

If you are a Samsung or an Apple you can control the supply chain better and insist on having the info and compliant drivers - but most of these are aimed at mobile phone makers who rely on you having to buy a new model every 18months rather than doing updates.

Cyanogen etc do a very good job of custom kernels but they can rarely insert a much newer driver into an older chipset.

The goroutine is a user-thread, Go can create as many threads as there are cores and schedules user-threads inside these threads without the programmer managing that, you just create goroutines. When a goroutine "blocks" it schedules out from the thread and another can replace it.

iOS 6 is not compatible with: iPad 1

Damnit, did I just have an aneurism? Seriously, the iPad 1 isn't old (or doesn't feel old to me), and it came out around the same time as the iPod touch 4th generation, which is supported. I'm really getting sick of this "throw-away hardware" culture that Apple is enforcing.
Just because they don't use OS X doesn't mean they use Windows. As a Computer Science student I'm willing to bet that most of those that "banter" on the parent use Linux.
This seems hugely misleading as an economic barometer. Isn't it the case that real estate wealth was surging absurdly [in 2007], obscuring a rise in debt? If debt growth has leveled off, it seems like the story is Americans getting their shit together and stopping their debt accumulation, not "losing" bubble wealth. No?

Did I just read this right "iOS 6 brings even better web browsing to your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch." .... "And when you’re posting a photo or video to eBay, Craigslist, or another site, you can take photos and video — or choose from your Camera Roll — without leaving Safari." mobile web just took a huge step forward if so.....
My thoughts:

- Passport looks really cool. I also can't help but think this app is a further hint to an iPhone 5 "NFC" feature

- Really impressed by maps. I hope it works as good as it looks. I'm currently using MotionX GPS Drive for turn by turn directions and I can't wait to get rid of it

- Do Not Disturb: THANK YOU. Turning on Airplane mode at night was a bad substitute for this much-needed feature

- Siri enhancements are nice, but would have loved to see API integration. I understand why they aren't doing this (yet), though. iOS would need, at the very least, some kind of Andriod-like "intents" system to make it work. Even better would be a standardized way to "teach" Siri about things (think RDF). This seems like one of those things they won't release until they really make sure it's done correctly, as otherwise the disparity between how Siri works natively and what it understands via API integration would be laughable.

- Also with respect to Siri, I'd like to see Apple improve the voice synthesis. Don't get me wrong, it's pretty good, but it also isn't state of the art. The voice could be made smoother and better able to communicate Siri's "mood" (if and when Siri is synthesized to have one). Even without a "mood", her voice could stand to be less monotone. I would also like to be able to purchase different voices.

- Guided Access (specifically the "one app mode") is going to be huge for enterprise as well as education. I've been on more than a few iPhone "enterprise feasibility" projects where the fatal bullet was lack of the company's ability to lock out the home screen

- Facebook integration is nice (and predictable). I really look forward to the contacts and calendar integration more than anything

- I thought they might announce third party apps for Apple TV, but I bet they're going to wait until the new TV product announcement for that

And if anyone at Apple is reading, here's my obligatory wish-list:

- Siri API integration and expandability (duh)

- A "guest code" if you have a password lock. I shouldn't be worried about prying eyes if someone borrows my phone. I should just tell them to enter "1234" on the lock screen and it should open up to some kind of "guest account" with none of my personal data, push notifications, browser history, emails, etc.

- Better support for external displays in the iTunes and Maps apps. If I am driving, I'd like my car's display to show me the artist and song information at minimum. I won't switch to Map's turn by turn unless it integrates with my external display. If it does, I'd like it to overlay new artist and song information briefly when I change tracks
One of the benefits of an outfit like Trinet is that since they manage so many employees they get good prices on benefits. Trinet has all kinds of discounts they offer employees on buying computers and lots of other stuff. It's basically taking advantage of economies of scale for HR.
Apple discontinues 17-inch MacBook Pro
And yet the 3GS is supported. I think I'm right in saying that almost no one would have worried too much if Apple had dropped the 3GS too. They would have understood that the 3GS wouldn't be able to run the latest and greatest iOS. The fact that they are supporting the 3GS and not iPad 1 is surprising.
The last two iOS releases have included popular Android selling points, i.e. the notifications windowshade and now turn-by-turn navigation. When you look at both their sue-happy patent defense and their rampant Android copying you start seeing the bigger picture of their features-race war strategy.
Most interesting part that iOS 6 will support the iPhone 3GS which is now almost 3 years old. How many Android Phones from July 2009 will support Android 4.0 ?

I think that says a lot.
Great find. We'll add that to the bug list.
Cycling? Must be US only, as is public transport. Walking is essential though.
It's a 15" laptop. It is not Air-like for any meaningful definition of "Air-like."
I'm not surprised, as iOS went thru 3 versions on iPad, and the newest hardware is far enough ahead of the old that keeping up compatibility across all versions (original hardware included) would grow strained.

But yeah, that's a big downer. I'm still lovin' my iPad 1, and won't be able to swing a replacement anytime soon (assuming the new iMacs show up, which to the surprise of many didn't today).
Airlines (you can see United as one of them in the demo) already accept digital passes. The TSA, however, requires a piece of paper so that they can mark it up and send you on your way. You still cannot get around printing a boarding pass quite yet, sadly.
For me, it's really Spaces whose usefulness was diminished in 10.7. They used to be configurable in multiple dimensions (i.e., X & Y): now they're linear only. Lame city.

> Google may have released these features into the wild faster than Apple, but when iOS6 launches this summer and then passes the Android 4.0 install base in what, 2 weeks, there will then be more Apple users using these features than Android users

That's incorrect. All of the features announced in ios 6 (and ios 5) are catching up with features available to android 2.3 users. Pointing out that ICS only runs on 7% of devices while ios 5 runs on 80% is fun marketing games. But technically, that's like comparing apples to robots.

Google has updated their apps slowly over time, as they're being developed, for devices with old OS version. While apple waits for these big announcements for the big marketing show. So android users will always be getting the fresh new features before ios users. Some of those android users with newer features will be running android 2.3. Why are we even bringing up the OS version when comparing features available to older OS versions?

(For example, you don't need to upgrade to android 4.0 to upgrade the Google Play Store app to the latest version. Which has all these social integration such "your friend has liked this app". Which is a brand new feature on ios, that android 2.3 users have already been enjoying for quite a while.)

> the iPad is no more than than a glorified toy.

Not true. I use my iPad every day. My use varies from maybe 30 minutes of email to a good few hours. On my iPad I write, I organise my day, I handle notes and document recipes for things I cook. I deliberately try to keep it a personal rather than business device but I still use it for work email, calendaring and a few bits and pieces (mostly notes). I read incessantly on the iPad and it's my primary source of daily news.

> Once Windows 8 tablets are released and become commonplace, the iPad will stand no chance.

You're betting on an unestablished fractured software experience against the main market leader? I can understand Windows 8 standing a chance against Blackberry, against WebOS and maybe against pre-ICS Android but it will take a long time for Windows 8 to catch up with Android if it blows Android out of the water. Once it's managed to get that far there has to be something seriously wrong with iOS for it to overtake. Also if you're planning on betting on Office to see you through, hate to be the one to burst your bubble but Office has been available for the iPad for months, and the iPad's had office-compatible document readers/writers that are good enough for simple documents for years.

> The iTV simply will not sell

You are right, but this is because the iTV does not exist for sale. Apple haven't announced it. There is no iTV product.

> Have you been living under a rock?

There really is no need for this type of thing on HN.

> Windows 8 is coming out this October. Several consumer previews have already been released, and hardware has been demoed. Windows 8 tablets are much more of a real entity than you seem to think.

Can I buy a Windows 8 table now? No. Can I evaluate a consumer preview version of Windows 8 on an iPad? Yes. So in a way you're right, but given that the only real entities are the wrong devices running a prototype it's not fair to compare. However, having used the consumer preview in Parallels I have to say I'm not looking forward to metro on the desktop, but on the tablet it might work well.

Of course, some people don't actually know anything about it, but I doubt this number is quite as high as 80%.

My understanding (I based this off of my father's opinion, he has been a CEO for 30+ years, and a friend who is an HR guy at startups) is that the 'normal' way of doing things is getting the reference at your current employer after the offer is signed by everyone.

Startups sometimes don't follow this convention, but that shows a lack of maturity.

I can give a half dozen former bosses and co-workers as references at any point in the interview process. I can also give current co-workers at any point in the interview process. But I'm not giving up my current boss's phone number until I have an offer in writing.

If the new company can't decide to hire me or not without talking to my boss, they're screwed anyway. Most large established companies don't allow supervisors to give much of a reference. My father's policy (coming from HR) was that if someone asked him for a reference, all he would give was 'Yes that person worked here, yes that was his title'. That's it. Nobody will give a negative reference because if the other company decides not to hire, the employee might sue you for submarining their chances at getting employed elsewhere.

So if you are relying on what the current supervisor thinks of the candidate to screen, you are in for trouble anyway. Nobody gives honest (negative) references.
Dear god why? I am actually quite unimpressed by the entire WWDC lineup, but they made so many stupid mistakes like this. There is almost no advantage to using a slightly slimmer MagSafe, and moderate cost; there would be greater advantage to a smaller iPod Dock connector, but much higher cost, so I guess they'll do that too.

One that could blow up their faces if the other vendors feel that Motorola is getting special treatment.

The bigger worry for Google is if Samsung decides it doesn't need Google anymore, forks and goes it alone in an attempt to match Apple. At that point Google Android is left with a bunch of manufacturers almost all of which are losing money.

Not a great position to be in.
