Impressive story. Hadn't heard the name before this story.
I think both TP-Link and OpenWrt are very much under-appreciated. Glad to see their names appear here.

By the way, anyone who is using Gentoo should really try to compile your own OpenWrt images. It is a fun exercise (if using Gentoo is fun for you ;)).
Amen. The content aside, the whole performance was just so puerile I have to wonder who they thought their audience was? The dancing was straight out of "The Wiggles" that my son watched when he was 3, and the singing/lyrics seemed to be trying to titillate pre-pubescent high schoolers more so than getting developers pumped up.
The Turing Solution (BBC Radio 4 programme)
yeap, strange; I'd have thought the obvious natural code would have been:

return 0 == memcmp(hash_stage2, hash_stage2_reassured, SHA1_HASH_SIZE)

As in, return a bool on whether it matched.

I mean, as I read it, the function returns true if they don't match?

Sure. FunnyJunk, from what I can tell, has no designated agent to respond to DMCA takedown requests. Thus it cannot satisfy safe harbour provisions.

I would suggest that FunnyJunk get themselves some competent legal counsel, because right now it doesn't satisfy DMCA 512. According to 17 USC § 512(c)(2), safe harbor protections "apply to a service provider only if the service provider has designated an agent to receive notifications of claimed infringement".

FunnyJunk LLC. need to provide these details "by making available through its service, including on its website in a location accessible to the public". They need to provide at least "the name, address, phone number, and electronic mail address of the agent".

And I'm sorry, but the webform at http://www.funnyjunk.com/copyright/ doesn't do this. I can assure you, that there is absolutely no way to transmit a physical or electronic signature as they have stated on their page via their form.

Judging from the store website:

- Recharge cycle every 3-4 days (compared to months/years for a traditional watch)

- No apps listed for functionalities that usually belong to a feature/sports watch (heart pulse/BP monitor, temp/moisture/altitude reading, compass)

- It's Sony

Verdict: not interested.
Apple announces high-res laptops, a smarter Siri
The idea reminds me of Sweetcron, from a few years back.
Based on this comment I think it's possible that vim isn't for you and you would probably be better suited to something like Sublime or TextMate.
But this 1$ = 1€ rule has been there for much more time. This can't be the main reason. As another poster wrote, I think the reason is rather "because they can". They may have charged a premium back in the 80s or 90s and just kept it because it worked.
No, I can't !
There's no way a provider could help you block unwanted imessages sender or unwanted facetime caller anyway.

Since Linux Mint 12 this is not the case anymore. They listened to their users, and removed the Google Custom Search.

As a convenience to its users, Linux Mint has a dedicated webpage where you can easily add search easily with one click: http://www.linuxmint.com/searchengines.php You can of course add search engines in any other Firefox supported way also.
I am not necessarily pessimistic, I do believe smart people will be able to work those things out and some maybe even will put them to good use, I am just an opponent of oversimplifying problems and sceptical of metaphors. You say: You just have to get the function you want, I would put it more as You have to get just the function you want and I think this isn't as simple, especially when those artificial organisms start interacting with environments more complex than a test tube e.g. the human body. In this case, outside of the laboratory, I think it would be valuable to know what we are doing and not "play".

This probably depends a lot on the context you would like to use those things in, but in general there are lots of warnings about potential unexpected interactions in descriptions of some of the parts and the practical projects seem to have lots of safety precautions too.

Isn't my answer in essence the same as ShabbyDoo's (currently atop this thread)? Let me rephrase it (minus the sarcasm):

As developers, isn't platform independence finally within our reach? We've been corralled into corporate SDKs, libraries and APIs for years and we've now broken free in much the same way we did on the CLI when C became standardized (yeah ... there are still issues with that too).

At the same time I'm wondering what corporate users are going to think of a radically different desktop (and one that looks more "toy-like"). We're a pretty adaptable crowd, but retraining costs are going to be as bad as when Office became ribbon-based. And where's my "Start" menu?

I'm not a Microsoft hater, but I don't think it's bad that they're less dominant.

What were you hoping to achieve with Three.js?
I wonder what Apple uses for development internally - I suppose they have clusters for fast compilation. Sucks if you are an external developer who needs to build large codebases, if this Mac Pro is the best you can buy.
I don't want to need a cheat sheet to use my text editor, I already need them for the programming language, the regexes, mathematical notation, etc. I don't want to spend a few minutes doing macros/scripting, I want to spend my minutes on the problem domain I'm actually working on. I don't like modes (see NO MODES in the Bret Victor talk), and I like positioning my cursor with a mouse.

I haven't paid for Sublime (yet), but I'm still much less annoyed by the occasional nag-boxes than by modes. I don't see a future in emacs/vim, but I am anxiously awaiting an intelligent editor such as LightTable.
If the math for the virtual instruments in this example could be run inside a data centre and then streamed to the computer , perhaps some of the need for high end local hardware is alleviated.

Music is a particularly difficult case because latency is an absolute killer. If your response time is over about 10-20 milliseconds people will start to complain. You could farm out offline rendering I suppose but so far it's a lot easier to build a big beefy workstation and freeze tracks to audio if necessary on the local disk.
Considering the power of the new macbook pro, im guessing the update will be a convergence of the iMac and Mac Pro lines into a single desktop beast machine

Web Monitoring- Spying For a Purpose
It's because of two years warranty, higher taxes, toll, and for more expensive items, smaller number of sold items.

It's not fair you singled-out Apple, since this is true for several gadgets I bought, software, or for example more expensive Canon lenses. It's not Apple specific thing.
It's simpler than that. They do it because they can.

Apple could charge allot less for everything they sell but they don't just because they can get away with it.

I'm sure nobody here really believes that the difference in price between countries has anything to do with keeping the profit margin the same everywhere :)

Web sockets are not for P2P. They're just raw TCP sockets to servers with an initial HTTP-like handshake.

Personally, I can fully understand your points, and I actually take exactly that approach (using youtube-dl + mplayer for Youtube, extracting the streaming URLs from online radios and plugging them in MPD, etc).

But, as a Linux user, I'm all too accustomed to be left out from many applications because this platform isn't profitable enough to develop to.

Browser applications break with the monoculture of Windows (or, on mobile, iOS+Android) because they're portable and open by default. And I think that has some value.

Thanks for sharing. Could you have achieved more/less with outsourcing the development? Bulk of sales came from spike-can the exceptional sales be maintained?
I hope this doesn't mean Apple are moving away from people in the creative industries. They'v gotten good at making stuff for grandmothers, five year olds, yuppies and programmers etc. etc. That's really impressive and they did a great job.

But I think their roots in the creative industries were always one of the contributing factors to the quality of their stuff. The idea that a mac is for doing things like video editing and music production is IMO a proxy for making it good at other things too.

Apple don't update their line, obviously dead. Hmm? Weird conclusion. Tim Cook has come out and said there'll be an update next year: http://www.macrumors.com/2012/06/11/david-pogue-new-imacs-an...

But the truth is, this is really self-entitled. There's huge iPhone updates on the go (iOS6 and hopefully iPhone 5 later this year), big MacBook Pro updates but that wasn't good enough. Nope, because they didn't cover Marco's chosen line of computers… they're playing a half-assed game.

Buying a computer is a 1:1 deal. You give money, they give computer (and support for a year.) That's it. That's the deal. There is no "we'll forever be in your debt" by Apple. Just because you want something, and you kick and stomp doesn't mean they should do it.

We also don't know why. There could have been a hardware issue holding them up, or a software. We've got no idea on this.

Apple are doing a pretty good job at the moment if you ask me.
As I wrote, they did have crazy EUR prices before, compared to USD.

When you ask any sales rep. of any big brand in Europe about this, they always use the "24 months warranty vs 12 months elsewhere" excuse.

I'd never buy anything from Apple, so I don't know what excuse they used, being that they illegally dodged the warranty in the past. All I am saying is that they now have both a good excuse as well as a good reason. Anything mechanical is heaps more likely to fail after 24 months than it is after 12.
I get the impression that state laws are significantly more uniform in Australia than the US... IMHO, it's more that distributors are "used to" a lower AUD, have exclusivity/best price guarantees, and so can prevent anyone importing goods (at retail scale) that undercuts them. They've got their business model worked out on the basis of higher prices, their customers are used to higher prices, and they make arguments like "hey, well, we ran a bit of an advertising campaign and submitted your product for regulatory approval". Perhaps true, but not necessarily worth the extra "tax". See the story about how the digital price for Australian buyers of The Witcher 2 got increased because the Australian distributor made a fuss: http://www.kotaku.com.au/2011/05/why-does-the-witcher-2-cost...
The (Not Yet) Big List Of Bootstrapping Resources
I feel obliged to repost this. Updated prices in Brazil:

Air 11": R$2699 -> R$3699 (1849 USD)
MBP 13": R$3599 -> R$3999 (2000 USD)
New MBP: R$9999 (4500 USD - WHAT??)
New MBP maxed out: R$15973 (~8000 USD...)

Import tax is 60% for individuals, around 40%, maybe less for importers. $2199 * 1.4 * 2.06 (today's USD, predicted to go < 1.90) = R$6340. How 2199 turns into 9999 (4.5x), or 2799 into 16000 (5.71x) is a mystery.

Now, what were you saying about being ripped off?

[edit] just for kicks I maxed out a Mac Pro: R$ 48.959,00, or 1/4 of a nice brand-new apartment.
>You don't get paid for your spare time, except in opportunity cost.

Your free time is clearly worth more than your wage/salary. If your free time were worth nothing, it would make no sense to have it. You have extra time you could get another job possibly paying up to your existing rate.

Don't like the thought of taking a second job doing what you're doing now? That's because your time is worth more to you than that cash, by definition.
Software keeps getting more nimble. Storage is moving to the cloud. There's really nothing super surprising about this move. No one had heard of thunderbolt a year ago and now all of the sudden it's a necessity?

The large majority of consumers will probably be impressed by the next gen Mac. That is the direction the entire line will be heading in and Apple clearly wants to make the differentiation clear, instead of marginally different and making people indifferent between the NGMBP and MBP.

These are not just creative decisions, they're marketing decisions, and so far Schiller hasn't done much wrong.
The delivery fee is not hidden. I found it right away when I was investigating digital comics and why so few are available via Amazon. That fee is why. We're not bound to see comic fanzines in digital form via Amazon explode as they did with mimeo and ditto. Bit of a shame.

It's notable because creative professionals were once a very important market for Macs, and yet now Apple isn't even pretending to care about them.

And creative professionals always could use more power. Even a current top of the line PC isn't enough.

Updating a Mac Pro from Westmere to Sandy Bridge E is absolutely trivial compared to creating the next MacBook Air. You can even do it at home with a Hackintosh - they are almost entirely commodity PCs in the same old boxes they've been in for years.

And yet it hasn't been done.
