You guys are totally missing the point. Although I'm typing this on a new Chromebook that does an amazing job at serving me the web I still need to run Pro Tools, which really does require a lot of hardware once projects become complex enough. Although a huge percentage of what we currently do with computers can effectively be accomplished on top of rather modest hardware, what is left is of critical importance: video/audio production, computationally intensive research, etc.

It can be argued that one could just do those things on Windows / Linux instead, but that is a pretty poor solution for anyone who is already used to Mac OS X or who owns other Apple hardware such as their Thunderbolt display.
Good concept, like the layout. :)
A desktop is usually noisy. Recently it gets really hot where I live, and I can see the noise difference my desktop fans make VS the same conditions in Winter... By the way, are there some manufacturers of desktop cases which you could recommend to reduce the noise?

I like your idea of having the PC in a different room than the actual screen and controls. But that's not really an option if you rent an apartment and cannot drill holes through the walls :)
Wow, i think the most difficult part is the parsing, isn't it? Are you using any open-source solutions or is everything custom-built?

The 'word' tree is cool.

One minor glitch - Google feeds the login 'Afrikaans' as my first language which then makes the application default to 'Dutch' which is a completely different animal.
Please, don't take this the wrong way. But reading your post, it comes across a bit arrogant. How is it possible that everyone on the team is lazy and useless apart from you?

When you say: "And I don't want to start my own startup: all my projects fail and I don't have high social skills." I would suggest you to ask yourself WHY your projects fail. Perhaps what you really should do is to improve your social skills and try to be more humble?

My advice to you is, work hard, be humble, don't obsess what other people do. And eventually you will shine.
Aha .. smart default!

Darwin[1] is not the kernel, is the operating system. The kernel is called XNU[2] which was a combitation of a non microkernel version of Match with the 4.3BSD unix kernel interface. Apple remplaced the 4.3 BSD code with FreeBSD code[3].

Marissa Mayer: Google’s Chic Geek
Realistically, how many downloads are really done via international 3G roaming? Much less than 1% I would suspect. And while it's true that there are some plans with absurdly inflated roaming costs that could still drive up the overall average to $2+, it would be beyond incompetent for Amazon to agree to such plans for their Kindles.

One factor that nobody seems to have mentioned so far: was this massive delivery fee in any way knowable to the author beforehand? I'd consider it a bit disingenuous of Amazon if they hide it.
> How did the creators ensure they had images

You don't need a different picture for every single pixel: if the picture is large enough, you can easily crop it and use it to cover few thousands pixels.
What's this? I saw some pictures flashed after some loading indicators are shown...
Isn't that the same debate as CCTVs surveillance in London ? They were placing surveillance cameras everywhere to say it would be more effective to fight crime, but actually it does not do anything to prevent it. At most, they can get some pictures of what ever happened, but that does not prevent it from happening in the first place.

Having drones is basically a very similar idea, while the camera is moving.

I don't think we need more effective police force. We DO need more effective control over our government and policies that extend powers over our lives.

Your not breaking "the law" as nobody can come and arrest you for running OSX on your PC.

The worst that could happen is that Apple would try to sue you, but have there been any successful cases of this? End user being sued that is , not companies that were selling PCs with OSX on.
Did you just grab attention by saying "Fuck it" and removed it once you got to the frontpage?

Company patents "Email read receipt"
Both google and apple are choking developers and innovation. There was a time that we could build whatever we wanted and the only judge of our work was the customer. These days, all the real estate is owned by google and apple. So in order to get in front of a customer and have them decide whether they want our app or not we have to make the landlords happy first. It's completely screwed up and will kill all innovation.
Biggest problem with that is the lock-in. Tying technology to provider is not an option for many of us.

Name spacing isn't that hard. Facebook should be able to call it Camera - and to differentiate it from another Camera app, call it Facebook Camera. Trying to trademark dictionary words is just silly.

1) yeah, but what is new is that such drones could fly at a much lower altitute, and be able to take pictures in great detail, with great stability, enabling face recognition, car tracking and so on. There's basically no frontier to the possibilities offered. A drone could follow someone between 2 houses, not a plane.

2) As long as you are talking about unmanned vehicles, everything's electronic. The way it captures information, the way it shares/stores information, how this is done without your consent, etc... in germany and some other countries people complained about the privacy abuse of Google cars, but this goes way beyond: it will be used by goverment or local state power, and there will close to nothing you can do to alter their practices.

It's actually very relevant to the EFF mission. There's no "online" and "offline" once the two worlds are constantly bridged together.
Completely agree on the awesomeness of multiple cursors and ST2 in general. The official documentation has some more tips: http://www.sublimetext.com/docs/2/multiple_selection_with_th...

Fortunately, other editors are already adopting similar features. Just today I was fiddling around with Ace, a web-based code editor, and noticed that they support multiple cursors too! Just select multiple words while pressing the Ctrl (or Cmd) key.

Live demo: http://ace.ajax.org/build/kitchen-sink.html

The nicest thing is that I only found this by accident because I'm so used to using multiple cursors in ST2. It's a great feeling to be surprised that something works just the way you sub-conciously expected :)
I used Aperture and Keynote a lot, and I liked them. But Aperture has gone down the drain - there were lots of regressions of Raw support for various camera's (search the discussions forum for plenty of examples). Also, it has become slow, the interface regularly freezes, and feature-wise the gap with Lightroom widened (e.g. denoising in Lightroom is far and far better). Since Apple didn't seem to care, I switched to Lightroom.

Keynote was and is a great presentation application. But PowerPoint 2008 surpassed it, PowerPoint 2011 even more. The only major feature missing from Powerpoint is magic move. Other than that, PowerPoint has better table and chart tools, better graphics, and at the very least adjusts font sizes automatically when necessary.
A far better name. I hope Facebook use this - and fill your pockets with gold.

"In most real-world applications, MySQL authentication and privileges have absolutely no effect on security."

To me, that makes as much sense as:

"In most real-world applications, file permissions have absolutely no effect on security."

Or:

"In most real-world applications, running services under isolated uids instead of running everything as root has absolutely no effect on security."

It's a bold claim, but one made with no evidence to back it up.
In my experience and in most of the reports I've read the "long tail" is pretty thin. Unless you're continuously updating and marketing your apps sales will trickle off. I'm sure some apps are an exception to this.
Update Freezer - a must have tool for windows
Audio folks like to have as much power as possible - it allows them to pile on plugin after plugin without much fuss.

Every bit of CPU power gained from an upgrade is promptly put to use in doing audio processing .. and I would imagine that this Audio guy is probably using Pro Tools or Logic, and has reached the ceiling for what he can do without upgrading to a faster CPU.

Fact is, Mac Pro's are no longer the really best solution for a high-end audio/studio situation - sure, they look good as furniture, but for the same price you can get 2x the number of plugins running on self-built hardware. This matters in the audio business.

(Disclaimer: My DAW is a Linux machine. It rocks. I also have a portable DAW: Macbook Pro. It also rocks.)

>>RMS' approach to a business which produces proprietary software is, essentially, "Your business is evil, you are evil, and I will crusade to end your evil."

He's been around for some years now. He's had the time to formulate his thought on matters. It's okay to not know what exactly he said/wrote, but it's not okay to just make up stuff you thought he might say based on your own biases.

What he actually wrote, is:
"Over the years, many companies have contributed to free software development. Some of these companies primarily developed non-free software, but the two activities were separate; thus, we could ignore their non-free products, and work with them on free software projects. Then we could honestly thank them afterward for their free software contributions, without talking about the rest of what they did."
Which is a far cry from what you assumed he might have had to say about it.
Take a look around, you'll see: http://confluence.jetbrains.net/display/Kotlin/Welcome

As I see it:

- The goal of Kotlin is to be as fast as Java and have full interoperability with it, but to be more concise and to be simpler than other JVM languages as for example Scala.

- It's for people who want to code in a language with different syntax and features than Java, but don't want to leave the Java ecosystem (JVM, libraries, community...) and aren't satisfied (or enough impressed?) with the other JVM languages.

Oh, and that list with programming languages isn't really reliable. When I go to J in the table I see: Java, Java 2 Micro Edition and Java Servlet. Micro edition and Servlet aren't languages, all 3 entries should be merged into just one - Java. I can assume how many other errors are there. I see jQuery is a language too! :)

WinRT feels foreign on many fronts.

I'm evaluating Win8 for us, and I compiled few of the examples that MS provided. My absolute first impression was that it's hard to debug these applications:

While there was a time, where few or more files were auto-generated, now there are dozens more. On top of that not one project, but two - one container (dll, your app), the other one - the runner (some small exe).

And then press F11 (debug), and see what happens - you are debugging full screen app (metro), and your debugger is running on the desktop. I don't have two monitors, so it might be better there - but what about people with laptops, or other mobile forms that ARE supposed to be the Windows 8 primary devices?

It seems like Windows 8 is collection of ideas, not very well stringed together. I like the "hooking" of one app to another, but it seems too limited - I was much more expecting docking of apps, even if it had some hard limits, but not only 2 apps side-to-side.

Things might improve, but I doubt many people would do professional software that is entirely for Metro. Once you do that, you are taking away from people the ability to run other apps at the same time on top of them.

For example, I regularly run DeskPins, and then I can pin on a window to stay on top - for example notepad, or something else. Now this is not possible.

The File Open/Search aspect is also strange. One thing that I loved of the Open File Dialog in normal Windows is that I can actually put a real URL from http, and it would download the file somehow, and later I can reopen it. Now this is gone.

The whole direction makes sense for mobile devices, but not for professional tools, unless the tools are modified that much that it won't hurt.

In our game studio, it's typical to see Maya/Motion Builder working together with two or three other tools opened, and often they cooperate - one tool displays data, the other edits it - now how... and why would I want to change this into the Metro way?
Andy Hertzfeld's opinion is relevant because he was one of the key people behind the original Macintosh released in 1984.
I wish the Terrestrial Planet Mapper and Terrestrial Planet Imager had been funded. It was proposing to fly an armada of nulling interferometers in space using optical interferometry capable of imaging planets around other stars at 25x25 pixel resolution.
I think that if you install the Windows 7.1 SDK, you should be able to choose Platform SDK and target it, rather than the built in compilers.

Couple of old projects (ha sw top on linux) that I've worked the soultion was using C and Python. C for the system stuff and Python for the CLI-part. Which worked quite nicely on that division. My personal taste would have been to use Python a bit more, but the division was 'set to stone' at the start of the project and some managers were inclined to change it.
Well Mozilla partnered with Telefonica on this one: http://www.openwebdevice.com/

So I guess only a hardware vendor is missing?
How to manage your project status meetings
You're breaking "the law" in that you are (in the US at least) violating the DMCA (Possibly, like I said, grey area).

Having said that, I am not interested in arguing pedantic semantics about about what constitutes "the law" and what "breaking" it entails.

This is a good feature, but it seems now the temporary AWS access keys of the IAM role will be accessible to any application running on the EC2 instance, not just the one with the config files like before. I wonder if this will create any unexpected security issues? New kinds of trojans?

I think the support status of OS X hardware (and software) is reason enough to switch to Windows or Linux for anything computationally intensive. They seem to throw it away at a whim.

Windows 7 is supported until 2020! Linux is supported until whenever you want it to be (you have the source).

Being used to something doesn't really cut it if you ask me.
Oh yes. It gives you multiple cursors as discussed upthread, with multiple selections. You could then for example press backspace, leaving all the occurrences gone with the cursors left in their place, ready for you to type something new.
