Hi Tim,

Thanks for the feedback. These are great suggestions and we already have plans for them.

1. Yes, we are planning on releasing two version later. Version 1 would have jQuery stripped except for the parts that we need which would be a lot smaller (I think we mainly use the measurement and positioning routines). Version 2 would be for if you already have jQuery in which case it would use your version of jQuery. We would, of course, have to run unit testing to make sure it worked on past versions of jQuery.

2. Actually, all of the features are already implemented this way, even fairly basic features like bold/italic and the Shutter focus. We will be creating an online Editor builder that will let you choose what you want and it will build you an optimized version that includes only those features. You won't have to do any of the work to create it. We will probably enable you to save multiple configurations under your account as well. It will also create sprites for you so that you get only one image and it will only contain the images that you need.

We already have an API that abstracts the differences between each browser but we want to make sure it is stable before releasing it.

I've been thinking about this issue recently... I've come to a conclusion: I don't support copyright in it's current form (at all, in any situation). I think it should be similar to the patent system - the knowledge/information is shared for free with all the world, but the commercialization of the idea is limited - you shouldn't be able to make money using copyrighted stuff, but private persons should be able to copy it at will. The alternative would be, as with the patent system, to never release your idea to the public, but keep it private instead.

I didn't see any per-feature limitations for device support, only "iPhone 3GS and above." Does this mean that Siri is coming to the 3GS and 4 models?
So what you're saying is that the 350m iOS devices sold and the 400m credit card holding accounts Apple has and the record breaking revenues - that's all going to go by the wayside when Microsoft release a version of Windows Phone OS where you can alt-tab into a legacy mode version of Windows 7? Perspective indeed.

> The Finder is still pretty brain-dead. Windows explorer

I thought that power-users used PathFinder? (Though I don't know if that's even still in active development. Last time I seriously used OSX was 10.3 ~ 10.4).
It is more like the defendant shows that e.g. french users access the .fr domain and it would be disproportionate to block other TLDs (especially if it is legal elsewhere). (At least in the court cases I've seen in France)

(btw it is not usually a government, but a court asking for this).

It would be pretty bad if that wasn't the case, then everything would be censored to the least common denominator (India + Europe + Middle East + ...). Or companies wouldn't be able to operate in those countries.

Good point, you could get some energy back that way.
The ironic thing to me is that in order to enforce the idea of an Internet Bill of Rights, you have to throw anonymity out the window. How do you defend an anonymous user in court?

It's not a bad idea, but how do we defend the anonymous users?
Simply stating, in law, that the Bill of Rights applies to the Internet would suffice (I would hope).

As for the right to use the Internet, that would invalidate Three Strikes laws. So expect major watering down if this ever makes it to a floor vote.
Ahh... that makes more sense.

We'll put this on the roadmap. There are reasons why we left it off initially, it's easy to implement, but in retrospect we can see the demand for it.

I'm actually wondering why getting an internship is so hard, I thought most startups would love having other helping hands on board for free and being able to help them learn at the same time?

I haven't had any interns yet but would like to take one or two onboard soon (once we get a real physical office in a month or two). For those who have taken on interns did you find it was a good or bad experience? Would you recommend it for a relatively new startup? (1 year old, launched and ramen profitable but with no employees)

I love teaching and helping others so thought it would be fun and a great win-win way to both help a student and get their help in return, but am interested in hearing others thoughts on it.
> why have a HDMI port if you have two Thunderbolt ports?

> [...]

> In fact, why not just have three Thunderbolt ports

Avoids needing a dongle when plugging into an HDTV or an HDMI overhead projector, I'm guessing. They probably considered the pros and cons and ended up thinking two TB ports were enough and HDMI was requested often enough it would make sense, especially as they'd axed both GigE and FW800.

And one of the TB port will often be used for e.g. a GigE adapter.

[edit: I've only used Snow Leopard]
If you look at Silicon Valley startups, it's basically almost all Macs, with the possible exception of Windows + Excel for CFOs at the larger companies, and Windows + CAD for people doing hardware design at a serious level. i.e. conference tables have MagSafe power adapters zip tied to them semi-permanently, since that's what almost everyone uses.
As much as I love this new Macbook Pro with this beautiful retina display, Mountain Lion is just another iteration in the iOS direction and I still don't like the user experience. As usual, I will use several tools to get back to the old but good desktop metaphor with less shiny but functional features.
Not for nothing, but if you converted your text editor into a commenting system or wiki type product for site visitors on certain pages it would make for a beautiful commenting system, but that would essentially force everyone to pay $299.

If I was you I might consider a wordpress plugin for $50 to replace the visual editor. A lot of non-technical people on wordpress would appreciate something cleaner.

I've been using MeetingBurner for about 3 months now, and it's not just the price (free) that won me over, it's the ease of use for participants compared to the other services.

When you're dealing with clients, a bad web meeting experience can damage your reputation, even though you had nothing to do with why it was bad.

I use Screenleap.com when I need to show things quickly, and MeetingBurner when I'm doing a more formal meeting and need both a conference line and a traditional screencast.

There are only two UX issues I have with MeetingBurner, and that's the need to download an "app" each time I present (which I can deal with), and the fact that the conference line doesn't beep when new people join the call (which really needs to change ASAP).
I really have to object to the idea that verbal leases are common in Chicago. I think if you set out to find an apartment, an attached house, a carriage house, or a freestanding house today, you'd have a very hard time finding one that didn't have a written lease attached to it.

But obviously this is a tangent. To whatever extent verbal leases are common or not, it's impossible to argue that formal written leases are uncommon. They are the norm.

> The current version of Chrome would allow someone to, within a few clicks, grab a pile of passwords

With a USB stick and one click anyone can install malware that would give complete control of the computer to the user remotely.

> Computer goes to IT guy where you work for repairs/updates.

IT repair guys generally need admin access to the computer and will have all the time in the world to install any number of malware for remote access.

> but what Chrome does today is, in my opinion, at the very least irresponsible

For Chrome to add a master password would be irresponsible because it would give users the illusion of security they don't have. All OSes already have password protection against innocent peeking with user accounts and the ability to lock your computer when you walk away.

If you are hacking or doing office work (and not gaming), you can easily support an additional 1080p monitor over USB2 using DisplayLink tech. I did it in a former life using a 13" MBP and over a Belkin USB2 hub, even with no glitches.

With USB3 now, you could probably run several. I bet you could get 4 HD monitors easy.
Yes, that certainly occurs, but then the question becomes whether this increased choice for companies due to globalization makes it a buyer's market, forcing the sellers (states and countries) to lower their prices (corporate taxes and such) to the point of eventually going bankrupt, leaving the corporations a the dominant organizing force of civilization as some sci-fi authors have predicted. (Obviously this would take probably hundreds of years to happen in reality, on contrast to the sci-fi stories which are frequently "near-future".)

"Yes, you should always use strncpy() instead of strcpy() for instance, but that doesn't protect you from all bugs."

I agree with your argument, but I don't enjoy encouraging programmers to use strncpy and co... the reason is simple, I don't want to encourage programmers to stop thinking about their code. Not having to think about something is great, when laziness is acceptable (RAD, web development etc.) but not in the general case...

Most of the time, the programmer should be smart enough to not fall foul of the problems strncpy avoids. The argument against the copy function in "learn C the hard way" implies that the programmer doesn't understand the code, language, or platform particularly well...

Mine is a fundamentally flawed argument though... as much as I want to live in a world where people can write code properly, the truth is idiots will always be out there. Although, as such, I would rather my code did shoot them in the foot if they were stupid enough to load it up and point it that way before firing... :)

Users don't care yet. I think this will be looked on as a blip some time in the future. Once enough of the this generation has enough embarrassing or undesired information shared there will be a shift. They don't value the privacy yet because they haven't learned the value of it yet. I say give them time. Eventually they will learn that value and then the Facebook and company will have will see people wanting to control it.

With this kind of price tag, apple will lose the school market. How can a student afford it?
Tim,

So I wasn't looking for a completely free internship because I've seen a lot of startups who want to get "free labor" than actually provide anything in return.

That being said, there are a lot of startups like yours who might actually provide value to the interns.

Also I didn't want to commit to something I wasn't going to like doing since mediocrity is the worst enemy of startups.Due to this a lot of startups are skeptical of hiring interns.

It really depends on the person. Its my second day at Flightfox and I love what I am doing and know the business inside out. I am as passionate about it as the founders.

My view is that the really great interns come to you rather than you going out to search for them :)
I think 2880x1800 is pretty mind-blowing. Steady improvements have been the norm in most areas. But display resolutions have been stagnant at best.
I was told the remote team can be managed remotely should not exceed 6 employees, more than that you need a team leader or a local manager.
This all seem to be catching up, step by step with features that android just added in the last few months. But the timing is so close that they've probably been in development at ~about the same time. I wonder if these happen because both apple and google have a little bit of inside intel on each other. Or because these features are just obvious iterations that both came up with separately.
I have no problem paying for good software. The cost seems in the ballpark if it had all the features I need.

I would want the ability to add different classes other than just h1, h2.

Most of my projects will be using twitter bootstrap or jquery UI so it has to integrate well.

The link popup does not have the ability to add a target. For UGC, I would like the ability to force a target and add google analytics code.

If you think this is the case, you really don't get it. You may as well be living under a rock.

Windows 8 is going to go over like a fart at the opera. It's Vista all over again. They're pissing off developers and consumers at the same time. They really don't know how to pick their battles.

Palo Alto store says no, and no idea when they will be getting in. You can buy them online though.
Sounds like you didn't read the article. For example rather than using 'override' if you use the Q_DECL_OVERRIDE macro it will spit out 'override' when you want to compile with C++11 and when you don't it does nothing. Not a fan of modern C++ or can't use C++11 for some project, but you can for others? Qt has your back while from your tone wxWidgets forces you to not use the new C++11 features.

Because people hate dongles. Especially when they're $30-$50 from apple. Might as well have native HDMI since a majority of consumer electronic still have them, and just about nothing has Thunderbolt yet.

And again. People HATE buying, carying, and remembering dongles.

Yes, "Command-X" handles that case. Pretty much every editing shortcut from Windows converts over by using command in place of ctrl. Though I couldn't state that that's always been true, it has been as long as I have used Macs (late '06).

Yes, there is a cut/copy/paste (CMD+X, CMD+C, CMD+V).

There was a time (don't recall which iterations) in which the MAC OS finder didn't support those three for _files_ - but I think they've always worked for images/text/etc...
This has been added in 10.7 (albeit by a slightly different means):

"Command-C" then "Command-Option-V" will remove the originating file.

I actually like it better; you get to decide how to treat the files when the operation is actually executed, not when you initiate it. This negates the need to go back and remove the files when you realize you meant to Ctrl-X instead of Ctrl-C.

A source: http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/29/cut-and-paste-mac-os-x-lion/

(And to the other replies: he means in Finder. Cutting files hasn't been possible prior to 10.7)

It's a jealousy tick.

I remember the same behavior in high school (which was a long time ago). People would make fun of you for anything you were really obsessive over.
So is it impossible or impractical because of the components not meeting Android 4.0 requirements, or is it because of software and driver issues?

I've never really seen a clear answer. Whatever the Cyanogen Mod team is up to, it must be damned tricky.
I don't quite follow your last point, unless you're mocking wxWidgets. Qt doesn't require you to jump to the C++11 bandwagon, unless you want to. In fact, that post even explicitly highlighted how the old signals and slots will continue to work, and how several of the new Qt macros are no-ops on legacy C++ compilers. Seems like Qt's got your back no matter what your attitude on modern v. older C++.

As for the key to passwords:

1. I lose my domain.

2. Email continues to trickle in to the domain thief, addressed to me.

3. Thief gleans various web sites and businesses that I have a relationship with.

4. Thief begins to ask for password resets all over town.

4a. My bank sends email that a bill has been paid. Thief gets to work guessing my security question, or just calls the bank and talks his way into my account. I am sometimes amazed just how easy it is to get my bank to talk to me about my account over the phone, no doubt because they don't want to piss me off.
This may be a bit off-topic, but I have to wonder why I see laptop screens with much higher resolution than desktop monitors. It just seems so backwards (in terms of practical use) that as screen size increases, the screen resolution seems to decrease. So now in many ways most desktop rigs are inferior to a 15" laptop as far as productivity goes.

My intuition for the cause, is that the more surface area of the screen, the harder it is to consistently manufacture the panels without defects. But I'm not convinced because I'd imagine such incredibly high resolutions on laptop panels must be pretty demanding technology as well.

I just want 2880x1880 30" monitors for my office :)
Apple intros new iPad Smart Case: clever enough to cover both sides
It's not meant for students. The new MBP is primarily marketed towards graphics designers/photographers/etc. In fact, the focus in WWDC presentation was on graphics applications. Plus, most students don't need 16gb ram and other powerful features. A Macbook Air would suffice.
Yes, the threshold seems a bit low for a switch. But in general, I think it's a worthy upgrade and an overall good machine. Higher resolution display plus thinner design is enough for me to be convinced, but then I'm upgrading from a late-2008 MBP.
This is really cool. I wish that links within the tweets were clickable, but that's a minor gripe.
