He doesn't even yet get to experience what will happen when Google releases a new version of Android and you expect to see it on your tablet in a reasonable time frame.

I gave up on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 when Android 4 came out and Samsung chose to first announce and release a brand new line of tablet products running Android 4, and then slack on updating the ones that weren't even a year old at the time. The message they're sending was "oh, you want a tablet running a current OS? Why not ditch the one you just bought, and buy one of these?"

As of December, maybe three weeks after the source was released to Android 4, there were custom firmware builds for the Tab 10.1 that were 80% functional - no camera support and power management could be flaky at times. If some hobbyists coding at home at night can get a tracer bullet in a couple weeks, Samsung has no excuse for the fact that there still has been no official update released.

I prefer Android to iOS in general, but only on a Nexus device with less of a gap between Google as the software vendor and me as the end user.

Fire at Maharashtra Mantralaya Building News Video/ Photos - South Mumbai  
As said by fire brigade sources of Mumbai, on Thursday afternoon huge fire covers the Maharashtra Mantralaya Building. Spoke person said, the fire started at 4th floor of building and spread to the sixth floor. The Chief Minister’s Office located on 6th floor, but luckily at this time CM Prithivraj Chavan is not in his office.
I know that waterfall was originally meant to be iterative. What I meant by "the whole waterfall thing" was the practice of it in industry. And by "zealots who enforced weren't the brightest", I meant mainly management in enterprise development who arent' bright enough to understand what development is and so want to treat it as a repeatable process like manufacturing which is much easier to 'manage' than any kind of creative process.
I've been planning to stick an MSP430 inside an old guitar pedal unit for window switching duties. The pedal I have has four switches, I was thinking one for the editor, one for the terminal, one for the browser and one perhaps for firebug or something.

However, maybe these car style pedals would be more ergonomically suited than the little metal studs of guitar pedals, which are designed to be aggressively stamped on.

Thoughts?

This really misses the point -- and adds little to the conversation, to boot. OpenGL ES isn't OpenGL, wasn't ever intended to be OpenGL, and will never be OpenGL. Any reasons or arguments for a lack of "compatibility" are pointless for exactly that reason.

If you want to write an OpenGL->GLES translation layer, you're welcome to, but it's more like writing a layer to convert D3D calls to OpenGL than OpenGL 1.1 to OpenGL 2.0.

The analogy would have worked better if you used a Fedex jet instead of a BA one. That said, I don't think the latency of transferring large data is the best selling point for Cloudflare, especially since the acks are asynchronous and good load balancers perform quite well over long latency links.

A better selling point for distributed delivery is the round trip when you deal with multiple transactions, for example requesting a web page and then the included objects, or submitting data and waiting for a response.
This is just about the raddest thing I have ever heard.
Reasons why Android sucks: OEM's installing crapware, no unified hardware strategy, lots of crappy apps

Reasons why iOS sucks: App store monopoly, crappy memory management, no hardware freedom, read-only devices

That's really it. If you're a power user, like most of the HNers, then Android tends to be much more attractive. My ASUS Transformer Prime with keyboard dock might be the the best piece of hardware I've ever owned. I think ICS multitasking is the best I've ever seen. I've owned no less than 3 iOS devices, and I can see how they're great for the layperson who is maybe just learning to use computers for the first time, but I can't use one for 10 minutes without being frustrated with a thought like "Is that app still running in the background?" or "Why can't I customize the way this works?"

But then, that just proves I'm not 90% of the Tablet market. I don't fault Apple for going after the lowest common denominator, but doing so means there devices are of no use to me.

But that's software isn't it? The Surface Pro hardware is just an Intel Tablet (albeit the slickest one), with the real keyboard cover, this is thicker than a MBA 11", roughly the same weight, unknown battery life and price.

Here are my 2 cents:

When you have product/market fit -> you'd do the 'traditional' thing - ie Gartner reviews, trade shows, marketing etc - All that requires big money - significant investment

The interesting part though is when you are in the early/seed stages - and that's the hard problem to solve for. You are iterating, trying different things - perhaps testing different verticals.

The way we've solved that at Kormox is doing it through 'insiders' - we'd build a spreadsheet of target companies (say 300, focused on a specific vertical), then identify who we'd want to talk to (say, Johnnh Smith, CIO) - then, identify internal people in the company that have nothing to do with the CIO but you have a good change in getting 10 minutes of their time. We particularly used alumni networks - e.g. Wharton, McKinsey, Stanford GSB, etc etc.

Then you reach out to those insiders asking for 10 minutes of their time - not to sell anything, rather to get their advice/pick their brain on how you can reach out to relevant person to get opinions on your startup (you can mention you think Johnny Smith would be the right person).

It has worked really well for us. Typically those insiders would do an intro - and Johnny Smith would be happy to meet with you in that way.

We've been able to do this at scale pretty successfully.
Nice article, thanks. I find the idea that merely describing your social connections influences/changes them to be pretty insightful, so is calling the current situation a "social version of the Uncanny Valley". His advice of waiting for the current internet landscape to organically start changing into the right direction is one way to look at it, but I do not want to wait this long. There must be a less crippled way of bringing your social life online.
You know what, that's a super smart idea that I hadn't even considered. I just assumed it was to not upset consumers and/or because they've already got an entire production chain geared for producing them for absolutely nothing, but forcing it down that route does ensure Apple has a slightly easier life.

I'm not sure whom you're classifying as off-brand vs. not, but Asus has arguably the best Android tablet hardware out there and a good track record on software.

They release updates monthly, got ICS an update for old tables out fairly quickly, and don't add any intrusive changes on top. There's a small number of extra apps, but they're filling in real holes in the functionality rather than overlapping with stock apps. The amount of custom theming seems to be limited to adding a few live wallpapers and replacing the awful stock butts for the back/home/recent apps/menu buttons.

Of course they still don't have a 7" tablet out, which is a shame.

The big story is not the new start screen or even WP8. It's whether WP7.x users can download and install new apps. Can a non-native C# app that does not use any WP8 hardware features compiled for WP8 run on WP7.8? MS needs to clarify. If not, MS just screwed all their existing WP7 users and have effectively killed off all new sales of WP7 devices. Developers will continue to develop WP7 apps and any benefits to switching to WP8 for development are moot.

More alarmingly, if they did this for WM6.5 and WP7 within such a short time frame, how can any customer feel safe in buying a WP8 device? What happens when WP9 gets released? Why would anyone buy a WP now? My iPhone 3GS may not support FaceTime, Siri or Notification Center, but at least I can download new iOS 5 apps from the App Store.
To address some of your points:

1. Yes, physical shipping is more practical than using the Internet for large transfers and this is done frequently. For example, Amazon Web Services offers the possibility to send them disks: http://aws.amazon.com/importexport/ Shipping of disks is also common in the movie industry. For example, a lot of digital movie distribution to cinemas relies on shipping of hard drives.

2. I used a statistic of 0.1% packet loss on the Internet and 28,000 flights per day to arrive at 28 flights lost per day.

3. There are two interacting things happening in TCP: the congestion window (which limits the number of outstanding _packets_) and the receive window which limits the number of outstanding bytes. This blog post does not address the congestion window at all and I assume that the receive window can always be filled. Thus is _overestimates_ what might be possible on a real link.

4. For very large transfers there are improvements that can be made using UDP and there are protocols that do just that. See, for example, TixelTec.
My first reaction was that businesses would use this to do systems integration (send an email every commit, add a note in group chat before a meeting, etc.) These are already pretty easy to wire, but there's value in going from easy to trivial...
> "a $150 monitor is going to be far more useful to you than a $700 tablet"

That's going to heavily hinge on workload and day-to-day schedule. Which is the entire point: you're willing to accept 'a luxury' as useful when it fits your computing schedule, but you don't seem to recognize that anyone else might be buying a different luxury because they have a different computing schedule.

Tablets may not be that great for you. But that doesn't mean they're not that great. Your argument is blurring your absolutely legitimate personal opinion on tablets with a judgment about everyone else's opinion on them. And that's where you're wrong. Your line of thought rests on a logical fallacy. Not everyone computes like you.

And here's a test for your theory that "people are buying iPads for social status reasons": How many people?

How many tablets have to sell before you'd concede that maybe people are buying them because they find them useful?

How many people have to upgrade those iPads before you'd be convinced?

How many people have to let their PCs languish for how long, in deference to buying/upgrading tablets before you'd concede that you were wrong?

How many years do tablets have to continue to sell before you'd accept them as evidence of something other than fashion?

Is there any amount of data that will change your mind?

Or are you already reflexively rationalizing how your theory could continue to be true even if a decade from now, and billions of tablets from now, they're still going strong?
The article offers little value, but I'm always interested in conversation about this topic so I'll add my experiences here:

I'm on a contract with a company that has run the full gambit of mobile strategies over the past year. They started out by outsourcing native development of their mobile app overseas. After about 9 months of development they determined that for whatever reason, whether it be communication issues or poor product planning, the apps weren't where they wanted them to be so they decided to do a complete 180 and go with the HTML5 approach, which is what I've been working on.

We decided to go with the Sencha Touch framework because it's the most complete native-style mobile framework out there today. We've managed to recreate the native apps in just over 2 months, which is impressive considering it was a rewrite from scratch. A week ago we submitted to the app store and it was approved by Apple.

Performance on the iPhone 4s is surprisingly close to that of a native app, which gives me hope for the future of the phonegap approach. Phones and javascript engines are only going to get more powerful, so in a few years this experience should be ubiquitous for most people.

However, we're at a point in time where there are a lot of older devices, mostly running Android, that don't run HTML5 apps as nicely as they do native ones. For instance, our app is very usable on a 2 year old Android, but scrolling isn't very smooth and transitions are mostly non-existant due to the fact that hardware accelerated CSS3 animations aren't supported. I should mention that our app is mostly data (it's a productivity/collaboration app), so that helps.

I'm primarily a web developer but I've started diving into native iOS development for a side project where UX is more important. Native development isn't as bad as I had feared, but it certainly takes more time. If you're not very good at it, you'll end up with an app that really performs no better than what could have been done using HTML5. Bad code is bad code, no matter what it's written in. What keeps me from being sold on the native approach is the increasing fragmentation we're seeing on the marketplace. The thought of having to maintain three separate code-bases for Android, iOS, and Windows Mobile gives me cold sweats. Sure, there are strategies for sharing the basic logic between the three, but not nearly as turn key as simply dumping the code into Phonegap like we've done with our Sencha app.

In my humble opinion, given that we've seen near native performance on bleeding edge devices, I think that native apps will only be necessary for games and intensive content creation apps like iMovie and iWork. The vast majority of the apps out there today would work just as well as HTML5 apps.
Does anyone know why the system doesn't send over 10 packets at once, then check those packets, then ask for the packets that are not received.

Wouldn't doing it that way cut down on the latency signifigantly?

(or send the entire file, 1000s of packets) determine which don't make it and just ask for those?

This isn't my area of expertise, so I'm just curious.

I've used lots of regex tools over the years, but I stopped looking once I bought RegexBuddy.

See a demo:
http://www.regexbuddy.com/demotest.html

It's a Windows program, but runs on Linux via WINE. It lets you debug regexes, has live highlighting of matched text, generates regex code in 15+ languages (Perl, Python, Ruby, PHP, C, C#, C++, Delphi, Java, Javascript, MySQL, etc) and is all around awesome.

I'm not affiliated with this program, but it is the BEST regex creation/testing program available anywhere.

It will save you oodles of time if you create (or debug) regular expressions more than 2 times in a year. It's the best software product I've ever bought with my own money.
This is brilliant!

I only use i part of the time, however; I, a, A, o, and O are each used substantially.
Much more balanced look than the article floating around yesterday. Although, the 7" form factor seems even less practical too me. When I was purchasing a tablet, I had my mind set on the Blackberry Playbook, until I went and played with it. So small! Not enough differential from my phone screen to warrant a new device.

>"Why does Samsung insist on trying to steer users towards Samsung apps that duplicate their functionality but miss out key features that make them useful, like, oh, being able to share stuff with folks who don't own a Samsung device"

I don't understand this either. In fact, when I'm phone shopping, I refuse to buy a product that has applications installed, either by the service provider or manufacturer, that I can't remove. How naive are these companies to think that, of all the ways to mimic Apple, creating a "wall-garden" on an inferior eco-system is the choice?

First build an awesome tablet. If it takes off, invest in having some good apps developed. Or rely on the Market to sort it out. Applications should add to the experience, not give you coronary every time you use your device.

I came here to say that my father works for a company called MTU Areo Engines as an FAA RS-DER. What that means is he can write and design repairs for the hot-sections of most engines. Why this is interesting, and related to this story is something that comes along with that.

All engine data that the pilot can see is available realtime on the ground at the repair stations.

What this means is that an engineer can call up a GE-CF6 in the second position on the starboard wing and see how it is performing. While that might not sound all that interesting, there are literally tens of thousands of measurements taken a bunch of times a second and transmitted to the ground for each engine.

For instance, if the flight was 10 hours (and every package was 100 Kb) they'd send about 35GB of data per engine. This is just the engine measurements. This does not include avionics, communication, position.

Most of the information is propriety for how they store, transmit, and calculate these things so I do not know exactly how this works. I have seen one of these workstations and it is really impressive to know the exact RPM of the number two engine compressor is spinning at in real-time of a flight crossing the Atlantic.

Also, you can two-way text-message with the pilot from this workstation to pass perceived information about the engine performance.
Very cool. I'd be a little afraid to get addicted and not be able to edit effectively away from my pedal though.
