From what I've read on Daring Fireball, Gruber thinks highly of Metro's design and he seems to at least infer that the design is as good as iOS or even better.
I guess it would need more that just storage, but also an API so you can query it. Maybe a JQuery/JSONP layer ontop of a Lucene index?

If you have the data on 32GB micro SD cards (at about three to the gram), you're at 96TB/kg, or 2.88 exabytes/747. On a ten-hour trip, that's 80TB/s. It wouldn't be at all practical to ship 'em loose, and finding and using the data you want from the "stream" would be a real SOB, but that's a lot of raw throughput with current, non-exotic tech.

Element names belong to a shared lexicon which all developers and sufficiently up-to-date parsers understand. Classes are invented per project. They are a superimposition. They muddy the water.

What is a style "applied directly" to an element if not a class? It's written on the element itself.

what I fantasize of using is a dentist chair. You can put the keyboard and mouse on the adjustable tools tray, and hung the monitor on the adjustable arm for the lights. The chair position is adjustable as well (I prefer a position in which I sit more on the back with the legs slightly higher than my bottom). I never felt so good in a chair as I did on a recent visit to the dentist.

The only downside is the cost.

Has anyone tried this?

Sure does. It's the concentration of wealth into the hands of a government, which is made up of people.

Oh, you're only talking about the concentrating of wealth into private hands? I reject that arbitrary separation. It still matters where wealth is concentrated, even if you choose to disregard such so long as it's controlled by people in government positions.

You don't think the $236 billion paid out to federal civilian workers every year is concentrating of wealth? Yeah right.

According to the USA Today:

"By 2009, there were 383,000 federal civilian workers with salaries of more than $100,000"

That's not concentration of wealth?

How about: "In 2010, federal worker compensation averaged $126,141, or double the private-sector average of $62,757."

Still not concentration of wealth?

I agree that selling to SMBs and Enterprises are very different approaches.

We are still in the customer development phase (http://www.startuplessonslearned.com/2008/11/what-is-custome...) and really want to "get out of the building" to start learning about whether our assumptions are right.

I am not really sure how to approach the organizations. Is face-to-face a better option or online networking is better?

That's an interesting question. Does uploading a project to github from a foreign country qualify as "importation within the United States" ?

It would make sense that it does, but I haven't ever seen the point raised. Could github receive a takedown notice for a patent infringing project ? Could I be held liable for uploading a project (being a foreigner won't protect me from infringing US laws on US "soil")?
I dunno, but a foot pedal to hit C-[ would be nice.

Whatever the direction the evidence points to, it's likely massive. The real problem is to sort it out. In this respect, I very much like EFF's proposition to conduct a study about the effects of software patents on the economy. (Personally, I'd do that for the other patents for copyright as well, as well, but narrowing the field has its benefits.)

While the EFF is prudent, I expect a proper study to yield much bolder results, with the evidence to back them up.
Please test it out and advise/propose any new features you'd like to see. It's been a side project of mine, constantly improving it.

You're picking at the difference between the proximate cause and the ultimate cause of the ad looking the way it does.

Q: Why does the ad burger patty appear thicker and larger?
A: Because we made it *this* way [show process].

Sounds reasonable to me. Perhaps you wanted an answer more like,

A: Because we wanted to show off all the ingredients in the
best possible light, to encourage you to buy it.

It actually takes a few why/because cycles (i.e. root cause analysis) to approach the ultimate cause; for example:

A: Because we made it *this* way.
Q: Why?
A: Because it makes the burger look good and it shows
you what's in it.
Q: Why?
A: Because if the burger looks good and you know what's
in it, you'd be more likely to buy it.
Q: ???
A: Profit!!!

Alas, the original question did not stipulate a particular kind of answer; I think the response, as given, sufficiently answers the question.
this.

I do a lot of work in Enterprise CMS land and Open Source land and you've essentially described my experiences working with ALL Enterprise CMS's I've used since the early 00's. I'm pretty convinced that within about 18 months Open Source CMS's will have negated any residual technical benefits that Enterprise platforms offer.

At this point the only competitive advantage Enterprise CMS vendors will have is their reputation and the "nobody ever got fired for buying IBM" attitude and commercial support.

With many other businesses sprouting up to provide commercial support for open source platforms I can see many Enterprise vendors having to pull up their socks and shaking up how they sell and manage their platforms in the very near future.

seems relevent -

"What you should not do, I think, is worry about the opinion of anyone beyond your friends. You shouldn't worry about prestige. Prestige is the opinion of the rest of the world. When you can ask the opinions of people whose judgement you respect, what does it add to consider the opinions of people you don't even know? [4]

This is easy advice to give. It's hard to follow, especially when you're young. [5] Prestige is like a powerful magnet that warps even your beliefs about what you enjoy. It causes you to work not on what you like, but what you'd like to like.

That's what leads people to try to write novels, for example. They like reading novels. They notice that people who write them win Nobel prizes. What could be more wonderful, they think, than to be a novelist? But liking the idea of being a novelist is not enough; you have to like the actual work of novel-writing if you're going to be good at it; you have to like making up elaborate lies.

Prestige is just fossilized inspiration. If you do anything well enough, you'll make it prestigious. Plenty of things we now consider prestigious were anything but at first. Jazz comes to mind—though almost any established art form would do. So just do what you like, and let prestige take care of itself.

Prestige is especially dangerous to the ambitious. If you want to make ambitious people waste their time on errands, the way to do it is to bait the hook with prestige. That's the recipe for getting people to give talks, write forewords, serve on committees, be department heads, and so on. It might be a good rule simply to avoid any prestigious task. If it didn't suck, they wouldn't have had to make it prestigious.

Similarly, if you admire two kinds of work equally, but one is more prestigious, you should probably choose the other. Your opinions about what's admirable are always going to be slightly influenced by prestige, so if the two seem equal to you, you probably have more genuine admiration for the less prestigious one."

Programmable foot pedals have been around for a while now [1]. Some are surprisingly expensive, though, and this option looks cheaper.

https://www.google.com/search?q=programming+foot+pedal
In my opinion, it's because, outside a few rare companies, programmers are generally viewed as mental laborers: the digital, modern equivalent of blue collar workers.

Some comments above seem to rationalize this by saying that software development is viewed as a cost center. Perhaps that's part of it. But, there are many types of cost centers but which aren't viewed like programming.
Really nice initiative,

When you have some free time, do you mind organizing some milestones and tasks on github so random people can help without being active on the project?

I would not mind adding/fixing planned things from time to time.
Typically drop shipping something on an airline is substantially cheaper than a full fledged seat fare.

That is the feature I'm looking for. I did not see that information in the website. If its not there, you should really consider putting it, because having the pip command is really an important fact in the buying decision.

Businesses have thrown billions at turning the psychological research on persuasion into money and in the process have turned propaganda from an art into a science. They have a significant edge over the individual on this and have done it quite deliberately and in full knowledge of the aims, process and outcomes of these actions. I think they can afford to take some of the blame for the consequences.
Anything on servers physically located within the US would be subject to US law. GitHub can be DMCA'd and forced to remove the project; you (as a non-US citizen) being liable for the infringement is a murkier question. Technically you can be extradited for criminal charges, but if it's just a civil suit, I'm not entirely clear how non-citizens play there.
If you're a coder you probably already have a GitHub account maybe not a web host.

I'm currently developing an app, targeting both iOS and Android, using Titanium. So far it's going great - I have one codebase with only a few platform specific branches for UI, and completely platform independent business logic.

It's remarkable how little code you have to write to achieve good results with Titanium. Plus, contrary to what article saids, you CAN use external Javascript libraries, but they have to be adopted to CommonJS before usage. There are also many components written by the community.

The downside of Titanium is that they don't cover 100% of APIs that both platforms provide. For example, there is no Radio Button / Radio Group APIs for Android, you have to invent your own solution. I'm sure there are more gaps like this. But even considering this, you'll probably end up having a working prototype much faster using Titanium.

Edit: For anyone more experienced - is there a better Android emulator out there? The stock one is painfully slow, compared to iPhone Simulator.

Edit 2: Developing with Phone Gap seems attractive, but then you dive in and discover that you have to either load up enormous UI library to mimic native behaviour (which always is far from perfect) or reinvent the UI and touch mechanics yourself. Ouch.
We use Filecatalyst to transfer large files internally and to/from customers. +1 works as advertised. What open protocols were you thinking of?
This also makes the assumption that you'd have zero time copying the data once you arrived in London. More realistically, you'd probably make a copy. In this case, you need to also take into account the amount of time copying the files at the other end. Depending on your external drive's interface, this is a non-trivial amount of time.
Chances are the lawyers are already paid for.

What Would You Do with a Million Dollars?
Depends whether you accept emotional manipulation in the definition of coercion, or use the more strict definition and restrict the concept only to actual or threatened force.
The article just brushes the surface of these issues:

Web applications are appropriate for information applications. Not a surprise, since the Web originated in hypertext. Web apps are good for presenting and navigating ad hoc multimedia information. If the target of a Web app is appropriate, a Web app will be the least expensive way to go.

Native apps produce the best looking, most touchable, and fastest apps, but be ready to pay to get results that are significantly better than a Web app. Make sure you are doing something that requires direct manipulation, and that takes advantage of how the underlying OS works. On Android, for example, make sure your app takes advantage of Android's fragment-based UI features, inter-app cooperation, and device hardware, if applicable.

Cross-platform panacea SDKs like Titanium result in lowest-common-denominator apps. If you are considering Titanium, you should probably make a Web app. There is only a narrow category of apps for which cross-platform SDKs yield the best result.
The escape bit would work great, but there are so many other ways to enter insert mode apart from i that I'm not sure how useful it would wind up being.

Schizo, We will not violate patents until it is complete. Once we label as a complete product, and not just a "Proof of Concept", it will infringe on a patent. However, we do plan on doing a pivot and changing the design once we figure out a way around the patent!
Thank you for sharing your experience. That is what I expected in the article, actually.
This might not work for you, but perhaps you can "pay yourself first" by going to bed soon after you come home from your day job, and wake up super early to work on your business. Give your best energy to yourself rather than your best energy to your job.

Just make sure you're not too tired to drive home.

Also, not to be glib, but coffee. :-)
I've never seen a job opening for an Azure developer. Sure there might be ASP work, but you almost certainly won't be working on cloud or mobile apps. It's nearly impossible to build a large-scale cloud architecture using Microsoft technology, and Microsoft Windows phone represents such a small portion of the market that it is inconsequential to ignore it completely. These are very strong reasons to avoid Microsoft technologies when choosing something to learn regardless of how employable ASP developers are at the moment.
