Here's my fear. I deleted my FBook account a couple years ago. And it seems to be at least inactive, but I assume there is still an entity representing "me" in some state at FBook, because that's how FBook rolls.

As I understand this latest feature, if I am a contact on someone else's phone, and their FBook app notices that I am a FBook user, that person's entry for me get's slammed to now point to me@FBook. So when that person emails me, it no longer goes to me@me.com, it goes to me@FBook.com. Which is an address that may or may not exist, but I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess that FBook doesn't respond with a no such address, it just consumes the data. And I'm suddenly unreachable.
This is a very good explanation. But it also points out that the permission system is not really helping when you want background info on what's going on - you and I know this info from a background in development. Take a look at the permissions for google maps on android as an illustration.
Interesting point. And I am curious how the average joe would answer the following question:

"What is the difference between Google Now and Google Instant ?"
I remember when I was 14, it was cool to say you were 18---not 16, but then again, I'm not from the UK.
One tip I would give developers/hackers who double as technical bloggers (whether regularly or infrequently) is:

Write what you want to read (but can't find elsewhere).

This simultaneously challenges you to learn the subject matter in depth, fills a needed gap in content that other like-minded devs are probably looking for, and may even yield a nice chunk of open-source or useful code snippets.

I use this strategy on my blog, albeit infrequently.
They already discussed it in the article. Short term they'll may increase antibiotic production but long term they'll increase the mortality and costs of hospital care.
Wow--the truth hurts. I don't have any down-votes, but no comments or up-votes here. Well, it's not about me. It's about the lives that Peter Thiel can ruin by taking people out of school. Being a billionaire removes the kind of people who will warn you about this. Not a flame--just an observation. Meanwhile, I think I'll go hug my spouse and dog. If there's a lesson here--speak truth to money. Speak truth to power. I'm not going to fix our species--but I'm not going to whine to a bartender or worship a zombie either. Good luck--everyone.
Agreed.

But you could argue that once Twitter (and FB) tweak sponsored content to the point where it's no longer annoying or is actually share-worthy, that they've nailed this rev model.

I didn't say that relative wages were the same for every single category of employment. I said that consumption of virtually every category of consumer good and service has increased across the board for virtually every income category.
What you're describing is an evolutionarily stable strategy (ESS) [1]. If you've played the board game Risk you have an intuition for this prisoner's dilemma solution.

In Risk there are two tendencies that tend to emerge: everyone gets a continent or nobody gets a continent. In the former the player(s) who resist the ESS by not acquiring continents are left with diminished armies and quickly eliminated. In the latter the player(s) who resist the ESS by attempting to acquire continents are rapidly allied against by the others.

The ESS involves random psychology within the constraints of geopolitically fundamentally dictated equilibria. The agents, in this case nations, tend towards one of those equilibria by acting independently on limited information about others' intentions.

The dominant equilibrium then becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, as you have observed. It does not follow, however, that there is no rational basis for the phenomenon. There is also no known mechanism outside a supranational authority with enforcement capability to force a shift from one equilibrium to another.

Great thoughts, I use running for my personal thinking/reflection time. It really helps focus on problems I am working on or projects I am thinking about. Focusing on those really helps me get in distance because I don't focus on the running.
If its better, the question becomes: does Google release it on iOS as well, and will Apple allow them too.

However, i think the US readers are missing the most important aspect: how many people in the world can you serve?

This is a system selling feature during a crucial generation. The speed they can rollout new languages, will determine the world market and the long tail, which will prove crucual.

Currently, Google has the best infrastructure to do that, but Apple seems to care more. I live in Holland, for example. No siri, but at least we can buy content from iTunes. Google isnt selling anything but apps in its playstore.

I think whoever is able to actually give me all these features first, wins Holland. Why would it be any different in any other country?

There are markets up for grabs, and the first one to realize that fully, wins.
This reads to me as a bunch of wild speculation trying to make itself sound serious by filling itself out with a bunch of random encyclopaedia facts (not to mention pictures). Not convincing.
Again slightly faster and slightly more robotic is not a blowout.

And that accuracy statistic you listed is wrong. It is for Google Search Engine which is different from what is on the Android phone. Also the fact that Apple can be in the same ballpark as Google despite not spending billions on it is pretty impressive.
Vacation Sabotage: Don’t Let It Happen to You
Why do I have a triangle on my Chrome Canary (22)?
I don't know if it's local for my machine, but after the update I've made to Chrome a few minutes ago, some pages are showing a large colored (single color) triangle with it's tip on the top left hand side of the page, resting on the top of the page, and with it's second base running ON TOP of the Chrome UI (the scrollbar) going about a 3rd of the way down to the page, flickering and rather annoying and making the use of Chrome in it's current version practically impossible.

This page shows the triangle for me: http://coderwall.com/p/fahbaq?i=2&p=1&q=&t=sublime-text-2
I wrote a reaction to this article: http://www.douban.com/note/223029237/

The gist of it is that APIs will become more important, and that they shouldn't stay as poorly designed as they are today. I try to think about how an API design could look like git's architecture.
"We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face is that, in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is more meaningful than our criticism designating it so."
This logic holds because geography is presently immutable. Imagine a future with a hypothetical weapon that changes an area's geography (yes, it's a leap, but we need it to disentangle geography and weapons capabilities). Suddenly the United States is left with Sub-Saharan African deserts or Anatolian mountains. The economic productivity of the nation would plummet leading to a decreased ability to maintain a military advantage.

The thought experiment could be tamed a bit by substituting climate change as the geographical change agent.
Loan shark. Fair enough.

Although i do want to emphasize that only offensive parties are being hit with the frand patents. I really do think thats the most relevant moral ground here.
Europe doesn't care about IP laws to the same extent as the US?
Anyone who would write or respond to a boycott of Apple is already the sort who gets into flame wars against the company to begin with, so it is, as they say, "preaching to the choir." Not likely to have a big effect.
It doesn't make appointments, it only sets alarms. The functionality is pretty basic ...
My qualm with Stratfor is they assume the reader has a theoretical foundation in geopolitics, economics, and military strategy and history. The core they're running on here is best summarised by John Mearsheimer in The Tragedy of Great Power Politics [1]. Much of the rest arises from macroeconomics, game theory, and military strategy.

If nothing else this is valuable in that it follows closely the mindset of the US intelligence community (and many others, most precisely Russia's and Eastern Europe's).

Remember Amazon and one-click? There was sufficient backlash that they never tried anything like that again. Could work with Apple.

You seem to lack imagination when it comes to nefarious deeds, which is fine; unfortunately, facebook does not lack imagination in this area (and in fact, one could argue this is a core belief at facebook, since it was founded upon a hacking incident wherein Zuckerberg borrowed student data).

They desperately want your email...they don't want it because it's cool to be an email provider. They want it because they intend to use it. The point isn't what specific piece of data they'll get from it (though passwords will be among that data--as a mail server administrator of 15+ years I can assure you of that); the point is that it's simply evil for them to interject their servers into the path via deceptive means.
Well if you put it that way, why the hell would Apple not try to get this injunction? Any public company in their right mind should take advantage of this sort of market advantage.

The legal/patent system that allows this is broken, that's certain. But can we really blame Apple for using it to their advantage? It's sort of genius. Evil genius, but still...
I have to strongly disagree with that claim. India and Africa doesn't matter. Nobody wants to sell to people who can only pay a tiny fraction of what the product could be sold for in the first world.
This seems broadly to pass the Kant test on morality, so it could be said to be well-grounded.

Something is immoral if it is contradictory when generalised -- that was the gist of Kant's view. And real manipulation and persuasion seem to fail: if everyone is allowed to manipulate everyone else, everyone loses their own control of themselves -- in which case, how can they manipulate someone else? There is a contradiction.

The two basic checks the article proposes -- "Will I use the product myself?" and, "Will the product help users materially improve their lives?" -- are sort-of rough ways of testing for such Kantian contradction.

Let's dig into this and see what we find. What are your impressions of Apple's 2-3 year plans and prospects?

I'll respond with my thoughts.
i don't even know why it matters, google fanbois use google+. google employees use google+. most people don't actually use google+.
At that point, they will become obsolete.

Why?

Because then the advertising agencies will have a way to make content people want to read and share and therefore they can rely on people sharing it, at no cost to them.
Well, not all of Europe. It really depends on how much IP they have.

So, holland, my country, is likely in favor of IP because with our current portfolio, the export of IP minus the import, is profitable. This is not the case for any eastern european country, nor for some of the more traditional economies in western europe.

So beyond morality, for many countries, IP law just means opting in to pay other countries. And unlike traditional goods, you cant block the export or import of IP. You can only hope to compromize on some kind of compensation.
Surely it takes away any incentive of the original producers to innovate if the product is quickly cloned (even under a different name) and sold at close to break even point, leading consumers to buy the cheaper one (and perhaps even wait for it to arrive), preventing the producer from even recouping their R&D costs?
But what you listed isn't AI either by your definition. It is just a series of predefined steps. The old Siri app had the ability to find and book a table at a restaurant. That's basically similar in complexity.

It's an interesting point though. At what point does it really become truly intelligent ? And I would guess that it would differ for each person.

Exactly. They aren't copies.

But MS suing Apple - I don't think my logic has any such implication or connotation.

As pointed out in Nilay Patel's article, TouchWiz is an attempt to mimic iPhone look & feel.

If Samsung had evolved their original design, which you had pointed out was not a copy, then it is a different story.
Ahhh, the complex, expensive solution, to a problem that nobody has.

And on an even lamer note, the BlackBerry PlayBook requiring a paired handset to do email.

The problem with this thinking, is that consumers won't tolerate difficulty or inconvenience. The iPhone simply becomes an application now, and apps have shrunk to fit this metaphor.

It is fast, it is convenient, and for many people, their needs can be entirely satisfied by these small handheld apps.
Here's a question: how well will the voice recognition features of the next version of Android compare with the next version of iOS? And what proportion of Android users will be able to upgrade to it?

Releasing a slightly superior clone of a feature in a rival product over six months after the first product shipped isn't enormously impressive, although it is more impressive than shipping an inferior clone of a product two years after the first product shipped, so that's definitely progress.
Well, the ryanair "website" is a special case:

• To search for flights, you must answer a captcha.

• They forcefully push travel insurance, luggage, luggage insurance, insurance insurance, extra baggage fees, and useless priority boarding.

• Once you start your search, you must complete their 5-step ordering process within 3 minutes or you have to start over from the beginning of your search.

The system we will call "AI" would be able to go from you saying "Order a flight between Dublin and Barcelona on the cheapest carrier" to actually using their unusable website to complete your request.

I imagine the old Siri app was using opentable or some other API to book reservations. It wasn't navigating the forest of unstructured innate dumbness in the world.
To someone who spends probably way too much time listening to dharma talks, reading Zen books, and meditating, it's always a bit jarring to see these paeans to walking and running that describe how this kind of exercise is a great way to just be ... with your thoughts!

Sometimes the experience of running is used to describe zazen. Then the focus is on the state of flow you can get into, which I think mmurph211 is describing here, where actually thoughts too fade out. Just running -- just feet touching the ground and lifting again, intense breathing, wind & rain, the sting of muscle fatigue, getting tired.

I actually think a lot of people misunderstand why they like walking and running. It's not only that you're free to daydream and let thoughts wander freely. It's also a sensuously immersive ritual that dampens the habitual buzzing-like-a-fridge chatter, focuses the mind in real-time, lets you come a bit closer to forgetting yourself.
Not to say you're not right but just about every company behaves indecently. Samsung, Google, Microsoft and others all have their offenses in the people's eye for what is right but this is business and we people should just let it play itself out in court.

"industrious" does not been intelligent. "Industrious" means hard-working. No, I would not say Alan was smart, because he ended up writing a product with half the functionality, triple the amount of bugs, quintuple the amount of code, and quadruple the amount of employees. He didn't engineer the solution to minimize costs, maintenance, and simplicity while maximizing functionality. He just jumped into writing code thinking he knew best. So, to re-iterate, he's an idiot (compared to Charles).

"great hackers use their brains and write great code to solve their problems with the absolute minimum amount of work". Sorry, but I disagree. Just because, in the parable, Charles' solution ended up being the better one, that does not mean that all solutions with less code and less work are "greater" (remember, it's just a parable). Sometimes, you need extra work to make the solution more stable, more maintainable, more bug-free, etc. Great hackers recognize these situations and do the extra work and planning to come up with an elegant design when necessary.

I would never hire someone who always does the "absolute minimum amount of work", because if it's a poor solution, we'll end up doing more work later (fixing bugs, refactoring, debugging, etc.).

While I understand your position, I find it interesting that there is no group of people who are similarly angry and loudly boycotting Samsung phones and other products for consistently taking design cues from Apple.

I personally don't buy many Samsung products, but if they released something that was a leader in its class (similar to how a Macbook is one of the best laptops you can grab) I know I'd buy it despite their current trend of mirroring Apple's designs.
Thank you. I was wondering if such headphones with a microphone would need five connections.
Yes.

I'd prefer to just leave the post at that, but to make a bit more of a contribution to discussion, fiduciary duty is a myth invented sometime in the 70s or 80s. No one has ever been sued for not maximizing the profits of the company the run. A corporation doesn't have to be evil, even if being evil were more profitable than being good. They can just choose to be less profitable and no one cares.

Given the choice, I'd much rather live in a mildly competitive, mildly cooperative capitalism where companies compete on things like price and quality (and salary!) without trying to burn the crops and salt the fields of the competitors the way Apple is now.

So then you're boycotting Motorola and Google products as well because they had a similar injunction against Apple in Germany right? If not why?

I find it amusing how emotional tech people get over these patent wars. Its one companies legal team versus the other over legalities and trivialities. If you looked at how often car companies sued each other over look and feel patents you would realize the whole thing is a non issue. If you want to change things start with the legal frameworks that allow it to happen. Complaining that companies are using every trick available is somewhat of a non surprise. You might want to start with the patent office and their granting of patents though.

But "I'll remember this for a long, long time", really? That is quite sad, evaluate technology for its tech, not for the companies legal team. But whatever.

Note: I'm not arguing for or against apple or google and their legal teams with this post at all.

> there doesn't seem to be a boycott on Google for their part in the attempt to gain an import ban of the XBox or their support of the alleged abuse of FRAND patents, both by their newly acquired subsidiary.

That is because the perception is that they're using it to countersue Microsoft and Apple who filed the first volleys.

>Apple are playing the same legal game as Google are.

No, Apple was the initial aggressor against HTC, Motorola and Samsung.

And that matters a lot. Have you seen the PC OEMs sue each other over patents like this? They seem to compete in the marketplace like most other industries.
Why do you feel so strongly about this but not about Motorola (and by extension, Google) trying to do the same thing to Apple's devices?[1]

Not that I like any of this, just saying Apple's hardly the only company that does this, they all do it.
