Problem with Apple is that if all players will play using Apple strategy we will not have any innovation at all.
Motorola, Nokia, Samsung invested billions in mobile technology without knowing if this will even work, they risked and created cell phones and so on. They had big invest, big risk and at the end big win.
Apple didn't take any risk, they simply polished existing products and started to sell it with much higher price tag. This isn't wrong, wrong is this that Apple tries to block another players using courts. Apple didn't make big invest, didn't take big risk, but takes biggest win by using patent system to force all competitors to give to Apple theirs patents (and when Motorola says, OK we want 2.5% of iPhone price as fee for our patents Apple screams that Motorola wants way too much... yeah, it's only essential technology for mobile phone, so who cares?), without letting them to use Apple's patents.
If players like Motorola or Nokia would use Apple strategy we would simple still using line phones. Because nobody would invent cell phones, the best strategy would be to patent idea of cell phone and to wait till somebody will build it and to sue him.
Patent system was intended to promote innovation, but here it isn't doing it, it is used to block innovation.
Google didn't patent notifications, so thanks to this users of iOS5 may use much better notifications. Thanks to this that Google didn't patent it, users of Apple so competitor product may use it. But Apple patents all small things blocking other players. Apple behaves like parasite on innovation tree, and patent system should protect whole tree because this guarantee progress and innovation.

You might want to hire a designer before charging money for this. I hardly think anyone will pay $1 for something that looks like this.
" Bacteriophages are the long-term end-game to keeping bacteria in check ..."

Unfortunately bacteriophages are just ordinary viruses, so the human body can and will develop antibodies against them.
Agreed. I think running is probably one of the easiest ways to get in that "thought-less" state often associated with formal meditation. Running doesn't put me "with my thoughts" at all...quite the opposite, actually!
Just two thoughts that might be related to that idea:

(1) I would argue that these changes are rarely absolute but always in a comparative context. For example if such a weapon would come into existence, it wouldn't exist very long in a proprietary form but other nations would reproduce it. But if we are talking about such substantial climate change, I would suspect that the negative consequences are going to impact many nations at the same time, i.e. an overall downward spiral would set in. Or just very specific regions (i.e. coastal lines).

(2) If we are talking about "just" specific regions, or "just" an American desert, the example of Israel demonstrates that with enough resources and willpower it is possible to survive even in an almost desert based environment. Sure, Israel gets quite a few subsidies and support by other nations, but never the less they put them to excellent use and demonstrated that it is possible to "run" a successful economy despite substantial natural challenges.
I've got Jelly Bean running on my GNex and I think the new UI is much nicer. This review spends a lot of time nitpicking the buttons, and the blown up pictures do make them look a little off. But I don't notice it all when using the phone.

In my opinion this review leaves out the best new parts of Jelly Bean. The notifications pull down has changed to show better previews of text or email messages. Including showing previews of both messages if you have more than one. The overall look and feel of the notification UI (and integration with the cards) is also much better.

This review also doesn't spend much time talking about the new cards system. It took me a few days to integrate it into my workflow but its really nice, especially the integration with Google Places. I basically see cards as a more refined UI to Google search results.

Just my two cents, overall Jelly Bean is a good improvement to Android and continues Google's goal to unify the Android UI.

I get your point, and it's a good one. I just don't think it'll work that way with space exploration. I don't believe that spending $trillions we don't have (we'd have to borrow it) will pay off enough to make that money, and the ten times more in interest we'd have to pay, worth it to the general public. As it is my kid will likely have to work until he drops dead at work (no retirement for future average Americans). We've been off course for a long time, and space exploration is part of that veering.
Anyone below the poverty line with a house is probably not paying for it themselves. If they're more likely to have houses now, it's probably because they're getting Section 8 now instead of apartments in the projects.
Eh? What you state about ls, wc and less is directly contrary to my experience. I'm so astonished I created a 30GB test file and tested it:

$ cmd /c dir k.txt
Volume in drive C is CobraRoot
Volume Serial Number is 02D8-502C

Directory of C:\Users\barrkel\AppData\Local\Temp

2012-07-01 15:24 31,292,160,000 k.txt
1 File(s) 31,292,160,000 bytes
0 Dir(s) 142,087,471,104 bytes free

$ du -h k.txt
30G k.txt
$ ls -l k.txt

$ wc -c k.txt

$ time wc -l k.txt
6400000000 k.txt

real 1m5.651s
user 0m46.207s
sys 0m8.642s

66 seconds to read 30GB isn't too bad, that's over 400MB/sec. (It's an SSD.) When I said directory listings could be slow, I meant directory listings, not general I/O; simple read() and write() do not need translation (provided you aren't using Cygwin text-mode mount options, which are not recommended).

$ less k.txt

this works just fine; when I do > to go to the end of the file, it goes there immediately, but stays busy calculating line numbers (it's scanning the whole file); if I cancel with Ctrl+C, it stops, just like it does on other Unix OSes.

PS: It's the mingw tools that don't work properly! I tried it a couple of times, but all the incompatibilities made me give up pretty quickly.

I never said that's a bad thing. But at least with the open source software I work with, if you use the software, great. Maybe you will come to me for services later. I wonder how many Debian-involved businesses have such a model.

Paying for media is an interesting exception. Very often for newspapers, etc, you are both buying a product and becoming a product.

But in the end it's a good warning to know the business model of those you get free stuff from.

How is Apple not an offensive party? Has Apple not sued Android based device makers before feb 2012?

I discovered this last year, too, and ended up not setting any goals: http://www.erica.biz/2011/2011-goals/

2011 was a great year. I met my future spouse, bought an RV, and we went traveling together. It went so well that I didn't set any goals for 2012, either.

Now I have a daily list of things to do (how I write that and what's on it is vastly different from most people's--that will probably be my next blog post), but I don't really set over-reaching goals. I don't need to. I know that what I need will show up when I need it--and that provides me a sense of peace I haven't had until recently.

My business is more successful, my blog has more readers, and, most importantly, I am happier without goals.
Brooklyn, NY Full Time

Custora (YC W11) is a customer analytics tool that helps retailers earn more from happier customers.

To be a little more specific, we can point to a single retail customer and paint a meaningful portrait with his data: How much he’ll spend, how often he'll make purchases, what types of products he's inclined to buy, his predicted likelihood of returning, and more. Custora also integrates with email marketing providers and customer support systems to fuel a seamless, iterative flow of insights to actions.

From Fab.com to Etsy, some of the fastest growing and respected names in retail are using Custora on a daily basis.

Who We’re Looking For

We’re looking for a developer to join our core team. Our web stack is Ruby on Rails, and our analytics are done in R. Experience with these technologies is a plus, but we’re open to sharp developers with experience building products for the web in general.

Where We Are

Location-wise, we’re in Brooklyn, NY. We love it. Progress-wise, we’re a YC company from Winter 2011. We’ve recently been featured in the New York Times, GigaOm and BetaKit, and in the last 2 months we’ve had more signups than in the previous 10.

Day to Day

Here’s a taste of what happened last month:

Aaron implemented a Dirichlet Latent Class Multinomial to power customer archetype analysis based on customer purchasing behavior.

Martin made dramatic improvements the email marketing part of the product. He made it easier for our clients to launch multiple email tests in parallel, and added four new email providers to our growing list of integrated partners.

Jon and David worked together to completely redesign the interface of the application. We moved from an interface that focused on browsing through dashboards to one that delivers answers to specific questions.

Outside the office, Corey and Dave manned a booth at a big e-retailer conference and developed a Blackjack-style Custora game to play with prospective clients.

What We Offer

Our compensation is competitive with anyone on the market. Since you’ll be a core member of the team, meaningful equity is part of the package. We offer comprehensive health coverage, including a dental and vision package. Lunches are paid for and we usually eat as a team. We do happy hours at least twice a month and play bocce ball competitively (sort of). Our vacation policy is based on trust — take what’s needed and keep the rest of the team up to speed.

Let’s Chat

I think the desktop market is here to stay maybe not for consumers (who are aggressively changing from desktop to laptops/tablets and mobile only) but certainly in the business and specialized markets.

Gaming will stay on desktops for some time, until at least it's effective from a pricing point to go mobile.

Here in the UK at least I can't remember the last office I went into where desktops weren't dominant.
The FRAND suit legally has nothing to do with this, and what's more it is blatant. What I see here is a bunch of fans of Google giving them a free ride. I don't like Apples approach at the moment either, but to lay any kind of blame solely at their feet is at best naive. Googles recent business dealing are far more worrisome, especially the Kenyan affair. It doesn't matter who shot first either.
In many parts of the world (probably not the US due to the broken cable monopoly system) home broadband speeds are increasing at a decent enough rate. I've now got 38 Mbit down and 8 Mbit up, which is fast enough to sync any new photos we take. We use JungleDisk and only pay ~ $14.00 per month for storing a lot of treasured family photos.

If I used a portable disk drive I'd have to make sure it's always offsite.

I meant the global warming thing mostly as a joke. It was inspired by the Wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%CE%94T, which says: "the melting of continental ice sheets ... removes their tremendous weight, allowing the land under them to begin to rebound upward in the polar regions, which ... brings mass closer to the rotation axis of the Earth, which makes the Earth spin faster". If it's on Wikipedia it must be true, right?

"This reminds me so much of the volunteer work that happens at our school. So many personalities involved and people get so upset because they've poured their heart and soul into it."

Its the 'meaning' thing that makes your volunteers give up their own time and do free work. Open source projects will probably have similar loyalty/emotional investments.
