Tim sent this tweet https://twitter.com/timberners_lee/status/228960085672599552

pretty much right at the moment he was revealed, sadly it wasn't from the computer he was using (it was from his iPhone) but a nice touch!
This is very peculiar. There are no "trap"s and no "|| exit 1" type constructs in that installer script. What happens if something fails or is aborted?
The article refers to one device from Apple vs tens from Samsung. I think it would be fairer to compare with one device, such as their most popular one.

Hi,

this is true.

however what the install script does is what we usually do manually it is just time saving.

I am still working in the documentation but I could not resist sending it out.

An average Eastern what? Very, very few people anywhere got a NeXT system.

Gopher had its chance, but the University of Minnesota thought it would be reasonable to charge licensing fees. The WWW won for multiple reasons, and that was a big one early on.

You really need to do some research.

Some of the ideas on opensourcesurvival.com are somewhat on extreme side, but overall it is an insightful collection of articles on what to do in adverse conditions.

The video itself is a bit corny, like all those educational videos they showed us at school, but yeah, worth watching and spending 20 seconds thinking "what would I do if this happened in my workplace, where would I hide/run, ...".
Thats a pedantic difference. The GPL (version 2) was written in 1992(ish), well before the "App Store distribution model". The GPL was not written with the "app store distribution" model in mind. However it was written specifically to prevent certain closed source programmes.
Quick update: Just added a simple trap function to clean the installation in case of failure, however once again this is designed for geeks to install. If you want to just use it go to the online version on canistro.linuxforme.com

Apple is the new Microsoft. They license and charge fees for everything. They coerce their users to use their proprietary technologies whenever humanly possible. They try to bully their opponents rather than competing on merit.

I, for one, am happy with these trends.

The first, a combination of incompetence (e.g. forgetting they'd have to pay VAT) and corruption. The latter: by getting into debt, that now necessitates cuts to the very things being celebrated, e.g. the NHS.

Well, Apple released the 4S last October, Samsung had a couple new devices. It's exactly like last year. "Lackluster performance" - such words come from people which parrot people who appear to be experts, but have not even a basic idea of how Apple operates.

The pattern can be seen and you only have to add 2+2.

Revenues will get further down this quarter, leading up to the iPhone release and the holiday quarter will break all records again.

It will be interesting to see how Apple will stand next to Samsung after that quarter.

"Institutions of learning should be devoted to the cultivation of curiosity and the less they are deflected by considerations of immediacy of application, the more likely they are to contribute not only to human welfare but to the equally important satisfaction of intellectual interest which may indeed be said to have become the ruling passion of intellectual life in modern times."

edit: it's interesting to look back at my school/college career and be able to pick out those educators who taught this above all else vs. those who taught 'by the book'. Each had their place in my education, but the former certainly had a more profound impact.

It made me very, very happy to see Tim there.

A lot of the media in the UK is very populist and anti-intellectual, celebrating questionable people (pop stars et al.) for their less than desirable achievements.

So it was good to see Tim being given such a platform celebrating his input into the world.

...and therefore has little relevance to something dispersed World Wide.

Thanks for your kind advice: I did my fair amount of "research"[1] and therefore had my fair share of TBL-s western colleagues too in the process, calendaring theory included.

You are right: WWW won for multiple reasons. First and foremost, they could afford to give it away for free, since it was produced by cheap disposable labour. And it also won, because of a change in legislation in the U.S.A., and those "analysts" who caught early wind of it wound up well (see Ferguson from Vermeer tech.: his book is also a nemesis to the Silicon Valley Tune). Even better, look into IB's story. The French lisper never got the real credit he deserves. Even Groff and BL have trouble remembering his name. You are picking on the wrong person.

If you a shareholder, that graph is music to your ears. If you are a consumer, that graph may be nice or not depending on how rich you are. If you are the kind that prides yourself in owning expensive stuff, the iDevices definitely help with that. If you are driven by aesthetics, it may be adequate value for money. If you prefer freedom the Androids set you free. Is it not awesome that Apple sets a high bar for aesthetics and the competition commoditizes the market. We all win as a consequence.
Don't listen to (ie. read) me. This writing was never supposed to be an essay to argue for or against something. It is an almost raw braindump: just a set of links so you can do your own research and make up your mind on your own.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't the actual NeXT he used. That is in a museum at CERN (where I work at the moment). I can check today by going to the museum, but it was there a few days ago when I showed some visitor friends around.

It's not designed to be a replacement for traditional teaching though. It's an additional supplement. In hiS TED talk Khan gives details of how teachers are using it as homework, freeing up class time for more interactive discussion. It seemed like an interesting pattern to me but I have no experience with it do I can't comment on how effective it is.
Why would that be fairer? Apple chooses to compete in the market with a clear lineup of 3 device-classes that each have multiple models differing in the amount of memory only. They don't offer low-end models. They obviously think that this is the better strategy. Samsung thinks it is better served by building more models to serve a higher range of customers. It is perfectly fair to compare which strategy fares best - and by number of units sold Samsung seems to be ahead. By revenue, Apple seems to be ahead. Whether that balance is going to tip is an interesting question, but it's not answered in this article.

Unfair would be to compare the number of macs sold vs. the number of android phones sold since those devices don't compete against each other on the same market.
Doesnt matter if you have a site with more traffic. What matters is the niche/market. You could have a site with a billion visits a day but if its about basket weaving you are going to have a harder time than a site like his with massive exit clicks. The number for ads is if anything, lower than it likely is.

I feel decently confident in my estimate due to my knowledge of the space and my own, current, experience in this space but feel free to retort if you have additional data.

What do you mean by "ground that one out"? Xbox 360 is quite a player in th e console business. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Console_wars#section_7
I've been developing in android for about a year and have started developing for iphones a few months ago, I'm new to objective-c, and have to say it's probably my least favourite oop of the few I know. The xcode interface is fantastic for first time app creators that are interested in creating some very standard apps, if you're wanting to break out of the norm though, I find xcode quite suffocating. Sure Android does have the headache of designing for multiple devices, but once you get your head writing your layout files manually it's actually pretty straight forward. I've not submitted an app for publishing on iOS yet, but I'm not looking forward to it. even sharing a dev app with buddies is a nightmare using Apples provisioning profile mess.

The iPhone simulator does seem better than its Android counterpart (due to the lack of customization available). Also, how will iPhone apps appear on the iPhone 5 which is likely to have a bigger display? There is nothing in xcode to deal with fitting to multiple device resolutions.

I dont think your for-loop example is not very fair. It took me about 5 mins of reading online to figure out how to do it right, but I certainly wouldnt be able to create a flawless working script offline because much of my work in Linux tech support is not of this nature. I spend more time collecting core dumps and analysing them, for example.

I am an Asian myself, but that doesn't stop me from saying that teaching is an art. If you put too much rigor into the style and methods of teaching, the whole thing becomes a military exercise, and kind of kills the creativity in kids.
If this is not true, why does creativity still stay with western countries and not Asia (in terms of industry)?

Where did you hear about these companies?
Throw enough shit against a wall and it's bound to stick. Who makes the lion share of the industry profits off of a single phone? I've never met an unhappy iPhone owner, but I've met tons and tons of disgruntled Android users including people with Samsung phones.
It's part of the RHCE exam, to be honest i always disabled it before then. These days though i always use it (in targetted mode).

I'd imagine there are others like me.
That chart is nearly 6 months old, and the market is changing so rapidly it is no longer true.

Also, if people actually read the whole analysis attached to it, they would see how positive it is about Samsung, not just Apple. To quote:

The new market disruption is evidenced by the shift of fortunes to Apple and Samsung and away from every other device maker.

Additionally, Samsung is now recording record profits, mostly on the back of rapidly increasing sales of profitable phones.

Samsung Electronics Co. said Friday its net profit swelled to 5.2 trillion won ($4.5 billion) in the April-June quarter, a 48 percent jump from a year earlier.

[snip]

In the second quarter, Samsung's mobile division, which makes smartphones, personal computers and network equipment, contributed 63 percent of Samsung's entire operating profit by generating 4.2 trillion won profit.[1]

It's true that Samsung's entire phone division doesn't have the high margins Apple does (I've heard ~25% for Samsung vs 35% for Apple), but Samsung sells a lot of low-margin phones, which bring in a lot of revenue even if the profit rate isn't as high.

Maybe in the neckbeard demographic, but I see more people switching away from Android and Blackberry than I do giving up iPhones.
Do you mind sharing what that funding covers? The smallest entry for "Who We Fund" [1] from the Sunlight Foundation in 2012 is $7500, and I don't see OpenStates listed. Does that mean there is very little funding, and this is mostly a volunteer effort?

I ask because I am interested in some non-profit work, and I am curious if developers on non-profit projects find ways to get paid a fair rate for their development work.
As soon as you start talking about different versions, you've lost.

You can have big memory, small memory, with or without cellular. Even Apple are stretching it, but if Microsoft fragment the perception by launching similar devices that run different software, they will be screwed.
Then who's the new Apple? And what does that make Microsoft?
Samsung has always sold more phones than Apple. What you're seeing here is that Samsung is managing the featurephone -> smartphone transition better than Nokia.

So one side of politics will claim this proves that FTTP is the correct solution. The other side will claim that Private Investment is the way to build Fiber rollouts.
... Meanwhile Samsung will continue releasing more phones quicker, and by the time the record selling iPhone 5 settles down, Samsung will be chugging along, breaking their own records and out selling pretty much everyone.
Hint: comments are for communicating stuff to people. Posting a braindump and pretty much saying 'just figure out what I meant for yourself' is both rude and annoying.

Does anyone have any Android vs iOS vs WP7 stats for the last quarter?

Sure.

In millions[1]:

Samsung: 93.0

Nokia: 83.7

Apple: 26.0

Smartphone sales are more difficult to come by, but Gartner has platform stats for the latest quarter. I have to guess most of these from a chart republished in The Guardian[2]:

Android: 56%

iOS: ~25%

Symbian: ~12%

Blackberry: ~8%

WinPhone: ~2%

Just because they're charging you a percentage doesn't make them not a true platform.

Oracle and Gemstone used to (and probably still do) as for a percentage of your budget/estimated sales rather than a strict rate.

In my opinion, you've got that backwards. To fix the shell script, just make sure you're using an [i18n version of tr](http://heirloom.sourceforge.net/), and then use [:alpha:] instead of [A-Za-z].

If unicode tr didn't exist, then by fixing tr you fix this problem for everybody, not just yourself. You're only in trouble if the source for `tr` isn't available. But the source for `tr` has always been available, even for proprietary unices.
That's why Danny Boyle did such a good job. If the British media had been in charge of the ceremony in could have very easily been a cringeworthy ordeal featuring a cast of z-list celebrities dancing about. The inclusion of Tim Berners-Lee and the NHS section were excellent ideas.

I wonder if that includes robots.txt.

I don't know how exactly either YouTube or Youtube-mp3.org works, but I'm guessing that he's scraping YouTube (and not using their API), and I would expect that in doing so, he's ignoring robots.txt.

I'd be surprised if robots.txt had any legal force whatsoever, but IMO if someone has a robots.txt and you're ignoring it, you're in the wrong. And if you're ignoring it and profiting off of ignoring it (as opposed to, say, doing academic research of some kind and ignoring it for science), you're a bad person.
To be clear, it's not the data that they've collected that's the problem, it's the data access that the census has thus far provided. That's why it's so important that they've made an attempt to update their portal and API. That said... their dev forum still requires devs to wait for manual moderation in their sign up, for instance.
Because once you invest your time in their free plan, then you'll use them for every other site you have too. Heroku did this to me and so far it's worked out well for us both.

Obviously untrue, given that the WWW was developed on a NeXT system.

> First and foremost, they could afford to give it away for free, since it was produced by cheap disposable labour.

I doubt TimBL was starving in a garret when he wrote the first WWW software; it could be given away because CERN had funding that had nothing to do with selling software, especially not software that solved a problem everyone up to that point thought had been solved already (with Gopher and FTP), or would be solved another way entirely (with Xanadu).

You know, psychologists get an awful amount of bashing places. Speaking as a psychologist (almost PhD qualified) working in web analytics, it really isn't deserved.

A good psychology program will give you:

Good communication skills and some insight into how organisations work.
Relatively OK statistics skills (no statistician, but at least knowing about the problem with multiple comparisons)

Excellent experimental design and analysis skills.
Good human interaction HCI skills (sometimes).

These are extremely useful skills for web analysts and market researchers. And while market research is not expanding that much, web analytics is. I could easily have done the job I'm doing now with just my undergrad (though they might not have hired me), the major problem was that I didn't even know what web analytics was when I finished my degree.

That being said, i spent 9 months unemployed a few years after finishing my degree and during my doctorate I focused on giving myself statistics and programming skills so that I would never be unemployed again, so maybe I'm not typical of psychology students.
Photographers Who Didn't Step in to Help
Get a grip on reality man. A world dominated by an Apple dictatorship? They sell computers and phones. It's not a black and white dichotomy where either Android wins and Apple loses, it's just a teensy bit more complex than that.
I see a bit of a corollary between the topic of the article and the rather current discussion on whether people should be making 'Instagrams' (for ex.) or actually trying to 'save the world'.

Although if applied strictly to photographers, should those who take pictures of 'nice sunsets' feel bad for not being war-photojournalists?
Only, what has this 10 year old to do with it?
