Between 95 and XP there was a period of "What's next?" similar to Apple in the 2007-2012 time frame and Google in the 2002-2007 time frame. What made them cool was the ability to change the way we work and play.

A lot of the million phones a day that they sell are featurephones with Nokia's own OSs. With Android they might be able to push margins slightly up there, and with the volumes they have that could be a big thing.
I think the burning platform analogy he provided was perfect. Nokia has now jumped from the platform and are floating in the ice cold North Sea water with a life jacket on, and the big question is whether the rescue boats will make it there in time.
"I started learning C and C++ about three months ago. My reasoning is, they're used all over the place. My operating system is written using C..."

Your operating system is written in C. Why learn C++? The return of investment of learning just C is much much higher than learning C++. Been there, done that.

I haven't praised Windows for a long time but even I have to admit Windows for Workgroups made small office networks useful, that Windows on 386 was a nice (not OS/2 nice, but nice still) way to multitask MS-DOS programs and that Windows NT was a very decent desktop OS if you had the hardware it required. My first multi-processor computer ran Windows and, at the time, I wouldn't be able to install Linux on it. Solaris would be an option, but it was expensive, difficult to install and required careful selection of compatible hardware.

Of course, other OSs have surpassed it and Windows now looks like an evolutionary dead-end, crushed by layers of legacy compatibility and unable to evolve in significant new directions.

Andrew Ng, who founded Coursera, is a professor of machine learning at Stanford - I am taking his course right now. I wonder whether, once Coursera has been around for a while, he might use his machine learning knowledge to predict such things as how likely a person is to drop out of a course or to do well in a course, or to compare people based on the university they attended or other factors. Could be really interesting.

The Lumia hardware is really nice and robust. Lumia with Android would probably sell like hotcakes right now.

Now they are at the mercy of Microsoft, who seem to have trouble wrapping up WP8, can abandon the platform any moment (as they have done with Windows Mobile, WP7), or stop delivering updates for slightly older phones.
Maemo was indeed a tiny ecosystem, but I still believe they would've had a chance with the Qt strategy of providing a single development environment for their smartphones, Symbian, MeeGo, and even Android. Even just for the tiny Maemo 5 ecosystem we've served more than 120 million app downloads: http://maemo.org/downloads/Maemo5/ (this is just for the open source apps in Downloads. I have no idea of the numbers Ovi Store had)

Developing MeeGo took a lot of time and money, but the results were quite good. Same that management had lost faith by then. http://www.domusweb.it/en/design/portable-cathedrals
VB.Net is rapidly becoming the most popular language in the world.
Every Google iOS app has encouraged users to login to their Google account. I'd surprise me if this isn't the case with the maps app as well, and there's a convincing reason to encourage people to do so - giving them the ability to send directions to your phone from desktops and other devices. While it doesn't mean everyone will do this, they could still use anonymous location information to direct users to businesses in whatever context the user is most-applicable to the user (i.e. if they're shopping in a mall, or something like that).
If that's all they are doing, then any smartphone will do the trick.

If your basically throwing away your old iPhone anyway then sure give it to your parents. For anyone who isn't getting a free iPhone, spending $800 on one would be absolute overkill when you can buy a cheap $100-$200 phone that makes calls just as well.

It is not the same video, it is the same trick done with different patter, and feel. Sorry if that is not clear, I can tell by the reading the intention I was trying to convey was not the intention people got.

He reuploaded him doing the trick with different patter, not the same video.
The problem with relying on drones is threefold; Humans are excellent computers, the Mark 1 eyeball has some advantages over other optical systems, and drones rely on a passive electronic environment.

Kona is actually an implementation of k (not sure if he's planning to support q, which is k's successor), a cousin of J.

Data cleaning is harder than statistical analysis
Some recent modeling suggests that by using side ignition of fuel with a petawatt picosecond laser, boron fusion would only be ten times harder than D-T. By comparison, for the spherical arrangement NIF uses, boron is 100,000 times harder. Here's one paper, google brings up more: http://ocs.ciemat.es/EPS2011PAP/pdf/P5.037.pdf

The lasers are almost good enough to try this and advancing fast.

Another approach to boron ignition is focus fusion. They published a peer-reviewed paper recently showing they'd achieved the temperature required for boron fusion (they're up to 1.8 billion degrees C). They need higher density though, they're working on that and hope to get to the level they need in a year.
Agreed. It's too late now, and it's very sad to see.

If they had gone all-in on Meego a few years earlier, or chosen it instead of WP7 and made it run Android apps out of the box, maybe they would have had a fighting chance.
I think Nokia seriously underestimated the "Instagram/Zynga" factor when they decided to go with Windows Phone. The average consumer does a minimal amount of research before buying a phone, and typically buy whatever the sales representative recommends (unless they are looking for a specific model, like the iPhone or SGS3). But on top of that, consumers will still ask questions like:

1. Oh my friend uses this app called "Instagram", does Windows Phone have "Instagram"?

2. I want to play "Words with Friends" with my friends, can I do that on Windows Phone?

If the sales representative is honest (I mean he has to be or will get an instant return), the consumer is just going to pick up an equally cheap or cheaper Android phone.

The 920 does not solve this problem despite having pretty sweet hardware. Not only that, its a huge phone like the SGS3, but quite heavy, which will turn off a lot of consumers who want big screens, but light devices (you don't see Apple making bigger phones that are heavier). Even if the camera is the best on the market (and to be honest, I don't think it will be noticeably better than the iPhone5 and upcoming Android phones), without useful apps for sharing those photos, people won't be drawn to the platform.

Finally, things like wireless charging and using the phone with gloves on are not major selling points, just like NFC has never been a major selling point.
The best programmers are lazy, because they spent a lot of time on their life thinking how they could automate things.

They don't just accept how algoritms from life are. They think how they could improve all the time, that is more than a normal programmer will think just while in the work in optimization
Nope, the four-finger swipe gesture only works on iPad 2 and iPad 3.
The coin experiences massive tidal forces and basically explodes, taking a certain amount of energy out of the warp field in order to do it.

One of the problems with this approach that has been explored in other papers is that even if you have a warp drive and even if you have actually gotten a ship into it and even if you've managed to point it in the direction you want to go, the collision of the interstellar medium with your warp field tears it apart quite violently and the warp field "collapses". And unlike when they "collapse" on Star Trek and the only manifestation is a polite electronic "whirring" noise, being in a collapsing real warp field is a death sentence, with tidal forces on par with black hole gravitational fields.
> the conclusion is that they should switch to Android and sell commodity smartphones?

They already sell commodity phones. In these markets people don't pick Nokia because of brand or features - they pick it because they need voice and text calls and Nokia's phones seem to be a slightly better value proposition (rugged, long battery life) than other low-end units.

Once other manufacturers manage to bring Android 2.x into the S40 price range (something Nokia certainly won't be able to accomplish with WP8), you'll see quick erosion of Nokia's share because other sets will have a much better value proposition.

Rumors say they're paying the makers of various "must have" apps to get them on their platforms. This probably explains why my old Symbian phone has Twitter, Foursquare, and Facebook.

Since the companies making those applications are not really interested in these platforms the apps usually are halfhearted at best.

The sales representative isn't always honest, but he _will_ try to push whatever model the carrier is interested in pushing. Right now, carriers are interested in pushing Android since that ecosystem is aligned with the carriers interests (easily customizable).

Carriers are generally not interested in Windows Mobile and Nokia, and very few carriers are interested in pushing the iPhone even though they have to carry it due to customer demand.

my co founders and I went to YCombinator and ImagineK12 at the same time (W2012). While the schedule was stressful, tuesday and thursday dinners and office hours, we felt it was the best decision we made by doing both Incubators at the same time.
Getting access to advice from Tim, Geoff and Alan improved our product dramatically, we also met our first advisors and investors at the ImagineK12 dinner and that had a dramatic effect on the growth of our apps.
You can Expect
Demo Day: The ImagineK12 demo is well attended and put in touch with some of the most useful investors we raised money from.
Advice: The partners are very helpful and can help shape some of the most important decisions that you will make as a startup
Cohort: ImagineK12 is a small group of founders that will go out the way to help each other out, we often felt that our batches at ImagineK12 would have been how YC would have been in the early days of YC with 10-15 startups at most.

Apply now, we at taptolearn highly recommend ImagineK12.

There are way too few apps for WP7, which means they (either MS or Nokia) seriously need to step up their game in attracting developers. My brother loves his Lumia 900 except for the fact that there are no games for it. If he didn't have an iPad for gaming, he would have switched phones by now because of the tiny "ecosystem".

Microsoft doesn't have to buy them.

They already have cross-licensing and will be able to use and probably sub-license Nokia's patent portfolio to every Windows and Windows Phone maker out there.

The genius here (on Microsoft's part) is that the two other players (Apple and the Android ecosystem) will have to do whatever it takes to prevent Nokia's portfolio ending up in the hands of an NPE.
Wow, that's... epic.

It is kind of expensive, and relatively easy to break. You could get an indestructable Lumia 900 for $0 on contract for a while and I think it never went over $100. Right now you can get one for $20 on the Amazon Wireless page.
I have the exact same problem every time I pick up my wife's ipod touch; I can't remember how to do anything on it. I'd take it one step further, however, and say that it's a lot easier to use the buttons that Android presents and figure out what they do then... discover "oh, you just 4 finger swipe" on the iDevice. The iDevices just seem to have a lot of interactions that you just won't ever discover on your own.

That being said, I really wish Android devices were as polished as the iPhone. I just don't think the ways that you interact with the system and their intuitiveness are a place where Apple wins out.
I'm fairly certain that you keep the balance in a single wallet, so can send from a different address than the one that received the funds, so really, all this tells us is that they haven't been stupid and sent money out from the same wallet they sent it to.
> using the phone with gloves on

This could be huge feature in colder climates. I can see Koreans and northern Eurpeans going nuts for this.

> NFC

Too early to tell, because phones have only just started using it.

> wireless charging

I can see this becoming really important in the future. A sound docks that wirelessly charges your phone while wirelessly receiving the music - and works with any WP8 or Android phone - could be a huge seller.

But is it really important that it looks like you arrived after you left? Can't we just know that the light from one thing took longer to reach us than the other so what we are seeing is just an artifact of FTL.

Can that prevent causality? Or does it prevent relativity?
There are multiple problems with your statement ...

- It shows you're an American, otherwise you wouldn't hand-wave the price of an iPhone, even when speaking about phones being given by kids to parents.

- the iPhone seems simple to you because you've gotten used to it. Compared with classic rotary phones, the iPhone is anything but simple - of course, for the provided functionality, the iPhone has a lot of features packed in a tight package that has a pretty simple interface by today's standards. But regarding parents, on the contrary, I've watched my mom struggle with an iPhone, before she got back to an older Nokia model, with a simple key pad and no extra functionality other than SMS.

- because of the specs, the iPhone consumes a lot of battery, even by using it only for your basic needs - it's sure nice to have a phone with a battery that lasts for 7 days of normal usage.

- mobile phones are designed to be usable for 2 years, after which the battery and the hardware start falling apart.

Also, the T9 dictionary was really awkward. I don't think anybody was suggesting that Nokia should return to their older models. I do think that some company in the future will come up with a sexy design and a set of features for simple phones that customers will absolutely love.
Actually, I am pretty certain he fully expected all kinds of alternate views to spring up within hours.
That's a weak answer. Just put it out there, let other people maintain it.

Not that I'm saying they have to release it (I respect their right to do whatever they want with their own work), but as far as reasons to not release something, that's pretty weak.
