Microsoft's Mark Penn Mistake: Treating Google Like a Political Rival

Is Sending Messages Through WebSockets Slow on Chrome?
It's so funny how people can have similar experience and opposite results. I don't doubt that you build them quickly, but there are a lot of variables to take into account I think.

I actually deploy desktop apps to a lightly controlled HIPAA environment that is mostly Windows. We use ClickOnce to get as close to zero-deployment as possible. We also do web applications private and public (for our clients).

Personally - I'm not sure how I could build HTML apps faster and still retain the same quality. I'm betting that your HTML apps, like ours, aren't as "rich" as the desktop counterparts.

Another variable is that rewriting any product as a minimum-viable-product often goes quicker. Not saying that's how it went out for you, but it's worth mentioning.
This feels a lot like one of those comments people will link to in 5 years and give a wry chuckle.

"No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame."
I am arguing it is not even useful for that. If you simply want to share files across a LAN (the use case for these oneliners), SimpleHTTPServer falls flat on its face. It'll transfer large files at DSL-like rates and time out completely on directories with large numbers of files in them.

What are you supposed to do with an http server after getting one quickly? Stare at the open port? The only thing quick about SimpleHTTPServer is the startup time. Don't actually try using the server.

The specific instance that put me off of the python servers was when a friend downloaded a CableGate tarball and someone else wanted to look at it. No one had a flash drive on them, but the fellow did have python installed. One SimpleHTTPServer later and the tarball was being transferred at 100KB/sec, slower than the original download. The cables were all html anyway so let's try uncompressing the tarball and serving those. Now the server would time out instead.

What do people actually use SimpleHTTPServer for?
Fair but sometimes it's unavoidable when you're trying to use third party APIs such as Facebook or Google. The only option is to allow some sort of external login (be it oauth or something similar)

> They are certainly quick to use the word "illegal" where others would say "fair use".

The article is reasonably balanced. We don't know yet if the courts see this as fair use or illegal because it hasn't been tested yet. But the DMCA notices are working; Thingverse has had a few and they've taken things down. So, "as 3-D printing becomes more accessible, copyright questions arise".

Rights holders may try a big grab early on to attempt control and to influence concepts of what's acceptable. "Want a Yoda? Buy this plan. But you're not allowed to transform it."

As you say it's not likely to work. I'm pleased that 3d printing got started with no DRM. But it's sad that rights-holders are not recognising the power of the masses to create and develop their properties. "Here's a model of X. Let's see what you can do!" and then putting the results on a website would generate sales.
May I humbly suggest, for the sake of grammar:

> Sexualized photos of people taken without their consent is bad. The very fact of taking sexualized photos without consent/knowledge (e.g. upskirt photos) is harassment.

Oh yes, I agree.
The store probably has CCTV cams recording you already...
Also, it can be seen as, a possible supportive fact, to the theory, that the millions of elderly around globe, can become a major force, if they turn to going on such hunches. They are better suited to form the other side of research, the research based on intuition, rather than based as a job/interest field.

After retirement, you can safely say, you have lived your responsibilities, and this example promotes, that how going out to find things that touch your curiosity, can really work well. Elderly have all the time and skill to do research, as research for yourself, does not require meeting weekly/monthly deadlines, and due to having seen life already, their hunches are way better than that of a 20 year old.
I would always choose the non-voice option if possible, even in english, but can anyone think of a useful way this could work without it?

I don't understand why they keep pushing the niche GoPro-style use case, and there's no way it has the battery life to really work for the livestream use case for more than a few minutes. I think the main use case would be people that want to look like they're paying attention in social situations and can't have their heads buried in their phone but still want to check their email and texts. But maybe that's not a sexy enough idea to sell. One thing that's missing from this new site is the eye-gestures that seemed to be part of demos last year. If it's going to be only voiced-controlled that would ruin it for the discreet-email-checking use case.
You're missing the fact that the only way to interface with it is by voice. If you want to send a message to another person, you need to speak it out loud. If that person is nearby, it's not really telepathy, it's just talking.

Google glass isn't going to get a bunch of apps or options, because nobody is going to go around saying things like 'ok glass scroll left', 'ok glass install/open instagram', 'ok glass show me his profile'.
Sorry but honestly these examples are repulsive to me
Interesting take on the subject which fails to mention one of the worst problems with the campaign — Microsoft appears to be trying to do exactly what it accuses Google of doing.

One of the things that makes lighthearted negative ads effective is that they usually aren't more true of the company throwing mud.

We should note that Microsoft has frequently engaged in slightly less overtly negative "taste test" style advertising (e.g. bing vs google, windows phone 7 vs. anyone) despite usually not comparing all that favorably.
This is a fundamental misunderstanding about how Apple does innovation. They are far less likely to "experiment" on their user base as the author describes Samsung doing, and often their innovations are pretty incremental but very well thought out and polished. Some users appreciate Apple's more conservative approach to innovation, and others find it stifling. Low and behold, there's a market for both types of people.
An GPS-enabled app where a user can set taxi rates and audits whether or not the taxi they are in is A) using a meter that has been altered/is fraudulent and B) if the taxi driver is potentially taking a negligent route based on traffic/etc.

I'm in DC and with increased competition from Uber/etcetera, taxi fraud has been on the rise. Just google for example news reports and FBI busts.
Wow. Thanks! I wear glasses to and it's also my concern. But my problem now, my lens are too thick (my grade is high) to be held up by a half frame. I always need a full framed glass. And I think, that one in the picture is just half framed.
Yeah, it's too bad that Google will never think to improve their voice-recognition software beyond English.
After people start wearing them around everywhere they'll become a lot cooler.

This seems like a silly beef to have with a revolutionary product that still is in beta. You know it's developed by an American company, right? It's not crazy for them to have the first language supported to be the language the people from the company speak. Give it some time.
The recorded videos' have a strange voyeuristic feel, probably due to the POV being so close to the wearer's eyes. That you can use the glasses do do a hangout in real time and broadcast seems novel though.

There's no shortage of sci-fi stories dealing with this sort of always-on recording. "Strange Days", "Black Mirror (#3)". I wonder about the legality of this product, if it becomes inconspicuous.

Some product ideas:

1) "Datecast" -- get real-time advice and tips while on a date (or at a job interview. Or a business meeting -- is this startup's idea really that original? Or while shopping for some more complex consumer product: your remote wine expert suggests you to buy this particular bottle based on your previous tastes).

2) "Lifecast" -- our team of professionals reviews a total stream of your life and gives you advice on everything. They remind you how your wife liked this necklace a few days ago (you forgot, but they paid attention for you). That business meeting where you discussed your database scaling issues? An hour later we give you a call with with tips how to solve it. That hallway conversation? Transcripted before the next day.

3) Vacationcast: too old or poor or busy to go on a vacation? Want to relive your youth? Be anyone you want, transmitted in real time, unedited (this assumes that there's some thrill that seeing things happen real time, unscripted has over a more edited vacation footage). If video and audio alone is not enough, the vacationcasting company could offer a comfortable room, with scents and texture from your vacation destination.

4) Crimecam: anonymously send bitcoins to a criminal, encouraging a rampage of crime, broadcasted to your group of backers in real time. Will he get away with it?

Although, justin.tv has been doing this sort of thing for a while, and I'm not sure what has come out of it.
So I take it you never go outside? CCTV is already omnipresent. I'm not saying I agree with it, just that there are larger surveillance battles to be fought.

Thanks for the reply. That's a good name, although I'd extend it to the "Jury of Murderers Fallacy".

I think your example is subtly different though, and is similar to what I think of as the "You Don't Know What It's Like Fallacy". So named because of its typical use when criticising or commenting on X: "How dare you. You don't know what it's like to be X". X being any group you care to name from Atheists to Zoophiles. Or, in your example, murderers.

This case is slightly different, since the fallacy is to claim that you cannot criticise A, where A is an act, process or tradition, unless you have a personal connection or experience with A. If I had used this fallacy against my adversary, I could perhaps have claimed that he has no right to criticise the Singaporean justice system since he is not Singaporean, or that he has no standing to criticise because he has not been a victim of violent crime.

Personal Experience Fallacy? Personal Connection Fallacy? Outsider Fallacy? Insider Fallacy? I'll think about this.

Like, not having the ability to use your phone's basic features without iTunes?
I agree. I think, like cell phones, they will add more value in specific occupations, like package deliveries/warehouses, than everyday life. Once enough niche apps are developed and people start to feel the need to bring those apps into everyday life, then people will use them.
Surely they could provide it as an option. Most of the glass photos I've seen have had no actual glass (ha), while some of them had sunglass lenses or actual lenses. I'm sure there will be options to suit your tastes.
You could also do this:

grep -n __main__ *.py|grep __name__

which turns up few false positives.
many people witness a lot of "important" real life things through the screen/lens of their phone.. for those situations, you're covered - and it's pointing where you look, so you don't have to look at it to know it's recording what you see.. (ish)

This is a simple project I created - it loads the first Google result (in an iframe) for the search term you enter, as you enter it.

As Google have extensively indexed almost every content heavy site, this works as a kind of instant search for any site.

Some examples;

'imdb searchterm'
'youtube searchterm'

Some sites won't work as they don't allow themselves to be framed.

No chance unfortunately. Even the IO 2012 signup was only available to US based attendees.

There's regulatory hurdles for them to cover.
It'll work just fine with "famous" people. All it takes is enough digital audio. I think newsreader/journalist types will have the worst of it, and unfortunately hype has to flow past them, so there are going to be PR issues.

I could imagine entire soundboards being created to spoof people into viewing internet shock sites, etc.

For example, lets pick on Leo Laporte, because I like him and he's famous in the tech journalism community. He must have thousands of hours, tens of thousands of hours, of digital audio free for use on the net. So all you need is a simple audio editor and an audio player to play the spliced commandline and you can spoof him. So at any time in his long recorded career has Leo ever said the words "girls" and "one" and "two" and "image" and "cup" and "google" and "search"? Well, I think he could be shock site'd pretty well with this technique. Not just shock sites, but rickrolls would be funny too.

This takes some planning ahead, but not much.
If the glass measured pupil dilation it could disable certain functions in times of emergency.

It's not really as easy as "use X library". As another commenter mentioned - using stunnel might be better than "rolling your own" based on well tested primitives, but "just using openssl" isn't necessarily a good solution, see eg this recent discussion:

I can assure you that there were drives larger than 20G in 2000. I had a server with 4 23G Seagate Elites at that time, and the Elite was an _old_ 5 1/4 FH SCSI drive. 18G Seagate Barracudas were certainly alive and kicking since 1997 at minimum (the year I started building real production servers).
Maybe, but I never met anybody wearing Google Glass driving (riding?) a driverless car. Real artists ship.
Hmmm--do I detect a bit of personal knowledge of this activity?
Turn-by-turn directions alone for pedestrians, cyclists and motor bikes is probably enough to make a successful product. Google Now with glass could also be pretty amazing, and since you always have the sound on it could actually make push to talk (or.. talk to talk) a reality (since before it was too cumbersome to hear something, open your phone, say 'what', they repeat... 'oh ok', repeat..)

Like your ideas though, hopefully third party devs can make them a reality (I'm guessing battery is the issue on the persistant video recognition stuff). Seriously upbeat about this, it could change lives
Quote from a recent Marco Arment blog:

"The four-product lineup is long gone. Today, Apple ships 24 distinct iPhone hardware models in two screen sizes. The iPad is even more diverse: 48 distinct hardware models, two screen sizes, and two densities of the larger size. They also sell 34 iPods, and a surprisingly diverse and conflicted notebook line."
They need people with cash, otherwise their users won't be able to afford all the horses, planes and balloons necessary to enjoy the full Google Glass experience.

It's just me speculating, but I think the television still has plenty appeal. And actually if Apple will release it, it will be much more of a living room computer compared to a traditional TV - at least in capabilities, but not so much in the way we'll interact with it.

I'm sure lots of people still prefer to watch a programme like Game of Thrones behind a television set in the living room compared to on a tablet, laptop or PC. People also hate commercials and want on-demand television and there's still plenty of opportunity in this market (in most of Europe we don't have Netflix yet, for example and many other on-demand services are rather expensive).

Despite the terrible Microsoft execution, I think there is a real issue here about privacy... it's just that nobody in their right mind is going to weigh in just because Microsoft tells them to.

People are getting more aware of what happens to their data - and concerned about it - and while a political solution will probably be cackhanded, the tech community can surely do better than giants slogging it out over soundbites.
They will really have your eyeballs now!

I am still interested though cause perhaps we will have one by canonical in 2020!
well, they're asking you what you would do with it, right? keep in mind this is a developer edition, so they most likely want people to come up with new ideas of apps and use cases that they did not even think about, not just tell them what you would record with them or where you would take a picture without using your hands, we already know that glass can do that!
As a frequent user of public transportation, people who intend to replace their phone with Glass should burn in hell for all eternity.
This isn't v1.0. Steve Mann has been researching these things for over 20 years now (Sorry google). This is approximately version 5.0. Everything that can be thought of or done in this space has been researched and demo'd with funding by Steve Mann (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Mann) and his fellows for decades. Google Glass is not a serious activity, it's mainly a skunk works/rich man's toy/fun project for the well-heeled.

Wow. This is marketing material. This is going to be a real thing.

Wanna bet Google gives them away for free so they can sell advertising based on your exact context and needs; even what you're looking at? Maybe.

But just the idea and possibility of that is incredible. Imagine what this could be used for; not just what we can think of now, but a whole new paradigm of ubiquitous computing, a world to which mobile phones were only a stepping stone.

Come to think of it, I don't think we're ready for this.

Money is a measurement of value, like popularity is a measurement of skill. They're both poor measurements, but very easy to apply, they cater to everyone's understanding and there's undeniably a correlation. Therefor they get used a lot and people lose sight of how poor they are in many situations. Numbers also allow us to decouple from the ethics of the situation.

Take healthcare. You would not put a price on your own life: it is priceless to you. Nevertheless we put prices on other people's lives, because it is the easy way out, is accepted by almost everyone and allows us to avoid having to answer nasty questions. No one wants to honestly say someone unknown is worth nothing to them to keep alive. So you say you will only support health care up to $10K a year, because you know the chance a loved one will ever need more is extremely small. You talk abstract numbers to prevent from having to admit to yourself that you just don't give a damn. That wouldn't fit in with our ethics, would it?
