Actually it was more common back then. Remember, "client" and "server" are backwards in the context of X. A "thin client" actually runs an X Server, and you remotely launch an xterm on the central server as an "x client", exported to your display.

However, as the email states, this only gets you the same access your user already had on the remote system, unless it's a setuid program. The canonical example and only one I can think of off the top of my head is xscreensaver or xlock. There are now GUI versions of su/sudo that would also be targets, but I don't think variants of these were used back when this topology was common.
The vast majority of books are taller than they are high. It’s way more natural to read books on the iPad in portrait orientation, and that’s also how it’s shown in iPad commercials[1].

What people talk about on Facebook throughout their lives
YES! We're keeping the tradition alive!
If the reason they can't document is because they have a small team, then this is an easy solution for Google - hire some people to document the system. They don't even have to be in direct contact with the actual development team, just access to the source code and developer design documents should be enough. For a company the size of Google with the amount of profits they make, 'small team' is just not an excuse for anything.

The move is definitely deliberate, they can't have Skype come in and allow people with Skype to make calls to hangout when the hangout client can't make calls into Skype. It would make them look bad.
Yes. Note that when I say industry, I also cover geographical differences.
I agree with you, history is pretty much full of committee designed specs that failed, but full of defacto standards from commercially successful products that are later standardized.

A lot of the features, like group video calling, first need their use cases polished by user trial, then hopefully, they can be implemented on top of either existing standards, provide inputs to change those standards to satisfy the requirements.

OpenID/OAuth is an instructive example. The specs were built very much driven by committee oriented thinking, and the resulting UX implementations out of the gate were much more complicated than the Facebook Connect experience. I think actually focusing on the "design" aspect of how users use it, and then extracting the relevant technical requirements into a spec works better.
Yeah, I don't get that approach at all. I started with that, ran into a case where I wanted a route resolve, couldn't figure out how to do it without a huge amount of hassle, and ended up reorganizing around screens. I do still have global services, directives, and filters, but I define them as close to screens as I can and only pull them up to a global scope when necessary. The module-per-screen approach makes a lot of sense from both Angular and Require's perspective, I think.

We use the optimizer as well, during our build process, so you can use require to load everything during development and then optimize everything down into a single file later. The optimizer is pretty powerful and supports several different scenarios for doing this.

This is absolutely a true statement:

"(T)he primary problem with using market share as a measure of business health is it provides no insight into the profitability of the product being sold."

But other than that, the answer to "who is winning" is first defined by what goals the competitors are competing to reach.

If Androids goal is market share, and Apples goal is profit, both could be winning...and at the same time.

They should make more of the lack of multiple user accounts on the iPad. Most families I know share an iPad among the whole household. The lack of separate user accounts is a major pain point.
It's disgusting for someone who's not used to it, the same way that offensive and overtly graphical language can be disgusting to someone who grew up in a puritanical household.

It is a shame there aren't more technical details in that post though.
Where does the author say geeks should stay out of politics?

I'm not seeing "place-ism" in the article the same way you are. The author appears to be disputing the arrogance and isolationism often attributed to Silicon Valley by pointing out that groups like FWD.us are getting involved in political discussions. He seems to celebrate the fact that Silicon Valley is getting involved in the "politics-as-usual"
You have the option of branding it for each of those main usages that you mention. Make a website like "ScubaBooking.com" and "OutdoorAdventureBooking.com" and just slightly customize the website for each one. People like the idea of having a piece of software specifically for their business. Plus, it probably improves your SEO.

Not exactly the same thing, but WebHosting companies seem to do this. They have a solution and just rebrand and resell the shit out of it.

It also seems somewhat disingenuous to complain about the lack of office apps on iPad, when MSFT is clearly to blame for that lack...
Thanks. It's actually really hard to see from that image which one is larger.
I think you've got it backwards. If Google was really concerned with making Hangouts a competitive moat by blocking interoperability, why would they be plowing so much effort into WebRTC, a technology which pretty much commodifies Hangouts and makes it possible for anyone to implement peer to peer video or audio group chat? Skype is actually trying to block WebRTC, as is Cisco WebEx, and Nokia.

I don't really see that Google would have anything to gain by blocking interoperability with Skype, Skype is the market leader, it is usually those who are not market leaders in a particular area to push for interop, and usually those who have a hold on the market to resist.

I don't think you should be under any obligation, legal or moral to be forced to licence your competitive advantage to your competitor.

>Low concentrations of anything are harmless.

That is a true and useless statement. By the same token high concentrations of anything are harmful but nobody is going to call water a pollutant. The question is about why and how something is harmful and whether it builds up. First off, why are you saying the acid is the problem? From my reading, talking about decomposition sapping oxygen, it sounds like it's the sugar and the fact that it's a food. And food isn't a pollutant. You leave it alone, it rots, nobody is harmed unless you dump large amounts of it in one spot. Now let's contrast with an actual pollutant like smoke. A whole lot of people emitting small amounts of smoke does build up, and it lingers. It causes direct harmful effects.
The second group of people, once they try to actually build something to help millions of people on their own without anybody to blame, often find that fighting MySQL crapping itself is an integral part of building anything that helps millions of people.

> large amount of waste heat - which, in turn, acidifies local waterways

Say what??? That makes no sense. Do you really believe that, or did you typo?

Yes, nuclear power does need a heat dump, but the waste heat has only a local effect on the water in the close vicinity.

You understand that it doesn't really consume the water right (except for a small amount that evaporates)? It just dumps heat in it, then sends it downstream, which isn't great for fish, but it's not terrible either - the effects are minimal, and local only, by the time the water flows a bit downstream it has cooled off back to the normal temperature.

And you can use sea water, the salt doesn't effect the cooling ability, but I don't think there are any plants near coastlines.

I find it rather annoying that everyone seems to be advocating Go, it may be a good language, but I can't help but feel that the only reason it's being used is because Google's behind it. You guys should look into alternatives like Nimrod (http://nimrod-code.org/), which is in fact a lot closer to Python than Go will ever be.
You're quite right about the books I remember the Self-Help series for all kinds of legal documents, but they were essentially dumb. If the person using those forms made an error it probably wouldn't be caught and could be costly. Modern electronic systems have, what may be described as intelligence, though certainly not understanding, such that user error should be much less common. Also with consumer grade financial software different scenarios can be evaluated and actions suggested based on data analysis; so there's more than just UX improvements occurring in these systems.

Definitely interesting, but would love to see some results other than leafy greens and basil. From what I know (farmed in Vancouver, BC) neither have much disease pressure, nor require much manual attention.

If an initial goal is to increase local produce for winter months in cooler climates (than California) then seeing tomatoes, summer squash, and fruits seems necessary. I think berries could be confined to the small space, but what about fruit trees? I personally store (preserve or freeze) berries and peaches to have in winter.

Kale and other leafy's can be over-wintered with much cheaper (to build and operate) green or hoop houses – at least in the pacific northwest.

I understand they are in the MVP kinda stage, but to me, to see any potential value I would need to know if fruit, tomatoes, summer squash can be done in winter, as those require more heat, more sun, and have higher disease pressure.
I wouldn't be surprised if they can legally say "The Asus tablet has a 10.1" screen and the iPad has a 9.7" screen", but I'd strongly expect they need a "* based on diagonal measurement" footnote to get away with calling that display "bigger". But I'm not a lawyer.
There will be more in the future. :)
This isn't similar at all. Jobs and co are using the viewing angle of a 3d graph to have the Apple share be closer and 'larger' than the farther and now 'smaller' Other section.

Facebook chat is XMPP, yes, if that's what you are asking.
So is Sergey.
Oh, I know. But I still think it's good to feel guilty about it so you feel the need to fix it properly later.

EDIT: And of course, there's learning from your mistakes so you can get it right on the first try the next time you have to do a similar thing.
Also add WhatsApp, Line, KakaoTalk, Viber, Kik.

Google is getting clobbered in the messaging space by these apps. If Google thinks they can move faster by dropping XMPP support, I'm fine with it.

Imagine if Google sticks with XMPP and continue to lose market share in messaging. They might have to shut down Talk. We know what happens when Google sunsets a product, lots of angry people.

Lose-lose situation for Google here.
the erosion of shopping malls continues.

warrants noting that malls require anchor tenants to work. It's the convenience of to being able to go to one location and get clothes, tools, make-up, music, videos, books, etc, that makes malls work. I know people have been predicting the demise of the shopping mall since their introduction but this will be interesting to watch.
A trick of perspective is a lesser lie than specifically claiming a smaller screen is bigger.

As a consumer media company Yahoo needs a way to grow it's user base and increase it's reach. My guess is that many of Yahoo's existing users have been loyal to the companies core products (Mail, Finance, Portal, Homepage, etc.) and see no need to switch to the latest and greatest services, but reaching new users has been a problem.

Through acquisitions Yahoo gains valuable consumer media properties (e.g. Tumblr) and also acquires the talent needed to build new properties.

Regardless, if they kept doing "business as usual" they would still generate revenue, but slowly fade into irrelevance like AOL.
Larry inspired me with his talk the other week, in which he lamented that Microsoft (and others) were playing silly zero-sum games in their own closed ecosystems.

I've immediately stopped using as many Google products as I can in response to this after trying out the new hangouts a few days ago and finding I couldn't connect with my friends that weren't on Google.

I'm sad - this directly removes choice and is a sort of lockin. I now can't use Google to communicate with people who choose not to participate in Google's ecosystem for whatever reason.

By leaving, I also make it harder to communicate with many friends who are on Google.

Google, you've alienated me.

The technical barrier for Erlang is much much greater in my opinion than Go. Introducing something into our stack is a very tricky situation. We are mostly all Python engineers, so bringing in something new has to be intuitive for others to pick up on and get involved.
There is no wrong fact in there. A 10.1" display is larger than a 9.7" display if you compare them by the length of the diagonal. This is common practice. It was the article that claimed that larger display means larger display area. The add leaves to used metric open but implies that it is the length of the diagonal. The same for the images. The add claims nowhere that they are to scale. The article just decides that they should be to scale.

So they are trying to create favorable image of their product, but they are not lying more than a price of $9.99 is lying by pretending to be way below $10.00.
4 Ways to Start a Business
I disagree. Screen sizes are always quoted in diagonal length.

edit: Not to say that it is unreasonable to think of screen size as area, but I think it is also reasonable to think in diagonal length, since that is the way monitors and TVs are generally advertised.

Right, but I'm asking you go a little deeper than just seemingly using the word "disgusting" again. I get that you find it disgusting, but can you introspect a little bit about why? I'm genuinely curious.

It's XMPP at core, but - AFAIK - they also do not support server-to-server federation. So you can connect to Facebook chat with any XMPP compatible client, but if you run your own ejabberd server, you can't connect to your server, and then message your Facebook friends.

In Turkish, "i" uppercases to "İ" (note the dot) - there's a separate undotted lowercase "ı" which becomes "I":

http://www.i18nguy.com/unicode/turkish-i18n.html

So basically if your goal is for "i".upperCase() to produce something which goes to another program (e.g. an API call), the Angular code is correct. If it's going to be displayed to humans, it's wrong. The documentation at http://docs.angularjs.org/api/angular.uppercase should probably specify that this cannot be used for user content.
