The way I see it, Win8 is Win7 with some polish to the core components (runs a little smoother, improved file management dialogues, etc) and some different menu design. Once you are comfortable with the different menus, there is basically no sacrifice.

The "tile" menus are actually even an improvement for my HTPC. Not perfect- HTPC never gets enough love- but better.

Starting off from the API seems like the only sensible way to approach things. It exposes core design issues early on, and if done right, eliminates a wide source of security issues that might be introduced by, say, the front-end developers.

The underdog has room to improve - the reigning king has a throne to rest its laurels upon.

I imagine Chrome will pick back up soon, Google needs to make a move on web apps in Android before the Firefox Marketplace steals the webapp momentum.
It'd be a pain in the rear to setup and keep synched for my home computer, lab computer, and smartphone. And Horde's not amazing, but it works well enough.
Android was open as long as people did what google wanted with it.

That's the antithesis of open.
One thing to note about this specific problem: this is an example of the traveling salesman problem with a metric. This makes efficient (good) approximation algorithms a possibility.

Many NP-hard approximation algorithms classes teach a 1.5 approx known as the Christofides algorithm. This algorithm is guaranteed to provide an approximate solution that is no worse than 1.5 times the optimal total distance, and often much better.
So what bug has Intel fixed?
XP was good enough. Until it is no longer good enough for what people use it for (Microsoft Office environment or an email client) it won't be replaced.

I just hope we can see some congergence in either the ChromeOS or Linux Desktop space to see those eventual switches be to alternate platforms to remove the MS stranglehold.
Chrome has gone from the 'fastest' (whatever that means) and 'leanest' (ditto) to one that has the (penultimate) worst cold start times[1] and worst memory efficiency[2].

I don';t understand how Safari can have > 50% market share. I mean people in china and india definitely don't use iOS or OS X. How come safari numbers are so high?

It's also interesting to see how common IE is. In my company, we don't even test for IE anymore, it's chrome all the way. We think IE is negligible minority now!
Those are the ones that took me the longest. There are so many minor variations of C/Java/Javascript/Lisp that it takes a while to figure out which one you are looking at.

Youtube:

* Buffering was nerfed/broken some time ago. I can no longer watch 720p+ videos on youtube at all.

* Changing video quality now has a long and unavoidable delay, and often fails outright.

* Google are evidently uneasy about the profile name that I signed up with, and have been repeatedly nudging me to change it. I don't know how to reassure them about my choice.

* Advertising. Everywhere.
Seeing as OS X is at 7% market share, I would say that it has less to do with OS X and more to do with users not upgrading from previous versions of Windows. Not that you would ever even think that when walking around SF.
OK so I'm not a finance guy at all, but can you explain what I'm not getting:

http://www.google.com/finance?q=NYSE%3ALNKD&fstype=ii

363M revenue. Minus a ton of things for operating income of 8M. Then tax brings it to 3.7M.

On what basis are we supposed to think LinkedIn is suddenly going to eliminate > $300M of quarterly costs?

If you do the "1 times revenue" (so about 1BN) that's still not close to being worth 32B.

I asked the same things when I was 18 in the dot-com boom and got hand-wavy responses and people talking about eyeballs and stuff. Why is this fundamentally different? I understand if it's too much to explain in a comment, but could you link to some introduction that explains why a company's costs should be ignored?

Also, why the stock would go up when they meet expectations? If you bought into the high P/E at $100 on the logic of "yeah the PE is high, but it's growing into it" then you'd expect the PE to lower as they meet their goals. Instead the PE stays around the same area and the stock goes up. That does not sound rational. Edit: Like, 1% profit margin, so even if they magically multiply that by 10 or 20 times, that'd still mean a PE in the hundreds.

That graph is only counting mobile browser share. That counts all iOS devices.

Since iPhones/iPod Touches/iPads make up over 50% of all mobile devices, this leads to a large portion of mobile web traffic using Safari.
This makes a project I was almost done with much easier. Start over, or finish with the way I was previously doing it?

As a developer, I've gone back and forth over the years. I just switched back to Firefox I think for good though. Chrome crashes consistently now and having Gmail and google music open at the same time is a total resource hog. I was even using the Canary version and that was hardly ever stable.

I've also come to favor firebug over chrome's dev tools.

> For all practical purposes, on a desktop the "tile" menu just replaces the start menu.

Yes, except that with the old "Start" menu, because it was hierarchical and because each item was much smaller, you could pack a lot more information into it than you can with a screen of tiles.

As things are unfolding, it seems we'll have both a tile display and a hierarchical tree behind the old "Start" button or some equivalent.
Back when Blackberry was king, quite a few people carried a phone that was provided / paid for by their company, and they didn't have a personal phone. This is because cell phones / plans were expensive (remember 45 cents per minute?). Then, once the family plans started to become popular (it took a while, as it had to wait for people with company-provided phones to switch jobs to a company that didn't provide phones), more companies started to switch to BYOD. And I don't know about anyone else, but once I was able to choose my own device, it WAS NOT going to be a limited functionality stripped down corporate phone.

My hypothesis is that Chrome is lately sacrificing memory for speed by doing heavier matryoshka caching on the rendered parts of a page. This is important for, say, smoothly compositing DOM elements on top of a WebGL canvas, or compositing CSS3-animated elements into a scrollable div. (Actually, I'd think this would cause higher video memory usage, not regular memory usage, but I'm not quite sure how Chrome tracks video memory; is it all grouped together as the memory usage of the "GPU process" in Chrome's task manager?)
You're missing the court's reasoning. First, the issue is moot, since you got the footage. Mootness is a Constitutional limitation on the judicial power. Constitutional standing requires an injury, causation, and redressability. If your injury has already been redressed through the release of the video, it's Constitutionally improper for the District Court to adjudicate the issue.

Second, the District Court isn't saying that it's okay to lie in response to a request under the FPRA in general. Rather, its saying that because Broward was acting at the direction of the TSA, the TSA's direction to deny the existence of the footage preempted any requirement under the FPRA to respond to the request. Remember, lying is not in general illegal. It's only illegal in specific contexts under specific statutes.
A) slow last gen chip (rk3088), superseded by rockchip's RK3166: far slower than an i.mx6. B) no easy path to run linux, only really intended for Android stick use (Rockchip hasn't had an open source come to jesus meeting & won't- freescale makes docs avail). C) extremely limited I/o on the MK808 and all Android sticks- single USB + HDMI is it.

There are some interesting sticks out if the i/o limitation is ok but the MK808 is obsolete & slow.

Quality education already is a commodity, if you can learn by self-teaching, example, peer study, or through information transfer. Only if you can only learn through rigored instruction will you find education expensive.

Barnes and Noble should have gotten here first. Think of the difference "Would you like the ebook with that?" at checkout could have made (in terms of building Nook, incremental store memberships and so on). Instead, they bet on the agency model and focused on the wrong things.

Yeah, I think it's mostly enterprises' "do not want" reaction to Win8. Win7 was great for enterprise, but Win8 is just a horrible fit for that market. I think it will get skipped by enterprises just like Vista did.

It's a good start, but something is bothering me about having to pay on top of a physical book to get the ebook. While making the ebook is not free, I'd argue it's pretty cheap to make since you need a digital version of your book anyway before making a physical product out of it, and technically speaking buying a book means buying a license to read it - so why would you have to pay twice to access the very same content ? From a license viewpoint this should be free or close to free.

Or am I missing something?

If you ever work at a company with a 401k, make sure you read the matching rules and vesting rules for company contributed funds! If you are not earning 100% of company matched money, you're throwing away money that the company already allocated as part of your total compensation. Maybe that's OK if you want to take the cash home instead, but at least be aware of your options.

Also make sure you look at fund fees; some employers will let you continue operating your 401k after you terminate employment, but you may pay higher fees. Some funds may look great but may have very high fees.

If your company makes automatic contributions (not matching; straight-up contributions) make sure the cash is actually invested in something. Company contributions may have wildly differing vesting schedules, too, be aware.
If the whole case is sinking heat, that's a relatively decent amount of surface area to dissipate it. If the heat was a problem it would be pretty simple to add additional surface area. The fact that they have not done so would suggest to me that the heat situation is just fine.
I doubt x64 would be less horrific. As for ARM, there is Cambridge's Baking Pi course http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/projects/raspberrypi/tutorials/os/, which has you develop an "Operating System" for the Raspberry Pi. Although, from looking at it, it seems more like an embedded systems course than an OS course. It talks about controlling hardware like LEDs, monitor, and keyboard, but it doesn't talk about stuff that full-fledged operating systems have, like scheduling of userspace processes, memory mapping, filesystems, etc.
What gives me anxiety is complaining about minor UX changes for a class-leading free product on a site that's called "Hacker News".

> Win8 is just a horrible fit for that market

If they bring back the Start menu (which they're half doing in 8.1) and allow the OS to boot directly into Desktop mode, then I think that Windows 7 and 8 would be essentially the same for enterprise users. They can just ignore all the new touch/consumer-centric features that have been added on. In fact, there are quite a few improvements under the hood from 7 to 8 that they could benefit from.

I accidentally deleted an email thread the other day. How? When replying in Gmail, there's a little button below the editing area that has a trash can icon and will discard a draft. There's a button with an identical icon on the same screen, just above the editing area that will delete the email/thread. I don't know much about design, but this strikes me as an extremely poor interface.

I use 8 on my laptop and Surface RT. Here are a few tidbits:

- With a few exceptions, I don't use any "modern UI" apps. I'm not a huge fan of them, just like I'm not a fan of most iPad apps. I like multitasking and power-usering too much. For example, I greatly prefer desktop IE to modern IE, even on a Surface with no keyboard/mouse, because it feels faster and the tabs and toolbars are always visible - I'd rather have them there than a tiny bit more browser viewport.

- I use a couple modern apps on the Surface where I have no alternative, like Skype. That said, if I'm in full-on "tablet mode" (on the couch or standing, no keyboard attached, just consuming), the good modern apps feel just as good as or better than the good iPad apps. Browsing photos on SkyDrive or using Xbox SmartGlass, Maps or the video player feels good.

- On my laptop, everything works on the desktop as it always has, plus a few small enhancements over Win7. Launch apps by hitting the Windows key and the typing to search - I don't really care that it brings up the "Start screen" for a second. I don't use the tiles at all.

-I primarily use my Surface as a mini-laptop (with a Type Cover, the one with real keys) and almost exclusively use it for the browser and OneNote.

- Regarding right-click: on both Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8, MS is trying to standardize on the "tap and hold for a second" gesture for right-click/context menu. It's used all over the first-party apps and many third-party apps.

- Not sure what you mean about the charms bar having no mouse area forgiveness. On a touch screen, you swipe in from the bezel. On a monitor with a mouse, you hit the top right corner and mouse down along the edge.

- App specific settings menus are in the Settings charm. All of the charms (Search, Share, Devices, Settings) are context-sensitive to the running modern app. To me, this feels like "excessive refactoring" of the UI: it makes sense in some aspect because those features/activities are common across many apps, but it does feel weird to have them grouped and hidden away like that, especially in apps where one of those activities (usually search) is likely to be the first and only thing you do.

All in all, some of the new foundational concepts do need some further work, but they're not rotten to the core. If you're a standard desktop or laptop user with a mouse and keyboard and you prefer your desktop apps, then skip the modern ones. If you have Windows 7 and have no problems with it, there might not really be any reason for you to switch, but I don't think 8 is really a step back from 7 unless you're really on the hunt for things to gripe about.
Hopefully, it will work like Google Groups. Meaning that for the next two or three years, we will be told that "The old Google Maps will be going away soon," but it won't actually happen.

It's so nice of Google to give their users so much advance warning of incoming suckage. I guess that's part of the whole don't-be-evil mission statement. Kudos to them.

I know a ton of Rails web dev hipsters who totally ignore IE. It's quite amusing to see the same guys who were whining about IE-specific sites back in the early '00s now making WebKit-specific sites that they only test on their MacBooks and iPhones.
