Tonido workspace is a very powerful PIM and collaborative app that employs unique horizontal information schema. Honestly, we believe it is better or equal to the best collob apps available out there both in cloud and desktop. It will also allow you to sync your files across computers: work or home.

Tonido webshare allows you to share files easily from your computer. You don't need to pay any subscription costs for a cloud storage. Yes there are other free apps available. But not in a one single package as Tonido.

If you have lot of high resolution photos, Tonido photos is a perfect fit. It uses p2p overlay to transfer photos. you don't need to wait for lengthy uploads.

Tonido jukebox allows you to listen to your music collection from any device with a browser. So you can have a single music server that streams music to multiple devices.

Tonido Torrent is a web based bit torrent client - If you want to start and stop torrents remotely - good option.

Tonido thots is a simple journal to capture your thoughts - like your personal wordpress.

TonidoPlug runs on 1/10 of your desktop or laptop power. That saves electricity costs.

There are number of other apps are also in pipeline: screenshare, openid, backup-sync, backpack clone.

In short, it really offers benefits other than not being cloud. It is quite possible one might not need any of these apps or the features that Tonido provides.It is not perfect. There are rough edges. We will correct it as we iterate.

As we release more apps and iterate the best ones we have, we think the users will see the obvious benefits in using Tonido.

I hope delicious comes out ok in all this.

Hi everyone,

Thanks for all your feedback. Your comments are well appreciated. I had come up with many of the same objections as well, but didn't have anyone to bounce the basic idea off. (I guess this is where having that co-founder comes in handy, as pg suggests.)

@notaddicted - that was a good read, thanks.

@TallGuyShort - your perfectly valid point would be solved by a solution that brings up other problems (i.e. who would be the trusted authority for validating accounts) as per notaddicted's link

In the end, some subtler means of identifying, managing and controlling the undesirable accounts would be better. I'm thinking along the lines of what pg is doing with this site with karma thresholds, etc.

Thanks again for all your insight.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I'm honestly not sure what the intention was since I didn't do the license, but I'll talk to the guys here about it.
Why not submit it on a provisional basis? i.e. full rounds, and let it be slow.

D-Bus support will open a whole new box of possibilities, I can't wait. Time to start hacking away writing a Pidgin <-> Emacs interface.

M-x butterfly as well.
TextMate on OSX is a lot like notepad++ (but better). Re: emacs, I think complaining about default key bindings is like complaining about the color of a tennis racket's handle - it's a sign of n00b :-P
It's time for people to move on from Emacs. Development effort would be better spent on lightweight editors that complement modern IDE editors (e.g., the Java editor in Eclipse).
No static bound variables in elisp? :(

D-Bus sounds exciting - does anyone know if there's any chance this will allow emacs to interface with firebug?
The Big Question: Are You Better Than Yesterday?
I think this an excellent point that gets lost in all of this. Anyone who is a jerk to the police has to expect to possibly be arrested. If Gates or anyone for that matter has a problem with the way a police office conducts themselves it's imperative that you maintain the moral high ground by above all not being a jack ass and asserting your rights politely.

When it comes out after the fact (in this case by Gate's own admission) that you've said some not nice things to the officer you really loose a huge amount of credibility no matter how right you are. Not to say that you should let a police officer who is acting inappropriately trample all over you but there is a right way and a wrong way to assert yourself and yelling and insults is not the right way.
Apple don't support non apple cables anymore, they do sell a cable that does what you need. Either buy the dam cable or go back to firmware 2.0. I didn't like it either, but they do have a reason to that (the octopus cable mentioned in the support forum) and they are probably going to stand by it.

Its like asking for microsoft to support their new bluetooth mice on windows 95. If I had windows 95 I would like them to, but it is not their obligation. I really wish they would support their freaking ABNT2 keyboards on macosx (which they don't, although the box says so).

There is no guarantee that something that worked before a soft/hard upgrade will continue to work, specially between major versions. Linux for christ sake dropped support for a lot of things between 2.4 - 2.6 and no one was whining about it. I mean, there is always someone whining on a linux forum...

My current favorite from poetry:

It may be that the gulfs will wash us down;
It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles,
And see the great Achilles, whom we knew.
Tho' much is taken, much abides; and tho'
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are,--
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

from "Ulysses" by Alfred Lord Tennyson

My favorite quote:

"All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible."

-T.E. Lawrence
Again, I don't know where that line is - it's a particularly sticky subject. Police should probably err on the side of letting people air their thoughts in the form they choose.

One would think that they should particularly err on that side if people are angry because they were just falsely accused of breaking into their own home.

I don't think anyone is defending hurling insults at random police officers. However, if you just invaded someone's home and treated them like a burglar in their own home, I think the police officer should realize that the cause of any angry behavior here is himself and just apologize and leave.
Article author hasn't read the proof yet, but explains what it means if it's correct.
I did that once and regretted it.
I think you're right.

I have neither myself. I use an old phone with a black and white screen that has a contact book and makes calls so I am blissfully not opinionated.

I like that there are different platforms taking different approaches. If Apple wants to approve apps and 'manage' the market, centrally plan away. If Google wants to direct an open system, go ahead. The approaches can compete, that way whatever works lasts and we might have several open or several closed platforms. If they both make it, it probably means they serve different markets. Also good.

At the end of the day, both are far from a monopoly that can dictate anything. Consumers are opting for the Apple system.

I guess eventually most phones will be 'smart' and as long as Apple don't make most of them, I'm not worried.
Why isn't Emacs open? :-p
"..organizing by physical proximity and geritocracy is no longer necessary.."

I just quit a job where I was working in Silicon Valley but most of the team was in Toronto. Other aspects of the project were outsourced to India, China, and Germany. For my new job, all developers sit on the same floor. Things works 10x better at my new job. I know that Linux and some open source projects have achieved geographic independence, but that doesn't mean it's easier enough for everyone to do it yet. I think there's a core of super dedicated people that keep geographically disparate projects alive and working well.

Most Emacs users love Emacs because of the amount of customization it offers, not because of the keybindings. In fact, I've never seen an Emacs user who hasn't customized his keybindings.

I don't get what you mean by "moving on". Just because people started writing Emacs 30 years ago does not mean the code is crufty and old. Both Emacs and Vim work well with all modern desktop environments on all major operating systems. I don't see why anyone should be "moving on".

You might love your IDE, but many people hate them. Some of us don't like bloated software with features we don't need or use.

I run lots of accounts and my experience is the same but more. Here in Australia, Google search seems to account for more then 10X Microsoft + Yahoo.

Yahoo (the number 2 at around 5%-10%) doesn't justify logging in to optimise. It also doesn't justify getting good at working with the platform to get the most out of it with less effort. The platforms are also just not as good as adwords. On top of that, the conversion rates seem to always be lower. I'm not sure if this is a reflection on Microhoo users or the ability of the system to optimise the ads themselves. It might even be that having less 'stock' (ads) to run, they are left with poorer choices and run my ads in less then optimal scenarios where google would see the low ctr and run some other ad.

It all ads up to Yahoo & Bing being ignored.

*Ideally, I would like to run everything from a central console that links to Google, yahoo & whatever else.
"The Last Question" is perhaps the best short story I have ever read. Thanks for the reminder to read it again.
Academics can patent their work jointly with their university, but they rarely do. They have very little incentive to do so: the gulf between what an academic produces and something that is widely useful is usually huge, and academics are not evaluated on patents. Most universities would probably prefer that professors and graduate students patent their work, since it's the university that's more likely to benefit. But professor and grad students rarely bother because, again, they have no incentive.

I brought up professor work habits because I felt your impression of their work burden is wrong. I also got the impression that your mistaken impression was feeding your contempt.

Let me put it this way: I am unaware of any academic who meets your description. All that I know and know of disseminate their work freely.

Someone else in the thread provides an excellent reasoning why such a low amount of energy is unlikely to make a difference.

I say it's an extraordinary claim because if it were true, it would imply fundamental changes in our understanding of how our bodies work, most people suffer no ill-effects, and I previously knew that double-blind studies could not corroborate the claims.

By definition, any claim that changes our understanding of anything is extraordinary, and it requires supporting evidence.

after I turned three in 1990

Way to make me feel really old. I was eight when I got my first C64, and it was when they were new on the market, so around 1982 or 1983. I ran a C64 BBS by the time I was twelve. In 1990 I had just bought my first Amiga.

But, I too enjoy having been a C64 kid, and take pride in the quirkiness of using one to this day.
I absolutely agree. I probably over-simplified for the sake of brevity.

The world isn't ready to move away from 9-to-5. But a whole lot of new workers are coming into the workforce that seek the alternative lifestyle described in the blog post. These workers will ultimately dominate the business world, and hence it will be reshaped.

In my mind, "obsolete" means that it is no longer growing. In this case, the growth of the traditional corporate mindset is stagnant and will inevitably die. Sorry for the miscommunication.
Is there any word on whether Yahoo Japan is involved in this? I know that Bing is running in Japan now, but Yahoo Japan has always been a very separate legal entity.
Port it to linux, and you'll be able to get hosting MUCH cheaper. If it's already php, and you use .NET just for image manipulation, it should not be hard to do.

First see if the built in php image functions http://php.net/manual/en/refs.utilspec.image.php are good enough (you have a choice of three libraries to pick from), and if not, then use the command line program imagemagick (probably the command 'convert').

You might even be able to install imagemagick on windows, so you don't have to switch your desktop to linux. Then get linux hosting and work out any porting issues.

Another thing to try is some of the personal plans - I've seen some that are just $4 per month. If everything is done internally in PHP you should have a pretty easy time using those. If you need to install extra programs it gets a bit harder.

You personal machine is fine for CPU, but not for network. An online hosting place will be good for network, but probably not much CPU.

I don't know how much CPU you need, but maybe, if you need a lot of CPU. and you can do stuff offline, write the program in two parts - an online section, and then use your machine to download, and process the images, then send them back up.
Ok, bad choice of words. I was simply asking for less of a statement and more of an explanation.

Is this set-up good enough ?

No. No project should be run out of your home. The idea has absolutely nothing to recommend it. It isn't adequate for a Wordpress blog, to say nothing of a web application your customers will be relying on.

Get yourself a VPS. They're absurdly cheap -- 3 months on Slicehost will run you $75. (I assumed you would want backups. If that was not in the cards, reevaluate your readiness to be trusted with anyone else's data.) If you have an iPhone, you have far more than $75 available if you apply yourself. If you absolutely, positively do not have $75, skip your next run out for pizza, get yourself shared hosting from GoDaddy (for about $4 a month last time I checked), and put up with the nuisances of shared hosting (which is still better than self hosting!) until you have revenue. Then, go to a VPS.

my latest inspiring quote. (I wish I could make it bold)

this quote is not from a book, not a website, not from a blog, but from a post right here on HN. (and quoted by the OP in another post):
http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=625644

I find quotes with a background/anecdote attached to it more inspiring. They inspire me on a whole different level...much much better than ones in "look before you leap" and the likes in the idiom based quotes league.

It's not energy that causes injuries, it's force. But force is much much more difficult to calculate. You need to know the area of the impact, and even harder is calculating how long the deceleration takes.

Energy is the integral of force times distance (uh, dot-product there: ∫F⃗·dx⃗, where x⃗ is position). The distance should be pretty easy to put bounds on: no substantial force was being applied to the spring until it made contact with the helmet, and after that it, and the helmet, and the driver, deformed until the energy of the impact was transferred into some form other than the kinetic energy of the spring moving into the helmet. That lets you put a lower bound on the force. (Of course it doesn't allow you to put an upper bound on it.)

Believe me, I grasp the idiocy and irony of owning a macbook & an iphone and not having $75 to spare. Life's like that sometimes.

With regard to the hosting, it has to be a VPS becuase I'm relying on openCV for some basic image recognition.

smart move for yahoo

sooner or later bing would overtake it, given its superior quality and msft's deep pockets. by selling new, bartz gets to bargain while ysearch is still worth something. two years from now after bing had eclipsed ysearch organically, she would have had little to bargain with

search was bound to become a two-horse race...the capital needed to compete is enormous, and it has been clear that yahoo won't be able to go the distance

expect 3k layoffs or more...besides the payouts from msft, the headcount reduction will be a major gain on the balance sheet for bartz

bartz will have to actually stop selling off and closing bits of yahoo and actually try growing something. that challenge still awaits her
Er...it's actually a quote from Johnnie Walker. You know, the booze? Their official tagline is "Keep walking" - but they use "Just keep walking" in many of their advertisements.

EX: "There's no elevator to success. You have to take the stairs. Just keep walking. - Johnnie Walker."

I first saw the quote "Just Keep Walking" in THIS specific context several years ago when Johnnie Walker published an in-magazine booklet targeted to entrepreneurs. I think it was in Fast Company or Business 2.0. Maybe both of them. I sent off and received a free t-shirt from them with that quote and their logo of a silhouetted man walking. The striding man. The booklet talked about persistence and determination, etc. It was called something like "Just keep walking: A handbook for entrepreneurs."

[P.S. - Sorry to ruin your story/anecdote.]
no, msft will be collecting all the click data as well. yahoo may have the chance to sell ads for search on the phone, but no one wants to do that anymore. when you go to fill out a webform to sell ads on bing, it will be a msft page being served

y! really is exiting search AND search marketing here
