   So one needs a computer with iTunes installed to update an iOS device? It doesn't do it over the air? Also, the "update shit show" reference was toward the software that was updated, not the update process itself, regardless

   Silent Circle released the Blackphone it developed off a fork of Android. This policy has allowed for bloatware, yes, but it also allows for innovators to innovate unimpeded. I have the choice to buy a phone without bloatware and I did. I d

   Google doesn't cause bloatware, Carriers and Handset makers do. One of the many consequences of OSS, people can fork and bloat to their heart's content. Also, I haven't had one issue with software updates on my Nexus 5 (which

   Hacker news will ruin me. I've checked HN three times since sitting down 45 minutes ago. I don't even have a file open yet, I am literally staring at my home folder on my right monitor. My HN addiction has literally caused me to t

   Paying for jQ bandwidth is like paying for air, seriously. With jQ, you're most likely defining the version you need, so getting upstream improvements with jQ is a bit more involved than the library simply updating itself if you aren&#

   Watch out for the whole double taxation issue. You will need to pay taxes to the US (there's a certain income threshold if I remember correctly, but you'd likely surpass it). If you wind up taking permanent residency, you may need

    It looks like this is purely for personal use. Is there any sort of collaboration or cross-device syncing available or in the roadmap? Or is this intended to be more-or-less silo'd per machine?

    As someone who seems to have a lot of insight into this, to the best of your knowledge, could you speak to what factors would most heavily influence this decision (in the context of being made by a founder in Seattle)? Was MS never even in

    Thanks, I think my initial comment was a bit misguided and the feedback here has definitely made me reconsider my preconceptions. However, it should be noted that Macs make for amazing Windows machines.

    You are probably correct in that the trend has changed. My feeling is that it may be that the companies we do business with are a bit more established and they may still be subject to the decisions made during a trend-phase that doesn'

    Yea, my specific instances may be speaking to too narrow of a sampling of Seattle Start-up scene, and it may be that the vendors we do business with are a bit more mature than what is featured here. Mainly, I was wondering if there is any s

    From my experience, working with any vendors from the pacific northwest, they're all MS shops. Is this trend changing considering the added expense of working with any MS Licensed software (where an OSS solution with little or no cost

    I actually just noticed the menu scaling feature (new in 14.04) over the weekend. And it is "multi-monitor" in scope as it can be defined per monitor as opposed to globally. I doubt that feature was approached with a "This be
