It would be interesting for this to get some exposure from a large web-service. Being realistic, Facebook nor Google would be interested in replacing their own system. But I think it is an interesting idea which now is no longer just theory

I really want to know how these "non-geeks" are going to get a chance to like Unity. I'm all for bringing Linux closer to people, and looking at the work that Android has done, it clarifies that with a correct marketing and technical drive,

I know that a lot of people state Isaacson's lack of knowledge in the technical area as a failing but I must disagree fully with the fact that the book is anything but a revelation. For weeks afterwards, Hacker News and pretty much every ot

Things like this often give me pause for thought. Often this community, and indeed myself, drive myself to attain better results, and generally push towards a wealthy career, so often we can forget what is truly important. I'm a religious p

Steve Jobs Biography - Walter Isaacson I'm surprised at how good a read this is, it is anything but a hero worship style book. Its long for a biography but Steve's life is a very interesting one, and am yet to be bored with it.

I know the ultrabook project is taking a lot of flak in a lot of area, but the idea excites me. A lot of people would argue that cloning is not the way to go, and even in the article the writer states that its a pity asus didn't try to do s

Sorry, my wording was incorrect. I should not have used the word impossible, thank you for the resources you have provided, my point was more that with the standard gui, it makes things easier in a pick up and play way but any sustained tim

As someone who spends almost all day either in vim/commandline mode or web browsing, I want to make the point about the unix pipe point, and that with gui's this is impossible. Its not even the fact that it would require a lot more effort t

Can I ask why you don't want to write anything in javascript, used in the right way, it is a very powerful and expressive language, plus with technologies like coffeescript, you can write Javascript (the good parts) in a clean and neat form

For anyone who is wondering, for Android phones (not sure about iOS) there is an app called andchat which handles IRC extremely well, definitely worth checking out. It handles IRC in a very native environment.

I agree with this, and have seen a massive amount of similar comments on this topic. It seems like a rather niche area which could easily be exploited, to complement a live stream, It would be nice to have a live code display as well. Somet

This is a brilliant feature, and as close an example of cloud editing that I would consider using as any on the internet. Does anyone know is there anything to give this a modular editor feel like vim? If someone can deliver me an online ex

Surely a boring business is only good, if the actual area is of interest to you. A boring business will surely not keep you working as late or as hard, a boring business will not stay in your thoughts all day, or jump into your mind when yo

I too am doing research work using the google maps api (and their very good Google Distance API) and find there to be no real advantage in this one, or any feature that I don't see in the Google API, the maps api has been wonderful to work

Although I appreciate the clean design, I find it blinding, I'm going to use it for a few days and see how I get on but for now, the plethora of white space seems to hurt my eyes!

What I would like is the circles feature to encompass this, so that you would have the equivalent of Twitter wide spread for instance a circle on Node-JS, a music circle which I share with friends as previously mentioned and another wider c

I hope the idea of circles catches on, and that they are very expendable, I would like to have for instance a Circle called Music where I could add those friends which I share music with and that it would become a central hub which we could

Can't watch the launch demo because I don't have silverlight! Not what I hoped for as the SDK, but as others have said I think its their most innovative product and what may in the end crack open an area for them to innovate in.
