Your point that entry into the Apple ecosystem isn't that difficult would be correct when they first opened up the app store, which simplified how app development for phones was done. But today, they seem to have the most friction com

That's pretty funny, because Microsoft has been actively courting Apple devs. They've had special events featuring Apple devs and companies associated with Apple, making the case for developing on the Windows 8 platform. Includi

It's #1 in the market it cares about, which is "people who spend money". And that doesn't appear to be changing anytime soon. That sounds like hubris and arrogance to me. Are you so sure that won't be changing anyt

Not for long if their market share keeps slipping. Alienating developers doesn't help the situation.

That could be a lo-o-ong wait. Your post makes it sound like the $250 deal was typical. Which it is not in my experience, or in reality.

I would love to get a deal like that. I just looked on craigslist, and can't find any 27" iMacs with an i5 for less than $950. In fact, I can't find anything for $250 that wasn't a piece of junk. In fact, if I could g

Interesting how Slash is declining while HN seems to have hit a plateau. I wonder if that means there's another site on the ascendency out there somewhere.

I guess it's not surprising that Sherlock Holmes couldn't pull a Mickey Mouse. The AC Doyle estate should've greased the wheels of commerce with some major dollars.

Intel graphics has always lagged behind Nvidia and ATI in terms of performance and efficiency for the longest time,despite having a large budget. One of the reasons that the Intel graphics has been able to make spectacular gains in performa

I wonder if this is competitive with the Intel graphics on their cpus. Intel gpus are not exactly stellar.

In this case, I think it shows that technology (Amazon's distribution network) is playing a large role in how business works nowadays.

I like how she presents important info in easy to digest graphs. One thing that I find interesting and provocative is slide 11, where she lumps mobile devices (phones,tablets,mp3 devices,cameras,appliances) into a new category of "com

I think he left out the fact that not all browsers in use are standards compliant, each browser handles javascript differently, and the html5 standard keeps changing which affects the javascript that you write. That seems to be a large fac

Good article. Author takes on what so often turns out to be a overly simplistic and poorly thought out "white paper" put out by these research firms. Glad to see someone respond with more insightful points.

I am just amazed at all of the new cross platform toolkits and frameworks popping up nowadays. Seems to rival the number of new javascript libraries. The attempt to bring cross platform development to mobile is reaching a fever pitch. So

Very interesting. I would love it if the Iranians open-sourced the drone that they captured. :-)

I think it depends on what you're interested in. The south bay (Santa Clara, Mountain View, San Jose) has a lot of hardware companies as well as some of the larger software companies (Google, Facebook, Linkedin). Palo Alto has a lot

I had no idea that Ubuntu made firefox an integral part of Ubuntu and that you couldn't remove it. Or other browsers wouldn't run as well as firefox on ubuntu. Geez, maybe Ubuntu really is like Microsoft! Huh, thanks for that.
