The innovator is also losing money here. What happens when innovator dies because of loses and we only have copycat left? You have people using Windows XP till 2012 (and that is despite innovator coming back to industry).

If a company is making a product which people switch every two years, and if a competitor is shamelessly ripping off features, it is extremely insulting and awfully naive for them not to seek legal measures. Imagine if people switched socia

Freedom from US-east. Heroku, afaik, only have instances in US-east. Also, it's way less expensive than Heroku.

It's not unconscious. Win 8 first run has a separate step just about DNT. It is very much opt-in. The DNT step is ridiculously huge part (it's own screen and everything) of running Windows 8 for the first time. It's not a typical 'keep hitt

If one cannot answer this question themselves, it's most certainly closed for them.

Google now has five boxes hooked up in living rooms of Google fans. They amplified the problem they should be solving. Seriously, a Logitech Google TV, a Nexus Q and 3 boxes for Google fiber. Edit: They also managed a pointless keyboard wit

This probably won't happen in OSX, I think. What Apple may do is stop developing MacOS altogether and make a variant of iOS for desktop after OSX (or simply rebrand). And I don't think this would be a total shock for the users by the time.

One obvious way to handle this on private folders is client side encryption. Companies need to be protected, and users need privacy. This seems win-win. If an agency need to look in private folder, they must go through user - and that would

I hope they really do an awesome job on implementing this. Nobody wants another OpenID or Diaspora (not that they were bad projects, but it just shows how disconnected hackers can be from masses). I would hate this thing to end up as a hack

Following that logic, you would conclude that if Apple disappeared in 1997, we would be exactly at same place of progress?

I did not imply that Instagram (or any similar product) is like a pyramid. All I said that if it is a step towards building one, there is no way to know this, yet. Things that ultimately become useful are most of times never conceived in a

For people who agree that Instagram, for example, is a small idea. I am going to leave you with an excerpt from a Hal Abelson lecture: "Now, the reason that we think computer science is about computers is pretty much the same reason that th

If you were a designer, you would claim Dribbble instead of Github. Either way, you would be delusional. Social is just a useful paradigm on the web. More and more products would use it as default. Just like every site now has a search box.

Innovation comes more from impatient people, not lazy people. There is very wide gap between impatient and the lazy. The guy who invented multiplication wasn't lazy (as mentioned in the article, or else he won't do work for invention, which

We were using App Engine in 2010 for the image delivery part of our product. We had troubles scaling and one of their engineers e-mailed me personally, asked me for my code (if I am comfortable with it, of course), and helped me fix a coupl

Although I disagree with the comment, why is this comment downvoted? Aren't people allowed to voice opinions anymore? Specially when those opinions are shared with some post-IPO companies?

The software mentioned in the article already gives you that level of control, with use of exceptions. But this is just as much control as my fridge gives me with the temperature control dial. What FSF is debating is "fundamental" and full

I cannot agree with you. A user, on a given day, interacts with countless interfaces, not all of those interfaces have to do with technology. If you give everyone 100% control over every interface - this will drive the world crazy. How much

That's signature style of a lot of great, obsessive reviewers. Connecting to what a particular product ultimately "means" to you is something that differentiates reviews from spec-sheets. This reminds me of Jeremy Clarkson on Porsche Boxste
