These sound like useful improvements, especially the new getter/setter syntax and scalar type hinting. However, what I'd really like to see in next PHP would be the Composer dependency manager bundled in, a bit like Node.js nowadays ships w

agreed on those, and it should be noted that record labels do provide similar services to their artists. My post was more about how there is no way around these middlemen. So if you're doing the app equivalent of pop music (twitter apps,

From back in 2009: Nokia currently views the N900 and Maemo as "bridge" products mainly targeting developers and enthusiasts, but aims to develop Maemo into a mass market platform to compete with the iPhone OS, Android, and Windows Mobile,

You seem to think mass-market consumerism is the only kind of success. I assume you view Arduino and the Rasperry Pi also as utter failures? The Internet Tablets were not intended to that market (N9 was the first real mass-market device, th

I wrote about this in a recent blog post: "App Stores are the new record labels" As much of software is about disintermediation, of making the world run more smoothly through removal of middlemen, it is interesting that we software develop

Jolla is apparently basing their work on Mer, the community-managed mobile OS core that emerged from the ashes of MeeGo: http://merproject.org/ Mer apparently runs both Qt/QML and HTML5 happily, so I don't see why this has to be one or th

Very interesting. Would be fun to see how easily this could use VIE ( http://viejs.org/ ) or Data.js ( http://substance.io/michael/data-js ) as the data source.

Sometimes I also find it a bonus that you really can't do anything else on the device than read. Focus on the text with zero distractions...

Scary number of Finnish names in that list.

Given that many streets are full of cameras (CCTVs, mainly) that already record you, I don't see this as becoming a problem. Private homes or some businesses may be more of where the privacy discussion centers on

Consumer boycotts against companies abusing the patent system might be a very effective way to start. Suddenly companies might be interested in fixing the system in order to repair their tarnished reputations. Not that the idea of a boycott
