Quoting ... "Let's give Apple millions," seems to be the attitude. Like handing a bully reigns of the school yard. Not great for the valley and technology, it seems.

Ha! I chuckled at a Microsoft Research minion citing a Google completion as evidence that Nigeria is a synonym with scams: "“Nigerian Scam” is one of five suggested auto-completes in a Google search for “Nigeria”"

Oh, and BTW, there is also Greyhole, which we integrated in Amahi. It makes a large redundant store out of a JBOD, with replication on multiple selectable spindles, etc. etc. http://greyhole.net

I'm biased (I started Amahi), but try the Amahi server http://www.amahi.org We looked into using ZFS, as there has been some demand for it, but all the licensing and the people around it were hard to deal with (non-responsive, to be preci

First-hand experience here: Trinet is the worst of the worst, managing to slim down the HR experience to the absolute bare shittiest minimum. It's degrading to talk to their reps. A disaster.

Tangencially related to some of the comments in this thread. Amahi (my startup) started experiencing lots of spamming accounts a little while ago. We started using blacklists and some heuristics to detect the spammers. Then we logged the at

How about making it easier to get the sources of the packages (for Linux) so that things are easy to test locally? Last time I checked (admittedly a little while ago), one had to do API calls through some convoluted way. I was tempted to sc

Or go through a redirection page for most of the top Google search results. Just a matter of time before that starts to be further tweaked.

I noticed before that some times the Safari in iOS (5.1) will send OPTIONS requests. In Rails, the router will simply route them, so they are definitely easy to use, however, the issue is that most apps will handle them as GETs, so it may b

Theoretical, fun, exercise for the reader: How much would it cost in AWS fees to index the same amount as Google and make it available to search? The answer is in two parts: 1) "fixed" cost to upload the data (say in one shot) and 2) the ho

So sad to hear! This dates me I had to get my C64 from a trucker who went on a rare trip to the UK (I lived in a rural area of Spain). I went into software thanks to a C64.

We were bit this one ... supposedly http://colo4.com is a really good colo ... but then it happened. Nearly 12 hour downtime. Search twitter for #colo4 for the backlash. Any good VPS recommendations? (aside from AWS)

OK, it seems like it may have been an oversight (as in, not to hide anything or subvert someone else). The (over-)reaction by RMS may be a bit too harsh, when a simple README or something might suffice. Every church has to have its pope, th

Noone has commented this yet. What are the chances this is all in some way a PR play (possibly gone bad) to get on the news during a round of funding? (The "there's no such things as bad publicity" kind) Not saying it is .. but I do wonder.

We got a C&D letter for App Store too. These guys at GetJar confuse the mark with the activity. And yes, there is something offputting about their response. We took a different spin - an HTML5 parody videogame[1] and a name-the-store co
