The third-party app issue is not as big a problem if you use Android. You are able to share pretty much anything with the Google+ app, it's just not automatic. And given how the first few weeks of "frictionless sharing" was, I'm kinda glad

"The second is that they can claim to have introduced a candidate to you and can try to sue. Often a company will just roll over especially if it turns out to be a good candidate." It depends on the market. I have known companies to say out

I have had a similar more modest luck vector. The blogging got me selected for Google Summer of Code and opened doors for conferences, which lead to a book for Pearson. Rather cyclic not that I think about it.

No, it's not really that similar. It's gamesmanship from Apple. People have thought my really chunky viewsonic g-tablet was an ipad: http://www.viewsonic.com/gtablet/ and it is no where close.

I agree. Never have been outcast from the tech community. Actually the opposite. People reached to me about possible leads. If you network properly when you have a job (and otherwise don't need something from people), usually they are willi

Using tablets means that the equipment is easier to upgrade/replace. With integrated systems like VirginAmerica's Red, the whole plane would have to be re-outfited. Do you really want another store to buy stuff? These tablets will have a wa

I've had the exact opposite experience with single-track conferences. There was little "just right" content. Either it was too basic, too advanced, or great but lacked the time to properly dive in. As a speaker, though a single track would

Douglas Crockford's keynote was awesome. It's up on InfoQ I believe.

Don't we see one of these posts every year? Just like "Year of Linux on the desktop."

It'll forever be tainted because the other guy launched the product first. The OP will look like a copycat at best or just like he feels his former business partner is in the worst case. We saw how it worked out with the Winklevi, the other
