The 'advice to manufacturers' list, seems to me the equivalent of 'be more like Apple': * Don’t launch a buzzword feature until it’s more than just a buzzword. * Don’t launch a product with obvious problems, even if you plan on fixing them

Until they add Java support they shouldn't even be using the Eclipse name. I know Eclipse supports other languages, but essentially Eclipse is the biggest Java IDE so announcing this web editor but avoiding Java support feels like they just

Just wondering -- how many of the solutions discussed here are available in the EU?

True, but it still might be worth it due to the market size. I guess after a point the AppStore becomes expensive and it might be worth it to sell your own stuff and keep the 30%. But $99 is a really low barrier to entry for non-US individu

I'm not talking about the App Store from a marketing point of view. I'm talking about the App Store as a world-wide, easy to use credit card processor. It is non-trivial (technically, legally) to implement credit card handlind yourself, esp

Heh, there was a comment the other day asking "what could you do on Mac that you can't do on Windows" and I wanted to reply: "well you could get an $99 dev account and have apple sell your stuff world wide". I guess Windows is getting an Ap

Why wouldn't Amazon choose to implement one of those 'low hanging fruit' kind of features? They seem the most logical to approach first.

I don't allow cookies from most sites so your solution won't work for me. What I don't understand is why it doesn't seem to work for a given open page. I can understand needing to read that cookie if I will load the page again in the future

What are you trying to say with this question? Are most major companies something that have a repeatable business model or are they a combination of being in the right place at the right time, with very good execution? Would you want for yo

I think I've stumbled upon that EFF link at some point, but I didn't study it very much. The CA graph they list there is nice, but it doesn't say much since many of the CAs there don't actually sell to consumers certificates, no? Looking at

The whole online presence might be something that some regard as private since reading a given URL might be as private as a forum password or card info. But 'either you care or you don't' seems too inflexible to me. For example, I might car

Well, the yearly charge isn't such an issue, but I cringe knowing I could pay a small server for an year of uptime with the money I pay for an SSL cert, which is essentially an official stamp of a member of the CA oligarchy. I mostly do con

'The web' isn't using HTTPS since SSL is a nice yearly 'tax' on the domain owner. It seems to me we have a nice centralized monopoly here with the existing Certificate Authorities (most US-centric) for something as decentralized as the inte

Maybe I have a hard time understanding this, but the whole discussion was how Amazon undercuts their competitors and runs the business with a small loss because they are looking at the long-term game. Saying that Amazon sells you customer s

Doesn't this contradict your previous comment? How exactly do they "undercut everyone and go for long-term market share domination"? I actually think AWS is profitable and while they might not have recuperated their initial datacenter inv

I keep hearing this but when you compare the same machine you get on Slicehost or linode with the Amazon prices, Amazon ends up being the most expensive. I use Amazon because of it's convenience and brand name, but I've always seen it as ha

This actually is a socialist suggestion. I do not like government handouts. What I would support is tax credit: if you feel like doing a startup, under some rules, the government could give you a $100k tax credit. Giving away $100k for pe

No. Last I looked their Java editor meant only a syntax highlighter. Without code completion and code folding it's not there yet.

What you've said about using staging and production servers and never pushing directly to the production server is valid. Of course an online IDE doesn't mean editing code on the production server! You would still need to run a deploy towar

Explaining the value of this is hard and I guess it boils down to the convenience of accessing everything via an URL. Of course everything you have in a browser may be done by applications talking to some server. I'm basically hoping that a

What I've found is that I'm rarely offline when I'm working. Regarding hackers, I guess the risk is about as much as having production servers online or using EC2 and github.

Well, this is just a prototype I did for the video. Ideally it would be near-instant. The first time took a lot due to the cold boot, you might notice the next files open quite fast.
