> anyone actually tied to OS X as a server platform? Yes, if you make software that runs on OS X (or iOS and you want to test on iOS Simulators) you need OS X machines for your build and test process. You need lots of machines so you an

Yes, at the moment, it's iPhone and iPad simulators. However, offering testing on real devices, too, is a high priority for us.

Hi, author of that blog post here. I meant to follow up with a more detailed tutorial on how to specifically spin up a Mac VM using those patches. Sorry I haven't done that yet. :-(

Very thrilled about this! As a Tindie seller [1], I've had an excellent experience so far. Congrats, emile! I put this in an email to Emile earlier, but would like to say it here, too... I think Tindie is perfect for people like me. I don

Defied, glad you got it working stable. Did you contribute your fixes back to the Selenium project?

I know Intuit is doing cool things with mobile testing. I'll be sure to check out IMAT! :-)

Yup, simulators do have quirks. So just in case, that's why I built this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABiTxApuLLU

Yesterday's announcement was about mobile web testing. Of course, native app testing is important, too, and high on our radar. In the native app space, automated testing tools are not as mature as they are for the web. For iOS native app te

The lack of an on-board microphone could/should do that, too. :-) Pictures are a great, but a full-30fps video (with audio!) would greatly enhance our feeling of what it's like to be on the surface there.

Someone could (and should!) take the webrtc c++ libraries and use those to create their own native client app -- which would not be dependent on the Chrome browser.

I agree we're overdue for a Skype killer. The technology that's going to power it is called "WebRTC". http://www.webrtc.org/ http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/webrtc/basics/ Watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8C8ou

"a sort of machine vision thing" -- You could use Sikuli or SimpleCV. I'm using OpenCV in my video game playing robot to find elements on the screen. (Of course, it's a bit of a Frankenstein to create and run.) At least it's good to know it

Thanks, Jacob. :-) Follow-up question: Do you do monitoring in production? Does it have the same issues in that it tells you that /something/ is broken, but doesn't tell you what's broken?

The only thing not mentioned is the variability of time scale. Sometimes the idea process can take years. For example, it took Bret Victor 10 years to find his ideas about UIs. ( https://vimeo.com/36579366 ) For truly world-changing ideas

What would it take? The biggest thing I need is knowing there's a market, how big the market is, and who to market to -- classic customer development activities. Right now, I know my actuators meet my needs for the stuff I'm building, but n

Well, that's been true, but there's hope. I'm a robot hobbyist and I need lots of linear actuators (like dozens or hundreds) for a project I'm working on. I can't believe how expensive they can be (between $50 and $150 a piece). So, I've fi

I've talked with Noah Sussman several times about selling indie electronics/hardware projects* on Etsy. He says: "Yes, game on!" (I'm paraphrasing.) He's a cool guy to know, regardless. http://twitter.com/noahsussman And if you want to go
