Yes. Completely agreed; companies need to treat customers as people . Treating customer like annoyances, metrics or just "something to be dealt with" helps lead to customers who call up or contact you immediately on the attack.

What ever happened to being simply polite, and thinking about people before you lash out? Hell; you should even be polite, and keep the tone civil if you hate the person at the receiving end. I think, to an extent, this is what's gone wrong

That's pretty awesome that the ruby community came together and put up the cash for this. I'm still lost/in the dark as to why no Ruby projects made it into the GSOC. Also, here is Charles Nutter's blog on this: http://blog.headius.com/201

To quote someone else in the thread later on: "Because no one ever held a book steady in their hand for more than 15-20 minutes without getting tired..." I will be very interested to hear real-world feedback about the usage patterns and erg

That's relatively close for why I'm buying one - I don't want a laptop replacement. I want something more portable that does "just enough" of what I need and want to do on the go.

And in that; nothing is blocking apps aimed at creators from the app store. Day one will see a new version of Pages and Keynote and at least one artist/painter/sketching application. The applications will make or break the device ultimately

I hadn't thought of it as a replacement to paper - that's actually pretty interesting a concept. Have you seen the show Caprica on Sci-Fi? They actually use thin sheets of "something" (looks like paper) as a computer - so maybe your thought

Later in that comment I pointed that out - content creators will be enabled by third-party add ons, and other companies building "competitors" which further enable creation. I don't think that there is anything blocking creation on it - j

Precisely. The point people need to realize is that having a well-executed, easy-to-use touch-based interface is the killer feature of the iPad. That "shiny user interface" is the point of it.
671.
by jnoller 17y ago
I think this is actually a fairly even-handed look at the potential (both positive and negative) of the iPad. Even if the iPad is simply the spark that kicks off the touch-tablet craze (iphone to nexus one anyone?) - it's still a significan

I thought I would share this with everyone - after last weeks discussions around various security topics in this vein, I thought it would be good to outline exactly what/how/why Nasuni supports data security-wise. For full disclosure; I am

Thank you, the "a more disciplined version of "compile it yourself" line exactly sums up my feelings. If I really wanted a fleshed out, mature package management system, honestly - I'd install Ubuntu or Fedora.

It can use /usr/local - and you can set it up so that /usr/local comes before the rest of your system as you need to. Yes, an entirely self-contained sandbox avoids this, but most of the time, I don't want that. Like I said in a previous

"brew install python" works (and I've used it). In fact, I have a small pile of additional recipes locally for just doing custom, well-controlled compiles of Python.

Frequently, when actually needing to compile other things (outside of macports), Macports would be pulled in "magically" and cause issues (such as gettext and Python-core). Frequent issues debugging strange issues when trying to port instal

I can't recommend homebrew enough - I've been burned by macports and fink in the past, and so I had reverted to the time tested "just compile stuff by hand". Homebrew strikes a good balance between the raw, do it yourself approach and somet

Thank you; you're probably right. Some part of me thinks it would still harm the case. I need to go find a lawyer.

"The sad part is it maybe too late for them to reverse course." I think you're correct. Now the cards are on the table - I have a feeling if they were to withdraw this, it would hurt the countersuit against Nokia - who could then point at A

I have to admit; I find myself agreeing vehemently with Gruber, PG and everyone else Gruber cited. Patents are typically defense weaponry. Your attack weapons are moving fast, innovating and implementing something. Software patents are

The download/appliance is a VMware image (ergo, a virtual appliance). This means you must have a VMware server somewhere on your LAN.

I also wanted to take a moment and let those who might be looking for a job in the Boston area know that we are hiring: http://www.nasuni.com/sub/jobs/

This is a question better asked on our forums here: https://www.nasuni.com/forum/ where the entire engineering team can comment as needed.

by jnoller 17y ago
This is a good idea - I would recommend you email it to feedback@nasuni.com as well as any other features or ideas you have. That way the entire team can take a chance to discuss it and respond and save it.

by jnoller 17y ago
For this type of question, I would actually ask you send feedback/questions like this to feedback@nasuni.com, where the team can look at it and comment. Alternatively, you can also call us directly at 508-651-0580

In the case of Nasuni and the Filer product; we have thought about this. All data is encrypted using your encryption keys, before being stored in the cloud. You're perfectly right to be concerned though. Storing your data in the cloud, in

I believe the features speak for themselves. End-to-end encryption, versioning/snapshots (no more backups), the ability to talk to $N cloud providers rather than a single one, simple to use and unified management for an entire company to us
