Not sure how much I agree. There seems to be an intermediate step in your reasoning that goes something like: "FOSS fixes everything". Sometimes it's true, sometimes it isn't. Why would Apple spend a lot of money and man-hours to port Flash

Yeah, and if it were not to happen they'll write: "Here is how Foursquare resisted the Facebook juggernaut", and there extra profit. grin You can't even think they are naive: that a small company has beaten a larger one seem to happen qui

Isn't IE 9 going to come with full SVG support? Or did I dream that? Anyway my point was only that SVG will solve this problem soon (say a year or so).

I would imagine (or at least I hope) that Oracle was fully aware when they bought Sun that their company philosophy was going to clash with Sun's and they would have lost a lot of bright people. It's a pity, but I don't think it came as a s

To be honest it's not like Asus was doing so great before the netbook. I am happy for them 'cause it shows that there is a reward out there for PC makers that try to innovate (ASUS went up in market share a lot), but I think that expecting

Isn't that just an ultra-portable PC, rather than a netbook? I thought the whole point of a netbook is that it was very cheap but underpowered (though more than enough for the internet, hence its name).

I agree with the author wholeheartedly. I always assumed these were experimental of the "just 'cause I can" type. Trying to show off how far CSS can go, but not really in a realistic usage. I read here though that people believe this is a u

But I didn't say ICANN would set the prices, I said it would auction them. Not sure I understand how your point applies.

It would be very difficult to check though: a bit too easy for people to find loopholes or cheat somehow.

Dunno... of the top of my head: no need for much local storage, no need for much GPU power (I don't think that's the market they are aiming it at), and stuff like that. But it's just a guess.

It also could go to subsidies the free (or cheap) extensions. For example: .com could cost 15$ instead of 7$, but .net could go from 7$ to 3$ or even less. Yes, you would end up with Internet ghettos, and "high-street" areas, but given it's

Why not? You could also auction being the registry for .com domains: if it's worth so much they will spend more money, which the ICANN can use to subsidised as needed. As an example look at the auctions for the mobile phone frequency licenc

Maybe it's a different about inside the USA vs. outside of it, but I don't feel everything ends with .com: a lot, yes, but not a massive absolute majority. I think it would be nice to have different prices according to what they are _suppos

In hindsight I agree. But back in those days: a) most people didn't believe that, and b) the Linux community was developing distributions for tablets. And anyway the famous (in those days) techcrunch's tablet was not going to use any PC OS.

He also starts by saying it is a rant... Personally I don't see why nowadays people can't give an opinion without turning it into a scientific like paper. He is very honest about what he was going to write... and maybe he wrote a comment on

Pretty much agree completely. To add a few more details, it wasn't until 1.9.1 was out that "normal" people really started to look at it. There were quite a few changes that took time to be properly absorbed by the community (e.g. Internati

Two things to say here. First: I am sorry for the author, and I sympathise with him. It's that the techy world (and not only that one) likes dichotomies a lot more: good/evil, USA/Russia, Apple/Microsoft, iOS/Android, etc... Sad but true. A

Wow! That's a pretty bias view! If you remember there were a lot of rumours of the iPad coming out. In part it was because of a lot of people, including many Wall Street guys, felt Apple HAD to compete with the netbook-mania by releasing th

Finally! Once it percolates down to Safari and Chrome, I hope to see a real adoption of MathML in the academic community (which tends to use IE less, while having a stronger demand for MathML).

With 1.9.2 coming out, and Rails 3 too, the last pieces are in place for the Ruby community to move to Ruby1.9 for good. The last year we had a lot of "choice" due to the transitional period we were in. Hopefully by the end of the year that

Eh??? By that account everyone should be able to pay off all their debts. It's not enough to have a "renewable" source of income (such as tourism, moderate farming/fishing, solar energy, etc...). Everyone, including countries, also have bil

Why is it "about time"? You make it sound like Vimeo is years behind the pack, but in fact---if my understanding is correct---they are at the front, at least in regards to other big video hosting such as Youtube.

They do have an incentive... but an incentive to make developers use ads-subsiadised apps. Maybe that was their main strategy all along, and they told the carriers they could keep any money made on the store to get some traction (and to avo

Once you've got that much money, and therefore don't need to make a choice, this kind of information becomes a lot less useful. It would be like wondering which car a top class football player drives, or which flight tickets the USA preside

While I have no reason to doubt the good intentions of Eric Schmidt, I think this makes a lot more sense from Google's point of view, rather than the consumer's point of view. Being able to suggest things you may like is in a way at the cor
