I agree. My point is simply that this is strong evidence that Google's 'one size fits all' approach leaves room for other entrants.

Nice. If nothing else this proves that there is unmet demand in search.

Where would you put your money instead?

Fair enough. I guess the trade off is against having a massive visual change every time you tap shift that could draw your eye away from the cursor position in the middle of typing.

Not being able to update may well have limited you from getting battery related bug-fixes, and jailbreaking is notorious for allowing power-inefficient mods or apps to run - indeed that's the reason many people choose to do it. I guess my p

I fail to understand why some programmers don't like to see other programmers get paid directly for their efforts. If open source work is not paid for directly, it is paid for by corporations. Even when people do work in their 'spare time',

"I myself struggle with the concept of asking $25k to build what he wants to build." Are you of the opinion that people should only be paid to do things that they don't want to do?

As of iOS5, free and paid versions of apps (or any apps by the same developer) can share data, so the issue of losing data when upgrading has been solved. There is also no reason the developer can't link to the paid version direct from the

This is simply false. The iPhone 3GS shipped in June 2009 with iOS 3, and has continued to receive every update between then and now. There have been literally hundreds of new features added in that time, as well as a series of whole new bu

How much of your bad experience was caused by 'Apple' and how much was because you jailbroke your device?

What do you mean by 'all caps all the time'?

I wonder whether this is simply because if you are #1 for a search, adding a paid ad roughly doubles the number of high profile links that lead to your site.

I don't see how your comment or Sarbanes Oxley is relevant to what I said. I didn't suggest more regulation or anything to 'comply' with. I was suggesting an alternative theory of corporate responsibility, and a remedy that the courts coul

I wonder whether we need a different presumption of executive responsibility in these cases. Plausible deniability seems way too weak a defense to permit, since it allows executives to set up a culture and incentives to encourage wrongdoin

This is why we need sandboxing on the mac. I wonder whether there are particular barriers for Microsoft to add that sooner rather than later?

I'm not sure that's surreal. Interfering with this child's ability to develop communication is genuinely going to impair her ability to function as a citizen. That's why this case is interesting - it shows that patents have adverse effects

Fair enough, but since it's by no means universal, leaving this unstated is tantamount to a straw man.

what irony and what hubris are you referring to?

My guess would be that adequate sealing for such a unit would be very hard to achieve, and that mechanical wear and tear would make it hard to maintain without access to the hot zones.

I think the authors argument is not that Scrum isn't better than many other approaches, just that it may have the downside of limiting further process development when teams are healthy.

If they weren't able to adjust their rules to become effective before they adopted scrum, why should they be able to do so afterwards?

This argument seems to only work if you make the arbitrary assumption that philosophy and science are completely separate domains.

GMail was loved by the tech crowd immediately, but took years to make a dent in the established bases of yahoo and hotmail. Much as I have distaste for Google+, the strategy needs to be viewed on a longer timescale. Even search took years

"Google+ is not Facebook, and it's just getting started -- At this point, I don't see how anyone outside of Google could think they have a strong enough grasp on what's in store to come to these conclusions." You can say that about any prod

There are several differences. Firstly it's only triggered when you pull past a certain threshold, and secondly it refreshes all new items - not just the ones that cover the uncovered scroll region. It's also cancellable before you reach

"Google has responded to the man's complaints by saying that since the results are compiled automatically there is no intrusion of privacy" It's hard to see how this case is about privacy - it seems like it's really about defamation, howeve

No - tests define the objectives - they serve as an operational definition. The rest is just description and explanation. The second two sentences have nothing to do with anything I said.

by rbarooah 15y ago
Tests are the only thing defining the objectives . They may not reflect the intended goals, but passing the test is the only objective, and that is why standardized tests can undermine education.

As pointed out in the article, they warned us about this more than 6 months ago. Changing up the timetable isn't great, but there's not much reason for people to be 'scrambling' to figure out what to do.
