As a user this makes me wonder how long it will be before I have to sign up for Google+ in order to watch youtube videos at all? Or to search?

OOO, so in your future I get to choose between having ads on all my apps or renting my own data.

Why are we happy? We are not. Terminal emulation needs to die, but as you point out, there is no reasonable substitute yet. I have enjoyed toying with interesting experiments like the MPW shell, and I support every attempt to replace or kil

It's the "baby bust", as mentioned in the article. I'm exactly in the middle of it - 1971. Bought my house at the high point of the internet bubble in 1999.

2 is too young to be doing it regularly, but once in a while is fine. It's the passivity, the two-dimensionality, setting them up with a need for constant entertainment. Also, let's not pretend it's ok because it's educational. Everything i

I used one called Genie Pascal in 1988, out of CMU, on the Mac Plus. They did lots of work on supporting various languages. http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~pane/ile.html

Consistency between gestures and the mouse is a terrible goal, absolutely terrible because they're so different. The pinch to zoom and swipe to scroll works well on iOS devices but it is horrible on track pads because of the presence of a c

well there was the Scarlet at one time, a prosumer camera from Red. Look it up, I've been out of that area for a while.

Well, on my two startups I got nothing, twice.

I could have written your exact comment ten years ago. We should hang out, so to speak.

Yeah, see, Mac keyboard equivalents actually predate most other OSes. So no, they're not going to change to accomodate the newcomers. option- shift- and command- arrows have been there since the 80s. Not going to change because Windows deci

And yet it is also fashionable to say ideas are worthless. so yeah, here's my great idea.

In my experience, Prompt is much better app for straightforward terminal use than iSSH. It handles meta keys very well includig the hardware ESC key on the wireless keyboard that iSSH could not, last time I tried it.

It's almost impossible if you need to do anything related to graphics. Even picking a color. Maybe you have such things already laid out in proper sass files, and you've mastered zen-coding, know most of the various parameters, have templat

This is the same as the old saying about teaching someone to fish versus given them a fish. To steal is to make it your own, to so thoroughly understand it that you can move it forward as if it was always yours. To copy is to simply have it

I agree, but the devil is in those details. Look at the variations among actual humans.

Worse, there are about to be seven billion brains on the planet. Not merely one.. and human brains aren't so great in isolation.

I'm sure you're still storing all of that data, whether we opt-in or not. Because why throw away such valuable data? And that means it will be made public some day, by accident or by design.

Oh that wasn't it. Some angry dude ranted about OpenDoc versus Java and said to Jobs: you don't know what you're talking about. Steve was quiet for a bit, mentioned some of the time you can't please some people, then talked about how Apple

Apple is saying: you may not innovate on our ridiculously innovative platform. We will hold the tantalizing promise of this star trek device just beyond your reach.

You got it, and I wonder why nobody mentioned this before. That was my first reaction, too.
