If this is aimed at the big products like WP7 and Android, then Apple better think it through carefully. During the Cuban Missile Crisis, JFK famously said: any missile attack from Cuba would be considered an attack from Soviet

This reminds me of engineers trying to work around patents. I spoke to a guy who manufactures flexible guide posts which can flex in any 360 direction. He has a patent on it, and the flexible part is cylindrical. He said competitors work ar

Exactly. If one were to apply principles of Tao, it would be to yield. Give the stick pusher nothing to push.

Microsoft can no longer command high prices for its tablet OS because it lacks incumbency and vertical integration. The net result is her competitors are driving MS towards a cliff of zero or low margin OS and inexpensive apps. If you look

golvin, I couldn't have said it better. Thanks. The level of mistrust in government is incredible but Malaysians are nobody's fools and they've sadly seen rent-seeking too many times. ps. no higher ed means no qualifications which means no

The plane tried to physically force the controls to nose down, I'm glad you mentioned that. I thought that's what a plane should do at first, and then on second consideration wondered if the psychology of panicking pilots

As someone who lived in Malaysia, you have to understand the political climate there. University places are allocated based on racial quotas. Therefore, the people who are most concerned by this legislation are ethnic Chinese, who are more

Yes, a message flood is also a failure of UX. At my place of work, when a flood of errors occur, we throttle and batch the errors so that the admin doesn't get thousands of emails. Given that user interfaces on airplanes are digital now, th

There's actually a tendency to reduce the number of different alarms and use screen information to indicate the problem Yes, that'd be good UX. There should be only one actionable task presented at any time to correct errors

I read the article, and while it is easy to see where he is coming from, I remembered the WTF the first time I encountered web programming more than a decade ago. The idea of GET vs POST didn't make any sense at all to a person who wanted t

The state of UX design has advanced so much, perhaps we need more UX testing so that even pilots who are unfamiliar with a plane could figure out what to do. Amazon probably does more with figuring how to help users checkout their shopping

It is a win-win. China gets to be first (and Thorium reactor products cannot be easily weaponized), US gets to use China as a proving ground, and then the US regulators themselves are pressured to change their attitudes, which then creates

This also presents a problem if the app is not frequently used. The social/notification aspect should keep users coming back. I guess the hard part is you need at least 50-60 friends for users to engage once a day.

I'm more interested to learn how SocialCam managed to get so much interest? Is it ThanksGiving, therefore giving people a reason to show something off?

The biggest risk to a startup is that people don't know about their product. Spamming is not a long term strategy, but it might be useful in finding the first few customers to get customer development kick started.

So true about what you wrote on feeling gratitude. One of the effects of being hungry is feeling alive. You begin to exist because the drive needs you to get off and eat. One thing about being hungry is how unpleasant it is. And then how un

$100/mo is nothing for a business user. If it is important to their business, it is not an issue. In fact, emphasize that paid support means you will be around to answer their questions. Work on other forms of stickiness. If historical data

About 10 years ago, the gecko engine was being prepped so that it could be a layout engine for smaller form factors. In the end, webkit won probably on the basis of its license, and simplicity.

The man on the school board is drawing the wrong conclusions. His role today is one of management, and he has no need for anything beyond basic maths. However, there would have been a time when mastery of things technical meant a promotion,

We all know that [there is no racism]. This is a stoush between competitors, brothers in arms. This is why I want to check on any unintended escalation.

Bear in mind, it is very difficult to convey tone in a tweet. The larrikin in Australia gives a lot of colour to life here, and I'm sorry to see it go if all communication go electronic. There used to be a time when a gentle jibe in the rib

Kudos for turning a defensive move into PR gold. Absolutely right about Australian-Indian racism debate. A lot of Indians doing very well here, and the last time something flared up, the news attracted a lot of unwanted attention to the nat

Listen to Andrew Warner's interview. Peldi talked about approaching people on twitter due early days to try to do sales. He wasn't very successful with the approach, and then went on to try something else. I'm fairly certain that this
