Even the changes you suggest would not be as significant a difference as there was between phones before the iPhone and phones after. The basic design of the laptop has been with us for two decades with only minor changes. The the current f

The documentary Helvetica was made by the same director, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helvetica_%28film%29 . I was impressed that a documentary about fonts could be so engaging.

If capital is used a metric in the invention an invention that used less capital could be viewed as a different invention.

You could argue that whether a patent is awarded for an invention should have a dependency on the capital required to produce the innovation. Innovation, distribution and marketing for software has become so inexpensive that patents are see

Yes, I have used it in two projects myself and been involved in another project where I added a few features. If you are working on a straight forward CRUD web app that does not interface with other services there is some value. One project

I think you can say the same about TDD. Enthusiasm for TDD seems inversely related to perceived cost.

Cox seems about $30 per month cheaper than the best price I found from Comcast. Unfortunately it is not available in Annapolis.

It is expensive with the current feature set and will likely have to drop below $300 to become common place but for music control surface applications it's 25% the cost of a Lemur and is more functional since it is programmable http://www.

I think it is OK, in the most inclined position it is about 30 degrees with respect to the surface and you can rest your hands on the edge of the device and the surface on which it is resting. Your wrists are up slightly so it could get unc

I live in the Washington DC/Baltimore area which has a dense population. Not sure how price varies across country. I could have knocked off another $10 per month if I would have eliminated basic cable. So I could have gotten the cost down t

That the iPad is consistently classified as a media consumption device seems an attempt to trivialize its significance by people who consider themselves power users. I agree that currently the use cases of most applications fall into this c

Apple has a history of innovation in new device classes, notable are the PC, laptop, PMP and Smartphone. You could also make the claim that the Newton was not on Steve Job's watch. I see the iPad as a not fully baked iteration on the Smart

The original E8 theory of everything paper by Garret Lisi was written around 2 years ago. The paper mentioned in this article, published about a month ago, claims to prove that a theory of everything cannot be based on E8 http://www.spring

I purchased 'Communicating and Mobil Systems: the Pi-Calculus' last week. http://www.amazon.com/Communicating-Mobile-Systems-Robin-Mil... . This is the first computing theory book I have read. It's quite readable and very well written.

Yes I agree he is talking about p2p. ISPs could start deploying devices on customer premises to provide caching, storage, compute and wireless network services. In densely populated areas this would essentially be a local CDN.

I cannot say if this is generally true for functional languages but a good comparison of the efficiency of erlang as compared to java can be found by comparing the code footprint of ejabberd, an erlang xmpp server, and openfire, a java xmpp
