Ah, good point. HD TVs are often (usually?) 1366x768. I guess they just picked that to provide room for chrome as you suggest? Seems an odd reason to go with 1366 and not 1360, and for video you'd think they'd promote using fullscreen any

I'm speaking in terms of FaceTime as a feature of the iPhone. As an iChat/OSX feature it is not remarkable, but as a iPhone 4 feature, you now have a significant pool of people you can now video chat with that you couldn't before (through

That's certainly one way to put it...

Ah, I got the impression you were saying "why FaceTime if there is Skype".

If they did that, Linux would get a massive influx of anal-retentive developers that know how to design nice apps...

Ah, but if it were a netbook it would be under $400.

They can still use Skype, and "something else is better known" has never been a reason not to introduce an alternative. And what you're seeing is branding. It used to be an iSight camera, now it's a FaceTime Camera.

Expandable to 4G, but yeah, 2G really is a minimum these days.

Yeah, I mentioned RAM only because it looked like a "stick", and hopefully attached like RAM (meaning removable and not with some kind of proprietary connection).

Because every Mac laptop and iMac for the past ~3 (?) years has shipped with a built-in camera. edit: To be clear, "huge" is relative, it's a big deal for the potential legitimacy of Facetime since the potential user base just grew quite a

Re: the Air... Man, Apple has balls. The 11.6" is interesting, note it's 720p exactly (1366x768). Note also he said he sees it as the "future of the macbook", and the future of the macbook has no obviously removable/upgradable HDD (it's lik

Facetime on OSX is expected but huge.

note that it's not in iTunes, thankfully. Also, check the open/close buttons, they're inline with the toolbar..

> This whole discussion about fragmentation is a tempest in a teapot. Nothing else you say really backs this up, your point seems to be more along the lines of "you can't afford to ignore Android".

Do you have any reasons in mind why would Jobs want to groom Zuck to be his successor? They don't seem particularly similar to me.

I'll guess that you're being down-voted because it's an odd question (seems obvious if you read the post), which by itself is no big deal, but one might think the answer is so obvious that perhaps you're just trying to make that tired "Appl

Same here, I have sound but just an empty white space where the video should be.

At what point does it go from "there is a widespread misuse of this term" to "it's an academic debate"? These days, "REST" is no better than "Web 2.0". (Okay, it's not as bad as Web 2.0 but it's certainly a buzzword)

Good point, I think abstractbill nailed it with the XML, which would explain why there was never a good (or great) client. I remember having the client conversation when Jabber was growing, there were clients you could use but nothing that

There is nothing about Jabber group chat that requires any frequent distractions, and group chat Jabber apps I have used seem to behave somewhat identically to irc clients (granted, this was ~4 years ago).

by tvon 16y ago
So, any speculation as to why jabber never replaced (or even really contended with) irc for developer chats?

After ~8 years with Linux as my desktop OS I moved to OSX in '06 and have been very happy. My unibody MBP is by far the nicest laptop I've ever owned or used... I do web development with Django for a living, so it sounds like you'd use the

If the team size is a problem, maybe we can hold a bake sale so Google can hire another engineer or two.

You don't have much of a choice if you're using the default theme.
