I think we're only in a Facebook-fueled Social Network bubble. While at the same time, we are only at the beginning of genuine technology boom. Mobile and cloud computing tech isn't going to go away like a fad.

You want me to hand over my entire backend infrastruture to your company and be entirely limited by your capabilites and rewrite my app specifically for your system? Seriously? Are there people actually interested this? Who's the target

All big companies WILL buy support as that's what they do. No they won't. MIT license lets them use the software for free. Why woukd anyone pay anything if it can be used freely?

It's a herculean effort. I heard about Opa about a year or two ago, amazed he's still at it. Kind of like Haxe. I doubt they will go anywhere, like Coffescript, because any language that simply abstracts another is just cruft and doomed

The average human being is a complete imbecile. When they see any rectangular device that can make sounds and records sounds, they truly believe it is an iPhone. They're all like "whoa is that the new Iphone?". Really, regular people are

There is no way each of their users can possibly be worth that price. They've done a good job at hyping up the company, but from an investment standpoint, it's dead meat. They really need to pull a rabbit out of their hat at this point --

So presumably he's filed for a patent on this technique? Selecting text on a computer should not be patentable. But I bet it probably is because of how stupid the patent system is.

I don't think the author has any idea what anything in that article even means.

We'll still need several GB or TB of local storage, be it spinning disks, SSDs or permanent RAM. Yes I should have clarified -- I expect memristors to be on the market within a few years. Once they're ready I bet we'll see all l

Are we to imagine a future where consumers cannot purchase storage media? Yes that's coming. Many countries are starting to put tariffs on hard drives. And in my country, Canada, they also slow down your internet when downloading

I want a "cloud filesystem", but want it controlled by ME, not Apple, and not iCloud. That's the problem. Apple wants to control the filesystem, and I, and others are not willing to accept this horrific scenario.

Browser cache is around 1GB and web developers are itching for vast landscapes of local storage systems. We're moving toward a computing world where hard drives don't even exist. Within 3 years we may see devices that have only p

I'm only a prophet if I'm correct. If I'm wrong I'm just some dude on the internet.

Mobile apps, especially iOS apps, are hobbled by their curators. iPhone's don't even have an open file system and the platform was purposely designed so that apps are isolated, and funneled through a strict paradigm. This most certainly i

The "All-Web" paradigm is coming, folks. And it really doesn't matter how much you love your iPhone, or your Android, or Windows phone. Native apps are toast, in the long run. Your data is moving to the cloud -- your pictures, your music

The OS market is fragmenting. This is precisely why the web will win. The time is already here where people have to decide whether to build a desktop app, a smartphone app, a tablet app, or a website that can support all three form

For an already funded company, that already has traction, I personally wouldn't consider a less than 1% equity offer. But for startup, that is still getting going, pre-revenue, I seriously would walk away at 5% or more because it is probab

Life before the internet was incredibly boring most of the time. It's pretty boring most of the time today too. It seems to me as if the more "painless" our society becomes (less hard labor, more free time, movies, and porn), the m

This reminds me of that guy about 10 or 15 years ago, who made some amazing claim that that he was going to live in his house, sustaining himself entirely from work he did and things he bought from the internet for a year. And then basical

It's all about software delivery. Native apps, whether they be desktop or mobile based, will always pale in comparison to the simple act of clicking on a link, and immediately running the software - no downloads, no install, no headaches.

Does it work in the latest (hexxeh) ChromeOS release?

Amazon's tablet now holds > 50% of the Android tablet market, which makes them a major mobile player too. The article was written around a headline, instead of around facts, and actual statistics and trends.

We will never have Web 3.0, because the Web’s dead. Yawn. The person writing this is clearly clueless. The web is not going die. Anyone who says things like this is clearly an iPhone junkie and not really paying attention to the

This is just further proof that people don't really want an iPad, they want a laptop It's not really about hardware. I think what people really want is to escape the desktop operating system paradigm. When someone buys an iPad t

We can't compete with being a founder on equity. Why not? If you need quality developers OFFER THEM FUCKING EQUITY!! They'll listen, trust me. Offer them 0.07% equity and the most talented developers out there will brush you off a

Why did they call it 802.11ac when there are already specs for 802.11a and 802.11c? This is only going to confuse people.

If you use web technologies you can build for more than just iOS devices. The Phonegap project (now called Apache Cordova) is maybe a bit better because it supports more platforms: http://incubator.apache.org/cordova/
