Do you currently need a good remote Node.js/MongoDB developer? (That's my current preference. I do everything except Ruby/Perl/.NET. Sizable experience with AWS, App Engine, Linux admin, SQL, you name it.)

I switched to Galaxy Nexus (from iPhone 3GS), where I ended up using Web apps over native apps. This is not only because the native apps tend to install costly background services that keep the phone awake, or because their Java UI without

Well, I'm no doom believer myself, but for the sake of completeness, here is something interesting: http://farsight.org/demo/Demo2008/RV_Demo_2008_Page1.html Mind you, these remote viewers are said to be used by military, so probably no

Where would they go if they pulled out of YouTube etc.? Do you think they are there because they like Google? No matter what product you have, if you don't market it, it's the same as if you didn't have it. Marketing is Google's other name,

They will be more careful next time. Also, there are interests behind many of these. One rich group could spawn dozen of various "alliances" and "associations", just to hide behind diversity. The money flying here are billions, so how much

I think you are being optimistic. The question is (tho), how will Apple counter this one. If they pull something similar on Motorola, then that's a settlement. If they can't pull anything, they have to buy themselves out - which would be gr

No, I'm not complaining about the 64 GB, that's a good thing. What I meant is that the only way to put media on iPhone is iTunes on my Mac with 100% image of the media, which takes precious SSD space. I wasn't up to date with the iCloud, I'

The fact that if I buy a 64 GB iPhone, then I have to dedicate half of my 128 GB Macbook Pro's SSD just to keep a duplicate of the media on the iPhone (iTunes Library) that I only use on the phone - is a total deal-breaker for me as far as

But this barrier can only fall if the titans make it fall. Probably makes sense to expect that the titans will try to make it only fall for themselves, but I don't think that would work. How that works exactly is what we see now. Hopefully

This is great, and exactly what we need. Through the patent war, massive losses must be incurred on the richest corporations, until one (or more) of them say "enough", and use their money to lobby the patent system into oblivion.
