Re:What really happened aboard Air France 447 on Thursday December 08, 2011 @09:32AM (#3329173)
From the article, it seems like the plane had a downward velocity of 10,000 fpm (~110mph) upon crashing.

Would passengers have died instantly upon impact with the water? (It appears not)

Re:Software philosophy: Release early, release often vs polished releases on Monday November 28, 2011 @09:44AM (#3286034)
The Release Early/Often example describes a situation of releasing a product that does not have all the features of its competitors: "The Windows Operating System, in the initial version (1.0) did not support overlapping windows which was a breakthrough feature on the then contemporary Macintosh."

Identically, the Polished Release example also describes a situation of releasing a product that does not have all the features of its competitors: The first version of iOS "(then called as iPhone OS), did not even have MMS"

Seems like the author didn't pick a great example to demonstrate a Polished Release.

Any reason why I would use this instead of http://www.dropmocks.com? Dropmocks seems to upload significantly faster for me as well.
