What's the point of the circle icon indicating the number of revenue categories? Until you look at a few it'd be easy to imagine it's a pie chart. All it indicates is a cardinality, so why not simply display a number? Except even that doesn't make sense because (a) we can already see at a glance how many revenue-bubbles are highlighted, and (b) how is that a meaningful number anyway?
I shouldn't have to click on the "x" to dismiss a popup info card. That's a small target, which slows me down when I want to click through a bunch of the "bottle caps". Clicking anywhere outside the card should dismiss it. This is a common idiom on the web. Better yet, clicking on any "bottle cap" should immediately pop up the "baseball card" for that company, without my having to first dismiss the previously shown "baseball card".
In light of that, I don't think the weekend was too long to wait for a statement from him.
Gruber, on the other hand, obviously knew of his own plans well in advance.
I don't think it was a racist gesture. I think it was an attempt to respect Lin's race that may have been slightly misguided.
If it's possible to edit the link, I recommend replacing it with the non-mobile version:

Well said.
FYI Steve was famous for always wearing the same thing, including the shoes.
Overall something about Gruber's piece felt off to me. But none of us is a perfect writer and this is an emotional time.
If someone asks for help and this is the first thing you say, you're already thinking about it the wrong way.
What is their background? Their aptitude? Why do they want to learn? How do they learn best? Are their expectations reasonable? In short, what would be the smartest way to help this individual? One suboptimal way is to post essentially a multi-paragraph lmgtfy and assume that everybody will hound down the knowledge they need with the same geeky obsessiveness you would.
Edit: I meant to mention that remark about getting a Mac. "Embarrassed" to have considered anything else? I'm a big Mac fan (Cocoa developer) but that is ridiculous enough that I'm tempted to see the whole post as a joke.
"Post" means "after". It usually connotes some sense of replacement, but does not necessarily imply wholesale obsoleting of the thing that came before it.
I think "post-PC" is a calculated marketing term, but to criticize it based on the most absurd possible interpretation is, well, absurd.
