I'm at WWDC now on my MacBook Air and wish that I remembered my ethernet adaptor...

It's actually not a lie! Both features were legal: they shared App Store or iTunes links to the relevant app or song. This disappointed those users wanting to share the actual app or song and thus weren't used very frequently :)

I'm head of API at Bump. We've been hard at work on version 3 of our API for both iOS and Android, complete with quite a lot of dogfooding. Both betas are significantly easier to integrate, and offer excellent performance in addition to more features. We are constantly looking for feedback from developers and integrating this quickly into our development cycle.

Working out of the box is something that we demand and is the typical experience for an API user, both in the old versions and in the new ones. If it doesn't, then we are available on email and our Google Groups and respond quickly.

A concrete example of how we are always pushing the limit: greater than 90% of all matches are now displayed on the handset in less than one second from time the of bump.

Time to prototype has definitely gotten cheaper.

C is still necessary for a lot of people at scale.

I'm curious as to why the author hasn't referenced nginx, which is written also event based (epoll/kqueue) and written in C.

shorten plus.google.com/x to plus.google.com rather than google.com, as is the status quo

Thanks for your feedback. That screenshot is pretty old; iTunes Preview has newer ones which reflect our newer, more attractive refresh. As always, we are hard at work at awesome new stuff.

Actually, people do in fact choose tablets and laptops based on size. I'm not suggesting that either size is superior. They are clearly different.

Anecdotally, I find that the iPad size is great for a table/lap, but less great for holding, while I love the size/shape/weight of the Kindle2 for reading. I don't think any particular size will win out.

He's not crazy and that conclusion is not unique to gruber. The screen area of the iPad is nearly 2x that of the fire. Resolution is 1.3x but pixel density will increase on iPad3.

They are about as competitive as a 15" laptop is to a netbook: not very as they are physically quite different. The price difference reflects this.

Agreed. I personally vary between delight and dislike of the soft keyboard. They can do nothing but improve and your note about young people adapting is absolutely true.

Most users can read or draw on paper for more than ten minutes. The user can still place a tablet on his/her lap or desk.

The biggest problems with these devices today are ergonomic, but these will be fixed with time and the laptop with keyboard will gradually be made obscure: tablets won't be the third device.

As the thickness and weight of the iPad decrease, it will become less cumbersome and more natural. iPad2 is already a big step forward in the latter two categories: it is significantly less awkward to hold an iPad1 but still has quite a while to go.

Typing today on an iPad is slightly awkward. Good voice recognition could eliminate this in private settings.

When these physical dimensions diminish, input improves, and screen resolutions increase, the experience will converge towards that of a truly interactive notepad or piece of paper, thereby becoming much more natural.

The point is that these stocks are underperforming with respect to large cap companies and thus the market at large. The s&p is down under 5% today.

This is untrue on a percentage basis.
