Re:Tell HN: Slack decides to close down IRC and XMPP gateways

This kind of announcement needed to include "and today we're announcing native apps across all platforms". Honestly, the Slack app has become worse (not better) over time.
Re:Evolving the Dropbox Brand

This is just so sad. I've used, paid for, and loved Dropbox for years and years. It is really worrying that anyone in the company felt it was OK to launch this rebrand.

I always hate the language used in blogs posts like this. Not saying I could write something much better... just painful to read the sugar-coated bad news.

A wasted opportunity to properly interview a great man. There are a few people that you interview with reverence: Woz is one of them.

It was a tongue-in-cheek reference to the recent discussions on HN about Python being in decline.

Phew. That's a little over-wrought.
Surely Apple has a responsibility to defend its patents and innovations?
We ("rabid Apple fan[s]") need a strong and successful Android to ensure some balance in this next generation of computing. We need a successful Android to keep Apple on their toes.
Google has figured out how to innovate with Android. Ice-cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean feature a unique and notable user interface.
Samsung, on the other hand, designed 'TouchWhiz' to imitate parts of the iOS look-and-feel in order to mislead customers.

One of the few? Cool. It's not costing you that much to keep them on their lifetime plan. Surely its not worth the negative PR?
Not sure what Joyent is thinking.
