He states: My biggest challenge isn’t winning over converts from my competitors: it’s explaining what Instapaper does and convincing people that they actually need it.
So if apple deploys this everywhere, more people will understand it. Since Instapaper already has such a huge user base, established users will (supposedly) say 'oh, I use instapaper. It's much better'.
So apple creates new users, which are then drawn to Instapaper's superior service.
This is all dependent upon Instapaper actually implementing substantially better, but so far apple has sucked at multi-device syncing of, well, just about anything.
I can just see a thief looking at the vespa, the chain, the parking meter and thinking 'It's a crime anyways, may as well get the 15$ in change'.
Interesting how true this must be. We've heard promise of practical personal flying machines for decades, usually complete with artists renditions or renders, but few have seemed to materialize yet.
Ultralights are probably the closest, fairly cheap and requiring little infrastructure. Just a seat with a big fan attached to a parachute really.
Even these though take a surprising amount of work to be able to operate safely.
I'm sure there are CS majors now in the workforce that just crank out their requisite number of lines each day, the work that many like to deify as an analytical blend of art and science becoming a routine drag.
And there are welders who take pride in their work and are treated with religious respect by civil engineers.
Maybe it's more about the person than the major.

If he understands how PKI works. If he understands that people share a public key which is in turn paired with a private key. And if he understands that said private key is the only key capable of decrypting messages that were encrypted using the public key, that should be fine.
If he knew that much, he'd probably be able to reason out what 'symmetric' vs 'asymmetric' meant, if given enough time.
Is knowing the exact terms better? Yes.
Is it shameful to understand the concept pretty well without knowing every bit of terminology used to describe it? I'd say no.
'ip addr' should give you all the information that 'ifconfig' does. You can also make the output a little less chatty by doing 'ip -o -4 addr' to get IPv4 addresses on one line per interface, or 'ip -o -0 addr' to get MAC addresses displayed similarly. This can make awking / cutting for addresses to use in scripts a little more elegant.
They use gestures started outside of the center as 'macros', able to be custom bound to frequently used phrases or words.
I thought this would be good news. Sun has a shaky future and a lot of people use Java. The more control of it the community has the better.
Not as fast as Simplenote appears to be, but excellent nonetheless. Has saved me in a datacenter without my laptop many a time.
"According to data provided by UNOS, in 2006, the median number of days from joining the liver waiting list to transplant was 306 nationally. In Tennessee, it was 48 days."
48 is significantly lower than 180. http://daringfireball.net/2009/06/wsj_steve_jobs_liver_trans...
I doubt anyone is actually pissed off, they are just whipping up drama to make sure everyone knows how mystical the CrunchPad will be.
It really does sound like a cool device, look forward to seeing details on the production version.
- Eventually it will get into the app store
- All the publicity, fovorable reviews, and outrage over it will probably spur quite a few purchases / downloads. Maybe enough to make a top 10 list.
"... a series of tax cuts for small businesses and tax incentives to encourage investments in small businesses. He noted further that in his budget, he proposes permanently reducing to zero the capital gains tax for investments in small or startup businesses"
Not sure how much investors care about taxes when they are investing in a startup, but it seems like this would make funding more available.

He was pretty upset when the article hit, and posted an email to Chen on his blog: http://blog.nobi.cc/2009/02/my-view-of-how-iphone-is-doing-i...
He also twittered about the situation quite a bit, including some back and forth with Chen: http://twitter.com/nobi?page=5
