You know that part of the reason that Google's interviews are so difficult is that they can hire younger people that have bright minds, no families, and that will work crazy hours?

The side benefit is that they have geniuses working there.

We talked about doing this at my last job, and never did. When I read "...gives a small group of employees 2 weeks or ‘a limited amount of time’ to work on a project outside of their normal responsibilities at Apple", it made me think of the same attitude- the inability to commit to full-on innovation and creativity. Tim Cook, you are a great CEO, but you don't know how to take sufficient risk to get the reward. Everyone should get the 20% time. Don't do anything half-assed, ever. Even better would be to 1-up Google and say that you don't give a flying fuck what your employees do as long as they are innovating for the company and doing what they love to make people's lives better.

I like the creativity in the design.

I think that having to snap the controllers together over and over is a little too gimmicky and would either get old fast or would perhaps be a lawsuit waiting to happen (small fingers getting smushed, old people's wrists breaking, etc.).

Do not show those games or the actors in the first video. It was unpolished and I got really confused and thought the controller contained those games, which look like really bad TV games.

I would not buy these controllers unless there were really nice looking games that utilized the features they provide. I could also see my youngest child getting hurt playing with them. You basically need a kickass game to show off what these can do for the game author and it needs to look less dangerous.

I totally love mesh networking. I would put up with slower download and upload speeds to get rid of dependence on private or public entities to provide service that price gouge and stifle innovation. To those that say "it can't handle that much traffic", it can with smarter routing algorithms, and network usage is self-regulating (if users can't watch streaming netflix, they will stop trying). The net is about freedom, and mesh embodies that freedom.

Will someone please stand up, gets some balls, and say that the world needs to stick its litigiousness where the sun don't shine? I'm not defending Apple. They screwed the pooch recently suing Samsung. This is karma. But, we need to speak out against people just suing because they can. And, while we're at it, enact laws that restrict the power of unions.

The reason you include the license in your project is so that if the person clones the repo or downloads the tar.gz/zip, they get the license with it, even if it is offline.

While it is a kind thing to try to do this for folks, linking to a license is not a good idea.

Also, while it isn't as commonplace as it was in the early 2000s, legally, I'm told it is still the best idea to include the license in every file of your project where there is significant value. I don't personally think the clutter is worth it, but then again, I've not written something so important that if the license were pissed upon that I would "gather guns" and sue.

Additionally, even though MIT is still bread and butter as far as I'm concerned (and I'm a Ruby guy and Rails, etc. use it), some claim Apache is better if you are concerned about the strength of the license.
