I did the same double-take. They both make up between 10 and 15% -- when MS bought Yahoo's search traffic, they effectively doubled their traffic and jumped to about 24-28%. So that's the number they've grown from recently.

Yes, but how core is "don't ever write more than one test at a time"?

If they've paid out 2 billion to developers, that's 850 million to Apple. Does anyone think they're close to spending 850 million to run the App Store system?

It IS a profit center.

What the crap?

Is this co-located with any other companion conference?

This is NOT the similarly-named talk by Chris Houser from Strange Loop 2010, in case anyone else was thinking the same thing. This (from Stuart Sierra) is worth a separate read, and has nice visuals with a row/column metaphor.

That is the wrong question. The question should be, "Why are ebooks priced so high?"

It does no such thing and proves neither. A ridiculous headline and a worthless article.

Why do you quote this, what is your point? The article's next sentence continues just like your own: "But how are they going to make money from it? All of those things listed above could or are happening-" and goes on to further discussion.

I'm surprised that the average investment is actually that small. (Yes, we've been hearing of this trend overall, but still, ~30 companies per million?) Is an average of < $38K all that companies want/need, or all that they will take?

I'd love to read your article on your great new blog design, but your blog won't scroll on my phone, so I cannot. Alas.

Is this really an attempt to support free speech with a DDOS? Or is there some sort of meta/irony motivation here?

"Always look on the briiight side of life..."

Sure, it was about 50 times more than they expected. But on the bright side, at least it wasn't everybody...

Swype seems a lot more likely to take off than this. Anyone else think that the finger in their video seemed to move at superhuman speeds? Seems like a lot of finger motion for each character.

tl;dr: 27K people have pledged $10/year, they'll be viable with 100K

Are there any other sync services that work across both Firefox and Chrome?

It sounds like your time hasn't come yet.

Is anyone else surprised that microsoft.com still has "emulate IE7" turned on?

Doesn't this happen every summer?

You know, I kinda like that Lisp-style C++ formatting...

Of oily water. That's very different from 500,000 barrels of oil per day.

Make sure you catch the issues with the data and presentation of the viz. First there's the basic "albums vs. tracks" equivalence, and then someone's reply post is here: http://freshspectrum.com/2010/06/04/critiquing-the-infograph...

I think the parent probably meant the "they think they have a problem" bias.

Though, that's not why I use RescueTime - I just love data. (And by the way, would love to download the fine-grained CSV for all of my activity for all time)

"web site publishers are clearly betting on H.264 remaining free to use for freely distributed web video"...

Yes, and MPEG LA might be perfectly content with a $5 million check from every browser maker every year.

This looks promising! This functionality (and also the other projects on type-inference, etc linked in the research section) is very much needed. I'll use it myself, to be sure - but better IDE-related Ruby code analysis will be a great help in easing the complaints of the "religion of static typing" folks.

The thing that caught my eye was the big "Graduate" (to Visual Studio) button right next to "Run".

Color me jaded.

This article IS that book -- I just finished reading it. This article is ripped word-for-word from several sections of that book, with a little stitching together. It's an entertaining book, if a bit rambling.

Is this guy a nutcase? He reads kind of like a doom-and-gloom nutcase, but I am not an economist. Could one comment on his basic validity level?

I would like to see a similar "Clojure's second year" review.

Isn't "essential unobtrusive javascript" an oxymoron? Unobtrusive Javascript is by definition stuff where your site is still OK without it?
