Here's a Python script I threw together to automate this: https://gist.github.com/1515666

At this point, it looks like 1, 4, 5, 7, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 19 have been put up on S3.

This is awesome - might roll a Python port if I have some time in the next few days.

This would be so much easier if the status codes on the index just linked to the actual pages.

Interesting, but, to be fair, I don't find urlparse or urllib to be all that frustrating or tedious to use.

This made me think of the feature flipping that Facebook Engineering uses - details here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2594083

I'm curious how you would have them integrate. Google announced during the event that they were working with YouTube to allow artists to sell tracks directly against their YouTube channels.

What else would you do?

EDIT: Actually, the answer is kind of obvious now that I've pondered it a little bit. We can only hope that a deeper integration is in the pipeline.

I'm extremely interested to see how today's Music announcements will tie into Google's rumored GDrive plans.

Not that I disagree with the message, but I think a bit of perspective is important. The two games being flaunted as single-player failures here are MW3 and BF3. DICE, BF3's developer, has never been a solid single-player production house (though the campaigns of Bad Company 1/2 were far better than BF3's is). Infinity Ward, developer of MW3, was gutted following Activision's dismissal of the studio's two founders and the subsequent exodus of talent after MW2 was released.

That's not to say that the overall state of FPS campaigns isn't disappointing. I'm looking forward to seeing if Respawn (the Infinity Ward founders' new studio) can do anything to reverse that trend.

Disclosure: I empathize with the OWS movement, but have consistently been critical of it.

That having been said, Frank Miller is a far-right reactionary. I admire most of his work[1], but, quite frankly, I find his opinions and rhetoric to be frightening and dangerous.

I discovered this when I was teaching myself the Android SDK at the beginning of the year. Good show, Google.

This looks really interesting - I may have to shift around my Monday evening and check this out.

This is what I was looking for. Many thanks.

Agreed - I find getting email from Meetup focuses my attention on events I either wouldn't have seen or wouldn't have known to look for.

If people are interested in setting up a Bay Area meetup sometime soon, we should look into creating a group.

Using Meetup.com is a great idea - is there a meetup group for HN users in the Bay Area?

This will be a response to this parent and the one that posed essentially the same point.

I don't believe I referred to anything regarding the recent recession or who was to blame. My problem with the repeal of Glass-Steagall has more to do with the overwhelming conflict of interest it could create within these institutions (i.e., using deposits to grant credit to the investment arms for making risky bets). On the flip side, you could argue that proper regulation could stymie that risk, but I'd rather just not leave it up to chance (read: politicians). That's my opinion - you may feel differently.

#2 is crucial - Glass-Steagall should never have been repealed.

I'm assuming this is open to everyone? Or is it only open to people who received invites to Startup School?

That lists its source as this post, which lists its source as Wikipedia. Still uncorroborated in my mind.

CBS's mobile site is atrocious. Their online content is often riddled with poor grammar and typos as well. I consider CBS to be a premier journalistic institution, but their website makes them look like a high school newspaper. It's too bad, really.

You can't submit a URL to HN twice - since the Steve Jobs tribute page had already been submitted, I'm assuming an arbitrary parameter was added to allow the URL to be reposted.

What advantages does this give you over AngelList?

More fundamental than the argument being made in this article is the rate of change.

I actually like Microsoft's Metro UI - I think it looks really good and makes a fair amount of design sense. I realize there are people who are with me and people who aren't. Now, that's not to say that I would or wouldn't take a WinPho over Android or iOS - I just like the way it looks and operates.

As a phone/tablet OS, it's great. But shoving it onto desktops this quickly is shortsighted (and, knowing what I know about Microsoft, probably a result of a bit of hubris). By forcing Windows users to make the switch to Metro (which is completely different than explorer.exe), Microsoft is going to create a lot of user backlash - it's a completely different computing experience than what Windows users have come to expect.

What Apple gets that Microsoft doesn't is that, while both agree that simpler, more elegant UIs are the future of computing, you can't just force an entrenched desktop user to switch to a mobile interface overnight. Lion introduced a number of iOS like features to OS X, but it didn't completely reinvent the wheel like Microsoft is trying to do with Win8.

Having a short demo would be extremely useful here - I'm not dropping $200+ on something I'm not sure is any good.

Akamai's market cap is $4.3B, which means Google would have to drop at least that (but really much more) to acquire them. Something tells me Google's investors are going to go bananas (not in a good way) if this goes through, especially on the heels of their Motorola Mobility acquisition.

A compelling theory, but it would be totally unlike Apple to pull something like this.

Why would Apple pollute the sublime, simple experience of using Siri with advertisements? It would be uncharacteristic - it's not like a company like Apple needs to do anything like this when they generate revenue through so many other streams.

Of course what spins in the rumor mill could possibly be indicative of what future iterations of the product could hold. It's a well-documented fact that Apple's product pipeline is planned out for at least the next five years. However, my point lied in the fact that Apple didn't leak anything to quell overzealous rumors (which is customary for them - of course they wouldn't comment on it publicly, but Apple does leak information to journalists to guide speculation and hype).

Apple failed to manage expectations - rumors ran rampant about a new design, larger screen, iPhone 4S and an iPhone 5, LTE/WiMAX...

In the face of all the rumors of possible updates, an S version of what we already had is underwhelming. In the past Apple has done a great job of strategically leaking info to the press when rumors were getting out of hand (iPad 2 Retina Display is a recent example) - that did not happen this time.

To be fair, I really, really enjoy a number of the guest posters on TechCrunch - I find the third-party columns to be refreshing and informative. Tom Anderson, Justin Kan, etc...

But you're right, it will be interesting to see what happens to TechCrunch now without MG in a regular contributing position. With Arrington and Paul Carr gone, most of TechCrunch's editorial "stars" have moved on.
