don't underestimate the capabilities of `volunteers', or floss developers; nearly 30 years of apple software was thrown away again and again, and apple jumped to something new without much backward compatibility. So, they enabling sophisticated development by paying is a temporary illusion.

as far as i understand freebsd is there just because some license fanatics want to maintain a commercial-izable alternative to linux. they switching to clang doesn't mean much, because it is most probably a dogmatic, ideological move.

can't see any video, on firefox/linux - no flash.

google is hedging itself against singularity. When the day comes. Google valuation will jump exponentially within a matter of minutes.

MECE is a good idea indeed for the list but It is clear that one company may have more than one item from MECE.

I agree. all those price elasticity examples depend on at which point you are on the demand curve for your individual product offering.

Thanks for the links; Now I noticed, I had encounted the title, nookd on HN; and took it for an article about a Linux daemon; "nookd".

was not, but I now learned about Sapphire and Steel, thanks to your comment.

that seems to be one true Armageddon among all in the list.

moreoever, they could launch 5 startups at the domain cost of one.

so, the universe is a room.

i m curious, if the notion of particle will fade away and there will be a quasi-continuous resonance modes of waves....

I gave this as an introductory read to our junior web marketing team. it would be really nice to have a bootstrap landing page and I am surprised why Google does not provide such resources?

is this really an argument against what super_mario says? when he says it doesnt have a plugin architecture of course he means extendibility by everyone.

once macs have died, and i was there an 18year old mac c++ programmer. believe me many things like that can happen again in tech world.

The whole idea of open source is here in trimbo's comment. Android does not empower even Google to a total control; anybody forks (Amazon, Nook) does what they want. iOS can't do this.

Love & hate as an argument is recently a lot common at HN, especially MG is making headlines several times a month, with just another way to show his love for Apple and hate for .. anything else.

Exactly my situation; I use my Android in 2 countries and I can change carriers, country and language. I always avoid crapware loaded by carriers.

"The way Google releases Nexus for Android; the Ubuntu hardware could be a template and a reference design for other companies"

The applicant wants to fork android, merge with the best of Meego and create Nokia OS in 2012.

if your web site hits high traffic, will be quite useful to create a static version; a nice "enterprise feature" in sinatra.

we -from the future of the universe- also stand up for stallman http://www.augmentedmadness.com/we-from-the-future-also-stan...

shall we ever need this, i m not sure. exoplanets will be enough maybe.

apple has the pr money to create status gadgets and use the profit to attack alll kinds of efforts in reverse direction, to show the users that their gadget is not superior but defected by design because it takes their freedom to install what they want..

if we lived in an apple dominated space even the web browser risks being banned and i m sure some of the end users you mention would applaud it.

people like rms are there to wake us from short sighted dreams.

I have the same setup more or less, interesting that we both switched to gnome 3 at the end.

The beginning of the end for AAPL-mania, or a road bump?

or skype name will be changed to, microsoft windows video and call manager.

coming soon, skype editions, starter with no video, professional up to 2 people, enterprise, and 90 days trial edition.

I almost agree.

Totally agree, i hope unity will shine, my adding more and more goodies. On my tablet i would really want to have a full linux, if that is at all possible.
