Did we just run out of things where everyone though they’d never be released?

Basically you push json/xml/whatever documents into buckets. The docs will be indexed, i.e., by field names (json & xml) or simply fulltext. It is pretty cool because it’s based on Riak Core and thus has the same benefits as Riak K/V. Lucene runs transparently in the background - afaik you never even have to touch it.

-“I’m getting an error”
“Which error?”
-“Unnamed method in [...]”
Then, a mountain of pain and torture later.
"But now it works, ok?”
-“Ok.”

Ever had to fix someone else’s system via Skype or phone? I personally believe writing a rails clone in brainfuck is more fun.
RVM is just great and simple.
What I’m trying to say though: Having done quite some side projects with node, the ruby stuff suddenly feels very enterprisey to me. More and more conventions might make it harder to keep track of everything in the future.
Let me ask another question: Will it become feasible to move code, tools and everything else into web services? Imagine you have your favorite editor (emacs, TM, vim) running in a browser window. Only that it’s live-updating like, e.g., Ethercodes or Wave. And you have very straight-forward access to SCM features like staging hunks of code. Also the code deploys straight to heroku or whatever. It could, of course, also go through closure or sproutcore in case of a fancy js client app.
Do you think it’ll all evaporate (I refuse to say cloud :) eventually?
The thing is I’m really going through a lot of pain setting up my system and other’s systems over and over again. Yes, there are ways to automate that but the effort is too high for most or we would all be doing it right now.

Yes, manufacturers and services providers alike have been trying for years. Last time I checked there are huge issues with the security. This site seems to have good information on the topic: http://weblog.cenriqueortiz.com/touch-nfc/
Anyhow, I see much more potential when the ability to transfer money quickly is paired with an all-powerful computer in your pocket.
So we need someone to both figure out a secure process and provide apps/APIs to leverage that. Apple, anyone?
Ok, I couldn’t resist.
About resolution independence: I believe we could hack the CSS to use appropriate percentage values for the laser rays. Basically calculate a percentage for width or height in JS and apply that so it scales with the window automatically.
Here are some slides I created in a prior attempt to impersonate someone who's mental abilities are clearly above mine:
