How people judge your intelligence based on the looks of your graphs: Take 1.

That's a great, valid point... Still interesting to me that he unloaded almost all his vested shares. The media was sure to pick up on it and executives often buy back shares to signal confidence.

Maybe he was simply trying to balance his asset allocation. He's definitely not living off $40m, right? It always seems that Apple is sure to outperform, but maybe we'll look back on this as a genius move in a few years.

EDIT: Updated the title to richardburton's suggestion.

This looks like a great resource for new developers. I'm planning to walk through it in the coming weeks.

I guess that's true, but they already take a similar approach with the "This program has been downloaded from the internet," box.

I don't understand the "Move to Trash" default for Apps that are unsigned if your default is to only run signed apps.

I think the chances are greater that a user intentionally downloaded a piece of software that happens to be unsigned rather than unintentionally downloaded malware. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to prompt the user something along the lines of "This application was not created by a trusted developer. Run anyway?"

Maybe Gruber was the only one who keyed in on how big of a deal it was.

But you still have to make an explicit action (eg hit play on spotify). It's not like Facebook is pulling things out of your head, you still have control over what you're sharing with people.

Kampala, Uganda. I'll admit I'm surprised by the geographic diversity. Maybe some traffic analytics would be interesting to compare.

Sorry you felt that way, I enjoyed reading everyone's comments though. I just reread the submission guidelines and won't submit articles like this in the future. Still new around here.

"Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic."

I think those are a bit different. For all of the actions you mentioned, there is only one way to complete the task (eg deleting an app). With Siri, you can also accomplish any of its functionality using the traditional UI. Therefore the user has to remember to use Siri.

However, your point is well taken. Maybe I'm not giving the average user enough credit.

My work Blackberry is still down in Uganda. Pretty brutal.

I think the title is a bit misleading... Developers can opt to insert CSS code that allows for page flipping instead of scrolling. Even then, the end user can opt out of this in favor of scrolling.

Does anyone know if there are cues that remind the end user to use Siri? (eg. "you haven't used Siri in a week," or something of that nature). This feature, since it is primarily hidden behind the home button, might be forgotten by the average user.

As Mr. Gruber stated, once he got it into his workflow, he missed it when it was gone. However, I think one of the biggest hurdles to mass adoption will be getting it into the workflow of the average user.

Anyone have ideas of how to address this problem? Or do you think the product video is enough?

Thank you for the tip, Peter. I didn't know about showdead until now.

Sorry for the confusion! I didn't know about showdead and thought you were talking about ComputerGuru's comment.

I'm pretty sure he meant that Steve deserved the respect that the community is showing for him.

Could this have anything to do with the licensing fees that are becoming a reality with the Android ecosystem? It might be an incentive to bring things in house in the future (both hardware and software).

It's the same with turntable.fm... Talk about an unfortunate trend. I think it's great that facebook can help facilitate the authentication process, but it should definitely be a choice made by the user.

It's what Path is trying to capture, but they're such a new service that they don't have the problem of displaying multiple year's worth of data (in their case photos). If people keep using the service, I'm sure they will eventually have to come up with a better way to find the most interesting moments.

Sure many people will spend time curating their timeline, but I think that for most people an algorithm will just select the best stuff.

Nobody is stopping people from continuing to scrapbook, but let's face it, not many people do that anyway (I know that I don't). Now, with 0 additional effort on the user's part, he or she will have a digital scrapbook. I think that's pretty cool.

From my understanding, the timeline will feature your most recent activity and then summarize the rest of it. Therefore you only really drill down on the people you're interested in learning more about anyway. If it's just a random coworker, you'll focus on the above-the-fold recent activity.

It really makes sense to me... When you get down to the "show more" link at the end of a friend's profile what you really want is a summary of the important stuff beyond that. It actually reminds me of when you got the bottom of your feed on friendfeed and were presented with a "best of day" link.

I know you were being a bit sarcastic with the history comment, but you can add things to the timeline. So theoretically you could go back add pictures from way before facebook's launch.

The title is a bit sensationalist in my opinion... A slip of 0.3% month over month could be due to a lot of different factors. I'm sure Google is keeping its eye on Bing, but it doesn't seem like a reason to panic. Am I off the mark with this?

I think Jaiku is the more apt comparison, for what it's worth.

This makes a ton of sense to me. Users already trust Google with search and connecting people with airlines has baked-in revenue. This also has tremendous advertising potential. Imagine if local restaurants could target ads at people who will be traveling to the area in the next three months.

Not entirely sure how you're equating Google Wave and Twitter.

I loaded this and thought, "What's the big deal?" I'm sure many people, on many different browsers/platforms/resolutions, thought the same exact thing, which is what makes it so brilliant.

As someone who has always wanted to learn to code, but never set the time aside to teach myself I resonated with this kick in the pants. At some point you have to stop making excuses and do it. I might not agree that google will teach everyone, but there are enough resources out there (friends, family, iTunes U, tutorials etc) that the real deciding factor is whether you dive in or spend your time asking everyone in the pool if the water is cold.

"Local X"

Thanks for the advice. I honestly hadn't thought of securing commitments prior to developing a prototype. But it's definitely better to find out if people are willing to buy prior to investing a substantial amount, if possible.
