Perhaps it is worth more to Apple that a user can download apps and continue the "iPhone lifestyle" than worry about how to fix their device. I personally think that it is not a conflict of interest.

Quite fitting that the <blink> tag originated with the Netscape browser[1] and now is removed in its descendant Firefox.

The idea was first discussed at a bar in Mountain View, CA.

They do, it's called the "Nintendo Seal of Quality" [0]

PigeonRank™[0] is more real than we may once have thought!

And now fixed! Only 48 hours after the leak was detected.

Interesting that they hook-up the "broken" module back into the system for diagnostics.

Also, perhaps it was not obvious, but is there a way to change my password?

White text on a white background should be fixed. Perhaps detect automatically or allow for user customization.

The Super Mario World theme is cool, although super ironic since Objective-C/iPhone is helping to displace the Nintendo Empire.

Yes, Japan has its own way of developing members of society. CBC (Canadian Broadcasting) did a very cool mini series on Japanese schools called "Children Full of Life"[0]. At the very least, I highly recommend everyone to watch part one.

Here[0] is the implementation if anyone is curious.

The problem is not in the routers or operating systems, it's in the applications.

Programmers do not yet know enough about IPv6, nor do they have the drive to learn about it.

This idea could be improved by allowing people to "claim" their spot by logging into Facebook or Twitter, adding a face to an otherwise large number.

Here is a link to the actual data: http://stats.unity3d.com/mobile/index-ios.html

And look at Windows XP! Almost half of the market at 47.7% http://stats.unity3d.com/web/index-win.html

URLs are for Browsers. Go to any asian country where most, if not all of the population, searches for the websites and content they require.

The goal in designing a good URL is in a scheme that allows the site to grow without "abandoning" URLs.

Good effort, although I thought it was interesting that revenues were not included as a metric.

Well, to be fair it was a musical. No comment on the phone itself.

Also, how are you measuring speed? HTTP Download? Where are your servers located?

HOW SPEEDS COMPARE doesn't really mean much. Japan has a higher density of users per square kilometer, so it seems to me that there should be some sort of normalization done to the numbers. I get better speeds in Kyoto (less simultaneous users) than I do in Shibuya (many simultaneous users!)

A lot of history here. Could be worth more than a mere half a million.

Two things that stood-out:

>"Many years later, when NeXT acquired Apple for negative -$400M"

and

>"We would "throw them into the cauldron", and stir it, and soon nobody remembered exactly whose ideas were which. This let us make a great soup, a great potion, without worrying about who had what idea. This was critically important, in retrospect, to decouple the CEO from the ideas."

Hmm, DUNS was discussed in great length recently (4 days ago) on HN[0][1]... Not sure why we need another thread on the topic.

Japan's equivalent of D&B is TEIKOKU DATABANK or TDB[0]. These guys will come by the office and run through a multiple of questions -- if you don't answer them, they will be reflected in their database.

Whenever you get a call from TDB it is both scary and exciting because you know that some major Japanese corporation wants data on your current standing.

Also, registering for a DUNS number here in Japan is very simple because most of the information that they are after is already filed with the government in an easy to access format.

"Ignoring" might be too strong a word here. Licensing is in play, but they are not going after individual infringers.

I have to admit that I misread the title the first go around as "Nuclear Explosion Less than 1 Mil[e outside of ...]" Being at the top of HN did not help much.

While mere speculation, I do not think he is leaving over Maps directly. I personally think there was internal tension over making sir Jony head of leadership and direction for Human Interface and he quit over that -- also there is the possibility that he was perhaps looking to run Apple as CEO at some point but that does not seem to be in the cards.

Here is a video of it in actual use [1] mounted on Austin Meyer's custom built Evo [2]

Some UIX advice: Only Sandy is listed as a current storm, so that should be loaded by default instead of showing an empty map.

Cool -- does it have any sort of sensor array to guide its mobility?
