The USP of Evernote isn't that you can take notes from anywhere as much as anything can be a note (An audio clip, your current location, a picture etc) and that can be very well organised, grouped and saved in the cloud and offline on demand.
It's basically a "database" for the non techies: Save everything in there and query by tags, organise by books or search in the content and meta data.
I'd imagine, all of this is written in Javascript and compiled/rendered with v8.
But they are the venture invested company now. Need to show returns 10 to 100x the investment in a few years.
An experienced lock smith could open an average house hold lock in probably minutes. (not to forget most people are neither skilled lock smiths nor photoshop editors)
That doesn't mean a locked home isn't secure. Most people would never think about breaching such a social contract and breaking in locks.
If one wants to break in or if one wants to lie, one can always do. Most people would never do; for the rest, it is a different problem really.
Great read!
This generation is going to be rewrite in Javascript/v8, everything that can be written in Javascript.

Greeks celebrated such great thinkers. Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Galileo Galilei, Nicolaus Copernicus, Francis Bacon and Michael Servetus were all amazing polymaths. - They had expertise in Math, Engineering, Philosophy, Art, Finance. (Perhaps not marketing because such a thing didn't exist back then.)
There have been such multi disciplinary experts in the world and I'm sure there continue to be. But they are rare and often found pursuing interest in one of the areas.
If you can understand tech there is no reason you cannot understand sales and vice versa. - In fact being blind to an alternative point of view isn't even a feature of a man of class. And if you can understand it, why can't you think the same way.
- Among this group, the number of people who were tagged linux was about a fourth: https://github.com/becomingGuru/usesthis_analysis/blob/maste... I did not do a distro distribution. That is good feedback. I will find out.
Since designers hardly use linux, and since half the people are developers, it may be safe to assume half the developers interviewed by The Setup use Linux.
I am saying you should rather already be using this now, than doing it later, given you'd be doing it anyway. (from PG, above.)
Perhaps there are other slugs "gvim" and the like, which also have a 2 each users.
I will verify this and let you know. Meanwhile pointing to any 3 vim users would help me debug this.
- None of the values are the %. They are the actual number of people that said they use that ware. About 70 people said they use iphone 4 and about 40 people said they use the apple keyboard.
- "keyboard" is a slug used for the Apple Keyboard. Half the people that were interviewed wanted to explicitly mention that they use that keyboard.
- No one provided the interviewees with a set of names to tick if they used that hardware or software. In that case you'd have a comprehensive set of user-wares from which you could get the accurate info. I'd detest such an interview. I can not imagine why all of these people wouldn't.
- What we have is a free form text where in the interviewee says whatever he's allowed to. When he says he uses a Mac, there is no reason why he'd also say he uses osx. - That would be redundant.
- If people are asked what they like to consume, no one mentions water or cereals or vegetables, even though everyone has it. What is mentioned is the particular dish or a cuisine that they actually want you to know that makes them feel better. Likewise here, google reader actually helps a lot of these people and they want to share it with the readers.
- It is much more what people like themselves to be associated with. Seth Godin has written a lot about it. People say Google reader much more than mail because they want to be associated with using it. "mail" here, btw is the slug to the actual Apple-Mail client.
Hope it helps set a perspective on how this should be read.
Clearly Google docs solves the problem of versioning and sharing quite well and that probably resonates with a lot of folks in stark contrast to how they have to share a excel or word document and struggled to keep the versions updated.
