I've used fogbugz, can't say I was very impressed with the product. Maybe they need to spend more time on that and the product will market itself. Seriously, this is a great example of the wrong way to view a product.

It actually sounds fairly promising. Maybe I read it wrong but didn't like the implication that clients would need to manage and handle connection and routing issues? Maybe that's just part of the fun nosql party.

Yeah, but if most of the world is doing this wouldn't we be losing a vital ability to "protect and insure interests" of country? In the real honest way and not patriot act bs.

Maybe you guys are just clueless about us having real enemies out there or something. No fucking way is FBI or local law enforcement going to be granted anything from NSA for shit. Because it's unlawful.

AT&T isn't the only one to do this. So long as it isn't used against citizens in criminal trials/etc I don't really care all that much if it helps make intelligence people more efficient.

Once method handles come out in java 7 things should get even more exciting.

This is all just BS marketing by Android(with our w/out fanboys).

Pocket Legends is a lame game on iOS. iOS has much better competition for the same genre as Pocket Legends.

The fact that it's doing so well on Android just logically should be embarrassing for Android but if you spin it right I guess it's easy to make it sound like something it isn't. You know, if you're being dishonest to your fellow man/developer doesn't pull your life karma down I guess.

Omg "Pocket Legends"?

You know why it's doing better on Android? Because iOS has much better games in the same genre as pocket legends. Maybe this is just a story about how android users are so desperate for games - any games - that this "ok-ish" game on iOS turned out to be a real windfall for them there. Good for them.

On iOS I'd rather play KnightsRush or battleheart (or the new space game, don't remember the name but it makes pocket legends look like the retarded dos era game that it is) any day.

"One of the contexts we used to validate our solution was scrollable panes rich applications like Eclipse" ..maybe that's only funny to me.

We used JavaSpaces/Jini in an EMRS system during the same period(and also tried GigaSpaces which was best impl) called Frontiers which was at some point used at many hospitals on both coasts.

It did make things very flexible as in we knew we could just start ripping pieces out of the system during testing to make sure every piece was completely autonomous and definitely redundant with data. Also had "agents" in self contained "hot reloadable" classes because we learned about the discarded classloader trick. Man, learned so much fun/crazy stuff at that job.

Biggest issue I had was the idea of communicating data through the actual space which is why message based protocols that handle direct function/method invocation on take are so much easier to deal with and not worry about performance issues.

It sure as shot was fun to play with it in a big enterprise environment for a while though. =)

Omgwtf? So yeah, wow they finally found someone who hit the 10000 limit solution. Maybe they'll make the 10k browser limit turn into a more dynamic/pageable solution and maybe they won't. Choosing to solve browser issue with 10k at the time was probably the right engineering answer to the problem at hand. The solution is complicated and time consuming and time for engineers costs money.

So yeah, just use another enterprise app instead. You don't really have much choice.

It's called adderall, I'm a fan.

F- yeah! This (don't forget to read the other book first - a fire upon the deep) is my third favorite sci fi novel series of all time. Right after foundation series and dune collection.

A must read for all hn readers.

When you say "multiple" and "easy" what exactly is the implication there? Worrying about 5-6 revisions of an API or 30-70 variances of the same problem on multiple pieces of hardware with multiple variances of platform debauchery forced upon you by a given mobile carrier?

It just isn't possible to make the case that this aspect of android doesn't make things harder and still retain any semblance of honesty or credibility.

Thanks, Google. >8/

It does need fixing but you guys don't need to go all overboard hiring people and stuff to get it. It's just what the article said. There was a ~perfect~ analysis some graphic designer/something did of newtwitter where they fixed everything with these slight tweaks to font / headers being more easily picked out of sections and everything else. It was just perfect for this, but fucked if I can find it now. Literally just read it from something here or on reddit yesterday but no search is turning it up. You guys could do this yourselves given a good day or so of tweaking shit.

Really tried hard to find that link, it's there somewhere if someone can search better than me. Tell Gabe jesse said so. =)

This is a really big deal guys, it means nothing at all how comfy we feel knowing google peeps personally. The fact is there is no regulation or oversight dictating how seriously google needs to take our privacy other than random - easily ignored - blips like this. We need government intervention/oversight to make this stuff go away. The gov is already there unofficially anyway, let's not kid ourselves about that. Google gave that little piece away years ago. No us company with that much personal data would be allowed to exist otherwise. I would know, did gigs at bellatlantic long before "it" happened and uncle sam was and always has been there just the same. More about what they're allowed to officially charge you with in court - don't think they couldn't know either way at some level..though probably what they were doing really was in our national best interest. Not judging, just saying..we need offiial public oversight or be left at the mercy of what the corporation decides to do with our data. The same data that provides the overwhelming majority of revenue via advertisers. It's just sick is all.

Still kind of alarming, I mean I do personally know some google employees and none would even remotely consider doing anything like this for both philosophical and practical reasons. Either way it's kind of scary that some douche fucker "quality assurance" dweeb had enough access to do this kind of thing.

I think we ought to have some kind of equivalent HIPPA act for ALL data personally identifiable to us, not just in medical contexts. That'd put the fire under googles ass enough to take our privacy seriously. Fuck Eric Schmidt and his "change your name at 18" bullshit. We know who that fucker is right now.
