Other than multiple HD streams and telepresence type stuff I am at a loss for ideas that don't completely ignore efficiency of the traffic. Certainly, I can saturate a 1Gbps link, but I can typically do the same with less bandwidth. You'll probably see a lot more of consumer cloud based computing and such assuming the latency and whatnot is also solved in the process.

Also, the bounty scheme has largely failed in the open source world, perhaps because they bounties never saw $450,000, and I personally doubt the model could be effectively applied to an even smaller team.

Sure, many people would like to have more money, but sadly there is a lot of devwork that is of little 'financial value' that has to be done and that would surely suffer with such a system in place, driving the overall quality lower as it doesn't create a sense of improving the product, instead pushing for being awarded the largest or best bounty.

It seems they've managed to roll up what a lot of others were doing into a seemly nicely integrated package. I would like to think that this will give location based networks the push they need to become more mainstream.

However, if you applied relative rankings for the individual items from each engine and aggregated them into a single results page instead of multiple "framed" result sections, you might have something I would actually want to use. This would also overcome many of the usability and UI problems I find issue with.

It certainly has potential to become something.

However, seems like he doesn't really understand how to use Git if github being down is barring him from doing his job or deploying his work. Having a single point of failure while using a distributed version control system is incompetence on the developer more so thann it is a problem github being down. Github provides you a lot of nice features and fancy web based interfaces and some social aspect to coding, but to rely solely on it shows a lack of understanding and removes many of the benefits git provides a developer.

Although, the facebook platform is being treated like a first class citizen with this new design which is good for developers and "facebook startups." Also, seems like they are gearing up for an agressive play in "real-time search" with the search bar so front and center.

What is important is that the IMAP protocol isn't difficult, and I don't think that is what limits "email innovation." It is more so that it has been around since the 70s and email clients haven't been able to remove themselves from their past. It isn't the protocol limiting them from moving forward, it is the shear number of other clients that wouldn't support any of the "innovations" one would try to bring to email.

Honestly, he seems very down to earth and genuinely happy. I also like how he doesn't have a problem constantly checking his email unlike all these productivity blogs and such saying its the worst thing you could ever do. I feel my behavior is somewhat vindicated in being one of those differences that doesn't really make a difference.

At A Glance is the typical big name retail company that manufactures these types of things.

With that said, I don't think google has any real interest in being a carrier, as that isn't where they make their money. They can leverage the mobile network much like the internet and continue to make their truck load of money via targeted ads.

And I don't see how they article or title infers anything about the state of tech as others have mentioned other than that it says Silicon Valley. While this term is typically used to describe the tech industry in the area it has become a more generic term for the south bay. The article makes it clear that it is a real estate problem and that some tech companies are benefiting from the over-speculation.

Sorry JSCrypto team, while your implementation is awesome and all, you are doing it wrong.
