I think you are overlooking the fact he is focusing on the built up "expectation". It's perfectly obvious the media (social and news) went OTT with this story, but the follow up reality check fell flat. That's his angle.

1. By all reports Google is shying away from Android. 2. Apple losing market share to hoards of cheap spam-ware phones? I'm sure Google isn't as excited about this as you think.

You could always move to Windows 8.1 I'm grateful they took security so seriously.

Yes I'd like to know too. As the top post mentions, the documentation really needs to hightlight the benefits over established popular libraries.

Not sure how a basic tutorial makes it to the homepage?

I wish http://www.mapbox.com/ was a little cheaper so it could be a viable alternative for smaller startups. Love Google Maps. Hate that they dominate this important space so heavily.

Gaming the ranking system. That's Apples #1 concern. Don't panic over the other issues listed. For example, AppGratis tried to rally developer sympathy by claiming this rule was being used : "Apps that are not very useful, unique, are simpl

Is the guy in the brown top meant to be walking away WITHOUT a backpack? Because I can't see either way. He looks like me MIGHT still have a backpack on. Also the backpack seems small based on what's meant to be in it?

Just as an aside, how good is Heroku's Postgres performance, speed wise?

"Why I hate earning a living" ... because they expect me to work! "Why I hate doing a marathon" ... because I have to run! "Why I hate eating food" ... because I have to cook! Seriously, this guy should find something better to do with his

Sorry for the naive question... But does this help Heroku's woes?

Turbo links is more suited to traditional web pages. Backbone for single page mini-apps.

Yes. And this refers to the interface. In the past there were touch interfaces that were fiddly and required a pen to interact. Jobs believed that was a poor interface. For example, the new Office 365 for Windows still has loads of awkwardl

I like Javascript. It took me some time to fully understand it, but it is rewarding. Coffeescript feels to me like the icing on the cake for anyone who understands what the resulting JS will function like.

Agreed. You only need to look at Google Play's lack of privacy to realise they see the user as a consuming resource. At least Apple treats you more like the owner of your purchase, rather than something to drive ads with data.

Apple has been quiet. Mini-fying devices doesn't quite cut it as innovation. Although Apple is doing it exceptionally well. But just because they aren't releasing anything monthly, and in 10 different form factors, does not mean they aren't

Wish people would stop depending on jQuery. Old browsers can default to a normal form input.

Fast is one thing. BUT I'd much rather get rid of the "this link has expired" syndrome. Fast is only impressive if the results are modern.

Except this doesn't help a large (compared to erlang) real world user base of Ruby and Rails.

And example of what is confusing... $69 to reserve an instance for a year. But that is for "light utilization"?! What does it mean to reserve and instance, but to commit to light usage? And if you are expecting heavy usage, the price goes u

For example, a small instance is $69/yr for 1.7GB of memory, with additional hourly costs that are quite low This is very economical compared to Heroku, and most startups can survive on that initially if they cache properly. But if there is
