95% of the time, I wondered what problem Google Wave was trying to solve. But that 5% of the problem where it was the sweet spot was amazing.

I can speak to the performance issues. I use this on a very javascript laden website, and I've noticed absolutely zero performance hits as a result of running.

People far smarter than me have been saying for a long time that if you make the price of the content more reasonable and make it far easier to get, most people wouldn't bother to pirate. I have no idea about the numbers, but it's

These are all fine uses of the word. However, when you use the word "veto" in the context of the President, it implies a certain set of actions that have taken place. It actually encourages people to think those events took place

Point of order. This isn't a veto. A veto is for legislation, this is fully contained within the executive branch.

I think I read that differently. I read it that they gathered the data, put together the spreadsheet and hosted on a .gov address. Is there an article that is more clear about that?

It may just be the "this is the way we've done it in America" in me talking. But I'd probably be OK if we at least had some sort of instant runoff voting, or something similar which didn't make the voter strategize between choosing a candi

Given the length of this piece on just a small part of the book, I think you'd end up with encyclopedic tomes about Steve Jobs + Apple. This may not be a bad thing, but it would be a huge thing.

That is the attitude of all the people who later look at a either a working process, or a working product and say, "damn, why didn't I think of that?"

I find it interesting that you're basically calling for them to do almost exactly what they did with PalmOS back in the day. Technically that company still exists, so PalmOS still exists, but I can't remember the last time I saw a PalmOS d

The system is flawed. However, the system also does some very good work by forcing more work into smaller companies. I have had the pleasure of working for two companies doing business with the government. One doing research through the S

I also live in Minneapolis, and I see a very different thing in the social media realm than the original author. It seems to me that when someone gets a smartphone, the first thing they do is install the facebook app and then start using f

A membership in a coworking location in DC runs about $300 month, and you don't have a dedicated desk, at least in the place that I was a member. However, the social interaction of the place and other amenities made it worth the cost (if f

The supporters of history rarely get the credit for the work they put in. It is the person who was there when the final blow was struck that gets most of the credit. Apple shouldn't get all the credit for creating tablet computers. They s

In hindsight, it might have been cheaper to buy them outright than to litigate a battle like this. Then again, they're going to have some undisclosed settlement, so we'll never really know how it ends up. I'm guessing they didn't buy them

Jonathan Schwartz had a great article about patents and IP where he relayed some stories about the stand offs between companies with regards to patents. Seems very relevant here: http://jonathanischwartz.wordpress.com/2010/03/09/good-art

Actually, it is something outside of the control of Google. Admittedly, they made the right choices to allow the OS to spread (I was going to say easier, but really they allowed it to spread at all). This didn't mean, however, that anyone
