Everything you just stated is gimmick. Physical keyboards are over. And the "true multitasking" sort of works (pretty much as well as Anroid) only because they bolted 2GB of RAM onto the thing. BlackBerry are dead. The OS looks like amateur

Except they're both clueless about battery use in planes.

There are features that are worth shipping, and there are "look at me" features. This the latter.

Welcome to HN. Where we state opinions as fact and anecdotes as truth, usually with some hand wavey out in case we're called on BS. :)

You don't know how pricing infrastructure works. Just because Utah doesn't know how to run public transit doesn't mean no one else can and do so with decent financials.

We've tried switching from GH Enterprise to Stash (because of the $5000 thing, which pisses me off and makes me feel like I'm being ripped off at the same time!), but it's really "not there yet". The file browser sucks, the repo management

Please don't listen to the idiots telling you to charge a one-off fee for SaaS. You're not 37signals and unless you have a couple of million burning a hole in your pocket, you should be charging reasonable subscription fees.

There's nothing innovative about a bad business model. One-time forever pricing for a service which costs you ongoing money to run is suicide unless you're subsidizing it somehow. You have to have a subscription Basecamp account to buy the

You missed the obvious reason: Money. Lots and lots of money.

Safari 6 is excellent. Faster than Chrome on OS X.

"Her prospects look grim. Rep. Darrell Issa (R., Calif.)"... And that's when everyone should stop reading. Issa is a tea party loon.

Boeing would be over if they decided to kill the 787 -- there's literally no way that's going to happen. Why would they kill it? The problems really aren't that bad and are being blown way out of proportion. They'll have a fix for this with

The problem is that this is a link to DataStax. :)

I don't know if this is heretical to say, but when I think about services that people should look up to in terms of architecture, I don't think of Netflix. See all the downtime they have despite the 1000 posts on their blog about how wonder

Yes, then you start thinking about the workload of the average webapp...

Sigh. Let's blame video games and mental illness instead of tackling the real problem. This is going to work out great.

Article is full of misinformation and not facts. The problem with covering engineering issues in planes is that journalists have no idea what the hell they're writing about.

I don't know how you can say it's "performant as hell" when it's actually slower than even MySQL for simple selects.

Serious question: are people really still using Cassandra? I've only ever heard horror stories about big deployments, and the only posts about it come from DataStax.

Needs support for a list of items (like PayPal shopping cart API functionality), not just one item.

Wow. You're making your company look like complete idiots here, to be honest. "cant replicate it" directly to the customer in a 3 word non-sentence from the co-founder? Really? From what's supposed to be a "customer service" company? WTF? T

While I agree with you in that San Francisco is nowhere near "global city" status (I don't know what people are thinking when they say stuff like this), unfortunately this is where most of the tech world is. So you're going to get articles

The problem is that the article isn't worth even reading because of the source. It's like linking to the AEI or Heritage Foundation or some US Chamber of Commerce stuff. You know what you're going to get, and there's no point wasting cycles
