Problem is mr. brain your traffic still goes through the ISP. A simple inline bridge which most of them run btw gives them full access to your traffic. I don't care what you are running on your client that packet still has to reach the internet and when it does it is visible to the ISP.
That explains his attitude with "OSS" that he printed on his open source word press blog. I do have to hand it to him though he certainly knows how to drive traffic to his site.
Really I could give two shits about the article and or Diaspora in general. I am not going to write a open source bingo card creator package simply because I have better things to do with my time. However if this "controversy traffic driving article" had really struck a nerve with me I would have already been working on it. Not that it is going to stop anyone else from writing one, it looks like the author may have gone a little far and it just may come back to bite him.
I have a day off tomorrow and it sounds like a simple project with a nobel cause. I am thinking a online version of the "bingo card creator" written on google app engine and just for good measure a version for facebook, the iphone, ipad and droid all gpl of course.
Simple read the blog a bit the author is a crap ware distributor and he probably commissioned the article. Not that it matters much but if I you are really pissed about it crank up a compiler with a couple of dictionary files and write a open source version of his fantastic "bingo card printing software". If you take your time, a couple of hours at most I am sure you can top what he is charging 30 bucks for.
Read the authors blog just a bit, I am not really sure the guy even wrote this article he may have had it commissioned. The author is a crapware distributor and this article is nothing more than a attempt at driving traffic to his site which worked. Now his claim to fame is some "bingo card printing software for teachers".
A few minutes with a compiler and a few dictionary files will show him exactly what "Open Source" is good for. I could really care less about what he wrote but if I was pissed about it there would be a new open source bingo card printing software package released within the next two hours.
Jobs is correct, IOS owns the mobile smart phone market. He who owns the games will own the market. Android is enjoying a little bit of growth right now due to creative marketing but that is only going to last so long. Google is paying the price in more ways than one already (lawsuits, performance issues, battery life etc) for going with a jvm based system.
I quit reading as soon as I ran into the comments by the VP of Tata Consulting. The article pretty much lost any sort of credibility right at that point.
"But I'm sure we'll see they pushing Solaris a lot more now."
I am not sure what fantasy world you live in but every large enterprise I have experience with are getting rid of Solaris as fast as they possibly can.
Back in the day when I used to wrench on cars I only used Snap-On tools. I could have bought craftsman tools for half the price so why didn't I? Snap-On tools are expensive as hell but the quality is just a tad bit better than craftsman. Rounding off a single nut in some hard to get at spot with a craftsman wrench could easily cost me 4-5 hrs hell and lost labor. I no longer wrench on cars but I still make my living with tools, enjoy your craftsman while I make a living with a Mac.
Exactly I have no desire for flash on my device, I have more friends than I can count that own iphones and not a single one has ever said a peep about flash missing from the device. In fact as a developer I am happy with Apple making it just as difficult as possible for flash to work on the device.
Sounds good to me I am a iphone developer and have no desire to port any of my stuff to android. In fact it is not even possible for me to port and or recreate from scratch since android is not capable of running the physics while maintaining acceptable frame rate.
I have no desire at all to write android apps, mainly because I am a java hater. Yes I know it is still possible to run native code but it still requires interaction with jni leading to a bastardized app. Now I would not hesitate to write a android app that performed some simple task such as a data bound app but for something that requires actual performance I am quite happy to run the other way.
What I would like to see apple do is to add performance to it's application review process. Say for instance you app does not boot to a stable runnable state in 10 seconds it gets disapproved. Same goes for memory usage and and processor load. That would solve the whole "user experience" goal that they claim to have. Of course it would keep most of the interpreted apps, flash, java etc off of the phone but I have no problem with that. On one hand I would like to have to option to use interpreted languages on the device on the other hand I know that for performance reasons it is not the way to go.
I had the same thought myself since a hadoop cluster running a map reduce job has a very specific problem space that it solves. The processing of a singular large dataset in a short period of time across a large number of nodes. It is a simple matter to fire up a processing job across say one thousand nodes in parallel. The problem hadoop solves is the distribution of the data as well as accumulation of those results in a efficient manner.
I have been out of the military for quite some time but I don't see how your suggestions would help the matter anyhow. Sure there are some talented enlisted people that would more than be capable of handling the situation but the military command structure is no designed for that. Anyone worth a squat is not going to be doing anything more meaningful than cleaning a tank with a toothbrush. DOD contractors are no better they work for the govt because no one else want's them.

Ditch Symbian, grab a copy of android os, rip the silly jvm out of it and put on a good native high performance interface and count me in.
Absolutely, I have a really kick ass score on WOW, if my mom would just let me play it more I would be the best.

I don't run anything coded with Ruby on any machine, problem solved.

Plenty of speculation in the article, "facts" however are completely missing.

The horror, they used map reduce instead of a acid compliant database server.
"Defined by tech specs- CPU, camera, memory, etc", however keep in mind there is a jvm burning a quarter of that cpu, battery and memory capability.
Who is this Microsoft that you speak of?
Good thing you didn't it may have jacked up your copy and paste buffer.

I disagree with nearly every single response that you made.
