Is there a way filter Hugh Pickens DOT Com articles? They're usually just a rehash of something discussed to death, and rarely bring a new point of view. Does nobody else submit content or is Hugh Pickens a slashcode bot...
Photocopier vendors do not open the controller software up to competitors / vendors who provide support. They just give them specs for replacement parts.
Do you force Apple to let 'competitors' support OS X 10.5 on G5 Macs? Do you force Google to let competitors still support Google Wave?
Again do we really expect the target Chromebook consumer to be able to install Linux on them? Chromebooks are meant for mom and dad who can't fend off viruses and updates on their PC...
I think these cloud services are a little different. You probably physically purchased games that are now unplayable because they don't have servers to connect to. Similarly if you bought a Chromebook and Google discontinued the Docs service you'd have purchased a very pretty brick.
I think having to spool the engine up or keep turbo boost is actually kinda fun. Same with rowing my own gears, driving fast should be a involving, I'm not trying to set perfect lap times on the open road:)
Can't argue with the final row of 2 seats, but without that option an M5 is a competitor, similarly priced, and certainly as fun to drive. Especially the previous V10 generation.
Having driven one extensively, it is kinda fun, but not in the sense that a Porsche Cayman is fun. It goes very fast off the line, but it is hard to hide its rather ample weight. Same deal with the Tesla Roadster too, having owned the chassis mate Lotus Exige for several years, the experiences weren't comparable.
Actually the enclosure is what bugs me. It seems clever but not very practical for anything other than display purposes. Though at $2k it pretty much is for collectable purposes only... which is a shame because I really love the idea and would buy a reasonably priced slightly better packaged one in a heart beat.
CDNs are not like a toll road. Think of them as a carpool parking lot. Data is cached within the provider (Comcast), that way it isn't congesting Comcast's transit network. Delivery to the end user *should* be the same priority as anything else. (Doing otherwise is not net neutrality, bad, etc)

A few $100 won't save anyone from the US justice machine. CHOO CHOO
You mean Tesla's problem of already being the safest car money can buy?
That is highly debatable. Please dial back the Tesla circle jerk just a tad.
Samzenpus seems to ask the bulk of the questions. Was there little interest or was this really just so you could interview him yourself?
Yep. I canceled my DK2 preorder. I'd be more than willing to direct those funds to someone else's preorder while my DK1 collects dust.

Ah yes, mis read. :)
No, support will only come for large enterprise customers.
$3500 is a lot to spend on software

Exactly. Maybe it isn't just that I got older...
burning man? really? if you are beyond your early 20s and haven't realized how dumb burning man is....
Totally, that is what you and I would do. But that isn't viable for every Chromebook consumer, or even the majority of them.

No matter who it is, how long it has been around, or what the service is... if it is a cloud service it will one day go away.
Somehow I think we'll find out one day he and Nerval's Lobster were just bots all along, unreleased parts of Slashcode.

Can't say I'm exactly a fan either.

Never ever work for a company where only the CEO has access to the financial records.
I can't tell if this reads like an ad for one of DICE's partners/customers or not...
