This is seriously cool! this really brought up some very fond memories of a movie I really really like. Thanks for posting.

Growing up I always like the UX they had for things in star-trek TNG. Back then in the nineties touch based interfaces were really something out of a sci-fi movies, and now 20 years later they're commonplace, which gets me to the point - is there anyone working on a starr trek like JS UX framework? That would be so cool!

A vey interesting post. I'm actually excited about the ability to pa by mail and in general paying for things online in a more convenient way than having to create accounts at all these web sites and then having to fill my personal and payment details. Having said that, I do agree with the author that indeed we are moving (albeit sometimes too slowly to realize) into a more passive state of existence where more is done for us and we sometime loss some of the subtle qualities of human connections. Having siad that - what can you do? progress is progress and while we might feel sentimental sometime we have no option or alternative but to adapt ourselves to it.

Thanks for putting this up. I'd be very intrested to know if anyone has ever done a similar test with Azure?

I wish more companies would go down that road of actively encouraging the community to hack their products. There's a certain degree you need to have in your product to do this. I guess a lot of big companies don't have the kind of culture which would allow this to happen, regardless of the good it would do to the product.

Can all products be measured according to just 3/4 metrics? Are there any examples of tech products out there we use today who we can't?

I'm pretty sure there were a lot of businesses who banned cell phones 10 years ago. We'll wait and see how Glass goes.

It's a good call for action, but from my own experiences the cost of rebuilding things (time,money,breaking stuff) is so great, and there's no real incentive for anyone within the company to do so. On the bright side - this does open a window for new enterprise start ups to redo these kind of systems and win over large and legacy software.

Rossie's hand are hilarious. Too bad I don't at sausages.. I'll gladly wait for the pastry cook version though

They probably want us to treat it as a feature :)

For me once I went with the Sublime texteditor there was no going back.

Having worked in the industry for a while, my rubber duck is quite educated by now. I find he understands most of the applications I write (it wasn't so in the beginning!) and at times makes very helpful suggestions, although I'm loath to admit I don't always give him the positive feedback he so deserves.

I bless (and curse) my high school math teacher for the insane amount of homework he gave us. Thanks mr. Rappaport!

im pretty sure Cook got like a $400m grant to vest over 10y when he got started. Anyways, I do hope for Elop he's getting paid in cache and not stock.

Should I be creeped out by this? (hope not...)

The hardware looks great. The thing that bugs me about the pixel and chrome OS in general, is that I don't know a lot of people who can manage their day by day work using only web apps (no office, photoshop, autocad, eclipse, whatever). Web based replacements are good, but just not as good as desktop creation apps, and I'm still not even sure they need to be. The point is most people need win/Mac/Linux software and for the ones who don't (like my mom) - just get an iPad. Then again, I might be completely wrong here.
