"one giant leap for iOs .... One small step for Android"

Google+

Recomendo a leitura https://plus.google.com/112678702228711889851/posts/eVeouesvaVX sobre o "produto" Google+, escrito por Steve Yegge (um elemento Google), no que supostamente era para ser um post interno, e não público.

tl;dr;

• "That one last thing that Google doesn't do well is Platforms. We don't understand platforms. We don't "get" platforms. Some of you do, but you are the minority. This has become painfully clear to me over the past six years. I was kind of hoping that competitive pressure from Microsoft and Amazon and more recently Facebook would make us wake up collectively and start doing universal services. Not in some sort of ad-hoc, half-assed way, but in more or less the same way Amazon did it: all at once, for real, no cheating, and treating it as our top priority from now on."

• "Google+ is a prime example of our complete failure to understand platforms from the very highest levels of executive leadership (hi Larry, Sergey, Eric, Vic, howdy howdy) down to the very lowest leaf workers (hey yo). We all don't get it."

• "The Google+ platform is a pathetic afterthought. We had no API at all at launch, and last I checked, we had one measly API call."

• "Google+ is a knee-jerk reaction, a study in short-term thinking, predicated on the incorrect notion that Facebook is successful because they built a great product. But that's not why they are successful. Facebook is successful because they built an entire constellation of products by allowing other people to do the work. So Facebook is different for everyone. Some people spend all their time on Mafia Wars. Some spend all their time on Farmville. There are hundreds or maybe thousands of different high-quality time sinks available, so there's something there for everyone."

• "The problem is that we are trying to predict what people want and deliver it for them...

• You can't do that. Not really. Not reliably. There have been precious few people in the world, over the entire history of computing, who have been able to do it reliably. Steve Jobs was one of them. We don't have a Steve Jobs here. I'm sorry, but we don't."

• "And also don't get me wrong about Google+. They're far from the only offenders. This is a cultural thing. What we have going on internally is basically a war, with the underdog minority Platformers fighting a more or less losing battle against the Mighty Funded Confident Producters."

• "It's everyone. The problem is that we're a Product Company through and through. We built a successful product with broad appeal -- our search, that is -- and that wild success has biased us."

•  "I'm not saying it's too late for us, but the longer we wait, the closer we get to being Too Late." 

TIL - Dark Side of the Rainbow

Dark Side of the Rainbow (also known as Dark Side of Oz or The Wizard of Floyd) refers to the pairing of the 1973 Pink Floyd music album The Dark Side of the Moon with the visual portion of the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz. This produces moments where the film and the album appear to correspond with each other. 

... 

Band members and others involved in the making of the album state that any relationship between the two works of art is merely a coincidence.

piracy @ dropbox

http://razorfast.com/2011/04/25/dropbox-attempts-to-kill-open-source-project/

tl:dr

"Somewhere on a Dropbox server is a file that you want. Normally the file's owner would have to share that file with you in order for it to appear in your Dropbox. But if you know the hash of file you can trick Dropbox into thinking you already have the file and are just adding it to your Dropbox. Apparently Dropbox notices they already have that file, and instead of you uploading it they just make it appear in your account. Then you can download it."

Dropbox's CTO and cofounder, Arash Ferdowsi, did not like Dropship .... contacted him soon after and requested "in a really civil way" that he take the project off of github.
