Re: Tesla delays some US deliveries to next year in end-of-year rush

There's no doubt in my mind that when you refused to take delivery or cancelled your order, whichever it was, that they re-sold that vehicle pretty quickly.

Re: Tesla delays some US deliveries to next year in end-of-year rush

This doesn't make any sense, if you ordered "months" in advance, you'd be getting a car before the end of year. I ordered mid-October and got my vehicle mid-December [they estimated 8-10 weeks and hit 8-weeks]. There seems to be a small window of people who ordered in the beginning of December who were promised pre-end of year delivery and aren't getting it, but it seems like you gave THEM a deadline? That's just not how this works, and if they didn't explain that to you, then that's unfortunate for sure. Not sure where all the rage is coming from, if you already have another car picked out then so be it.

Re: T-Mobile Un-carrier Next will build taxes and fees into One plan, KickBack will credit low data usage

This also makes TMo1 more in-line with SimpleChoice for single-line customers such as myself. If I stay below 2GB/month most of the time, this brings the TMo1 price to basically the same as the SC-with-no-added-data plan is currently

Re: T-Mobile launching Internet of Things Access packs that bundle wireless data and modules

To help explain this (hopefully) as there seems to be some confusion -- this is intended for little sensors and whatnot. Think about devices like the Automatic plug-in module for cars (it just pings the server once per car ride with your GPS locations/some status updates).

Another example would be something like a temperature or motion sensor... Something that maybe reports a few bits/bytes a couple of times and hour, or only when it's status/state changes.

These things require very little bandwidth since the payloads are so small. There's a ton of opportunity for these in industrial and agriculture outside of the home as well (eg no wifi or bluetooth).

Steve, (may I call you that?) your products have changed the way a generation lives, works, and interacts. The Apple vision and execution is second to none and can never be replaced. I hope you get well soon, we'll be waiting!.

Congratulations, I'm excited to see you all moving so quickly to expand both the reach of Disqus but also the content on your publishers' web sites.

Re: Google Maps Gets a (Much-Needed) URL Shortener

Jonathan Coffman — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 18:05:02 -0000

This is a much appreciated feature -- sharing Maps and Directions via URL has always been a bit of a crap-shoot, even in email because of various clients trying to parse the uber-long links. Thanks GMaps team!

Seems to have been taken down as the link is broken and searching the App Store doesn't seem to return the proper results. I'll have to try again later.

This show was amazing, and I certainly voted for my favorite episode (Competition). I think the theme song should be a ringtone that I can put on my iPhone...

This is a great resource, I plan to pass this one out.

I like the book club idea, there's a fair amount of case studies, whitepapers, articles, etc being created right now and it'd be great to have a place to discuss thoughts on those items. This is definitely on our list of potential extensions!

Re: Showtime’s Dexter and Californication Now Playing on YouTube

The article implies that these are edited versions of the show, because you're right YT wouldn't allow the adult-ish content.

It's all rights issues, it takes a lot of work - and a lot of money - to clear clips, actors, music, etc for non-US audiences. The big media companies see online distribution as a high-risk activity still (ha!), and international online distro is even more complicated.

I'd love to create an account for @pbs, which I manage. How might I go about getting an account setup?

Re: Foursquare: will it be bigger than Twitter?

Jonathan Coffman — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 23:48:26 -0000

With GPS, they're checking vicinity, but otherwise there's definitely a bit of trust on the side of Foursquare for people just using the mobile web to checkin.

Certainly would require some additional "privacy" settings huh? Maybe a real reputation system too? (ie No interns messing with your meds!)

Louis, exactly. The current players aren't showing many signs of doing anything truly disruptive (ie disrupt the iPhone) it's going to take much more than an open-source platform, much more than fancy push-email, and much more than multi-touch (although I think multi-touch is here to stay).

I'd say that in many respects, Microsoft is further along in "getting it" as far as social type technologies go (case in point the xBox) -- Google just hasn't been able to get their fingers into the space very effectively yet. They undoubtedly will, but for now the point goes to MS.

Re: Can a School Library Be Replaced by E-Readers? Apparently, it Can

Jonathan Coffman — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 10:33:02 -0000

Totally agree, this model works for a school but wouldn't be possible for your local library. (not to mention the theft issues - imagine the chains the local public library would need just to keep the e-readers in the building)
