How would one do this research?

It's very hard to understand how services operate until there is a failure?

This is a crazy thing to be saying at a time when everyone is questioning the price and performance of Surface.

Don't get me wrong. Surface looks good. But what is the impression after a week of use? Does the cheaper model compete effectively with the $400 iPad2? Does the more expensive model compete with an Ultrabook?

Really. Innovation is about competitiveness as much as ideas. And if the Surface is over priced without being as useful, then Ballmer's comments are embarrassing.

Agreed.

I think they have gone quite carefully on iCloud.

Beyond that, actual UI enhancements are minimal.

It's more iClouding Apps. Or App improvements. Less to do with the OS itself.

So the web doesn't work.

And it will never work in the future.

Despite the fact mobile devices are getting more and more powerful.

And mobile browsers and getting faster and faster javascript and rendering engines.

Just do everything native. Build it for Android. Then for iOS. Then for Windows Phone. Spend lots of money doing that. Because everything must be native.

The web is dead. Cross platform web content is a dead end. It never worked!

Really.

How stable is the PostGIS beta? Anyone using it

Most of our beta-testers have been using it just fine. We had one unlucky soul who encountered several pernicious bugs over a long period, but at this point I think they're all sewn up.

Ironically this sites security certificate is not trusted, according to my browser.

Just use textmate. Lots of us love vim.

Hmm, this doesn't seem to upload direct to S3?

I love this, but I wish you have a twitter feed so I can keep track/reminded of your site :)
