I want to see some (or a lot of?) chat history offline, and then send msgs while offline. I don't want it to scan the network, delay loads, or blow up in any way just because the network is down. Think about the Whatsapp or Telegram experience, as opposed to Slack or Facebook Messenger. If you are in and out of the subway, or in elevators, or just where there are spotty networks, the mobile experience blows for anything but the super popular and consumery chat services.

Unlike the people who can't figure out why this is better than IRC, I find a ton of value in your project. After leaving Campfire, moving to Kato, and then settling with Slack, I am really unhappy with the Slack mobile experience.

Hrm.. I did the same thing last week.

OXO Good Grips Brushed Stainless Steel Ladle Sold by Amazon.com LLC (Amazon.com) $9.99

I love that they are getting bigger. I had a big issue with the Galaxy Note vs Galaxy Nexus. The Note's 5"+ screen sold me, but the button configuration was last generation (android 2.x), and no ICS, and not the pure Google experience.

HP, ignoring the disaster that they are, really were headed down the right path. A tiny phone, a large phone, and a tablet. Over the years, you could totally see that large phone getting larger and the tiny phone getting even smaller. Great for both me and you. Too bad they went and screwed everything up.

For a plate you will remove a few times in the life of the phone, it's a strange reason for killing the deal.

I agree, it is very cheap feeling, but it also feels thin and snug because it is a useless piece of shell.

You know, ideally, it'd be paper thin, but just as effective as holding in the battery/sim.

Official? You mean you WANT a carrier to sell you a phone?

The GSM model overseas is Google-official, it's just not here now and who knows when it will be. I got mine from Expansys, it came with English everything as well as a US plug.

You need MTP stuff -- mtp-tools. The newest Amarok or Rhythmbox w/ plugin should work fine.

The Nexus unified the filesystem, and therefore cant give USB block-level access. MTP was the only way to go unless you want to have a separate partition, which leads to the terrible 'is the app on local or on sd?' situation.

Here is the situation described: http://www.electronista.com/articles/11/11/19/galaxy.nexus.f...

For mac users, you want this tool: http://www.android.com/filetransfer/

After having the Galaxy Nexus for 2 weeks, the phone no longer feels large in my hands, but the Nexus S it replaced looks ancient and pathetically tiny/low-resolution.

Google is really letting Verizon screw this up. First no Wallet, then Verizon apps on phone, and now that the LTE model is released, we find that the GSM model is cheaper to import than the Verizon LTE model is to buy without contract.

The GSM model also happens to be pentaband 3g, so it works with TMobile and AT&T in the US. I've been using mine on TMobile for 2 weeks now, bought for about $730 from Expansys.

And yes, it is awesome. Just make sure you unlock the bootloader immediately, so you dont have to wipe it later if you choose to unlock then.

Bah.. stagnation is not worthy of being called life.

I love vim because it is the best. I can't use anything else because nothing else works like it.

I hate vim because it has stopped advancing. It has not had a good update for 5 years.

May 7, 2006 7.0 Spell checking, code completion, tab pages (multiple viewports/window layouts), current line and column highlighting, undo branches, and more

May 12, 2007 7.1 Bug fixes, new syntax and runtime files, etc.

August 9, 2008 7.2 Floating point support in scripts, refactored screen drawing code, bug fixes, new syntax files, etc.

August 15, 2010 7.3 Lua support, Python3 support, Blowfish encryption, persistent undo/redo

We are all still waiting for various types of extensibility, even though they been in the top 5 sponsored requests for over almost 15 years. I normally wouldn't be complaining about free software, but vim is donationware.

there is so much wrong with this video.

purple/magenta != pink

pink != all - green

pink == red + some more of everything else (white)

we do not see x rays, gamma rays, etc, as "pink"

very little conceptual difference. In practice however, Berkelium is really really immature. The API is much weaker, things like Flash may or may not work. The install is not as clean. I guess that's the difference between a small cost to a corporation vs free.

I realize that hobbyists would prefer free, but that's ok, since Berkelium is open enough that they can fix it.

We make the Sooloos line of products. They compose a music management solution that currently sells in the high end market (luxury, hifi, audiophile, etc..)

Our product is far too expensive right now for most people. We are in the middle of executing a plan to create a budget appliance and a free piece of software to expand past our current markets. This requires some additional features that must be implemented to ensure success (social features, offline mobile players, more 'remote control' on devices people already own, etc..).

When we started, it was not possible to bring our product to the masses because the computer resources required to create a great experience were not common place. Thats why we built an appliance. The last 2 generations of hardware have been capable, so it's now possible to bring our vision to the masses.

We are hiring 4 developers, and here are some of the things we would like to see in developers:

c# (msft on windows & mono on osx, linux) opengl (windows and osx) c/c++ linux social networking experience server side experience client app experience ui sensibilities design sense iphone/ipad android a passion for music

The above are nice to haves, and not requirements. Smart, experienced, and passionate development history is more important.

Our work environment is very focused on fast execution, while providing a great lifestyle. Our team is spread out over the globe (NYC, SF, Bangkok, UK) and tiny (3 developers + 2 designers). We live inside the Meridian Audio umbrella, but we are responsible for the Sooloos line. You would work wherever you wanted to live. We have a small concentration in NYC, but NYC is not a requirement. Our management style is very relaxed and it will require you to be great while not being micromanaged. You must be a great communicator (in English), especially online. Fast typing and familiarity with online communication mechanisms is required.

We will also hire consultants to do a few projects we have been able to isolate as good for short term consultancy work.

You can read about our existing products in many reviews on the internet. Here are a few:
