According to this image, they are already planning to remove the fixed plastic buttons. http://guides.macrumors.com/images/7/74/Gesture11.png

@Jason Hoffman

Where’s ps pipe grep?

I could make a comment about how this is in typical Joyent fashion, but I won’t.

Com’n guys – the community loves you guys so much and want the best for you but when you give a release date, stick to it. At least give an update on what’s going on.

Dare I ask about: TextPanel, Jill’s Team, Solaris on Shared Hosting, etc…

@ Douglas. We’re back on ps pipe grep tomorrow (Tuesday). We had the holidays + busy + the real reason (technical sound quality issues with the last two recordings that we’ve fixed).

Without spoiling the fun chat….

Dave and Jason: Where is the next episode of ps|grep? And have you stopped the comic?

About the fixed buttons; I wonder what this means for notebooks. Imagine running Garaband and getting an actual keyboard to play on. And Apple has already filed patents for this kind of stuff.

When you look at that in the context of the iPhone, things get very interesting.

FWIW, there are some interesting comments lately on the previous post.

hrmph, I thought we were talking about the UI design of the new iPhone vs traditional UI design of cell phone devices?

I wish someone told me we’d be measuring our penis’s, I’d have brought my measuring tape

@OpenWookie, there’s a big difference between isolated per-client or per-server issues and the system-wide issues we’ve seen with others.

Sorry, but we’ve never had a system-wide issue to apologize for or be transparent about. Knock on wood.

Don’t be so smug Jason. Their blog is down. Your blog isn’t down. Big deal. Want to have a real life pissing match with them next? The fact is that your servers go down too.
