now that's something new!

interesting series- keep it up!

I'd be interested to look into it if you recall the name- I researched quite a few start pages concepts, and many of them require too much work to set up for users, or add clicks instead of removing them. I tried to make it a 1-click experience for as many services I could think of :)

thanks for your comment- the default search now is Google :) for auto-suggest, it does not seem to work well on iOS so far.

Save Time and Hacker News don't mix. :)

I expected it to be a plugin that replaces all the article titles to either "Vaporware Press Release" or "Trend Article Ending With Question Mark." :P

I think my Hacker Newsletter (http://hackernewsletter.com) project can help with that for a lot of people (as well as this great extension), but yeah, anytime HN is involved there is a good chance time is going to go out the window. :)

I've spent a couple of weeks at Communitech and the energy is absolutely amazing. Everybody was incredibly driven.

If not mistaken, Communitech even claimed that "one new startup comes out from there every day".

For somewhere around a year now, we've had an average of one new startup registering with our Venture Services Group each day. I am struggling with the correct way to be pedantic about it, it's just the connotation of "comes out" that I want to highlight - the startups registering with us don't necessarily meet any minimum requirements, versus those who graduate from one of the incubation or accelerator programs we run or are associated with.

(I work for Communitech, but not in VSG so my understanding is likely to be only slightly more refined than noirman's, and could have a hole or two)

(edit to add: we're working on fixing the site!)

Being part of Hyperdrive was an amazing experience! But, the work doesn't stop at the end of our three months :) In a way, it's just beginning.

I can't believe he used "Operating System" as "Decision Making Framework".

It's like Codecademy for Builders/Makers. LOVE IT.

Wait, iPad 1 supports iOS6 no?

No, it doesn't. Marco has been talking a lot on his podcast about dropping support for the iPad 1 for Instapaper as well in order to use some of the new iOS6 features.

I think he said it would have made it easier if he could use the iOS 6 features, but he wasn't planning on dropping support for iPad 1 yet/

From what I recall he said he'll drop the support for iPad 1 with the next big Instapaper release.

Wow, I didn't know he was planning to drop support for the 1st gen iPad. Bad news. :(

No, but I can't for the life of me figure out what technical reason is preventing Apple from allowing this.

If an iPhone 3GS can run iOS6, I am perplexed why the same can't be true for the iPad 1.

The 3GS effectively has better hardware than the iPad 1.

CPU, RAM, etc. are basically the same, but the iPad has to drive about five times as many pixels. Thus it effectively has much less RAM, an underpowered CPU/GPU, etc.

It's an odd and unintuitive situation, but despite being newer than the 3GS, the original iPad is ultimately a less powerful device, when it comes to which apps and OS releases it can support.

I'm sure Apple could support iOS 6 if they wanted to, but I imagine they decided that it wasn't worth the tradeoffs (e.g. poor performance, RAM available to apps, resulting stability or lack thereof).

They were still selling the 3GS until just a few weeks ago; it would have annoyed many customers if iOS 6 wasn't released for the device. The first-gen iPad, on the other hand, stopped being sold when the iPad 2 was released in March 2011.

iOS 5 also doesn't run all that great on the iPad, so I'm sure that played into the decision not to offer iOS 6 as well. The 256MB of RAM paired with the large screen seems to be the biggest cause for this. The 3GS' hardware isn't great, but it's only powering a 320*480 display

I imagine they don't see it worth the effort to squeeze iOS 6 into the iPad's 256MB RAM.

(I know the 3GS also has 256MB of RAM but it's display resolution is much lower).

The ipad1 has a larger screen which strains the gpu more than the 3gs does. (that is the paraphrased reasoning iirc)

Nope.
