And that's bad for the customer how?

Based on the article, it seems like this could be a perk for Google Fiber users. Man, I can't wait to see that service spread to more cities. It'll finally hold the existing providers' feet to the fire.

I wanted to pipe in to say the same thing. For the longest time, I thought my Late 2008 15" MBP couldn't handle 8GB (chipset issue, I though). I figured 6GB was the largest, and I just stayed with the 4GB as it came from the factory. Then one day late last year, I realized that a) the Late 2008 15" MBP can take 8GB and b) 8GB of RAM was now VERY affordable.

It made a huge difference. No more constant thrashing of the HDD as it tries to manage a large swap file.

Take a look at vroomvroomvroom.com. It's the site I always use for booking rental cars. Simple UI and no hidden fees.

At first glimpse, it seems a bit intense, but if it's what it takes for us to compete on a global scale, then so be it. I'd take it over the bigco where I'm currently at, if only so I could just continue to learn.

Surely the development efforts on Kiln have been to counter this assumption, no? Have you used Kiln, and if so, what are your thoughts?

It's at least a LOT better than what was there before. It makes people stop, think, and interact.

At first, I thought it was pretty ballsy of them to open this all up, but then I realized that this isn't really where their competitive advantage lies. Plus, I think they probably felt that there was still plenty of room for improvement since it had just been a small team working on it (whereas I have a feeling that Google has a much larger team working on these things). In the end, the community wins by getting to see their designs, and Facebook wins by continuing to iterate on them as the community discussion leads to improvements.

And not only that, I feel like it should be accepted that Jobs was able to really accomplish things at the level at which he did _because_ of the others helping behind the scenes.
