@snookca I loved doing the geek cruise I did a few years back. Even when we ran into a hurricane.
just called guest services and am impressed to report that they are sending up an electric kettle. For money. But not 17 bucks per cuppa.

am taking suggestions for a practical, small, sturdy globally acceptable electric kettle that will fit in a carry-on. NeedsHerTeaMols
a pot of water and four teabags costs 17.00 USD to order from room service. Some of us come to Las Vegas to work, you know, not to gamble.

Old Skool marketing is "we tell you what's cool." New Skool marketing is far more social. Community can determine what's cool through merit.

Bottom line, we are in a paradigm shift. How marketing works on the Web is usually not the way the old skool models work.

@herko so my suspicion (no real facts to back it up) is that it is much the same at Apple. Internally, there's great work being done.
@herko This is an ongoing issue with Microsoft. Amazing, awesome devs and engineers kicked around by market loss fears.
@herko Engineers and devs are often the ones most interested in participation. It usually is marketing that prevents that, not the devs.
@Fyrd From a technical perspective, yes. From a social perspective, no. Proprietary advances on the Web derail its true vision and potential
Whenever Apple is invited to standards-related panels/events and don't show up, bite a juicy apple and sit it at a microphone. Say no more.

@manoloweb Regarding dev tools in Opera: We have DragonFly, which we are evolving: http://www.opera.com/dragonfly/
@manoloweb I really don't think the world is ready for a Molly clone. Thoughts on that? Seriously, have a fantastic Exponet. Go Guate!
@asbjornu Yet Apple makes sexy hardware, so we forgive them (I'm on a mac right now). I'm specifically concerned about software standards.
@asbjornu Microsoft has been (and usually rightly so) called out for monopolizing products via proprietary strategies. Apple does this too.
@asbjornu This is not about Microsoft. This is about proprietary development that in essence is excluding open standards and browsers.
