Neverware

There is something odd about the computer Jonathan Hefter keeps at his desk in theADogpatch Labs tech incubator just off of Union Square. The space is filled with employees from some of New York’s most promising startups, most of whom are coding away on top-of-the-line-machines or fiddling with their cherished iPads. But Hefter sits me down at his workstation in front of a Dell GX150, considered state of the art in 2000, now available for $70 from a second-hand dealer online.

Hefter boots up the computer and in a flash I’m logged into Microsoft’s newest operating system, Windows 7. I open up a document and type a few paragraphs, then pop into MS Paint and create a quick image. I log on to the internet, check my email and stream a video. Microsoft recommends a machine with at least 1 gigahertz processor and 1 gigabyte of RAM in order to work in Windows 7, but this computer seems to handle it just fine.

"Most people are surprised when I show them how well an old machine can handle a new operating system," says Hefter, cracking a grin. "Especially when I tell them I also took out the hard drive."

Nikon’s Holy Grail

The 13mm is Nikon’s greatest lens. It is Nikon’s greatest lens because not only is it big and supremely expensive, it is Nikon’s, and perhaps photography’s, greatest lens because it lets us make photographs we can make no other way.

The Nikon 13mm is the world’s widest non-distorting professional SLR lens ever made, by anyone, in any format. It allows us to get closer to our subjects, stretch distances and create images from perspectives otherwise unimaginable.

Forget about ever seeing one; only about 350 were made, and only to special order. That means less than one out of every 100,000 lenses Nikon has ever made is a 13mm. Forget about finding one anyplace other thanAeBay, where they turn up a couple of times a year in various places around the world.

Who Says Bubbles Aren’t Good?

Niccolo Pantucci and the three reasons bubbles are positive for the economy:

Firstly, bubbles are often indicative of big technological breakthroughs who’s impact we cannot fully predict. The eventual winners in these emerging markets are unclear, and often difficult toAforesee. The most positive way to see speculative investing is: free enterprise’s way of transforming economies by encouraging growth in new markets.

Secondly, the cost of startups (particularly in software) is so low at the moment, that it has encouraged a new age of pioneering entrepreneurship allowing more ideas, to flourish simultaneously.

Thirdly, and this relates to both of the above, the allocation of resources that comes about during a heated market (to give it another name!), moves capital and people away from less energetic and growing industries and into new growth ones.APerhaps, the equivalent during this current boom will be greater investment in mobile data transfer hardware, that will yield a much stronger network for future decades.

atomo : The Programmer’s Programmable Programming Language

atomo is a small, simple, insanely flexible and expressive programming language. its design is inspired by Scheme (small, simple core), Slate (multiple dispatch, keywords), Ruby (very DSL-friendly), and Erlang (message-passing concurrency). it is written in and piggybacks on the Haskell runtime, permitting access to all of its power (and libraries!) through a thin layer.
