The boxee software itself hasn't been updated in a year at this point.

I honestly don't care for all these extraneous bits and pieces if they can't even ship the base system in any real timeframe.

After many years, the sad truth is that wysywig editors are only as useful as the output generated when users copy and paste from word documents, which is what I have found the vast majority of input from actual end users to be.

Not supporting wysywig is a tactical advantage in my book.

We've had great success with using ElasticSearch to index our couch db databases in near realtime into it's lucene indexes, and then querying those.

It allows each tool to focus on what it does well.

This is definitely the direction i see things going.

Node.js is also perfectly suited for it, and I recall hearing that it's also on the core team's mind.

i always thought scruples sounded like a breakfast cereal loaded with sugar and wasted sentiment.

php itself does break backwards compatibility, and it doesnt really help.

I feel that there is something in the ps3 scene that might have triggered this, that nobody is actually mentioning.

Recently a custom firmware (rebug) was released that allowed PS3's with hacked firmware to connect to the developer only version of the PSN used for testing and development.

Even more so, they have figured out how to trick the dev PSN to allow them to 'buy' PSN games. They also figured out how to break out of the sandbox with certain games like the call of duty series, to allow patched games to play with regular players.

I personally suspect that this is the intrusion that they are referring to, and they are busy retooling the network to stop this from being possible.
