    Great question, we don't have any user caps or limitations as we pass through bandwidth costs. The bandwidth costs are pay as you go. For reference: Live encoding of input stream (…

    Hi HN! Joe and Paul here to share PBJ Live. We're releasing an SDK which adds end-to-end live streaming capabilities to any app or website in minutes. Once the SDK is installed, PB…

    Unfortunately, this is already the case. For instance, your mac address is a pretty good identifier probing AP's periodically wherever you go, 99% of smartphone owners aren't even …

    A bit late to the party on this post - I think the next shift we see in mobile will be anointing the phone as the arbiter of identity vs the current situation in which our desktop …

    Take it from the founder himself: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6039053 (I believe he's the founder)

    Passport could be pretty big... point of sale advertising, in store purchases, promotion, etc... A lot of potential revenue here. I had an idea similar a while back and then found.…

    Look at the iPad. Tablets never took off before Apple did it right, with a similar look and feel as other apple products. It's all about the experience.

    I'd have to agree. I really don't believe a company like Apple would be more than five years away from being able to do something like this, either... Provided they wanted to, of c…

    And why wouldn't you have to bring that hardware with you now, or with the cloud? What happens when you have no connectivity? The cloud solution doesn't reduce the hardware require…

    I see where you're coming from. I agree it definitely depends on how much moves to the cloud, could something like this have the potential to affect that? If pulled off correctly, …

    You got it. And enjoy some media / regular mobile experience in the interim.

    Sure, I would think of the phone as your identity... your data, your apps, your storage... That's what makes the difference. Further, I don't forsee all applications working cross …

    I don't think all applications will work cross dock.. Some sure, all no. And in regards to housing the GPU inside dock, thats exactly what I was thinking. I believe you may have mi…

    Yes. This is exactly how I feel. Let the phone drive the data/storage. The dock/mode/inputs are all situational. Mobile will still be a mobile experience, desktop a desktop, the ph…

    I'm not suggesting they need to be fundamentally the same. Apple has taken steps to give iOS and OSx some key similarities in look and feel, the lines don't need to be blurred any …

    Getting closer... I really think a smartphone docking into stations is the future. "Mannequin" Laptops, desktops etc that are activated once a smartphone is plugged in. You can now…

    Their distribution and infrastructure cost is significantly higher than HBO's would be to support their own content delivery.

    Not significantly more, at the end of the day I'd have to guess HBO likely sees less than $10/sub.

    I think you missed what I'm getting at. I'm talking more from a software UI/UX standpoint regardless of hardware & input extensions.

    We want portability and uniformity. Similar, familiar, comfortable look and feel across platforms. The same fundamental data, applications, and generic controls at our disposal des…
