Submission + - Thousands of Reddit communities 'go dark' in protest of new developer fees (npr.org) 7

koavf writes: Thousands of sections of the popular online message board Reddit are "going dark" for two days starting Monday to protest controversial new fees the site is charging third-party developers.

Some of the largest communities on Reddit are being set to private for 48 hours, meaning they will not be publicly available. By doing this, Redditers aim to pressure company executives to reverse their decision to charge developers for access to the site, which until now has been free.

In a Reddit post about the boycott, organizers wrote that the charges are "a step toward killing other ways of customizing Reddit."

- News uses less than what 1/3 of the horizontal space not including the polls, everything is crammed in a narrow strip down the middle of the screen.
- bright blank white space on each side is great than the content section as a whole at 1920X1080
- contrast of new design makes reading harder some how.
- Comments are awful; due to the compressed layout and the fact they aren't boxed in as well as the old system
- loaded it on my iPhone, and waited... and waited... slow and the banner ad that loaded made the layout break. big step backward from the current mobile option

Bottom line I am hard pressed to find anything positive here...

I don't know, when the Wii U controller was announced stuff like this http://www.macstories.net/news/ipad-games-on-apple-tv-firemint-announces-real-racing-2-hd-with-ios-5-airplay-mirroring/ had already landed.

If you already own a tablet that can stream to your TV why purchase a dedicated console with a limited tablet LIKE controller?

I can forgive Juniper when compared to Cisco on the topic of licensing and complexity.

Despite advancements for support at the device level the next major hurdle for large enterprise is the management tools and monitoring tools not fully supporting IPv6.

It is really hard to manage a modern network without flow monitoring, snmp and syslog data from all systems. This is another area where you end up with a setback or compromise if you try and roll out right now.

Comment Network gear features are still WAY behind v4 (Score 4, Informative) 244

On the consumer front only just recently did home WiFi routers start shipping or start getting IPv6 support, even then finding an ISP that will provision you is next to impossible.

On the enterprise front gear has been labeled as IPv6 ready or compatible or even listed it as a feature for a long time. However if you work in security and have to implement policy control over content, you quickly see that the functionality is years behind when applied to IPv6 flows... At an enterprise level switching isn't easy without swamping out a lot of gear, or reducing expectations... IPv6 enabled deep inspection, and application layer inspection tools are only now becoming available, or only now becoming mature enough to roll out.
