He never claimed to be a world class designer. In fact if you just clicked on the About Me link at the top you would find his background.

He was saying the original comment said "claimed to be" when it actually said "thinks they are", which is different, as the latter doesn't imply direct admission. I removed the /s.
The initial iPhone OS, before it was called iOS, shipped without copy and paste or 3G at a time when all mobile operating systems had both copy and paste as well as shipped with 3G on their premium models. The first iPhone certainly qualified as a Premium Device.
Video and streaming media is not at all alone. Think of it as just being a more geek friendly topic as opposed to the patent litigation that passes for innovation for everything from aviation and to exercise equipment.
I get that the overwhelming majority of Hacker News supports Barack Obama and feels the need to be very vocal in their support of him online. I understand that every two to four years their is a lot of online discussion about how evil Republicans are and how they hold us back in every way. I understand that acknowledging this as politics and not as the absolute truth to the way things have to be is very unpopular online, even on this site which is supposed to be relatively free of politics. But why do I always feel left out? I don't want to participate in the months of hate-Hate-HATE to whatever Republican candidate happens to be in the running for office. I personally don't think Romney is all that bad, and I don't think that Obama is all that good. I like technical things, not political things.

My advice is to not regret having regrets. It's natural to have regrets so jumping to acceptance is the best method to avoid the self-help dependency cycle that leads to a lot of wasted time and money. At least it works for me.
I have an easy method to see the future. In fact it is so effective it works 100% of the time without fail. I will teach you my method if you read a little further.
In total hindsight, it seems like this should have been expected.
For open source projects to succeed, it needs a strong, clear voice and leader and a large community of users (which results in a large enough group of developers willing to contribute).
TM2 has the bonus in that there's an extremely significant overlap between the user base and those who can and want to contribute to development.
The only question was whether there would be someone taking charge and pushing development forward, accepting patches etc...
