Never. The alternatives are nowhere near as lucrative.

I'm in South Africa too and see the same thing. Facebook loads almost instantaneously even when I'm on a crappy connection.

Oren Eini is the author of a .Net based NoSQL database called RavenDB and compares it with MongoDB based on Kiips recent woes with it.

So, nobody used short, perfunctory sentences before Apple did. Right.

The tepid responses to both here and in the comments section of the authors blog are pretty shocking to me. Or maybe not actually. Apple seems to be defended almost as a reflex act…

Not really comparable. Database support on AppHarbor is expensive.

I suspect this is a great way to force FireFox to adopt Dart.

Great way to pick an editor theme/style here http://studiostyl.es/ (It's specifically for Visual Studio but I'm sure you can adapt one of the many themes to you editor of choice, o…

Well, he says >>Here are most of the contents of my C:\UTILS folder. These are all well loved and used. I wouldn't recommend them if I didn't use them constantly. Things on this li…

Sounds more like you just didn't know what you were doing to be honest. We can ignore your Prism complaints because that was simply your choice of MVVM frameworks as you mentioned.…

If I were them, I would re-focus it as a LOB app platform. That's where it really shines. As for WPF, it serves no purpose whatsoever.

So...two screens. Meaning this thing was going to be both heavy AND a battery hog. How was this ever going to be a good idea?

I'm wary of reading too much into this sort of thing. The author is going to have to do some serious back tracking the day Apple decides to increase the screen size.

There's an ad of sorts here http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/presskits/xbox/VideoGalle...

Wrong. Silverlight is typically used to write LOB apps. You know, desktop apps. So long as that use case is still supported Silverlight developers will be happy.

Nope, didn't auto start over here. Windows XP, Chrome 13.

Anybody looking for geek cred.

Is there any positive at all that can be taken from this? No.

The implications are obvious. Currently where I work (a large investment bank) I've seen a few iPads carried around mostly by executives. They are typically used to view web report…

I remember more than a few comments here claiming FB wouldn't be able to add Google+ circle like functionality quickly. I'm pretty impressed actually

Its odd how he's cheering the fact that Linux is being used in the way it is, as the engine that runs very closed mobile devices. Weird.

So the question now is, does Google consider these patents 'bogus'?

Google/Wikipedia :-) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moonlighting_(TV_series) I'm officially old now.

Why does who run js in the UI thread? As far as I know, every browser will exhibit this behavior. I haven't tested it though. How do you propose easily marshalling js events back t…
