I agree that it was a PR blunder, but I don't agree with the accusations of sexism (anyone else noticed the sexist witchhunt that's been started since the Boston code jam fiasco?) …

Oh hey, a stupid slapfight on Twitter. Frankly, Shanley was really offensive in her approach and Christian's responses seem pretty measured. Not sure what the big deal is.

How long do you work til? Going to the gym for me would entail: getting ready, driving there, working out for an hour, driving home, showering and then getting back to work. Seems …

Not really. Pricing gets complicated for enterprise sales so it can't be as simple as just signing up online. Furthermore, if it's a trial they are signing up for then they have to…

There doesn't have to be anything high pressure about it. When someone calls me for a quote I simply ask them for the details I need and tell them exactly what it will cost. In my …

I used to be of the same mindset until I got into enterprise sales. Face it, some products and sales processes are going to be complex and can't be boiled down into a simple pricin…

I'm open for suggestions as I would like to get the new iPad. The things holding me back are: the inability to expand the memory, the challenge of playing common video formats like…

I saw some of those and, while they would help, it's still a bitter pill to swallow. I really just wish there was a tablet with the app quality and build quality of Apple devices b…

Have you ever left your house? Lots of people enjoy watching movies outside of their homes too.

I'm in the market for a tablet right now and I wanted to choose the new iPad for its superior resolution, high quality app store and great pedigree. But I can't. When I put aside a…

The comment I was responding to is the one that brought up how FSF is beneficial for a "democratic society", not me.

The same argument can be made for any sufficiently complicated device or technology, not just code. I suppose I could deconstruct my smart phone and reverse engineer all of its dra…

If Richard really cared about FSF he would stop making such a spectacle of himself as it's easy to discredit a movement with a gibbering lunatic as its frontman. Then again, maybe …

Google's recent behavior was central in our decision not to embrace their technologies and APIs. If they're going to either be suddenly shut down or have prohibitive, anti-startup …

The fact is that it is on workstations, I'm simply judging what Microsoft has put before me. Telling me to ignore Metro if I don't like it is like selling me a muffin filled with c…

I'm still baffled as to why Windows 8 is not a dedicated tablet OS. I think it would be a dream to use on a touch device and commend Microsoft for the Metro design, but they had to…

He was a brogrammer

I get this on my phone (HTC Incredible on the Verizon network). Google's instant search is nearly unusable as it causes the phone to grind to a crawl, miss keystrokes, bounce the p…

You're not the only one. I counted three occasions just in the last week when an attempted Google visit timed out, yet DDG and Bing worked fine. Not sure what's going on behind the…

I like one point in particular that he touched on. That is, the military's careful manipulation of the media and public perception and the lens through which we view military perso…

The reference to my time spent with D1/D2 was to make the point that I like Diablo. I've put about 2 hours with the D3 beta and had to force myself to finish it.

It's not even the length or difficulty, I just didn't feel motivated to get through it. Maybe the rest of the game will be better but I felt the beta had really terrible pacing, cl…

This seems like an appropriate enough place to put this: The Diablo 3 beta? Not that good. I put thousands of hours into D1 and D2 but have zero desire to keep playing the D3 beta.…

Much like you should
