This is very impressive. I can understand people's first-thoughts of "the lazy parent", but I would have loved to have this when I was traveling a lot when my kids were younger.

I'm talking with a friend about helping him take a technology he is licensing from a university and productizing it. In essence, I would be the product manager for this product/com…

Wow, I wish I could be in the "more money than brains" camp. Oh, wait, I guess I probably am; I just don't have any money, either.

There are enough competitors to ensure that Apple isn't stifling economic growth. The last thing we need is the government saying what policies any arbitrary company can or cannot …

It would be interesting to see if/how this would change if their environment changed. The brain changes significantly based on its environment, so could the brain mature more quick…

The core of the argument, IMO, is that, by 15, the damage has already been done. On the other hand, if kids were set up in a system that expected them to be self-sufficient by 15 a…

That, in my mind, is the most annoying thing about it. I don't care what the rules are (within reason), but make sure we know what they are and apply them consistently.

Unfortunately, it isn't a question of should it be legal or not. Anybody with any common sense can see that it should not be illegal, but common sense does not rule our country. Th…

The DMCA is one of the worst laws to come out of Washington ever. I don't think there is another law that so completely proves that Washington is beholden to corporate interests fa…

This is interesting. I am currently contracting for a company in California, though, if I read this and grellas' comment correctly, I really am an employee. I wonder if this makes …

I wholeheartedly agree with swapping ctrl/caps. It also keeps other people from using my machines. :) Linux, Windoze, and Mac all have swapped ctrl keys. Personally, I use command …

This goes in my Makefile. I have to add files in xcode. all: xcodebuild -activeconfiguration -activetarget -sdk iphonesimulator3.0 -project MyProject.xcodeproj I may have to back o…

The tech specs of the iPod never said it supported Linux. When you bought an iPod and decided you wanted to sync it with your Linux box, you stepped outside of the support box. Tha…

That's a bogus analogy. Apple is not preventing you from installing any software you want and using the same music you have in iTunes (along with all the meta-data in the music fil…

The only people who feel like Apple is abusing them, though, are a bunch of angsty tech geeks. The vast majority of normal people using Apple products are thrilled that they just w…

All of the states use "At Will employment" rules (with varying levels of exemptions). That means that anyone can be fired without cause today.

I use Emacs and Make as my IDE (yes, it does call xcode to do the actual compile). There is at least one Ruby and one Javascript compiler you can use.

I think there would need to be proof that Foxconn did something, which I would imagine will be hard to get out of China.

I'll second that. It is more feature-rich than simplenote, which I prefer: voice notes, pictures notes, etc. There is also a plugin for Firefox extension for grabbing clips. I (and…

There is no way Java is going anywhere. We can actually hope that Oracle loses some interest in Java, thereby loosening their grip and letting the language evolve. But I doubt it.

I think you've got some causality messed up. I don't see how Java could have "dumbed down our profession." I think instead, schools turning vocational reduced the caliber of gradua…

So according to http://www.facebook.com/ATT?v=app_7146470109 , tethering will not be $55 additional per month. I've not seen an official announcement from AT&T (I don't consider ap…

Yeah, I don't buy it. I was on the intertubes in the early nineties, and I distinctly remember trolls running around Usenet. That said, the caliber of trolling may have been slight…
