FWIW: In iOS, all icons are varying size, just they have that little border around it forcing all sizes to feel identical. Its a good trick. BTW He forgot to mention: Why is it tha…

Problem he is not addressing is that using an android maker to make android-like phones and trick people into a fragmented market is a problem. Furthermore, those without the true …

He left out the irony tags.

Don't forget, unlike windows, LOCKING a mac is not easy. The only way I know is to use the lock command of Alfred. In windows: Windows + L = lock boom. Because of this, most people…

TBH, these numbers pale in comparison. I don't care if FF is a few instructions faster than Chrome. It's good competition. Chrome and IE both have multi-process capabilities which …

You miss the point. The poor SOB ship won't even know it. It would be a submarine that attaches itself in Japan to a ship known to head to the US. Or mid-rout. And that's that. In …

We must see the first step. He is trying to stop the bleeding. My guess is that the signs are there that the bleeding has started, it just hasn't hit mainstream yet.

I am always wiery of these maneuvers because they can swing both ways. I must say, good for the CEO to response; smart man who realizes the company is going to get hit, hard, and s…

To be honest, I knew this was going to happen. Apple made the lawsuit against samsung, but google has a big BIG bomb to throw: Map Reduce. If google whips out map reduce, apple is …

Android FTW. I know this pops up constantly, but this is EXACTLY the reason I advocate for android. This sort of shit does not fly there. Apple has the ability to censor which even…

The "less is more" argument -- less code = better can be better summarized as: "I'm not smart enough to understand this really complicated code, so I decided to write something sma…

It's funny, the overall article is not about "how do we disarm conservative arguments" it's about a certain type of argument and how it is used. The examples were "liberal" but tha…

Yes, we are celebrating the ability to use tabs to open mail vs a browser tab. Because surely nobody likes browser tabs. sigh news fail.

You sick bastard!!!! Now I had to buy 5 shirts just to make sure I get my free one. How dare you! KHAAAAAAN!!!! edit: set self destruct code: kirk0001 <-- lol at complexity.

"too big to fail" I wonder if facebook fails, will that be a good thing where a lot of developers get on the market thus allowing startups to hire :P?

I read that entire site as: PostgresSQL has feature X, Y, Z MySQL had X, recently introduced Y, and does not always have Z. It's always MySQL catching up to postgres. And lots of i…

I hate java. I love the JVM. 90% of the benefits of java are benefits of the JVM. the Java language itself is garbage though. Too many hacks, too slow release cycle, too slow adopt…

I started using VIM 3 months ago. And now I can't fucking use anything else. The ergo gains of vim are so rediculously awesome, and NOBODY else does VI right, other than VI. Even S…

And let this be a lesson to ALL. Never EVER work > 9-6 hours. Only on occasional crazy deploys. The pot of gold at the end of the rainbow rarely comes, and enough horror stories sh…

Yes, but you did not read the title did you. It's an obvious Jab at the fact that FB overcharges. However the point was, the OP made a net profit of < 10k. The OP used it as a face…

And excellent question there. FB event may be protected already via this.

You created an EVENT. The EVENT cannot be added via a bot, so facebook was protecting itself essentially. Event invitations and click-through are different. Just sayin'

I find Sparrow does that so incredibly well. I use 2 accounts daily, and have 2 more for "spam" accounts. It works really well at separating and unifying them.

"Your password can't be longer than 16 characters." Well, it failed my test. Sorry. I never trust my emails to small hard to remember passwords. I rather trust them to very large e…
