The stack ranking system is really known as the "GE Way" and is one of the reasons Jack Welsh is famous and made a ton of money selling management books. IBM also employed the 20/7…

For some reason there is always common confusion between legally having a monopoly/monopoly power and abusing a monopoly/monopoly power. The problem wasn't that MS was bundling a f…

I'm looking at this as an iOS developer and not a Mac App developer, but I think this is overblown a bit. In this case, the APIs are the iCloud related features. There are many rea…

Just a completely bogus story by someone who must not be a Mac user. I put my MacBook to sleep and it wakes up instantly. I shut down my MacBook and it takes a min to boot. I put m…

Asking how much you should pay to develop a game is pretty much like asking how much does a car cost. I think the old adage that it takes money to make money is mostly true and app…

Here is the direct link to the video: http://www.1938media.com/windows-mobile-will-be-a-fail/ More time is spent talking about Twitter never being profitable than Windows Phone 7 b…

I've used this before and it's also available in XML format by using the KML format. What's not mentioned and is an extra bonus is that this doesn't require a Google API key. This …

how do you get out from under the bus? Do they have exits that dive under the guard rail? I wish the story had a little more useful info.

Good fix. My MacBook plastic is chipping apart and I just fixed that using a leftover invisible shield I had for my Newton screen that was sitting in my desk drawer. I never even u…

Uggg, horrible font for a blog or any type of extended reading. However, interesting moral decision we all face at various points in time. It's discussed like an economics decision…

I waited to jailbreak my original iPhone until I got my new 3GS. I wonder why that is? Should we automatically believe the author of the post that he didn't try overclocking the CP…

point?

The point is the single data point you are providing. Finding iPhone 4 users with this same data point of not having a problem point to the fact the you entirely missed the point.

This video is out of date and should not be referenced. Mainly, the cross compile approach he is mentioning is now not permitted under the "Flash Fix" in the developer agreement th…

I would say it's pretty much accurate minus the sex with Jennifer Aniston.

I'll save you 90 min of your time. Instead send me two dollars and I'll tell you the secret is to put up a web site that convinces people to drop money on some video you probably s…

The study was interesting, yet by the author's own words incomplete with only something like 24 participants. Even then, I wasn't clear if each of the 24 read three different stori…

I was just going to comment on that very same thing. The guy is only a day into the job, so what does he know, but didn't offer anything that would lead one to conclude they Nokia …

Interesting information as always from useit. However, the conclusion of the test, which was that there wasn't a conclusion was chuckle inducing. Too bad they didn't throw the Kind…

Who cares if the product is hyped or not. Who cares if the guy next door already has one. I don't use google for search because everyone else does, I use it because it works for me…

I can't reply as a funded person since I'm also a bootstrapper, but having done work for some startups they typically have directors which work for the funding group that sit aroun…

You can look at it that way, but not so much true. The great thing about being a self employed is that it doesn't matter where you work. I take my computer with me everywhere I go,…

If we assume that the person is a real recruiter, then I would say it probably won't be a real problem. For the most part, the recruiting game can be fragile. The recruiter has to …

In some big companies, the first company to get a person into the system "owns" that person. So it's in the recruiting companies interest to get as many people submitted as quickly…
