Was tell Apple, NO. Im not changing my app. (and nor will I write any more for your app store) The next best thing I did was stop being a slave to this machine. Why would I let App…

I agree thats a negative trend

I want to apologize for my earlier downvoted comment by saying that, I only said what anyone in a software organization would say. eg your boss. If you dont know how to run DNS, th…

Dont care about DNS, its your problem, fix it and stop whining about hackers.

Real journalists put people on the spot. Their (the subjects) feelings dont matter. Go watch some 60 minutes Mike Wallace interviews. If they can charm their way through the interv…

This really only strengthens AWS, a self service cloud that anyone can manage. IBM is chasing a dying consulting model "we know best". But they dont. You yourself with the knowledg…

What "countermeasures" has the US "installed" to prevent suicides? Just because they aren't occurring in a sweatshop makes them no less real.

In all sincerity please dont refer to Java and Android in the same sentence. As far as Google is concerned, Java does not run on Android and you might be bearing witness to somethi…

I dont think the media "gets it wrong", although they do endemically, I think that media is reflective of ourselves. If we dont see a threat, we dont react. If we dont see a threat…

I wont discredit your experience, however, I have been a consultant in several 64 bit shops, linux and solaris who had 64GB servers who could not scale above 8GB due to OOMs. Also …

I look at this a little differently, Im not going to opine on the character of the CEO or his employees. Besides raw economic factors and the trend-happy game industry, I think its…

There are many use cases for which EC2 is exactly perfect and not overpriced. As a consultant recently I was tasked to build a service which (rather not say), I had good data on re…

Twist isn't solving a fake problem anymore the many services trying to solve the problem of hailing a cab. That said, sometimes I think it would be nice if a lot of these micro sol…

The trick is getting your company to pay for it and run the JVM on top of their VM. But yes, that's where I was heading.

While the JVM has an excellent garbage collector (maybe the best on the planet), it's performance is linearly degraded by the amount of memory a process is using. If you go into an…

Wow thank you for that!

Do the news outlets that that quote Steve Jobs bio incessantly have to pay Walter Isaacson to do so? I have read so many print articles on news sites from the book that Im sure I h…

The headline is a little misleading. What SFLC is saying is that patent licensing agreements are orthogonal to enumerated license terms of the GPL. The construction of a patent cla…

Im confused by the use of the occupy lingo. Is occupy just a meme now for any protest?

Hm. Am I reading into this or is this article suggesting that we "help" the Iranian people avoid their governments censorship by setting up encryption and Tor nodes? Are we to beli…

Funny you should post this I saw the exact same thing. What seems to be happening is that Yahoo is starting to source links from a ton of different sources in the news feed. They h…

Staring at traffic for 4 hours a day is no way to treat oneself.
