1. Most obviously, jQuery is completely encapsulated, whereas Prototype extends the DOM and pollutes the global namespace fairly rampantly. 2. jQuery is designed for ease of use. I…

I agree that Eclipse isn't the ideal IDE for PHP (or anything that's not java), but I don't mind it too much. Maybe it's just because I've gotten used to forcing it to do what I wa…

There is no evidence of mass abuse, but that doesn't mean there wasn't the potential for it. If a security hole affected one fan page, it seems likely that it affected every fan pa…

It's interesting that he downplayed the idea that Google is competing with Apple and Facebook. Does this show that most of the Google/Apple competition is fabricated by the respect…

"...an API "bug" that allowed unauthorized persons to post not only on his page but those of an undisclosed number of other users." [read: a lot of other users]

Any suggestions on an alternative IDE?

I'm finding that they are less relevant than they used to be. We are beginning to have more consistency across browsers, fortunately. I've been working on projects lately that don'…

These are two instruments that you can do a lot with on your own. I learned to play guitar [mostly] on my own, with information I found on the internet. I would recommend that you …

You can do a lot more than that with twitter: 1. Read Tweets 2. Write Tweets 3. Read direct messages 4. Write direct messages 5. Follow someone 6. Unfollow someone 7. Create a list…

This is cool, but no one should ever use this. I've used the google translator frequently, and while it's good, it always requires me to use my knowledge of the language I'm transl…

Not good for whom? Potential investors or Facebook (the company)? In any case, I think it will be quite interesting to see just how much revenue facebook is generating from it's va…

This is not a new technology, but new for me this year was working with MVC frameworks for web development. My workflow has vastly improved because of it. Specifically, the Play Fr…

Culture was probably not the word I wanted. There is a global "community", or "connectedness" that did not exist in the 12th Century. While there may be many people who don't parti…

I wanted this article to be interesting, but it's quite flawed actually. The comparisons are weak, at best. You can't ignore how much more ubiquity there is in the world today. The…
