I don't understand this thing where people can't get over the existence if null. If you ask your ORM for something that doesn't exist in the database, what exactly are you expectin…

I recommend getting rid of App.net. Nice idea, but just way too much of a nerd fishbowl, I say. I have noticed that my day-to-day happiness is in part inversely correlated with how…

I think it would be great if app.net succeeds, but personally I had to stop using it. Just too many of "Nick Burns, your company's computer guy" for me.

Exactly right, very well said. Once you're in the travel system just stop acting like you have freedom & autonomy. This is never what bothers me the most about travel, though. To m…

Because "post hoc, ergo propter hoc." Apple shits on Windows every chance they get, and now they're gonna hire the guy who was in charge of it? Come on.

Should we watch TV?

What if I see someone using the word and include their tweet in mine, to tell them what a racist idiot they are? Then my tweet would be counted racist simply because it contains th…

Agreed. But we do use it.

Right, after a while you end up rehashing the same topics with slightly varying syntax. That's only interesting to amnesiacs. I think what you describe is another case of obsessing…

Here's the thing: I develop websites for other people, people who most likely aren't also using Chrome Canary. I'd prefer to develop on a browser that will show me something closer…

Hear folks 'round these parts tell it, Apple deserves anything and everything they get.

When I was 29, I knew someone who was really freaking out about being close to turning 30. To be honest, I wasn't thrilled about it either, but I was a lot more accepting of it. I …

It's amazing how flabbergasted people are acting at the statement Apple wrote. Jeez, is your mother the judge or something?! They got clever and got rapped on the knuckles for it. …

Admittedly I am not exactly humanity's greatest advocate, but I wouldn't talk to strangers anyway -- I would read. Changing the medium from paper to a screen doesn't really affect …

I saw the same thing once and it was quite a revelation for me. I experienced it positively, in the sense that I now see people's "crazy" party pictures in a different way. It made…

Then don't work there? I can understand this person's complaints about Google, but it seems they did the right thing in leaving, so... yeah. Not much to see here.

Curiously, the author never gets around to the "why" in the title. Just another restating of the events that unfolded to get things to the state they're in today.

Boy, that Apple, they sure are evil. rustles newspaper What other reason could there be for running this story?

Indeed, it would be crazy to sell a mobile device that can't play video. But what you quoted doesn't say that -- it says that Windows Media Player does not run in the "desktop mode…

I was OK with the maps thing on my iPad, because I don't take it with me much. A little inaccuracy is fine in that case, but not with my phone. So I haven't upgraded my phone, and …

Lack of Flash is mentioned with no further comment. Funny how things change.

So basically we're going to see pundits compare it to the iPad's price using the keyboard-less price, then compare the actual devices while using the keyboard even though it costs …

Because laziness (intellectual, and otherwise). And because Apple Is Evil is the narrative.

From what I remember, the main knock against the book is that it teaches you to be phony to others in order to get what you want. But for me, it was invaluable as well. I was such …

Wait, why are you talking about C?
