"Here's what is going to happen in the next 5-10 years." In my experience the auto industry is slow to change and our federal and state governments even slower. There could be a pr…

Steve's almost got it right that there are axes, but I think he tried too hard to fit it into a two party system. I think instead there are the axes of safety, efficiency (which is…

There may be no foolproof system, but there are systems: 1. ABP: Always be paranoid. No two passwords are the same. Don't make domino accounts such that when the security for one f…

OUYA is a great idea, but it remains to be seen whether it will take off. I like homebrew development, but the fact is that the tools around providing homebrew development to the e…

I agree with the article and with, "I look for an applicant that fits the culture, who is bright, and who is excited and wants to learn." Recruiters can't automatically filter on c…

I think eventually you will not think this is as good of an idea as you do currently. There is a sweet spot for billing, just like anything else: somewhere between too often and to…

Like it! But would be better imo to have prettier graphs. I am not a fan of the red and green vertical timeline heroku and others are using. It is not a normal way to look at downt…

Customers of what, exactly? I've not heard of anyone using Yahoo, except those that are holding on to Yahoo email addresses because they don't know it makes them look old and techn…
