As much as I love Mailbox's flow for handling my email, I can't get over the performance issues and random crashes with the app. After a few weeks of usage the app slows down on la…

Good point. I haven't done much browsing on it in a while, it's mostly used for my son's apps. I'll need to play around with that a bit. It's running the OS 5.1.1.

The iPad 1 still runs a surprising number of modern apps. My son plays newish games like Angry Birds Star Wars 2 or Asphalt Heat 7 without crashes or minimal lag. Not bad for a 4 y…

A lot of the engineers making games don't want to do anything else. They're willing to accept a lower rate of pay to stay in the industry. When they look for other opportunities, t…

I'd love an iOS home screen icon. Since iOS allowed saving web pages as icons on the home screen, I've had a link to Hacker News on the first page of apps on my iPhone. iOS looks f…

If you've never interviewed someone before you should speak to someone in HR group to review the types of things you CAN'T ask. Asking questions about religion, family, health coul…

Here's a SFW link to the uTRON: http://gearcrave.com/2008-12-02/the-wicked-utron-keyboard/

Thankfully no, but given the speed those companies move I wouldn't be surprised if IE6 is still there, 3 years later.

End users at large enterprise companies have zero say in the support browsers of that organization. These policies are put in place by their IT organization which in some cases man…

I've worked with a lot of Salesforce.com partners and customers and the acronym SFDC is universally used.

I agree, but I believe it helps for Apple's employees to know they won't get away with a user experience like that under Jobs. They've got smart people, the ability to get things d…

There's a decent amount of overlap among the feeds I read. I would love to see Google Reader combine any articles that point to the same link into a single thread.

Outlook's market share isn't directly correlated to its capabilities. Many large organizations force their employees to use Outlook as their corporate standard.

"The phone is brilliant, but the market went elsewhere with it's carrier locked subsidised junk models. That's just a market reality, like it or not. Google tried to "do the right …

I wouldn't call it a "real" competitor until the device launches. Until then it's in the same realm has the HP Slate and the other forthcoming Android tablets.

The biggest issue with this whole WakeMate fiasco was the original ship date announced. Given all of the recent communication and delays, it is clear that the original January ship…

Those generic manufacturers have to follow the same rules and regulations as the name brand companies to sell in the US. The only difference is your putting your faith in a differe…

I've been a TiVo subscriber for almost 7 years now and hope they're around for a lot longer. As a Cablecard user, I've given up on-demand and PPV in exchange for having my own set …

NBC doesn't care about formats. They probably made a great deal with Microsoft to make Silverlight the exclusive choice for their Olympics coverage. NBC makes some money and Micros…

I saw the same message when attempting to view a video on NBC's Olympics site. After grudgingly installing Silverlight I was still unable to watch anything. The videos require Silv…

Adobe ignored OS X for years and is now finding themselves in a position where they're losing a hold on Flash as the 'standard' for online video. Rather than fixing the technical i…

It's a reference to this blog post: http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2008/10/programmers-view-of-...

Colbert loves attention. He may or may not be genuinely excited for the iPad, but I bet he's more excited for the press it generates.

This is the typical model for enterprise software that is sold through a sales team. The price of the product is determined by how much the customer is willing to pay and can vary …

"Of course, we’re not in the Promised Land yet. I’m actually surprised that Salesforce isn’t a lot bigger than it is; a variety of things are holding back the migration to the util…
