Well, since they have no need to build actual, practical applications with this framework, they need to find ways to spread that 11 million dollars of funding around.

The biggest problem here obviously is that nobody does, or wants to use Google's Closure library.

Maybe only a black hole, but even they aren't 100% because Hawking theorized they radiate particles.

WebRTC will probably make many hosted video-chat systems obsolete. Why would would I need to pay TokBox's fees when I could just whip up my own WebRTC video server and host it from…

Using JQuery server-side to process Twitter posts which are already in JSON format is just so dumb I can believe I read an entirely usless blog post about it.

I haven't even finalized migrating from 0.4 to 0.8...

Startups are becoming the new resume... essentially.

You're probably in the minority. My usage of desktop software has been dropping dramatically over the years. I'm basically left with 5 or 6 apps, including a browser, a file picker…

Nope I'm perfectly in the right to insult these companies. They are idiots and need to be slapped in the face with the reality that the genius coders they're looking for will laugh…
