If you read the biography and came to that conclusion, then it's incredibly unfortunate because the opposite was true. Jobs surrounded himself with the best engineers and often fli…

You missed the point, which is to make your own job if someone else isn't doing it for you.

Related is a great site I found through HN recently: http://chains.cc . It helps you track doing things daily and allows you to see your progress

Is the argument that they have enough money and thus shouldn't make more?

If you're trying to make a serious argument that Mobile Safari is slow and incompatible, I suggest you actually use an iPad first.

Perl is perfectly readable, and in many cases elegant. The creator is even a trained linguist. Sure it's possible to write unreadable perl, just like it's possible to make a mess i…

This article doesn't describe how the iPhone 4's noise cancellation technology works.

I thought RIM was the obvious choice for enterprise, though.

What makes the folders/multitasking UI less well thought out? I don't have anything that can run iOS 4 yet, so I haven't tried them out.

I disagree, we can use the past to inform the future so it's not the same as religion. I think it's a much better bet to say that devices like the iPad will be more popular 5 years…

I just graduated from a decent CS program, but I find it hard to believe that most people applying for a programming job couldn't explain binary search trees or quickly think throu…
