Another "mommy I quit because it's too hard for me" post. Why is that tolerated? He doesn't even present an interesting perspective on the technology. "I cannot build cool things with Lego, so Lego is terrible". Yeah awesome.

They need to get what's coming to them, and that is not schadenfreude. Don't compare cheating on an exam to my condemnation of it. "Doing something that makes the world a better place" Could you possibly be more general and irrelevant?

No but in case I squander those opportunities, don't hesitate to fill up the gap.

Let's see them burn. Many would give their right arm to be given the opportunity they had.

Once in a while I will throw out a useless and nonconstructive comment: Isn't it super cute to see these windows "power-users" at work? Pretending that their new OS is for anything other than their grandma checking their email? And look at

The author fails to escape a nihilistic world view, but doesn't notice it. He is mistaking the action for the value of the action. He speaks of these things too early in his life and I cringe at noticing this fact, being 24 myself. "You can

bought one about 6 months ago (Pro 2), and man do I love that keyboard. Typing is very reliable, and it's perfect for UNIX.

A well-researched article/list would have produced a valuable resource. This is true for all high-end electronics. Apple makes beautiful garbage when it comes to keyboards (and mice). They make this fundamental mistake of applying to human

Most mathematical genius in my life (in others and me) has been the direct result of DOING. Doing maths at that stage was the result of joy. Joy was often the result of a feeling of newness. A feeling of newness can be the result of a great

I can't take designers seriously when they use a font with that such an unreadable "I", and input boxes big enough to park a truck in. Get the basics right when you make proposals that are supposed to represent your skills and vision. There

I can see where you're coming from but for a programmer who is beyond "programming puberty" it is a great plus to be in love with their programming languages. Even better if he/she is unfaithful, and has massive orgies (oh wait did I just t

A shocking example of this trend is of course the new iCal look[0], something that could not possibly have gotten a yes from a sober Ive or Jobs. [0] http://static5.businessinsider.com/image/4d9499e3cadcbb88674...

For those in the know: can you tell me/us how this is superior to working with just Raphael.js?

Nexus 7 is exciting to me because it means that Apple-which already sets itself very high standards, for which I am thankful-will not be allowed to slack off. Hooray for competition.

I guess I could be called an addict.. to video games. Even made some $$$ with it, traveling around Europe for free. But damn straight will I not drink more than 1 bottle of wine a week. I just don't need it. I enjoy a nice bottle on the wee

After residing in unix-land for almost a year I decided to come back to Mac OSX just 2 days ago, and after re-downloading my purchased apps, the announcement by the Sparrow team was the second mail I picked up. Fuck. Thinking back, in unix-

Set small goals and mentally affirm your own awesomeness at their successful completion. Evaluate the path you are on: distraction is often a manifestation of doubt. Don't chase whatever idea comes to mind until that mind proves that it can

If it were possible to read ~15 books and hundreds of articles. But not even then, because the written word is part of my life and I am not obsessed with clever ideas and "lifehacks". "You can immerse yourself in a single author’s perspecti
