You sound really condescending. I'm sure she'll eventually get it if you keep telling her. Also if you don't tell her, she might figure it out on her own, maybe she keeps asking you because you're too available? :D

6 years then? :D Let me qualify this a little. I don't mean no keyboards will exist within 6 years, but at around the 6th year mark, the vast majority of tech aware people, like you and me, will refuse to buy a computing device (including d

You should go for it if you can offer a compelling feature that facebook lacks. (I mean really really compelling). I think the advice about going at it obliquely is only necessary if you're creating a straight up clone, this targeting a nic

You're making it far too simple. The military industrial complex causes us to spend more money on the military than we should. It's definitely possible to support a military effort but at the same time not overspend on it. I'm not saying th

I don't think that's unreasonable if you're reasonably sure your audience is close to entirely IE. When I make websites I have no time for ideals or philosophical statements, I look for where my market is now and where it's going in the sho

Just because he gave the definition as it is applicable rather than the historical etymology doesn't make it wrong...

Relax on your desire to join a startup, get some outside interests, and find a problem you want to solve. I have too many ideas. :(

Whoa, none of those things are commercially available yet. Looks like the future is in 2-3 years? :D

He's trying to say that when there's no institution that grades programmers and opportunities are open to everyone, lots of bad programmers surface. But I don't think it's a useful point, because there is a market and societal use for bad/n

Though I don't know much about fashion, I can't help but think that the investment required to think up of a new fashion design must pale in comparison to the investment required for innovation in other industries. Perhaps years to write a

It's not crazy. You should pre-ajax in the content of the next page. Set display:none, when the user clicks next, show it.

If this can be ~$200 I am definitely getting one. Positioning Android as the high end and Chrome OS as the low priced vision of future is a fantastic move.

People on the periphery will always be confused about the specifics of a technology. If it's your client, you can softly correct them, if it's anyone else, well does it really matter. Don't see what the hubbub is about.

We should stop talking about religion and faith in terms of good or evil. Religion is merely institutionalized ignorance, completely understandable. Outside of overwhelming evidence, believing what everyone else believes is completely logic

Literary unsavviness aside, this is definitely the future of computing, maybe not in 2 years but not far after... All that's needed is good execution.

This *could be true, but it could well not be true. In any system with a powerful network effect, such as: a platform with more users will get more apps, and the platform with more apps will get more users, there definitely could be a winn

Maybe http://visualwebsiteoptimizer.com/ should take a look at the button on their own homepage. Edit: It doesn't work.
