Until this year, I wouldn't have expected to ever use it myself, but it's just so much faster and requires almost no visual attention. I couldn't imagine going back to pecking everything out on a touch screen now.

For what it's worth, I dictate most of my IMs, text messages, and some short emails through iOS' voice recognition, and it gets dictated punctuation (in English) correct 99% of the time. Android's probably does too, since that bug report th

That investment is a sunk cost. It definitely may make sense to finish, but throwing more money after your initial sunk cost shouldn't be why.

Flickr and Tumblr have more in common than just the inability to buy a vowel. If the kind of things I've seen on Flickr have been allowed to exist for years under the Yahoo umbrella, I can't imagine that Tumblr's risque content is in any da

Somewhat related, it took me an embarrassingly long time to realize that browsers treat assets with different URL casing as different assets for purposes of caching. Three image elements that reference Foo.jpg, foo,jpg, and foo.JPG all requ

Nice work. This would take some work (more on the server's part than yours), but I think it would be more accurate if you tested the links for 301 redirects and consolidated the results accordingly. For example, in the ASP.NET tag one of my

Surely you don't believe the sort of people judging someone for what gadget they hold or wear makes such a fine distinction between those two things.

I've tested the protocol-relative URL in every version of IE that was available on Browsershots about a year ago (which went back even further than IE6, IIRC). None of them had trouble with it.

The Google CDN serves jQuery with a 365 day max-age as long as you reference a specific version (which you should be doing anyway). It only uses the shorter cache expiration, necessarily, if you want a "latest version" reference. More info

Jamornh wasn't referring to a $250 mouse. He's referring to this $2,500 gaming laptop at 90% off: http://www.razerzone.com/gaming-systems/razer-blade Selling those for $250 is obviously a massive loss on just the hardware alone.

That sounds like something Richard Branson would say (I think I remember reading it in Business Stripped Bare ), but I believe Buffett's quote predates Virgin Airlines entirely.

Two of my clients were never able to get that to work in IE8 or IE9. Thankfully, we haven't needed to try in IE10 because we've finished a site-wide revamp at both to bring their apps current.

The problem isn't fixing that in one application. It's determining which features are affected, how many of your enterprise's hundreds of internal apps are affected, and then putting together a plan to fix all of them. Often, no one has tou

There are features in oldIE that you can't bring forward via compatibility mode. I don't have a full list handy, but XML Data Islands come to mind as something that has legitimately anchored companies I've worked with to IE6 (and not becaus
