I get why that would be the issue for IE <9, but the latest preview version of 9 has canvas support. Hardware accelerated, even.

$(function() { if ($.browser.msie) // Sorry, I tried. && $.browser.version < 9) $('body').addClass('ie') }) What was the deal breaker in IE9, out of curiosity?

I doubt that anyone working at Sony or Nintendo shares this apathy toward Microsoft's continued ability to enter and disrupt an industry.

The Entertainment and Games division started turning a profit in 2008. They may still be in the red overall (I don't know for sure), but they're turning a steady profit now.

The design looks great; not spammy at all. At a glance, I was confused by the table near the bottom. The large heading says "What does the PAGG stack consist of?" and the following paragraph is in a low contrast/small font, so I jumped alm

That's interesting. That puts hard currency at about one half of November's $1.8tn M1 estimate. I've always assumed that currency represented a much larger portion of the M1.

He should have received right at $250,000,000 in dividends on his Disney stock since selling Pixar. He's certainly not hurting for cash, frugal or not.

Surprised to see no one using Linode.

I agree that blind use without understanding is not the best case, but I still believe these boilerplates are helpful. Especially if the choice is between someone copy-pasting an HTML5 boilerplate or sticking with their IDE's HTML4/XHTML1

I agree that it shouldn't make any different, logically, but then your control group still isn't truly a control group. Your results could be doubted on the basis of things like the participants knowing too much about the experiment and tr

If we repeated the experiment here, publicly, we'd all know whether we were in the control or experiment group just about immediately. The results wouldn't be valid, would they?

I'm curious how the young ladies at the bottom of the page figure into helping illiterate people access Facebook. It's tough to send a much stronger spamminess signal.

As long as the CDN is configured to transmit its files with a far-future expires header (which Google and Microsoft's CDNs are), the CDN owner can't accurately track usage at all. In a perfect world, the CDN would only handle one HTTP reque

Avoid using the "latest version" reference. In order to ensure that it's serving the latest version, it serves the script with an extremely short expires header.

The volatility of our medium hasn't decreased at all yet. If anything, it has increased in recent years. There's no way to know what point in the medium's maturation we're presently at; we may be much earlier on the timeline than us ear

Just remember, a lot of the cutting-edge HTML5 websites we're building today will look like that in a decade or so.

That's pretty easy to do if they're using Google Analytics. It integrates with AdWords very well, and can track conversion rates (not just clicks) on their site for each ad.

It drops below freezing quite often in Atlanta. Most houses here have natural gas heating. Needing significant heat in the Winter here is a given.

Other than Windows Update (which non-technical users shouldn't be running manually anyway), I can't even remember the last site I've been do that didn't work perfectly on Chrome (or Firefox). Examples? On the other hand, we're getting to t

The real hidden value of the Disney stock is that it has paid him $242,880,000 in dividends since the Pixar sale in 2006.

by Encosia 16y ago
His Disney stock is from the Pixar sale, not active investment. Smart of him to keep it all this time (probably an easy choice given the dividends it pays), but he ultimately has it due to the innovation at Pixar, not investment acumen.

When he practically begged you to call, why didn't you? Those primitive chat features are not suitable for working out complicated issues. This reminds me of when people insist on discussing something a dozen messages at a time on Twitter

My machine (with 102 other processes currently running) didn't break 17.5% CPU usage during the entire demo and my GPU fan never spun up. Not bad.

This sets the wrong anchor point. Most non-technical types will probably see "compromise" and assume some level of fairness, when in reality it's a blow against today's status quo. Going forward, this will make achieving true neutrality

You shouldn't conflate .NET and IE usage. I can only think of a few .NET web developers who use IE by choice. More likely, corporate developers of every flavor are more often locked into IE by company policy. It would be interesting to se

Just to be clear, I would never use server controls like the Menu in my ASP.NET MVC projects. I just mentioned it to help illustrate how closely related the two really are.

I know those attitudes prevail in some shops, but that hasn't been my experience at all with the .NET community as a whole. I do choose my clients carefully, but I've literally never had a client tell me that I couldn't use a third-party l
