Nothing against you specifically astral303, but this is exactly why I will probably never build a stand-alone mobile app.

Because the blue eyed person see 99 blue eyed people and the brown eyed person sees 100 blue eyed people. So, every brown eyed person was one day away from leaving when all the blue eyed people spontaneously left. However, now everyone left

Doesn't that presuppose they know there are 100 blue eyed people in their tribe? When that information is presented to the reader, it's presented as outside knowledge. If they knew the color counts, they would know their eye colo

Yes, the never ending and hard to pin down boogeyman. Today it's HFT, tomorrow it's day traders, the next private equity. All these thing are so evil, so easy to do, and the people who do them are making so much money, which sho

CBS is really pumping up the PR for the NSA. Recent episodes of NCIS have a NSA agent on loan to the NCIS staff. She's cute, smart, and quirky and does a great job protecting us all from the scary people. Also, Hawaii 5.0, had a hack

The problem with that thinking is the poor and uneducated make demands on the educated and productive. If they want to live in squalor, who am I to judge. If they want what I have, I have something to say about that.

Strange, I looked for your intelligent comments, but found nothing. Have you taken the 23 and me test? Seen the results? Are you adopted and know nothing about your families medical history? Have you ever been misdiagnosed by a board cer

I'm surprised at the negativity here. There is nothing conclusive about this test and from what I've seen it does a pretty good job. So one guy got some bad indicators that proved to be nothing, who cares? My father did 23 and m

At a time when TV watching is shifting to on-demand, I don't see a big market now or in the future for this. Writing non-essential software for laggards probably isn't a good business model. Here's what I'd like, perhap

So many problems with this article. For starters, he gives apple way too much credit. He also nitpicks about RT not being able to run .net apps. So what? Get a non-RT tablet. Can you run mac programs on any iPad version? No.
