This is old, and there are no mentions of Erlang, Haskell or Scheme. Not even PHP which while it isn't perfect it's still pretty easy to learn.

It's the chicken and the egg with these guys: we can't get factories because all the components are made elsewhere, and we can't get the components because we have no factories... You can't use trade barriers anymore because if you block so

It's amusing for me that this kind of advice is taken as something novel and even inspiring, not for the advice itself or the person giving it but because it shows how deformed our post-modern perception of the world is. That most people ou

Nice graphics, although the 7900 GPU on the PS3 is really showing its age, they should've used a current highend unit and just say it's a PS4 tech demo.

500 years ago all human settlements on Earth had always been agrarian economies with different levels of development but primitive nonetheless, until the industrial revolution started. What if it had never happened? Now we now there were pr

Wait, so this is not the most popular spot on the internet? That means I'm not statistically popular! Nooooooo!

Like the concept, not so much the projects they have right now. BTW is just me or these crowdfunding sites are all the same? are there any examples of someone modifying the "formula" and coming up with something new?

I'm really digging the last 5 examples, specially the web designer and enterprise programmers parts. So true...

I don't see how Apple could tarnish its brand image by saying they were using OSM. As a matter of fact they could have improved their image regarding open source by supporting OSM directly, thus justifying the use of their maps. I'm not goi

Well it seems to me we are all in the wrong industry! I'm sure none of these healthcare guys have to deal with fierce competition from all over the world, exponentially increasing automation, the constant threat of outsourcing, etc... Someo

Isn't it funny how people scoff at ruggedized phones for being "ugly" but then go and slap all kinds of chintzy cases and screen protectors to their fragile phones, making them much uglier than the rugged variant and just barely more resi

People who can code in the world of technology companies are a dime a dozen and get no respect Last time I went to a startup meetup the people who could code were a very small minority, and they were always surrounded by others trying to

And here I thought it was an actually solid rival to dropbox you could install in your own servers and enjoy the same level of functionaly. Yes I know there are some hacks around using FTP apps to get a similar experience, but is not the sa

That's just the thing: just like it doesn't really matters if a product IS "the best" but if it's perceived by the population at large as "the best", advertising it's also subject to this kind of rationalization, and if social and viral ads

What is the word I'm looking for, "disappointed"? The lack of given credit to OSM doesn't seems like an accident, and I was looking forward to see what Apple was doing with that amazing mapping technology from SAAB. This is underwhelming to

For a moment I thought Google was getting into gaming... Hey, after Valve's Steambox anything is possible, and if rumors are true they are trying to emulate Android's model with OEMs.

Right now it seems that number it's on the rise, so I guess is a matter of how long this line of business will last considering cash-strapped businesses wont spend a dime on something that's widely considered to be useless/ineffective.

From personal experience those who give the most useless kind of criticism tend to be very aggressive when receiving even the mildest form of constructive criticism, or even suggestions.

I know this is a short article meant to explain the basics but I don't like how under the History section it makes no mention of NeXT or Stepstone which were the creators of ObjectiveC.

This situation is nothing new, its very similar to what happened during the dotcom bubble in the late '90s: back then small startups used a sizable chunk of their funding to run banner ads on popular portals like Yahoo. Some times they rece

Personal choices aside (everyone has their own) from a professional standpoint you have to consider that even a mildly advanced Ruby programmer gets a bigger paycheck than an experienced PHP programmer does for the simple fact there are les

Too broad, the article ignores the fact that companies like Zynga hire actual behavioral psychologists to create compulsive game mechanics that hook people in. The consumers that do understand how addictive technology works don't use it bec

I agree, except about C++, and PHP is kind of a mess, not what I would use as an example of a simple and logical language.

The author has a point: many iPad buyers spend a lot of money to work around the limitations of the device. Is not a minority, else there wouldn't be so many keyboard cases for it. I think the problem are all those pundits talking about the

This reminds me of the Spartan project and all the money FB is burning to get around APPL policies. I think in the medium and long term this overly restrictive appstore strategy and the limitations of mobile webapps are going to backfire, s

I think the biggest fallacy these days is that "programming is easy". I bet pilots think flying is easy, and surgeons will repeatedly tell you cutting someone open and removing this vestigial part of the cecum is routine, but if you did tha
