Finish college and work on your startup on the side for a year. Also, if you need to do a major research project or dissertation, choose something that will be of use for your startup.

I'm def not saying people shouldn't point it out, I just think people shouldn't base their entire opinion on the fact that he's an MS evangelist.

At least you're arguing the points of the article :) I haven't used either product so I don't have an opinion on whether he's talking BS or not...

It would be ad hominem if you called it a shit or untrue article just because you dislike SEO consultants. It may be a shit or untrue article, but then say why.

Of course it's valid to consider the source, but you need to back it up, show that it's influencing his opinion unfairly. You may be right, maybe he is just favouring MS products, but then show why his comparison is wrong, or why he is igno

Pretty crap what MS is doing. The $10/15 per handset seems so high, what exactly is this patent that they're referring to?

Assuming you verify users over the phone securely, why not just reset their passwords for them with a one-time use, temporary password? Surely that's not much harder for the end-user to deal with, and then you needn't store their password..

Not quite sure how he managed to link Google+ and Office365? They're completely unrelated surely?

This story got me thinking; what stops hackers from using huge botnets to mine bitcoins? Surely more profitable than sending out spam?

I'm a fan of WebGL and I really hope it does gain traction, but I think people are being really irresponsible for ignoring what MS is saying (perhaps a bit of anti-MS mentality?). There ARE avenues for attacks through WebGL (e.g. http://bl

No of course it doesn't neccessarily mean that. Like most things in life; it depends. If you feel that your day job is fulfilling your interest and happiness as a developer, I'd say you don't need to work on side-projects, you're probably l

I don't see Twitter as a competitor, for me they're too different and I don't see any problem using both of them parallel. Comparing Windows apps to web-apps; I think for the end-user they're conceptually very similar, just delivered differ

I normally compare the odds of unseating Facebook as the same as unseating Google for search. It might happen at some point, but it will be exceptionally difficult. I think FB is so much more ingrained than any other social network has been

Microsoft showed off a new option for creating UIs and now everyone is running around saying the whole .NET eco-system is going down the can. If you believe that you are a freaking idiot!

Agreed, currently there no real competitor to facebook, if people are closing their accounts its because they want to remove themselves from social networking all together (my one friend did this) rather than move to a different service. Fa

I think this could be done safely (well just about as safe as sending forgotten password reset links): 1. Set a short expiry date on the link (1 day). 2. On first click within 1 day, log user user in and expire link. Ask user if they want

Based on that logic no one should be building iPhone or iPad apps. You have to commit to something at some point. The odds of a company ditching a product they have invested hugely into is probably the same as the odds of an open technology

As a .NET dev, I'm not worried, MS has invested really heavily into .NET, it's everywhere in their eco-system now. Even if the preferred way to build some desktop apps was HTML/JS, .NET is still going to be in use in many other places. Ev

Nope I haven't, I'm going on standard PC and Macbook (not pro) touch-pads that I've used. I'd like to try one of the new Apple trackpads out, but don't know anyone that has one.

Am I alone in my hatred of touch-pads? I'm 10x more productive on a desktop with a mouse compared to a touch-pad on a laptop.
