As for the monitors themselves, it's much much less about the size and more about the pixels. My primary monitor is a 1920x1200 and I love it. I have three other 'smaller' (in terms of pixels) and I honestly think the fourth one is more o

This has certainly been my experience with my Verizon DroidX. Fantastic hardware, and I love Android, but it came loaded up with crapware I can't uninstall. A Blockbuster App!? Hell, why not put AOL on it while we're at it.

Excellent talk by Resig. Plenty of concrete practices rather than the vague bullet points you usually get in a talk. The part about dropping IE6 not impacting jQuery is interesting. I personally get burned by IE7 when using jQuery much more

I'm sure most people are (rightly) going to take Microsoft's word on this with a great deal of skepticism, but kudos to them for at least responding to it in a timely fashion and with what appears to be a responsible approach to the allegat

Ok, wow, I was speaking more of the aggregate statistics, but both of those sound like great features. We're actually about to take our wholesaler/b2b only electronics site retail/open-to-the-public in the next month or so. I'm going to ke

Nice methodology. What I'd be really interested in seeing is how these numbers impact traffic or conversion rate.

In this case, it's because HP was dumping Hurd because of the controversy. You can't sever ties with someone but keep them on the payroll for 5 years. Even if it amounts to the same thing.

True. With such a good IDE, I don't mind the verbosity, but I can certainly see why some people do. Linq, on the other hand, does quite a bit do reduce the amount of code you have to write to work with collections. I've just started using i

Yeah, this guy is a piece of work. He's either saying that so he can save face as he backs down, or else he's going to later claim the mosque-builders went back on their word.

Nice UI, I like the simplicity and familiarity quite a bit. As for your questions: - Do you see a use for this in your daily life? If not, is there additional/different content that will get you into using something like this? Yes, but it

The level of hyperbole in the title of this article versus what the guy is actually saying is striking.

Ok, yeah, I've run into that before, and it is a pain. But I've heard that if you call Microsoft they'll always reactivate a license in that situation.

No one's really mentioned some of their heavy hitting Enterprise stuff other than Exchange and Office, like Dynamics AX. That type of stuff has very little to fear from FOSS, and more to fear from companies like Oracle and SAP, which are go

I also don't get the built in unreliability comment, either. Windows has been pretty darn stable since they went to the NT kernel. Really, all three main desktop OSs are pretty stable these days. I get a BSOD on Windows 7 maybe once every

The real question for me is whether I'll ever see this behavior. Other than the occasional image search, I do basically all my searching via the Chrome tab-complete search functionality. I'm sure I'm in the minority of Google users, and

Boy, I sure agree with everything he says in principle. I certainly prefer to do layout work directly in the XML where possible. But I can't help but wonder if this approach will hamper the Android Market ecosystem. How many great designe

I agree 100%. I love early tech history articles like this, but he's assigning 'better/worse' valuations to things that are simply a matter of familiarity. Other than having the windows logo, the windows key and the command key functiona
