Part of the dilemma, I think, is that in the age of Google, everything except the markup IS data (and in some cases the markup is data too).

From the top response: Google Chrome is a web browser, kind of like your tool to let you connect to the internet. There are a lot of different web browsers you can use to connect to the internet You're doing it wrong :(.

Every generation is wrong about that, of course. Actually, they're right -- it's just that in the grand scheme of things, how much easier we have it today than the last generation, is insignificant compared to how hard life is in general.

First thought: The opening tag line, You can make great applications with PHP. Is relatively underwhelming. It's like saying 'you can make great cakes with sugar.' - true, but not really saying a lot.

What I find most interesting is the use of spatial organization when taking the Jeep apart. You could probably walk those guys out half way through, bring in a different set of guys, and they could put it back together by just looking at w

Maybe my comment was a bit ambiguous. These days 'App' can cover a wide variety of concepts. I'm referring to the 'App' focus of things like the iPhone and the iPod (bite size, one-off programs), not 'Web Apps' (which are more like servic

I'm not talking about the distribution method. An online marketplace for digital products is not what defines the app model. The app model is the idea of small individual programs for each individual task/need/amusement/whatever, with min

I'm firmly convinced that the app model is a dead end, which makes the whole article pointless.

So, to recap: EULAs are binding, they can control just about everything you might dream up, and only Congress can change the situation. Huge leap. From what I can tell, the ruling only applies to resale, and can't reliably be construed t

... and only humans have managed to kill off hundreds of millions of our kind in the same amount of time via war and genocide. The point is, evolution has only one measure for success: continued existence. Everything else is irrelevant.
