I know for a fact that every middle school in my immediate area teaches computer programming of some kind. It's an elective but it's available. As for it being required of every student I don't know that I agree with that. I work with "no

A couple things: 1. RSS isn't dying. Whenever you see one site's news stories on another site's page that's using RSS. Plus there are a lot of specialized aggregators that use RSS to work (Techmeme is one I believe) 2. Individual RSS Re

Which is sort of the point. I hate when people do this too but people started doing it because other people put them on hold. So it's basically being preemptively rude to someone else to keep them from being rude to you. Whether it's effe

The sad fact is I'd actually buy an OS/2 Phone. (It's true. More than a decade after the @#%$ that was Windows '95 beat us and I still can't let it go)

I agree with you but I'd bet those are TechCrunch's most popular posts. In fact, the author (MG Siegler) was essentially hired because he's good at writing those types of post. People like trashy journalism. It's like the Tiger Woods thin

I see where you're coming from but you have to look at this logically. If things worked the way you wanted them to than an evangelist would just have to retire if his company fired him. I've always though of Evangelists as slightly more us

From The Register... AWS says that it can currently support stored, on-demand media now but will support the streaming of live events sometime in 2010. Here's the link: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/12/16/aws_s3_cloudfront_me...

Call me crazy but this doesn't seem that hard to do. Take text in search box and redirect to custom URL. It's literally around 6 lines of code (with error checking). So the resistance to do it seems odd to me

And it's entertaining enough to give to other non-technical "stake holders" in your website planning committee. Which means a lot when you're trying to convince them not to make an egregious UI mistake.

Especially when you're gaining at the expense of a dying competitor. I don't claim to know how much Linux will grow in the future but there's no doubt it's growth over the last 5 years has had a lot to do with Sun collapsing and companies

In addition to that you don't really know what the market it going to look like 2 to 3 months from now when this ships. Apple, Asus, Dell and others could very well have a tablet in the market by then. So even if you were willing to chanc

First let me say "Great Post." It was really helpful in defining the issue. But while I don't dispute the legal conclusions you came to I don't agree with your end conclusion. In a civil suit Arrington and Techcrunch would probably lose t

People who believe in AGW don't see anything wrong with those e-mails. They consider it just another part of the "extremely well organized, well funded" PR Campaign. Their argument would be that a bunch of people are taking sentences out

We were just talking about this in my office the other day. How "feature match" is such a popular strategy because it's something a non-technical manager can say without having to rely on his technical staff (which in many managers' eyes m

The President wrote a memo saying he wanted this on his first day and only now do we have a directive. A directive that asks the various departments to make a plan in the next 4 months. So in the end it's going to take over a year and a h

I agree that Arrington got kicked off what is essentially a sinking ship and that he should count his blessings. But he doesn't seem to know that. He admits he was willing to go ahead with supporting this product until a week ago. Also th

It's funny that they'd go ahead with this after all that's happened in the last couple weeks (the so called "Climategate") I'm certainly not saying the accusations debunk Global Warming or anything like that. But when something comes up th

I have a friend who is self-employed as a web designer. He pays $269 a month for Health Insurance. That's lower than his car payment, house payment, monthly food bill, etc... In fact, by his own admission it's only $100 more than he spen
