Rohan, Pretty difficult to parse "coolest JS library". The "42" for that question came up as "it depends for what" ;-) Anyway, I use this site as a quick reference to see what is new in JS world. www.functionn.in The author seems t

+1 Actually, IMO, you do raise some very good (and uncomfortable) points. I've read on the papers that research studies actually support the points you make. Here's the article: http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2010/jul/02/gail-din

FWIW, This is a French technical conference for open source hobbyists. The talk was ~50 minutes long. The talk is in French +1 for the topic. Alas, I am not a French speaker (and so, cannot benefit from it). This might be of interest to

Thank you very much. It's a really kind gesture. Much appreciated by all I think.

Very ironically, when I was reading your story, the first thing that came to my mind was a Knight rider episode (No Big Thing) as there was also a somewhat similar trick pulled in that episode... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0620860/ http

While context also has some part to play, in general I am with you in what you are trying to say. BTW, are fictional characters counted as references? ;-) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherlock_Holmes#Knowledge_and_s... From that article,

The crux of the article is this: Amazon joins Walmart in push for online sales tax not out of some newfound concern for "marketplace fairness," but because Amazon's business model is changing in such a way that now Amazon stands to benef

Going through the online version now. Very pragmatic writing style and wastes no time in getting to the point (Kernigan/Ritchie influence is seen). Very nice. Thank you for sharing it with one and all.

Yes, definitely been an interesting discussion. Thanks :-). Even more surprising for me was Maxthon's ad-free results as well. FWIW, I'd definitely recommend looking into other alternative search engines like those I mentioned earlier. Usua

Hi, Good show. I checked your links on Maxthon [my IE without the IE baggage] and on Firefox (default browser with ABP add-on) for comparison. 1. On FF I have ABP installed, but there were no ads on Maxthon either for Ask. Is it due to "sea

[Somewhat relevant, somewhat off-topic] Commission collections and ethics aside, I actually cannot understand the venom towards Ask (its search results). I believe in keeping web searches open with multiple choices made available to users,

That article is more than a decade old! Much water has flown under the bridge since then. Fast forward to 2012, the "developed world" itself is conceding there are also many problems with this "green revolution" approach, that it is no long

I am in the same boat, and in the end, I simply ended up becoming a statistic (dropped out). I agree with you on the Udacity point. I found the lack of tight schedule a blessing, actually.
