Sorry...what does colloidal silver have to do with it? Did you read the author's bio? He's no slouch - Yale grad, litigator with experience in the Supreme Court, writes for HuffPo...but I guess we should write it off immediately b

I love those cheap refurbished IBM X servers. I use the tower models as workstations.

Nitpick: Why use a whale as the logo when the tagline says that it's a "lightweight" container system?

You're right that apps are a definite factor in the success of a platform. I think we can both be right here, so +1 yourself buddy :) Without any good apps, I think a more open hardware strategy is worthless - but a more open hardware

I think you got it backwards. Windows only obtained the lion's share of apps because Microsoft had the right hardware strategy. When Apple released their graphical OS, Windows had zero market share. Windows wasn't even a product,

Here's how: Android = Windows = An OS that runs on many different brands of hardware. iOS = Mac OS = An OS that runs on exactly one brand of hardware. Does every facet of the Android/Windows ecosystem have to match for this huge s

"Crazy" conspiracy theory - China is under the control of the same group that has utter control of the US and the UK and to keep control, they create much of the chaos that we experience. See: Mao Zedong (Yale graduate) and Every

I guess we'll have to wait and see. It is going to be interesting to see where we are in 10 more years.

So, which platform independent kit do you use where every framework is kept perfectly up to date for every platform?

I hate their pricing too and I hope they make their products a little more accessible to the developer who is just starting out in mobile.

I'd like to agree with you, but I don't think HTML5 is going to change anything unless they get rid of the HTML part. I don't every want to layout my UI by saying "div div div div div div div". I want to say "w

I will concede that in the current non-ideal environments in which we work and play - there are all sorts of reasons that I don't want to use a native application. For instance - I will never install a social network application even i

At my house we have a full Windows 7 PC or laptop attached to every TV and a wireless combo keyboard/trackpad. It's been that way for over 5 years and there's nothing we can't do with them. We didn't spend much to d

OK...but for actual applications that perform some specific functions? In other words, not news/article websites pretending to be apps... Some examples: A voice recorder. A calculator. A camera application. A compass. A drawing program

I didn't even know there was a debate. Doesn't everybody prefer native apps when they can get them? I think the only people debating this are web developers who don't want to learn anything new.

That's right. I was not specific. How then could you have possibly derived that very specific accusation from my own non-specific offering?

No. I am not. Read my original post again where I said: ...if you know what you're doing. Where did I imply anything remotely close to what you just said?

And I hate the "I can't imagine how to do this, so it's not possible" argument. We have syslogs going back 7 years. You want to come audit our network? I'll bet you all of the money in my bank account that you find

Nothing new was even revealed though! There were articles in major publications over 5 years ago about the NSA putting boxes on mirror ports at Internet backbone sites. That's when we started hearing about the CEO of Qwest.

I've been running Windows without AV for over 10 years, so it's not even really necessary if you know what you're doing. The only anti-virus measure that I take is to upload unknown executables to http://www.virust

Wow, that's impressive! I just couldn't imagine working that way, so thanks for clarifying.

I like the idea of single message websites and I've thought about doing one. My idea was more like "multiple open letters directed to a particular company, about their technology products" but then I thought - eh, first world
