The editor's response reveals a lot about her understanding (or lack thereof) of the business she's in. Normally I'm willing to overlook small typos in blog posts -- but when you are an editor, and you are writing an important response on

Seems flawed. If all that McCandless did was scrape status updates for "break up" and "broken up", he may well have included events referring to bands or other groups breaking up. It would have been better to look at changes in Facebook's

An organization I used to work for wanted to be able to analyze search keywords entered on the website's search form. But the search was a homegrown system. So several business departments and the IT department entered into a series of long

Thanks for the tip. I checked it out and posted to the blog about it. Looks like it could be really handy if you've got a newborn.

Why shut down so many products within a few days after launch? Doesn't seem like enough time to test traction.

I'll disagree. Here's why you should send a thank-you note: Though it may not matter to some hiring managers, it can make a difference for others. I put myself in that latter category. Whenever I'm in a hiring position, I take a close lo

"Universal healthcare" != "government-run healthcare". Under the US plan for universal healthcare, the government does not take over the healthcare providers. Rather, it is more tightly regulating insurance companies and businesses to inc

Wait a minute -- doesn't school already offer repeated examples of the effects of practice on results? After all, what is studying but practice? And what is an exam, but a way to measure one's skills (and therefore compare them)? In other

Weights and measures are already regulated in the U.S. This is why, when you pay for a gallon of gas, you can be sure you are getting an actual, standard gallon of gasoline. This in itself doesn't seem to create a barrier to entry for gas

The reason WordPress has NOT been taken seriously as a full-fledged CMS is that, for most of its life, WordPress has not allowed you to create complex content types. You were pretty much limited to "blog post" and "page" types. Sure, you c

Just because there aren't as many known exploits for MT doesn't mean it's more secure than WP. That's the same argument used when people say Apple software is more secure than Microsoft software. Yet if Apple software was used by more tha

Not to hijack this thread, but I find it interesting to compare the fallout of the BP CEO's speech with the analysis of Obama's speech about the disaster: http://www.cnn.com/2010/POLITICS/06/16/obama.speech.analysis... Choose your words w

Agreed. I was surprised by this similar sentence in the article, stating that autism "has increased dramatically in children over the past 20 years." Such an important component of the article shouldn't be misstated like that. That really

Agreed. I was confused at first. Maybe just call it "the easiest way to create step-by-step screenshots"? Or maybe something like: "Show them exactly what you mean: The easiest way to create animated, step-by-step screenshots".

It's good for a laugh, but ultimately not much more useful than going to epicurious or allrecipes and randomly picking a recipe. Usually, the problem isn't not having any recipes, it's not knowing what to make given the ingredients already

I don't use git but am considering it. So I was hoping this article might point out a few things I should beware of before getting started. Instead, all it provides is one, single, minor example of a potential issue: you can't commit the sa

Visualization of data tends to be pretty interesting to a lot of us. While yes, the original post is a trite joke about Fox News, it's interesting to look beyond it to the graph itself and wonder how you would show that data in a smarter w

If you have a San Francisco public library card, you can get access to the entire Safari Techbooks collection online. Other libraries may have the same service. It's a huge resource and well worth the ten minute stop into a local library

I'm not sure I'd want to hire someone who hadn't switched jobs several times in their careers so far -- especially if they worked in tech over the past 10 to 15 years. In my experience, people who have worked at various companies bring a
