The logo is pants, but have you seen the mascots? I'm not even going to find a link they're so excruciatingly excremental. Personally, I loved Vancouver's, but think Barcelona's a work of genius; joy and athleticism in two brush strokes and

For many, quine = young woman If you've ever been to Aberdeen, the one in Scotland, then you'll know that they have a very distinctive accent. They also have a wide ranging, and pretty much universally used dialect called Doric. http://en.

Can I just adjust you last sentence: Start simple and then keep throwing out stuff you don't need.

Your requirements describe a web-site. Nothing more. Also, your alternative explanations are very Microsoft/Windows focused. I find your definition of the cloud as very confusing and very limiting.

I'm from the UK, but I've lived and worked in France and Spain. Neither of those two countries is anything like the UK or each other in terms of working practices. So, to group Europe doesn't make a lot of sense to be honest. I've worked in

I'm old. I live in a country that until fairly recently universally funded tertiary education. (What Americans call college, most other places call university, but we can all accept it as tertiary education, I believe.) I was 28 when I star

I think we're in Diaspora territory again, where I want to own the data and allow access to you via my own criteria. I've been baulking at Firefox 4's "sync" today because the data is on their server with their key. A bit 1990's me thinks.

I hate c++. I've always hated it. I first remember being aware of it in 1983. We didn't have the Internet then, so it could have only been through magazines that I became aware of it. I remember looking at it and thinking, "This can't be th

I was talking to my goddaughter at her 21st birthday family gather in South West London a couple of weeks back. She, and her boyfriend, have already resigned themselves to never being able to buy their own home -- barring a lottery win, or

You need to validate your code. It's currently invalid due a number of fundamental errors. A simple method is to use the HTML Validator plug-in in Firefox. It's not perfect, but a simple, effective guide.

Like the post above regarding Japan, it's cultural symbolism. The only thing approaching religion in Hong Kong is money. Religion, as we in the West think of it, in terms of guiding entities, monuments, and communal gatherings is almost abs

The medium is great, but the current implementations are v0.1 alphas. Unfortunately, marketing will buff and shine, or attempt to, until reality bites. As they say in the music business, "You can't polish a turd". Now, v2.0 should be intere

It's a cracking entry too! I had the pleasure of meeting Noel Odell at the RGS (Royal Geographic Society) in London once when Doug Scott was presenting. It was like I imagine meeting Einstein. He "knew" that Mallory topped out, and because

Yes, I'm a one off payment person too. Different strokes, I guess. I dislike the accumulation of small payments. I'm usually happy to pay for 12 months without a discount. Of course, this thinking does not stretch to taxes, which must alway

That all seem incredibly expensive. I'm in the UK and just bought an HTC Wildfire on an 18-month £25 (~$38) contract (no extra for the phone, which is mine at the end of the contract). That's with 3Gb 3G, 600mins, unlimited texts. I mostly

The article answers the question itself, so the title is rhetorical: develop them because folk are asking for them. This, plus the fact that the android market is growing very rapidly answers the question for me.

Took me a minute for the penny to drop. Lawrence Page asking how, in Java, to identify his "web robot" as, presumably, google. Nice bit of history.
