Microsoft have never been good at product naming. Just today they renamed 'Visual Studio Online' to 'Visual Studio Team Services' because people thought it was an online version of Visual Studio. They need a VP of Produc

Apple does not fab its own chips, it just designs them from IP licenced from British firm ARM. This article is referring to constructing a fab plant to produce nand chips.

I agree with the parent poster. If you had a separate loosely coupled Stripe importer system you could process those Stripe event streams into the required aggregates via a queue. That way you save your precious web server resources for pro

And when I say "testing different approaches" I mean: * completely ripping off competitor business websites * throwing PCI compliance and SSL encryption out the window * generally treating our VC money purchased customers from our

Wow, this is a brutally honest read, and it resonates more because the author is now diseased and this was a reflection back on his life before he left us.

Yes this metric counts those too.

They are not talking about active users. The metric quoted was "used Facebook in a single day". I know for a fact that they count any "Like" click or any Facebook comment on any web page on the internet when they quote &

We experienced these problems at my startup using these two technologies too.

That, and the incompetence they have in spending it. I will not donate to red cross disaster relief again.

This rig does stereoscopic shots from two different perspectives at once, which the Panono does not. That's just a flat still shot camera(s).

Could it be that children are just happier than adults, regardless of their material assets. Adults have responsibilities and stresses that children do not - and that is probably more of a causation than their material assets.

But if you look at the old wordmark and the new not yet implemented wordmark side by side, you can barely tell the difference between the two after careful scrutiny - and that is looking at both side by side blown up to big proportions. In

You have no sense of humor. We find this funny because we get emails like this every day. You are far too quick to pull the racist card.

We're the same here. The Google Drive client is buggy, slow, and unreliable - but the Dropbox sync client is rock solid. We use Dropbox with Google Apps.

The example he gave was a young police officer who was a very experienced driver, and had a passenger call 911 in a panic while he was unable to stop the car with his foot firmly planted on the brake - and it ended up killing all four occup

That is short sited. Just because you and your friends won't use it does not mean it should not be included in a product used by hundreds of millions of people in both business and personal applications.

Incredible Universe was started by the CEO of Tandy, rather than RadioShack.

Git is not Github. They are moving to Git but it's hosted on Google, not Github.

I did the same - uninstalled it. For the most part I like Material Design, but on a Nexus 5 the new calendar app is woefully bad, and the reviews piling into the Play store tell that story - in the last week overwhelmingly 19k negative revi

Actually that's not the case at all. Google Apps users use the "regular" Gmail as their daily email client day in and day out, and there are over 6 million of those users who pay for the right to use Gmail as their client. Th

Dude, that's just the article, not the source. Eg: Github as CMS.

I think you mean a local version, or a non-hosted version.

Yeah that's what I thought - unless he actually works for Facebook. But then the comments on his post are actually quite informative, so I guess each to their own and maybe he has a great audience on FB.

Looks like they needed to have built-in support for time based scheduled execution of jobs at a specific time in the future. Rabbit MQ does not have that (that I'm aware of) without doing some horrible hacks around one queue per messag

LOL, the turbo button when the front of the PC displayed the number of MHz the computer was operating at, and you could slow it down so you could play old games. Good times.

I agree, this saga is hurting Amazon a lot. From a PR perspective at a time when American citizens are worried about monopolies and the implications of technology conglomerates, this very public spat seems ill timed. The New York Times has

I agree. That monkey was paralyzed below the point of the spinal cord severing - so the monkey had massive complications and to say there were none is ridiculous. No doctor has even been able to successfully connect the animals' spinal

Google Apps no longer serves ad's in email to anyone. So their business model is not to sell ads - it's to charge for email, calendar and storage - a very similar model to FastMail. Except Gmail has perfect forward secrecy, the be

I enjoyed reading his comment and commentary on life as he saw it in Japan. Don't admonish the poster because you think his audience (we) might be idiots.
