That's definitely fair. Thanks for the feedback, I will try adding those features as time permits.

What do you prefer about it? The format, the content or something else?

Looks cool. Love the fact that it's native web and not Flash based.

Definitely agree on turning off some of the feeds. Regarding hover vs. click, that was a decision primarily made because of tablets. I usually visit the site on my iPad and hover doesn't make sense in that context.

It's all about the organization valuing one's work. If testers feel their job is important and the organization rewards them commensurate to their impact, I don't see why a good tester would want to leave. There's already so few of them.

There are a bunch of different issues to be parsed out here: First and foremost, I think what this comes down to is understanding the priorities for your particular organization. There are some places where a high test:dev ratio may be cri

It's nice to see a compendium of the side of the story that TechCrunch et al do not really focus on. More like this please!

That might help with games that really need to eke out performance, but there are a lot of simpler apps that could be enabled and aren't there yet. Things like Mint or TaskRabbit for example, likely would not use native code. Seems to me li

Sometimes, it really does help though. The team running Windows 7 and now Windows 8 was the core of Office (Steven Sinofsky, Julie Larson-Green, Jon DeVaan). They really helped shake off the engineering problems during the Vista timeframe a

Microsoft had such a program back in the mid 2000s. It was not heavily advertised but it basically trained people with math/science backgrounds in undergrad. You came in and went to class for half the day and then worked on a product team f

You may want to give http://www.teamtreehouse.com a shot. They have some pretty solid videos and also allow you access to their very active Facebook community. Worth trying out for a month at least.

It could be a good way for them to claim "units" of sale vs. Apple since iOS+Mac already has Apple in a strong second in PC sales. There's some face to be saved in being the top PC seller. Oh wait, Apothekar already tried to jettison that.

Unfortunately, the app ecosystem has not caught up to the system UX yet. A lot of the apps are slower and have fewer features than their iOS/Android counterparts. That seems to be the case with webOS as well. Hopefully, these platforms catc
