I need to defend SAP on this subject. While I agree that they are pretty poor about reaching out beyond their own ecosystem they acknowledge this is a weakness of theirs and they are trying to fix it. They've done a lot over the last year o

So I'm just going to throw it out there that I'm a young SAP Developer. I've been known as an "up and comer" in the community (yes, we have a community) until I decided I was no longer sure I wanted SAP to be my long term career choice. I'v

Sounds like a victim of his own fear of failure. Knowing you're about to start an endeavor that will truly test you is overwhelmingly scary for someone who isn't ready to be tested. I've watched a lot of people (myself included) give up bef

So Zuckerburg et al have reiterated again and again that they are a platform, that their strategy is horizontal, that they want to be tethered to no specific device or service. At least we can sleep soundly knowing the company managing ever

I think this was always an obvious side effect of Siri. The more interesting question is how does Google provide a competitive solution without cannibalizing their own revenue?

"Technical debt is not accidental" is a pretty bold statement in my opinion. Technical debt could be defined as all which needs refactoring. Making a mistake in your original system design because of an unforeseen feature, scope creep, opti

During startup school Zuckerberg said something along the lines of 'a company is the most efficient way to align a large group of people to solve a problem' and this is going to be the fundamental obstacle to a true crowdsource model. You n

I totally agree that this is lack luster reporting but I imagine it may spark an interesting conversation seeing as many of us have expected the "education bubble" to pop and this may be an early indicator of it. There have been no reports

I think the scariest part of this drone trend is the opportunity to wage war without losing human life. This shift in risk will dramatically reduce the barrier to starting a war and will further reinforce the power of those already on top.

UAVs are currently not allowed to be flown by commercial entities in US airspace. If/when that changes it will be fascinating to watch the variety of startups that crop up to take advantage of it.

I love this op-ed, I've harbored similar feelings since the rise of iTunes and haven't owned an apple product since its arrival. I have always readily admitted the superiority of Apple's design and user experience and I admire Jobs for ever

I find it odd that they are reaching out to the developer community rather than strictly taking a legal course of action. Why communicate to the public at all? Its not like they are trying to foster a customer base and I'm certainly not goi

I agree that the 80/20 rule probably applies to this situation. Novice users (a larger percentage of Bing/Yahoo users) have more simple queries and are more likely to click poor results. Tech Savvy users (which Google owns the lion's share

Is there any word on how Google instant search impacts this number? That by itself could account for the large discrepancy. And what about map queries? Do those get counted as queries without successful clicks?

Depending on where you look the golden rule for longevity seems to be 6-7 hours of sleep. The interesting thing about 7 being the more common number is that 7 doesn't fit into the commonly held belief that sleeping in sync with 90 minute RE

"Sleep is important" has been a recurring theme for the last couple of years but I am one of the few that don't buy into it at all. Maybe I fall into the 2.5% but if I sleep 8+ hours I feel overslept and groggy. I function moderately to exc
